Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 2100

Unfortunately, Clifford didn't take it that way.

It seemed to him that Garrett was showing partiality for Nathan.

Feeling displeased, Clifford raised his voice as he retorted, “President Woods, it is not me who is going too far, but Nathan.

“My children all died because of him. Not only that, my ex-wife's family came down in the world after Nathan forced them to relinquish power.
