Salute to the General novel Chapter 293

With the firing of a gunshot, Shannon Russo collapsed on the ground, ending her short life that was filled with sins.

"As for the other accomplices, send them to the military prison and make them reform through labor," Franklin Wilson ordered.

"Yes, Sir!"

As always, bad news traveled fast.

Very quickly, news about Shannon Russo's death had spread around the city.

Everyone had a different version of stories about what had happened.

One of the more widely circulated versions of the story was that the former wealthiest man of Channing, Howard Ortiz, had asked Mr. Turner for a favor to spare Nathan Cross's life, which Mr. Turner had acceded to.

May nodded and said, "That's right. We didn't even manage to gain any benefits at all. It was such a flash in the pan. However, it was also a false alarm for us regarding Nathan.”

At the same time, at the Riverside Garden, Benson Smith and Leah were admiring the red ruby necklace which they had lost and recovered. They were both full of praises for their son-in-law for keeping his word and getting the necklace back.

Penny Smith, who had just ended a phone call, walked over and said to her family, "Many of our friends have called to ask about our safety, and I've gotten some updates from them."

Nathan blinked and asked, "What updates?"

"They said that Shannon Russo had upset Mr. Turner, and that had engaged Mr.
