Jarek was holding onto two files in the hotel.
One was Nathan's, and the other was Penny's.
There was barely anything in Nathan's file, but Penny's file had dozens of documents in it.
It was unfortunate that he could not get more details about Nathan.
All he knew was that Nathan used to be the commander-in-chief of the North Army and that he was now mostly at home. Most of the information in the files were the records of the battles Nathan used to be in.
Jarek narrowed his eyes before muttering, “This guy has got a long list of achievements in the army. He must have taken credit for many of his subordinate's achievements. Why else would his list be so elaborated?”
He then threw Nathan's file aside in disdain before reading Penny's file.
The moment he opened Penny’s file and saw the photo of her in her work outfit, his brows raised.
Isn't she too beautiful? She's the bestlooking woman I've ever seen!
Jarek finally realized why Penny was called the goddess of Eurasia's corporate world. Her looks, figure, and demeanor made her out to be the perfect woman.
In the photo, Penny had both the innocence of a young woman and the feminine qualities of a mature woman.
Jarek's lips curled.
A plan had formed in his head. Once he got rid of Nathan, Penny would become a widow.
Moreover, Penny would eventually submit to Ariarica and agree to their terms. She would end up giving half of the company's overseas profits to Ariarica, as well as letting Ariaricans control their overseas businesses.
Thus, Jarek thought, When that happens, I'll request from my higher-ups to become the one in charge of Cross Group’s overseas businesses. Then, I'll win Penny over. By then, I'd have both a good career and a beautiful woman.”
As Jarek thought about killing her husband and making her his, a perverted grin grew on his lips.
“Coen, Owain.”
At that, two tall Ariarican men appeared in front of him.
Both were elite soldiers in the Ariarican army, and they were two of the bodyguards that Jessica had brought along.
Jarek had asked Jessica for them to assist him in killing Nathan.
Coen and Owain were both standing straight with straight backs as if they were two robots. In unison, they asked, “How may we help you, Mr. Zeyl?”
As Jarek narrowed his eyes, he uttered, “Prep the car and bring your subordinates. We'll be paying Nathan Cross a visit.”
“Understood, Mr. Zeyl.”
Penny, Nathan, and the others all chuckled merrily before lifting their glasses to toast Ava.
After drinking, they became much more relaxed with each other.
Moreover, Nathan had said that Ava was the birthday girl, so she could take the day off to enjoy as much as she could.
For once, Ava let herself loose. After a few drinks with the others, the urge to dance overcame her. Hence, she took off her jacket and happily left the booth to dance on the dance floor.
It was then Nathan, Penny, and the others realized that Ava was not a bad dancer at all. In fact, the way she danced was seducing.
Penny whispered to Nathan, “I never thought that Ava would be this good at dancing despite her usual solemn demeanor and the number of drinks she had earlier.”
Nathan smiled and replied, “Everyone has something they like. It'll be boring if their whole life is just about working. Ava must be very stressed working as your bodyguard. This is a good opportunity for her to unwind.”
Penny chuckled. “She's too pretty, and her dancing is hot. I'm scared that the men on the dance floor would bear ill thoughts toward her.”
Indeed, Ava had an attractive slim figure and long legs.
The moment she started dancing, the men around her began giving her flirtatious glances.
Right as Nathan was about to reassure Penny that her worry was unnecessary and that no one would dare to stir up trouble with Ava, something happened.
