Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2094

A myriad of expressions spanned the guests' faces.

They knew Scout was forcing them to take a side, making it clear that they would become the Danviers' enemy if they chose to support Nathan.

Meanwhile, Scout, who thought they would eagerly support him, was displeased with their hesitation. It looks like I need to put some pressure on them.

He cast his gaze over the crowd and soon fixed his eyes on a gentleman.

That young man was Austin Windsor, a member of the Windsor family. He was the previous President, Hansel's nephew.

Since Hansel and Camilla lost their son in an accident, they had discussed with the Windsor family members to adopt Austin. That way, Austin could arrange their funeral in his capacity as their son when they passed away.

When the Windsors received the banquet invitation, the elders decided not to attend it since they knew about the conflict between the Davier family and Nathan. Instead, they sent Austin to show his face at the banquet as the Windsors' representative.

Scout was aware that Hansel was Nathan's mentor and that the Windsor family had a close relationship with Nathan.

With a cold smile, Scout spoke up, “I see all of you are still hesitating. Why don't we pick someone out to take the lead?”

Staring at Austin, he said, “Let's start from the

Windsor family. Austin Windsor, is your family going to support Nathan or me?”

At that instant, Austin became the center of attention.

Beads of sweat soon covered his forehead.

Although both the Windsor family and the Davier family were old-money families, they didn't develop a close relationship.

In contrast, Nathan was Hansel's favorite student. To the Windsors, Nathan was like their family.

Of course, the Windsors were more willing to support Nathan.

Yet they couldn't openly admit it.

Since Hansel retired, the Windsor family had lost much of its power and influence.

The Davier family, on the other hand, was on the crest of a wave at present with Clifford holding the position as the Cabinet secretary.

Thus, the Windsor family could no longer compete with the Davier family.

Austin knew well that if he took Nathan's side, Scout would treat him as his enemy. The latter might even humiliate him on the spot.

Feeling agitated, he started sweating profusely. What should I do now?

Scout was growing impatient. He raised his voice and prodded Austin for an answer, “Austin Windsor, answer me! Will the Windsor family support Nathan Cross or me?”

Having no choice, Austin made an excuse, ’’This

is a decision too important for me to make. Mr. Davier, I need to ask for the opinion of the elders before I can revert to you.”

Bang!
