Sean Smith laughed and said, "Ferlyn's boyfriend is really quite something to allow our family to come and watch this ceremony. That useless prick Nathan Cross actually boasted that he was able to bring Penny and the family to this ceremony. What a joke!"
Everyone in the Smith family began to praise Ferlyn.
Apart from praising Ferlyn's boyfriend, they also laughed at Penny's husband for being a boastful idiot.
Just when the whole family was laughing at Nathan and their family's inability to watch this ceremony, a commotion took place at the venue.
Following that, the Smiths and all the other people watched the convoy whilst in shock.
Even though there were only five cars in this parade, the cars were all of the same brand and color!
Who could it be?
Could it be the General of the North?
Everyone grew excited with that thought, and all eyes never left the convoy.
Very quickly, the fleet of cars stopped at the entrance.
The soldiers that were in charge of venue security and order stepped forward to check the identities of the people in the car.
After they finished checking their identities, a family alighted from the car.
It was Nathan, Penny, Queenie, Benson, Leah, and Kylie!
Everyone stared at them in shock and began muttering, "This shouldn't be the General of the North. They look too ordinary."
In their minds, the General of the North should look very authoritative, handsomely clad in his army uniform, or at least, in a black suit.
He would definitely not be in everyday casual clothes and definitely not arrive with a family in tow.
Hence, everyone was certain that this was not the General.
At one end, Sean Smith and the rest gaped at the sight of Nathan and the family.
