Salute To The General

Chapter 293 Both A Flash In The Pan And A False Alarm

With the firing of a gunshot, Shannon Russo collapsed on the ground, ending her short life that was

filled with sins.

"As for the other accomplices, send them to the military prison and make them reform through labor,"

Franklin Wilson ordered.

"Yes, Sir!"

As always, bad news traveled fast.

Very quickly, news about Shannon Russo's death had spread around the city.

Everyone had a different version of stories about what had happened.

One of the more widely circulated versions of the story was that the former wealthiest man of

Channing, Howard Ortiz, had asked Mr. Turner for a favor to spare Nathan Cross's life, which Mr.

Turner had acceded to. However Shannon Russo had gone against Mr. Turner and insisted on killing

Nathan Cross, and that angered Mr. Turner. There were serious consequences to bear for provoking

Mr. Turner. In order to punish Shannon Russo, Mr. Turner had sought out Franklin Wilson to take the

woman's life. That also served as a warning for the rest of the people to never be on Mr. Turner's bad

side.

Meanwhile, at the Smith family mansion, Sean Smith and the rest of his family members were also

engaged in a discussion on this topic.

"Well, so it turned out that this matter has nothing to do with that a*shole Nathan Cross at all! We

should have known very well that there's no way that d*ckhead could be so formidable," Samuel Smith

couldn't stop grumbling and cursing.

"Exactly! If it wasn't for Howard Ortiz, who used up the favor which Mr. Turner owed him for Nathan

Cross; that fella would already be lying in his grave now," Paul agreed with his eldest brother.

Sean Smith let out a cold snort and said, "It was silly of us to have thought so highly of Nathan Cross.

As it turned out, it was sheer luck that he managed to survive this time around. But it's a pity that we

lost the red ruby necklace. If only we had known earlier that Shannon Russo would come to such a

tragic end, we shouldn't have given such a treasure to her."

May nodded and said, "That's right. We didn't even manage to gain any benefits at all. It was such a

flash in the pan. However, it was also a false alarm for us regarding Nathan.”

At the same time, at the Riverside Garden, Benson Smith and Leah were admiring the red ruby

necklace which they had lost and recovered. They were both full of praises for their son-in-law for

keeping his word and getting the necklace back.

Penny Smith, who had just ended a phone call, walked over and said to her family, "Many of our friends

have called to ask about our safety, and I've gotten some updates from them."

Nathan blinked and asked, "What updates?"

"They said that Shannon Russo had upset Mr. Turner, and that had engaged Mr.

Wilson too. So, she brought on the punishment imposed on herself," Penny elaborated.

Penny, Benson, and Leah were all in awe of Mr. Turner's impartiality and had equated him with the God

of Justice.

The corners of Nathan's mouth curled up into a slight smile as he listened to his family's conversation

quietly without disrupting.

The next day was a weekend and Queenie had a chess class at the local chess club.

After dropping their daughter off, Penny and Nathan went shopping. As Penny had been rather busy

recently, it had been a while since they got to spend time together.

The husband and wife arrived at the Sky River Shopping Mall and were exploring the shops one level

at a time.

The third floor of the shopping mall was entirely occupied by gyms and fitness centers. Penny had

never enrolled in proper fitness classes before. As a form of exercise, she had been practicing yoga on

her own at home.

Recently, while she was scrolling through social media, she had seen videos on TikTok of gorgeous

women doing targeted training in gyms and they looked really fit.

Penny wanted to check out the gyms and observe how the people do exercises. She wished to find out

if working out at the gym was enough to keep a good figure.

However, Nathan Cross had noticed that those personal trainers were only attending to the women.

Moreover, those male trainers were obviously having their ways with them.

But the female trainees did not seem to have realized. Either that or they just did not mind.

There was no way Nathan Cross would allow his wife to enroll in a gym like that.
