Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 998

Just when Peyton thought it must be a powerful man who had the audacity to cripple Cicero's son, he soon realized Nathan was just an ordinary businessman from the South.

He squinted. "Don't worry, Mr. Cicero. I'll get people to make the necessary arrangement.”

He then hung up the phone.

Peyton carefully deployed his men to investigate Nathan's identity.

In just a short while, his underling handed the profile to him.

It showed that Nathan Cross was a soldier from the North. He used to be a platoon leader, but he left the troop almost a year ago.

Nathan's wife, Penny Smith, was an emerging star in the business world. She was the Chairman and the CEO of Cross Group with a net worth of hundreds of billions.

Peyton was already in his sixties, and his wife had passed away many years ago.

He looked at Penny's photo and thought she looked exceptionally gorgeous. Moreover, she had control over Cross Group.

The corners of his mouth quirked up. "At the beginning of the year, a fortune-teller told me this year would be a disastrous year for me, and I'll need to marry a wife to resolve this problem. Penny Smith looks like a good fit for the role. She has a lot of assets under her name, too. I'll be able to turn things around if marry her."

Peyton's godson, Victor Black, grinned and tried to please him. "You might be in your sixties, but you're still strong and healthy. You definitely deserve to marry a pretty woman like Penny Smith.”

Peyton looked at Penny's photo and fell more and more in love with her.

The look of lust was all in the face, but he pulled a serious look and said, "Too bad, Penny already has a husband named

Nathan Cross. She'll hate me for helping Mr. Cicero kill him and remain a widow instead of marrying me!"

Victor Black said with a grin, "Don't worry about it. I'll help you get rid of Nathan Cross and arrange your marriage with Penny Smith. You don't have to worry about anything. Just wait for the right time to marry Penny and enjoy your first night with her!"

A smile crept across Peyton's wrinkled face. "Alright! Make a trip to Channing now and settle this for me. I'll reward you handsomely when you returned!"

At the Smith's family residence in Channing, Sean, Samuel, Paul, and the rest were taken aback by all the presents in the living hall.

Just ten minutes ago, someone came and dropped these dowries in their residence.
