Salute To The General

Chapter 244 So You Are Nathan Cross

Nathan and Penny walked into the elaborately decorated party venue.

Under the spotlights, there was an exquisite champagne tower, and a live band playing some soothing

music.

Numerous well-dressed men and women were chatting to each other in small groups with wine glasses

in their hands.

Everyone was very curious as to who the eventual distributor of the liver cancer vaccine would be.

Ever since the news about Professor

Jenson's success in creating this vaccine spread, countless groups had contacted him.

Every single one of them had submitted their proposals to get the distributorship of this vaccine from

his hands.

Everyone had assumed that Professor Jenson would definitely take advantage of the situation, allowing

the bids to get higher and higher before finally selecting the highest bidder to become the

distributor.

However, no one had expected that he would have chosen such a commonplace Southern city as

Channing to hold a cocktail party and to make the announcement.

Most of the corporations did not see this coming, hence those in attendance tonight were mostly local

corporations, with fewer foreign companies.

Out of these local companies, there were more Southern companies than Northern companies.

Out of all the representatives of the Southern groups, the most outstanding of them all would have to

be Shannon Russo. Tonight, she was dressed in a winecolored cocktail dress and looked as luscious

as a blooming rose.

There were many other bosses and CEOs surrounding her eagerly that evening.

Penny had seen her from afar the moment she stepped into the venue, and she looked troubled

immediately.

Nathan noticed the change in her expression and asked her curiously, "Do you know her?”

Penny then replied in a low voice. "Yes, she is the daughter of the Russo family which is one of the

Southern Four. She is Shannon Russo, the CEO of Cathay Pharmaceuticals."

Three years ago, Penny attended a charity fundraising event on behalf of her family, and Shannon

Russo was there too.

That night, Shannon had donated eight million, and the other bosses purposely donated less than that

amount so they don't steal her limelight.

However, Penny was not savvy enough and donated ten million as per her grandfather's instructions.

Her unintentional action had immediately offended Shannon on the spot.

Shannon had already been jealous of Penny's beauty. Now that Penny had donated more money than

her, she saw it as a complete snub and a direct attempt to snatch the limelight away from her.

Hence, at the group photo session, Shannon refused to take a photo with Penny, and even requested

for the event organizer to throw Penny out of the venue.

Shannon was from the Russo family who wielded the largest influence in the South.

The organizer did not dare to offend her, and immediately sent Penny away.

That night, Penny was thrown out of the venue disheveled. Shannon had even jeered at her. "You are

just a worthless unwed mother. Who are you to fight with me in front of the media? Get lost!"

Nathan's eyes grew chilly as he heard about the past between Penny and Shannon.

At the same time, Shannon had also noticed Nathan and Penny's presence.

There was no way around it as Nathan was unbelievably handsome and Penny was drop dead

gorgeous.

When Shannon saw Nathan, a glint of hatred flashed through her eyes.

Giovanni Russo was her brother. Nathan Cross had murdered him and she would never forgive that

bitter feud against her family.

This was the difference between the Russos and the Zabinskis.

The Russos were more rational, and focused more on their financial benefits. New chąpter avаilable oո

To the Russos, revenge was not as important as getting the distributorship that will earn them big

bucks.

On the reverse, the Zabinskis felt that revenge was more important than making money.

However, Shannon could not help but speak coldly when she saw her brother's murderer. "So you are

Nathan Cross.”

At that very moment, all eyes fell on Nathan.
