Shannon Russo was flabbergasted at the unexpected situation.
Everyone present was shocked by what was going on.
Shannon Russo stared at Franklin Wilson in disbelief and said, "Mr. Wilson, you..."
Before the woman could finish her sentence, Franklin Wilson had already stepped forward and snatched the revolver away from her hand apathetically.
After passing the revolver to one of the National Guards who was standing next to him, the Major-General took the jewelry box that contained the red ruby necklace from his wife, and walked swiftly towards Nathan Cross.
Holding the box with both hands over his head, Franklin Wilson said to Nathan Cross respectfully, "Mr. Cross, I shall now return this necklace which rightfully belongs to your mother-in-law. Please accept it!”
What the h**l is going on???
Shannon Russo and all the other people were stunned by the man's actions.
Of course, Penny Smith, Sean Smith, as well as the other members of the Smith family were shocked beyond words.
They could never imagine that what Nathan bragged about earlier had really come true!
Franklin Wilson had indeed willingly handed over the red ruby necklace to Nathan Cross.
Most of the guests had their mouths dropped open and had bewildered looks on their faces. Other than the Smith family, the rest of the guests did not know the origin of the precious necklace, but they were shocked at the Major-General's deferential attitude towards Nathan Cross.
After all, Franklin Wilson was from the North Army before he was transferred to the South two years ago.
It was a common understanding that, apart from strength and abilities, those who were from the North Army had a reputation for their arrogance and pomposity.
Although Franklin Wilson was very capable, he was also very haughty.
It was unusual to see him treating someone in such a polite and respectful manner.
As such, everyone was making a wild guess about Nathan Cross's identity.
