Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 171

As such, Sean Smith, together with Samuel, Paul, Miles and May, headed off for the Peony Hall at once.

When the party arrived, Benson Smith was in the midst of blaming Nathan and Penny for organizing this birthday lunch. At the sight of his dad and brothers, Benson walked towards them with conflicting emotions. He asked weakly, "Dad, Samuel, Paul, what brings you guys here?"

Sean Smith narrowed his eyes as he said, "We're just here to take a look.”

Samuel Smith looked around the hall and said deliberately, "Benson, you don't seem to have any guests!”

Benson Smith's face flushed red with embarrassment as he answered, "They just haven't arrived yet."

Samuel Smith let out a mocking laugh and said, "Our friends and relatives are all over at my birthday celebration, who else could you be expecting?"

Leah, who was still upset over her husband's dismissal from Diva Limited, said coldly, "Samuel if you're here to ridicule or scoff at us, you've already achieved your objective. If there's nothing else, please leave."

With a wry smile on his face, Samuel Smith replied, "Leah, that's not what I'm here for. I've already had enough of my fill of that, it's not something new."

"You!" Leah was quivering with anger as she pointed her finger at Samuel.

Samuel Smith turned to face his brother and said, "Benson, I'm here to discuss something with you. It will be to your advantage."

Feeling dubious, Benson Smith asked, "What is it?"

Samuel Smith replied, "Since there won't be anyone attending your birthday celebration today, it would be a waste to leave Peony Hall unutilized. I've already thought of a solution to it though. Why don't you let me have the hall instead? There aren't enough seats for all my guests at the Lotus Hall and it would be great if they could have their food here. I'll compensate you for the space, of course."

Benson Smith widened his eyes as he could not believe what he just heard, "Errr... Samuel, I don't think that's appropriate."

Miles let out a cold snort before saying, "Why isn't it appropriate? We're doing you a favor by helping you recoup some of the losses you would otherwise have to suffer for these empty tables you've booked..."
