Salute to the General novel Chapter 1700

Even though Hayley and Kerk were taught a good lesson in front of Nathan and Penny last night, Hayley did not tell her parents about that episode.

As for Agnes and Warren, not only were they completely unaware of Nathan's identity, they had never bonded well with the Smiths too. That was why they ridiculed and humiliated Penny the moment they saw her.

Penny couldn't bring herself to say anything in return, her face was flushed and she was almost in tears.

Not only did Hayley and Kerk behave impudently, even Agnes and Warren were utterly rude as well. This entire family was indeed quite ill-mannered. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

Upon seeing his wife being terribly bullied, his face darkened as he called out to the staff coldly, “Waiter, somebody's interrupting our tea session, will you take care of it?"

Immediately, a manager came over and reprimanded Warren and Agnes unhappily, “Sir, madam. Please compose yourselves and do not disturb our guests.”

When the people around heard the manager, they started glaring at Warren and Agnes.

Both of them felt their faces burning from being ashamed and angry. They started cursing Nathan in their hearts.

Warren replied the manager awkwardly, “Uh... Actually we know each other.”

Agnes followed and said, “That's right! Penny, we can't find any seats. You won't mind if we share

your table, right?”

Even though they had uttered some nasty words earlier, Penny respected them as elders. Seeing that she used to stay at the Sanders' house for the weekends during her years in school, she couldn't refuse their request and said to the manager, “Let's just sit together.”

After Warren and Agnes sat down, they looked at the pot of tea that Nathan and the rest had ordered. The moment they realized it was just a medium-priced pot of tea, they reverted to their old self.

Agnes uttered in disdain, “Ah, my niece is quite thrifty as she is unwilling to spend much on expensive tea.”

Warren waved his hand at the waiter and placed his order. “Give me a pot of Golden Tips that costs eighteen thousand.” Upon hearing that, the waiter invited a tea mistress over to personally prepare the tea for Warren and his wife.

The tea mistress was very skillful. After she had boiled and brewed the tea leaves, she performed a few tricks while pouring the tea. Surrounding guests started cheering and clapping upon seeing that.

Warren and Agnes were also extremely pleased with themselves.

Warren picked up his teacup, took a sip gleefully and praised the tea out loud. Right after, he informed the tea mistress, “Pour a cup for them too.”

The tea mistress replied, “Yes, sir.”
