On the way home, Penny could not hold back her curious questions anymore.
"Hubby, why's Wyatt Windsor being so hostile towards you?"
"He's the son of my boss," Nathan replied. "I'm indebted to his parents. He might be a little unruly, but his parents are smart people. I'm sure they will keep his actions in check, so there's no need to worry."
"That's great," Penny said, nodding.
However, Colin and Frida did not seem relieved by Nathan's explanation.
They knew perfectly well the true identity of Wyatt Windsor.
Every conflict Nathan runs into with Wyatt would affect him in one way or another, and its severity would depend on the President's attitude towards the conflict.
Nathan dropped off the women at home before heading out again with Colin.
As they backed out of the neighborhood,
Colin asked Nathan, "Where are we going now, General?"
"Wyatt has not been fond of me since the beginning, but there's no way things would get so bad between us if there had not been someone feeding him lies to fuel his hate for me,” Nathan said coldly.
Colin widened his eyes. "Are you saying Andy and his cronies are behind this?"
"Yeah," Nathan sighed. "It's about time they get punished for this. Take me to where they are now."
"Yes, Sir!"
Meanwhile, in the most expensive private room of Hyatt Hotel...
Several bottles of expensive wine and champagne were displayed on the table.
Andy, Fion, and some other members of the nobility sat around Wyatt as several female idols coaxed glass after glass of wine into them.
However, Wyatt did not look like he was enjoying himself one bit. He downed every glass of wine that was handed to him with a frown on his face.
Andy and Fion exchanged glances with each other.
