Salute to the General novel Chapter 569

When the Smiths heard this, looks of realization appeared on their faces as they thought that all of the credit belonged to Chris!

Everyone surrounded Chris and showered him with compliments. They were all gushing over him, even saying that Ferlyn was blessed to be able to find such a cool boyfriend.

Ferlyn had never thought very highly of Chris, but right now, she was seeing him in a new light.

She gazed admiringly at Chris and said excitedly, "Chris, you're amazing. You managed to get the mayor and police commander-in-chief of Channing, as well as Major-General Wilson to help us. You're my idol!"

Chris' cheeks were flushed, and he felt unbearably embarrassed.

It was because he knew that Nathan was the one who brought forth a large number of troops to defeat Damon Griffin, and all the credit belonged to him.

He was only a lowly navy captain and didn't have such power.

A broad smile had also taken residence on Sean's face. "Haha! Chris, you're indeed a son-in-law worthy of the Smiths!"

Samuel echoed his father's words, "Yes. We can finally have a decent son-in-law. Unlike someone who pretended to be capable and tried taking credit for something he played no part in."

Samuel was obviously targeting Nathan with this remark.

When the Smiths saw Nathan authoritatively order the men around earlier, they thought that he was the one who called over Major-General Franklin and the rest.

When they found out that Chris was the one who gathered the reinforcements, they instantly jeered at Nathan.

They said that Nathan was incompetent, but acted the opposite by taking all the credit for himself when it belonged to

Chris.

Their derogatory remarks made Penny, Benson, and Leah feel embarrassed.

Kylie refused to take this lying down and mustered up the courage to yell, "It's all thanks to my brother-in-law that the crisis has been resolved and we're safe! He deserves the most credit!"

Ferlyn's lips curled in disdain as she scoffed, "Credit? Credit for doing what? Bragging?"

Penny couldn't help but step forward to defend her husband as she solemnly said, "Ferlyn, how can you say that? Forget about everything else, I'm sure you remember how scary the Griffins were, right? If it wasn't for Nathan stepping forward to defeat the Griffins' four generals, perhaps we would've been dead or severely injured before reinforcements arrived. Nathan had risked his life trying to protect us, but now that you're all safe and sound, you forget his efforts and take a dig at him. Do any of you have a conscience?"

What Penny said knocked the Smiths' arrogance down a notch.

Sean awkwardly cleared his throat and said, "Alright, alright. Nathan deserves some credit too, but most of the credit goes to Chris."
