Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 388

After Henry said that, four of his subordinates from Alberesque came forward and dragged Benson and Leah out of the door forcefully.

Another two subordinates took out two leather whips and held it in their hands.

The core of the leather whips was made of steel wire and were specially used for punishment. Usually, a strong man could bear up to ten lashes.

Nevertheless, it would take only five lashes to kill a weakling like Benson and Leah.

Their faces were as pale as a sheet. They were so appalled that they forgot to resist while being dragged outside.

Suddenly, Sean stepped forward and said, "Hold on, Mr. Smith.”

Henry lifted his hand and gestured his subordinates to stop, then he asked impassively, "Old Master, would you like to say something?"

Sean pleaded, "Benson and his wife are indeed at fault and deserve punishment. Penny and Nathan are heinous because they have hurt Mr. Smith's subordinates. But I hope that Mr. Smith can give them a chance to atone for their faults since we're a family."

Henry's eyes squinted. "How can they atone for their faults?”

Sean answered, "I'll call Penny here, so she can transfer half of the Cross Group's shares to the Smith Family. This will be her contribution to our family and the atonement for her family's faults. What do you think, Mr. Smith?"

Henry nodded in agreement. "Since Old Master has interceded on their behalf, I'll give Penny an opportunity to make amends for her family's faults. Please call and ask Penny to come over now. She and her family shall be spared if she's willing to give us half of the Cross Group's shares. Otherwise, I'll punish her as well."

Meanwhile, in the CEO office of Cross Group.

Penny was fast asleep at her desk when her phone rang.

Benson and Leah replied in a shaky voice, "Penn!"

Penny walked over, wanting to support her parents up, but the two men with leather whips stopped her.

Penny turned around, glared at Sean and asked indignantly, "Grandpa, what have my parents done to deserve such a brutal treatment?"

Henry said in a deep voice, "It's not your parents' fault, but yours. They're being punished for your sake."

Penny looked at Henry in bewilderment while Sean introduced the latter to her, "This is Henry Smith from Alberesque. You may call him Mr. Smith."

Penny greeted him before asking defiantly, "Mr. Smith, what have I done wrong? Why should my parents be punished too?”
