Eyeing the two men standing before him, fury blazed through Nathan. He slammed his hand down on the table as he roared, "Kneel!"
Thud! Thud!
Utterly shocked at Nathan's yelling, John and David fell to their knees immediately.
Penny's jaw dropped open as she stared at the scene before her in surprise.
One was the young master of Juno Hotels, while the other was the manager of Channing Bank.
As far as she knew, these two men were both influential people in Channing. Yet, with one word from Nathan, they had kneeled before him.
The two men were both embarrassed at their automatic response to his command. There was a put-out expression on their faces as they sneaked glances at one another from the corners of their eyes.
When John fell to his knees, he thought that he would die of shame. To his surprise, the beaten up old man beside him had got down on his knees as well.
Blinking, he thought to himself. Huh? Mr. Cross wanted me to kneel. Why are you kneeling as well?
David shared the same thoughts.Heh, little brat, you're pretty loyal.
Although they were each taken aback by why the other was kneeling, they were also comforted by the act.
After all, since this was a shameful moment for both of them, none of them would let news of this leak out.
Nathan's voice was cold as he asked, "Do you know your wrongs now?”
"Yes." The men chorused in reply before glaring at one another.
Like two students who were fighting to answer the teacher's question, there was a slight hint of hostility in their eyes.
Nathan demanded, "What did you do wrong?"
