Salute To The General

Chapter 299 My Name Is Joseph Queen

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?”

Penny started to panic and replied, "I was going straight, and you guys were turning into the lane. By

right, you should have reduced your speed before turning in. There was no way I could have reacted in

time to prevent this accident. It's your mistake, how can you blame it on me instead?"

The yellow-haired guy and his gang of friends were enraged and yelled, "Not only can we blame it on

you, but we can also hit you. Do you want that?"

Penny Smith was almost freaking out and was getting increasingly worried. She was already preparing

for the worst, as it was hopeless to have any proper communication with this bunch of unreasonable

hooligans.

Just as the hooligans were about to attack Penny, a black Mercedes-Benz suddenly stopped next to

them, and a man got out of the car. He was very well-groomed and had a unique boyish allure.

It was Joseph Queen!

After Joseph Queen got off the car, he winked discreetly at the hooligans, before reprimanding them in

a righteous tone, "Stop now! Shame on you guys for bullying a lady under broad daylight. Apologize to

her immediately! Otherwise, I won't let you guys off."

The yellow-haired guy shot Joseph Queen an understanding look, before cursing him and charging

towards him.

When Penny Smith saw that things were becoming worse, she said to Joseph at once, "Sir, these

people are not to be trifled with, you should leave immediately."

Joseph Queen gave Penny a comforting smile and replied, "Babe, don't be scared. No one would be

able to hurt you with me around."

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.
