Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 874

Kylie and the other employees of Cross Group could tell that Edric was indirectly bragging.

They exchanged glances and thought to themselves, This man probably isn't aware that Penny is the CEO and the second-largest shareholder of Cross Group.

Penny's net worth was already exceeding twenty billion!

Yet, Edric had dared to flaunt his achievements before President Smith.

However, Penny remained unbothered. Smiling, she pulled Nathan over and introduced him to Edric, "Edric, this is my husband, Nathan Cross."

"Nathan, this is a distant relative of mine, who is also my cousin."

Nathan stretched his hand out to Edric with a smile. "Nice to meet you."

When Edric heard that Penny was married and that Nathan was her husband, his delighted expression froze, upon his face.

He glanced at Nathan in surprise. "So... He's your husband! What's his job?"

Penny explained, "He's just returned from the army..."

Before Penny could finish her sentence, Edric interrupted her disdainfully, "So, he's just a poor soldier!"

Edric refused to shake Nathan's hand, but Nathan was rather unbothered about it. However, when Edric mocked him, saying that he was a poor soldier, he could not help but frown.

When Edric noticed Nathan's slight change in expression, he remained unbothered.

A poor soldier was nothing to him!

Shooting Penny a pitiful look, he chided condescendingly, "Penny, you could've married anyone else, other than him. Why have you married a poor soldier like him?"

"People like him can only work as a security guard at most, earning a maximum of a few thousand, a month."

"What's the use of having such a meager income? It's not even enough to pay for my Mercedes' monthly gas fees."

"A poor man like him doesn't deserve you!"
