Salute to the General novel Chapter 736

By the time Nathan got back to the hotel, it was already ten at night.

Penny, who was staring blankly at the TV, couldn't help but beam when she saw Nathan.

Running into his embrace, she crowed in delight, "Nathan, you're back!"

Running his hand through her black hair, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Blushing, Penny calmed herself down before muttering, "I was worried about you, of course."

"When Liam called earlier, he sounded so intimidating. I was afraid that something bad might happen."

"I almost couldn't control myself just now.

I wanted to call you and look for you very badly."

Nathan replied with a slight grin, "You don't have to worry. I can easily handle such a trivial matter."

As Nathan hugged Penny tightly in his arms, she felt a little embarrassed.

Subconsciously, she wanted to struggle free but was reluctant to leave his warm embrace.

Finally, she got the better of her bashfulness and buried her head in his chest. She whispered, "Has the matter with the Lane Family been resolved?"

Nathan answered, "It's done. Liam has admitted his mistake and won't cause us any trouble again."

Wide-eyed in surprise, Penny asked, "When Liam called earlier, he threatened to buy over the Cross Group at a low price. Given how aggressive he was, why did he suddenly change his tack?"

Nathan obviously didn't tell Penny about the devastation he wreaked upon the Lane Family. He humored her, "I asked the Mayor to intervene and he managed to persuade the Lane Family to come to their senses.

Penny replied in delight, "So, it's all thanks to Mr. Wates!"

Seizing the opportunity, Nathan added, "By the way, Kenny's son is getting married the day after. I have accepted his invitation for us to attend the wedding."

Penny nodded, "Despite his important position, Kenny seems to be very considerate."
