Salute to the General novel Chapter 554

Sean hopelessly replied, "Understood."

Nick nodded satisfactorily before he scanned the place and frowned. "Which of you are Nathan Cross and Penny Smith? Step forward right away."

"I can spare the rest of the Smiths, but Nathan and Penny must be punished."

Denise had talked to Nick before he departed for Channing. She said that he must not let Nathan and Penny off so easily, even if the Smiths admitted defeat.

That was why Nick demanded to see Nathan and Penny.

Sean looked troubled when he clarified, "I guess you are not aware of it."

"Penny may be a Smith, but her family had a falling out with us so our relationship is terrible. As such, we rarely communicate with one another."

"I don't think they will come even if I, the grandpa, voice up and demand that they come to apologize to you."

Nick frowned when he heard that, and he complained, "You Smiths are in such a mess.”

Ferlyn's eyes started glowing as she sat on Nick's lap.

Her personal life had always been a mess, and she had been with many men before. Most of her exes were rich and powerful.

Her boyfriend at the time, Chris Perry, was a captain with the navy.

He had to work far away, so the two of them rarely spent time together.

Moreover, Ferlyn didn't really like Chris and was actually dissatisfied with his rank. She thought that a mere captain was not worthy of her.

Although she was forced to sit on Nick's lap at that moment and had to let him touch her, she didn't actually mind. In fact, she was secretly happy about it.

Nick Griffin was too powerful. If she could take advantage of the situation, she might just be able to make it to the top with his help.

Upon thinking about that, she took the initiative to get even closer to Nick.

She then deliberately clarified, "The truth is that most members of the Smith family have always looked up to and respected the Griffins.”

"The only exceptions are the traitors of our family, Penny Smith and her husband Nathan. They insist on going against the Griffins."

Ferlyn subtly nudged herself closer to Nick so that no one else was aware of her action, but it was not possible for Nick not to have detected her advance.
