Salute To The General

Chapter 426 Laughing at Penny

The next day, Ferlyn called Penny to apologize for her actions from the day before.

The latter replied awkwardly, "Nathan wasn't exactly right either. I've talked to him about his actions."

Then, Ferlyn jumped on the opportunity. "It's my birthday today. I'm planning to hold a mini party at

Channing Hotel tonight and invite my friends. Why don't you and Nathan come along too?"

Penny was slightly hesitant. "I'm not sure if he's available."

"Why? It's not like he has to work at night. Or are you both still mad at me? Is that why you don't want

to attend my birthday party?"

"No, that's not it at all," Penny hurriedly replied. "Okay then, I'll tell Nathan about your party. We'll be

there."

"Great! I'll see you both then."

Ferlyn hung up and made an OK gesture at Theodore, who was standing nearby. "She's agreed to

come!" she sneered.

Theodore squinted. "Excellent!"

Night fell and the city lit up.

The second floor of Channing Hotel had been turned into a birthday setting.

An array of delicious food filled the buffet tables and there were champagne towers.

Hundreds of young, well-dressed men and women stood in groups of two or three, holding their

champagne glasses while chatting away. There was a pleasant piano track playing in the background.

At that very moment, Nathan and Penny walked in.

The man was handsome and well-built, whereas the woman was slender and gorgeous.

They caught everyone's attention upon entry.

Cross Group was a dark horse, booming rapidly in Channing's world of commerce.

Because of that, Penny shot to fame and was known as the goddess of Channing's business world.

All the men and women went over to greet her, causing Ferlyn, who was dressed in a sexy off-shoulder

gown, to become filled with jealousy.

Ferlyn had been pampered by her elders since young and often pitted against Penny.

She would wreck whatever the latter liked. Penny always ended up crying in exasperation because of

this.

Tonight, Ferlyn was about to steal Penny's man!

She discreetly adjusted her dress to expose more of her bosom.

Then she walked over to Nathan and Penny with Theodore.

"Nathan and Penny! You're finally here," she exclaimed, pretending to sound excited.

"Sorry, we're late. There was a bit of traffic. This is for you," Penny replied, handing Ferlyn a gift.

The latter took the gift and faked a smile. "Thanks, Penny!"

Theodore smiled too. "Don't just stand there, now—let's sit down and have a chat!"

Very quickly, the four of them, along with a few of Ferlyn's high-status close friends, sat down and

engaged in conversation.

They chatted away happily while enjoying their dessert and champagne.

Penny didn't wear any makeup tonight, nor was she dressed glamorously.

She figured that since today was Ferlyn's birthday, it was best to let the birthday girl shine. Penny didn't

want to steal her spotlight. Coոtent of Drąmanovеls.com

That was why she came in her everyday clothes and chose not to doll herself up.

"Oh, I'm just used to not wearing makeup on regular days," Penny said rather sheepishly.

"That's not necessarily true!" Ferlyn immediately argued, “What kind of man doesn't like pretty women?

Who would ever like a haggard housewife?"
