After Brennan left, Nathan smiled bitterly, “Honey, why did you prevent me from going at Mr. Pride and Prejudice? If you hadn't stopped me, I would have broken both his legs.”
Penny shot Nathan an exasperated glance and said with worry in her voice, “You are no longer the commander-in-chief of the North. This is not how it used to be. Besides, the Davier family is still waiting to exact revenge. You should not break any law and give them the excuse to bring you down. As far as I know, Brennan is the son of Godbert Lancaster, the chairman of Quantum Source Group. Touching Brennan is akin to stirring the hornet's nest. Things will get out of hand.”
Kylie interjected, “Penny, the Quantum Source Group of Ariarica is moving forward very aggressively. First, their representative in Asia came to you to talk about the acquisition, and now their vice president Brennan Lancaster has come in person. Furthermore, Brennan looks so certain of taking over our company. What should we do?”
Penny sighed and said, “We can only take one step at a time. Our Cross Group has only recently emerged on the world's stage but the Quantum Source Group is the world's leader in the pharmaceutical industry. It is backed by countless world-class consortia and even the Ariarica military and politicians. Since we reject their acquisition, they will definitely make things difficult for us in the market. It is inevitable that we would suffer some serious losses. That is to be expected. We can only hope that Eurasia can protect us local enterprises and not let us be oppressed by foreign enterprises.”
As Penny uttered these words, her eyes were full of worry.
Originally, leaders from all walks of life supported the Cross Group. After all, Nathan was the Commander-In-Chief of the North Army previously. In addition, the Cross Group was able to create job opportunities and generate huge tax revenue.
Unfortunately, things changed after Nathan offended Mr. Davier.
Nathan was removed stripped of the post of Commander-in-chief of the Northern Army and all the leaders kept their distance from the Cross Group.
The leaders were all anxious to please Mr. Davier. Even so, they were kind enough not to have done anything harmful to her and Nathan. But it would be too much to ask for them to stand up and defend Cross Group.
Nathan smiled and said, “Don't worry, Mr. Pride and Prejudice gave us twenty-four hours to sell our company to him but I will make him grovel on his knees and admit his mistake within twenty-four hours.”
Upon hearing his words, Penny, Kylie, Benson, and Leah were stunned into silence.
