Salute to the General novel Chapter 1598

Valois and others were stunned when they heard this.

Then, it dawned upon Valois that his brother had made a calculated decision.

Clifford knew that Nathan would insist on taking Phoebe's life. To prevent that, he made sure that Vadim was the one who fired that killing shot.

At the very least, Phoebe died at the hands of people who cared about her. In doing so, Clifford also managed to keep some of his family's dignity intact.

In addition to that, Mr. Davier had commanded a subordinate to kill his daughter.

This act of cruelty also served as a warning to Nathan.

If Clifford was capable of such cruelty to his own flesh and blood, one could only imagine the kind of revenge that would be inflicted on someone like Nathan.

Both Vadim and Colin bolstered their weapons almost at the same time.

Having heard the gunshot, the forces waiting outside were about to storm the residence again. But given that both Colin and Vadim had put away their weapons, they retreated quietly into the background.

A pale-faced Vadim turned to look at Nathan. He looked positively unwell. “General Cross, are you satisfied now?”

Nathan merely glanced at Phoebe's lifeless body. “That's something you should ask the families of those soldiers.” Having said that, Nathan gathered Colin and Ava and prepared to leave.

Just then, Valois called out to Nathan. “Wait.”

Nathan stopped in his tracks and looked at Valois.

The resentment and hatred that Valois exuded were overpowering. Through gritted teeth, he said, “Nathan, I hope you won't regret what you did today.”

“I, Nathan Cross, have lived my life without feeling shame or regret. I wish I can say the same about your family, Mr. Davier. Having raised children with such poor attitude, you don't deserve any respect from me.”

With a half-hearted shrug, Nathan turned on his heel and left.

After a while, Nathan finally returned to Channing and made his way to the hospital where his wife was warded.

When Penny heard that her unborn child might not survive, she could not stop weeping out of concern and worry. Even then, she had maintained the facade of being strong.
