As Peter Russo's face suddenly turned red, he began to sweat too.
Even though he only had some tea, Peter felt very uncomfortable, as if he had some hard liquor instead.
He immediately knelt and said with a trembling voice, "Mr. Cross, I didn't..."
However, Nathan replied composedly, "You still have the nerve to say you didn't do it!"
Since Peter was petrified, he lay on the ground and begged in his trembling voice, "I... I'm sorry.”
Nathan sneered, "Did you receive any benefits from him?"
Peter told him everything, "No, I didn't. But he did buy me a drink once."
After a while, Nathan said, "Lucky you. Do you know what you should do next?"
As soon as Nathan finished, Peter replied right away, "I'll call Kayden Cook right away and demand him to repay the debt. Even if he can't repay all of the money at once, I'll make sure that he pays in installment."
However, Nathan said coldly, "Do you think I'm begging him for the money?"
Peter was startled and stared at Nathan blankly.
At this moment, Russell glanced at Peter and lowered his voice as he spoke, "What you mentioned was the normal procedure. But who do you think Mr. Cross is? How can you deal with Kayden Cook with your usual method, given that he is so arrogant? You must make sure that he repays the money today and begs Mr. Cross to accept it.”
Then Nathan said blandly, "Besides, he beat my dad. I want him to come to my office in person and kneel before my dad. Can you do it?"
As Peter felt that he was being put in a difficult position, he replied hesitantly, "Well..."
Since Peter couldn't give him an answer,
Nathan said, "You don't have to do it if you think it's difficult!”
Peter was aghast and worried that he would lose his job as the attorney general if he refused to do it.
Thus, he nervously said, "It's not difficult at all. I'll make sure that Kayden Cook repays the money and begs Cross Group to accept it. Besides, I want him to come to Cross Group in person and apologize to Mr. Smith."
Once he made the promise, Nathan glanced at Russell. "You heard what he said. If he fails, he doesn't have to come to this restaurant anymore. Send him to the Department of Justice to get a cup of tea instead."
"Understood!" Russel immediately answered.
At this moment, Peter was startled once again. I must accomplish it, or else I'll come to a sticky end!
Kayden came back to the mansion of the
Cook family in his Mercedes-Benz.
