Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 299

In the meantime, a grand reception was being held at the Channing University to show appreciation for the funds raised from the charity auction.

Zac Zimmerman, Principal of Channing University, Francis Talbot, Mayor of Channing City, Louis Busch, Director of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Jude Hay, President of the Channing Charity Foundation, had all graced the ceremony.

Nathan, Penny, as well as the staff members, teaching faculty, and students of the university were at the ceremony too.

The one hundred million donated by Nathan Cross was also used to set up a scholarship fund for the high-achieving students apart from the construction of the new research facility.

Jude Hay was extremely upset at the attention which everyone was showering on Nathan and Penny.

Before he could even see the money, the one hundred million donated by Nathan

Cross was already presented to the Channing University.

Moreover, the Director of the Securities and Exchange Commission had already proposed that he would be auditing the fund for the scholarship regularly. Anyone who dared to use that money for any other purposes would have to face severe legal consequences.

It was already noon when the reception ended.

Nathan Cross headed to the chess club to pick their daughter up, whereas Penny Smith drove herself to work.

When Penny passed by Sycamore Avenue, a van swerved into the woman's path suddenly and brushed against her car.

Penny immediately parked her car by the side of the road and was about to negotiate compensation matters with the driver of the van.

However, around five or six hooligans emerged from the van and surrounded her in an aggressive manner.

Judging by the unfavorable situation, Penny decided that she should give Nathan a call to seek help, so she took out her phone.

However, before the call could get through, one of the hooligans who had dyed his hair yellow, snatched the phone away from Penny and slammed it on the ground, shattering it.

The yellow-haired guy pointed at Penny and scolded her fiercely, "Bitch, is it a big deal that you're driving a BMW? Is that how you drive?”

Before Penny could reply, the man had already started throwing kicks and punches at the hooligans.

Penny Smith was astonished. Despite being outnumbered, Joseph Queen had managed to defeat the hooligans singlehandedly and they had scurried away and escaped in their van.

Joseph Queen walked over to Penny Smith again and said with a smile, "Babe, are you alright?"

Penny Smith was filled with gratitude for the man and she replied, "I'm fine. Thank you so much for your help." "My name is Joseph Queen. How may I address you?" Joseph Queen introduced himself, keeping the charming smile on his face.

Penny answered, "I'm Penny Smith and I'm so lucky to have your help. I really can't imagine what would have happened if you were not here."

Joseph Queen said with a chuckle, "I guess people call this fate? You met with an accident and I just happened to pass by the same spot. Isn't this divinely guided? Since we're destined to meet each other, can I have the honor of treating Ms. Smith to a cup of coffee?"

Penny Smith was just about to reply, when a BMW 5 Series sped towards her, and pulled up right next to her.

Nathan, who was carrying Queenie in his arms, got out of the car.
