Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 849

By the time Nathan had returned to the city area, it was already two in the afternoon.

Nathan Cross dismissed Colin Dunne and the rest before he drove to The Orient.

He was going to take away the crystal shrimp dumpling at this place. It was Penny's favorite.

Unfortunately, when he reached the entrance of the restaurant, he realized that the entire restaurant was booked.

On the door, there was a notice which read, "Jedediah Zinke's Sixtieth Birthday Banquet!"

Jedediah Zinke?

Nathan Cross was surprised when he saw that name. His class mentor back in high school went by that name.

Nonetheless, he was pretty sure the high school he attended was in Cledondale of Northania.

And his mentor was teaching at the First

High School of Cledondale.

Could it be a mere coincidence?

As Nathan Cross was still deep in his thoughts, a pretty woman clad in a Chanel dress looked at Nathan and gasped, "Aren't you Nathan Cross?"

Nathan was equally as surprised to see the girl, clad in Chanel, "Jarelle!”

Jarelle Zinke was Jedediah Zinke's only daughter.

Jarelle Zinke sized Nathan up, in the bat of an eye and laughed, "You're here for my dad's birthday celebration right? Why are you still pacing at the doorsteps?"

"Is it because you haven't been doing well lately and are too embarrassed to talk to my dad?"

Nathan Cross looked at Jarelle who seemed like she held a silent grudge against him. He thought of the time when he was chased out of the Cross family with his mother. Back when they had nowhere to go, Jedediah was the one to take them under his roof.

While Nathan and his mother were staying at the Zinke household, Jarelle had confessed her love to Nathan.

However, Nathan had rejected her back then.

Nathan had rejected Jarelle's confession immediately, which had embarrassed her a great deal. Since then, she had always held a bad opinion of Nathan, as she felt that Nathan did not know how to appreciate her.

From then onwards, she had purposely tried to make life difficult, for Nathan and his mother. She told everyone that Nathan and his mother were beggars who were reluctant to move out of her house and that they shamelessly feeding on their household's fortune.

Jarelle took a closer look at Nathan and noticed that he was not wearing anything out of the ordinary. Therefore, she concluded that he had not been doing well in life.

She had not forgotten at all, about how Nathan had rejected her back then.

Thus, she deliberately asked him, "Nathan, where do you work now?”

Nathan laughed and answered, "I have just gotten discharged from the military. I'm practically unemployed now."

Nathan was holding the position of chief advisor at Cross Group, but he rarely clocked in at the office, which made him felt that he was holding the position for nothing.

Jarelle uttered with disdain, "Oh, so you're busy being a jobless nobody now!"

Nathan sensed the mockery in Jarelle's tone but he was not intimidated by her at all. He replied calmly, "Well, I guess you could say so."

Jarelle could not hold in her urge to disparage Nathan anymore. She sneered, "Hah. You're still a useless chap after such a long while!"

"Do you regret rejecting my confession when I went out of my way to confess my love to you back then?"
