Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 224

Sylvie's taunts and the curious look from the crowd got to Penny and she was so embarrassed she couldn't even raise her head.

She wanted so much to rip the necklace off her neck then hide in a hole where no one would find her.

But right then, Nathan, who was standing beside her, spoke up. "Huh,” he snorted coldly. "I've seen dogs trying to pass themselves off as wolves. But this is the first time I've seen one as hubristic as Ms. Larson."

Everyone was shocked and turned their eyes on Sylvie.

Panic flashed through her eyes, but she held her ground. "What are you saying? Do you know who I am," she asked as she was agitated.

"I am the CEO of Hay Corp, the daughter of the Larson family. Why on earth would I be wearing an imitation?"

She turned to sneer at Penny once again. "On the other hand, do you think a hussy like your wife deserves to wear an exquisite necklace like 'Evermore'?"

Sylvie had just finished speaking when Nathan raised his hand and smacked her soundly across the face.

Sylvie's face swelled up instantaneously and even her neatly styled hair became disheveled.

She held her throbbing face and shrieked in disbelief. "How dare you hit me?"

"Aren't you just asking for it with that disgusting mouth yours?”

Sylvie recovered from the shock and yelled angrily, "Bodyguards! Where are my bodyguards? Get him! Finish him off!"

Sean and the rest of the Smiths quickly grabbed onto the bodyguards to stop them.

Sean tried to calm Sylvie down while also frantically demanding Nathan to apologize. "How dare you raise your hand on her? Apologize to Ms. Larson right now and ask for her forgiveness."

Penny, Benson, and Leah all looked anxiously at Nathan and whispered. "Just let it go. Don't argue with her. Don't take her seriously."

When Sylvie saw that Penny and the rest were trying to persuade Nathan to not accept her challenge, she was even more convinced that the necklace around Penny's neck was fake. Then, she

chuckled, "What? You're chickening out because you know your necklace is fake?"

The corners of Nathan's lips twitched up into a smile. "Sylvie Larson. I've never met anyone who loves digging their own graves as much as you."

"I agree to your terms. If my wife's necklace is fake, I'll get on my knees and apologize to you."

"On the contrary, if hers is real, then you'll apologize to her. I won't need you to kneel down before me. Just go on the Channing TV channel and make a public announcement to apologize for all the slander you've hurled my wife over the years. I'm sure that won't be a problem?"
