Salute to the General novel Chapter 1999

Suspicion welled up in Penny's heart. Still, she couldn't prove if Dennis was in league with the thieves.

Hence, she remained distant but polite when she told Dennis, “Thank you for your help, Mr. Turner. Neither one of us likes to drink, though, so we'll treat you to dinner instead if the opportunity arises in the future.”

Dennis noticed that after Nathan said those words, both Penny and Kylie looked at Dennis differently.

Dam it, now the ladies suspect that I am in league with the thieves in addition to being cautious of me.

Dennis knew that it was no longer possible for him to get together with the two ladies that

night.

He looked terrible when he nodded and said, “Okay, next time, then.”

After saying his piece, he left with his men.

As Dennis walked past Nathan, the former lowered his voice and in a hostile tone said, “How dare you butt into my business, punk? Just you wait. Karma will come for you.”

At first, Nathan strongly suspected that Dennis had something up his sleeves.

The former planned to get Colin to investigate the matter later because he didn't want to accuse an innocent man, nor let a guilty one go.

However, Dennis spat that threat before he left.

That got Nathan to grin.

He knew that he no longer needed to get Colin to investigate the matter because Dennis's words practically confirmed his guilt.

Despite his anger, Dennis planned on leaving with his bodyguards after he had threatened Nathan.

Nathan stopped him. “Hold it right there,” growled Nathan.

Dennis paused. He turned around impatiently and asked, “What other nonsense do you have to sprout?”

Nathan replied calmly, “Were you threatening me when you walked past me?”
