Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 142

At 10 p.m., Nathan Cross, Penny Smith and their daughter were preparing to go to bed.

Suddenly, Penny Smith received a call from her grandfather.

"Penny Smith! You're so cruel! I sent your uncle over to talk things out with you, and you kidnapped him?" Sean Smith yelled into the phone.

Penny Smith was shocked. "No, Grandpa, I didn't!"

"You didn't? Your uncle got kidnapped on the way to your house, so it definitely has something to do with you and Nathan Cross!"

"If your uncle doesn't get home safely by tomorrow morning, I'll bring the whole family to kneel at your doorstep and tell the whole of Channing how cruel your family is!”

Penny Smith began to panic. "Grandpa, this really has nothing to do with us, we won't kidnap Uncle no matter what..."

However, Sean Smith was not convinced.

He hung up on her before she could even finish her sentence.

Nathan Cross frowned and asked her about what happened.

Penny Smith told him before frowning deeply. "Uncle was kidnapped by someone, and Grandpa thinks we did it."

"He even said that he will bring the whole family to kneel before our door and get the whole of Channing to turn against us if we don't send Uncle back by dawn tomorrow."

"What should we do, Nathan?”

Nathan Cross looked at his agitated wife. "Don't panic. You should get some rest with Queenie. I'll handle it."

He took out his phone and walked over to the balcony to give Colin Dunne a call. "Samuel Smith got kidnapped and the Smiths think I did it. Can you find out what happened?"

If Samuel Smith died and Sean Smith got the whole family to kneel before their doorstep, they would definitely become the target of malicious gossip for the Channing residents.

"My wife will get involved if something goes wrong here. I'll go and check it out myself," he said.

Nathan Cross hung up and walked back from the balcony to take his coat. "Your uncle was taken to an abandoned building. I'll go over and take a look. You should sleep."

Penny Smith began to worry for his safety.

She knew that Nathan Cross was not an ordinary person, but she couldn't help but feel uneasy about it. "Let me go with you," she said.

Nathan Cross declined her request, saying that it would be too dangerous.

Penny Smith insisted. "He's my uncle, so let me go with you. If I stay at home, I'll be nothing but a panicking mess anyway."
