Salute To The General

Chapter 286 Everything Will Go According To Plan

May was quite fearful of Nathan Cross, especially after knowing how he chopped off Jerry Zabinski's

manhood at the Smith family's mansion previously.

After she thought of the scene, the woman agreed to Sean Smith's proposition immediately. "Grandpa,

please do whatever you feel fit. We'll leave the decision to you."

Sean Smith was satisfied with May's reply so he said, "Then, do as I have suggested. Let's present this

necklace to Ms. Shannon as a gift from the Smith family. And as compensation, I will give the Rolls-

Royce Phantom to you and Miles. It may be a big break for our family if we're able to gain the favor of

the Russo family."

Samuel, Paul, Miles and May were all smiling ear to ear at the elder Mr Smith's words. They had

already started imagining making a killing out of the business dealings the family could have with the

Russo family.

While everyone were still in a good mood thinking about their bright futures ahead, the phone rang.

It was Leah who called. The purpose of her call was to ask May to return the necklace. She was willing

to offer twice the amount of money to buy it back.

Holding the receiver in her hand, May let out a cold laugh and said to Leah, "Leah, if you're intending to

buy it back for twice the amount, then pay me two hundred million and I'll give it back to you."

Leah was like a cat on a hot tin roof and replied, "May, you only paid five thousand for the necklace.

How could twice that amount be two hundred million?"

May snorted and said, "That's the price that you sold to me. This necklace is valued at one hundred

million, so if I am selling it, twice the amount would obviously be two hundred million! It's either you pay

me that amount if you want it back, or stop calling to disturb us, dumbass."

Leah was so angry that tears streamed down her cheeks. Not only was she cheated, but she had also

been called a 'dumbass'!

Nathan Cross and the rest of the family were beside her when she made the call.

Everyone could roughly make out the arrogant tone and words May said over the phone, and they were

all seething with anger.

Nathan snatched the receiver from Leah and said coldly, "I'll give you 24 hours to return my mom's red

ruby necklace. Otherwise, get ready to bear the consequences.”

When May heard Nathan's voice, she immediately passed the phone to Sean Smith, who sneered and

said, "Young man, who are you trying to scare?"

Sean Smith ended the call immediately after saying that, and the brief phone conversation ended on an

unhappy note.

In the evening the next day, the sky was aglow with bright city lights as the sun was setting.

The second floor of the Channing Hotel had already been prepared and decorated as the venue of the

cocktail party, which was going to be held later that night.

It turned out that she had received words from Dip Turner that he had decided to spare Nathan Cross's

life.

Shannon Russo could not understand why Mr. Turner, who was all for killing Nathan Cross, had

suddenly changed his mind.

Leo, who was standing next to her and dressed in a black suit and he had a sharp glint in his eyes. He

said, "Word has it that Mr. Turner owed Howard Ortiz a favor, and Howard Ortiz had used it on Nathan

Cross. He had requested for Mr. Turner to let Nathan Cross off, and Mr. Turner had agreed to it."

A look of realization spread across Shannon Russo's face as she exclaimed, "I see! So this is why!"
