Salute to the General novel Chapter 227

The night fell and the city was brightly lit.

At the Cloud Palace, a birthday dinner with over a hundred tables with almost a thousand guests had just begun.

Penny, with Nathan by her side, gave a speech thanking those who had made it to celebrate her birthday, before giving a toast to all the guests.

The multitude of guests responded enthusiastically and the atmosphere became very lively.

Nathan and Penny returned to their seats and sat down, and the dinner started officially.

There was a ginormous LCD TV screen embedded in one of the walls in the hall of Cloud Palace.

The size of the screen was so big, it was comparable to those seen in a movie theater.

Thomas Dunn had already instructed the manager to turn on the TV and tune into the local Channing station.

All the guests there were waiting to see if Sylvie Larson would appear on TV at 7pm to make a public apology to Penny.

Penny turned to Nathan and whispered, "This doesn't seem right. Why don't we turn off the TV?”

Nathan answered nonchalantly. "It was probably Thomas' idea to turn on the TV. But I don't see anything wrong with it.”

Penny bit her lip helplessly and didn't say anything further.

Soon enough, the clock ticked to 7pm.

The local Channing station began reporting the news, and Sylvie Larson was nowhere to be seen at all.

The guests at the dinner exchanged looks, then broke off into whispers and gossip.

"Why isn't Sylvie Larson making an apology on TV as promised?"

"She probably found some way to get out of it. After all, she is the daughter of the Larsons and the CEO of Hay Corp and is a well-known figure in Channing."

"That's right. Even if she wriggled her way out of it, Nathan and Penny probably won't be able to do anything to her.”

Nathan frowned in confusion. He was just about to have Colin make a call to the TV station to find out what had happened when the image on TV screen suddenly changed.

The news program that was airing midway suddenly disappeared, and in its place was a photo of a woman scantily dressed and looking disheveled.

And the woman in the picture was none other than Penny!
