Nathan knew Jorge was bribed by the Cross Clan to put the Cross Group's application on hold on purpose.
Right now, he was terribly upset at Jorge. He merely answered icily, "Jorge Herman, you're here."
Jorge felt guilty and knew the general wanted to settle the score with him.
When he stepped into the room, he saw someone from the Cross Clan standing there, too.
His heart started thumping madly as he thought the general had also summoned the Cross Clan who bribed him, so as to interrogate them together.
He stared at Nathan frightfully before saying, "Yes, Mr. Cross. You told me to come, so I came at once."
Nathan nodded. He glanced at Gregory and ordered, "Kneel!"
Nathan and Gregory had a bet that if Nathan could summon Jorge over, Gregory would kneel at his feet.
Now that Jorge had arrived, Nathan wanted Gregory to honor the bet by kneeling down.
Gregory did not expect Nathan could make Jorge come to him with just a phone call; Jorge headed the FDA, after all. So many wealthy drug manufacturers wanted to butter him up, but Nathan managed to summon him from Brimmopolis!
Gregory felt as if he was struck by thunder. He couldn't help but wonder how capable Nathan was.
Suddenly, he heard Nathan ordering him to kneel.
Trembling, he plonked onto the ground, utterly terrified.
However, he did not expect Jorge to also kneel down upon hearing Nathan's order.
Gazing at Jorge in disbelief, he thought, I knelt because I lost the bet with Nathan. But why did you kneel too? Are you showing solidarity with me?
Penny watched Gregory and Jorge kneel at Nathan's feet. She was so stunned that her hands moved up to cover her widened mouth.
How surprising!
Both Gregory Cross of the Cross Clan and Mr. Herman are kneeling before Nathan.
Oh dear, no one would believe me if I told them about it. But it really happened before my eyes!
