CHAPTER 679 BROTHER FROM THE SAME FATHER
Penny smiled awkwardly, "Of course | want to. But there are a lot of prominent figures exerting their influence in Northania, so it's really hard for us to establish ourselves when we don't have solid footing there."
Jared latched onto that opportunity and suggested, "| know a wealthy and powerful man from Northania, and if you're willing to be his business partner, | guarantee that the Cross Group's product can make their entrance into Northania without any hassle."
Penny exclaimed, "Really?" Jared nodded. "Really. To express my sincerity, I'm willing to introduce you to him. Are you willing to meet up with him?" Penny nodded. "Of course | am. When should we meet?”
Jared grinned. "Today, because incidentally, he arrived at Channing recently. Is it alright if | arranged your meeting to be at three p.m. in the Prince hotel?"
Penny hesitated for a little while before agreeing.
Asmug look flashed across Jared's face once Penny agreed. Soon, he stood up and bid his farewell. Not long after Jared left, Nathan brought some of Penny's favorite desserts to her.
He smiled. 'Td passed by Blissful Promises Confectionery just now, so I'd bought some tarts for you.”
Penny stared at him quizzically before saying, "We don't usually pass by Blissful Promises Confectionery when we go to work. You probably went there just to buy this for me, right?”
Nathan smiled in response.
Penny felt a warmth surging in her heart. Nathan has always shown me his love in subtle ways. He's never clamored for credit or bragged about it as well.
She finished her snacks joyfully and told Nathan about Jared.
Nathan grinned. "We'd caused a few dozens of Jared's shops to shut down, and now he's apologizing to us and introducing a powerful business partner just for us to expand our business to Northania? Do you think he's that kind?”
Penny gaped in surprise as her eyes wavered uncertainly. "Do you think he's trying to scam us somehow? If so, I'll just cancel tomorrow's meeting!"
Nathan grinned and explained, "Since you've already agreed to meet him, it wouldn't be appropriate if you'd just canceled the meeting abruptly. Maybe I'm wrong and Jared really is sincere in his apology and he really wants us to introduce a business partner to us! How about | go with you to the meeting later? That way we can be sure that they're not trying to trick us."
Penny smiled sweetly. "Alright. I'll feel much safer if you're with me.” In the afternoon, Nathan brought only one subordinate, Colin, with him as he arrived at the Prince hotel with Penny. The entire restaurant in the Prince hotel was booked by Gladius.
He wore a black tuxedo and was dressed very elegantly. Centaur and Minotaur stood right behind him, and a few dozen expressionless men stood further back.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Penny was shocked when she saw Gladius because he looked somewhat similar to Nathan. Gladius looked more cold and menacing, while Nathan looked more grounded and reserved.
Penny asked in puzzlement, "Are you the one from Northania, Gladius Cross, that Mr. Ocean had mentioned?"
A hint of admiration flashed before Gladius’ face when he saw P: - and he stretched out @\fan S tbyerad hb for a handshake. "That's right. I'm Gladius Cross. Nice to meet you, Ms. Smith!" Please read the original content at .
Penny did not shake his hand. Instead, she explained, "Please excuse me. My husband doesn't like it when | shake other men's hands..."
At that moment, Gladius’ smile contorted to a cold smi oe red.at nthe He oni ed kingly, "Haha. Long time no see, Nathan!" Please read the original content at .
Penny gaped in surprise. "You two know each other?”
Gladius announced smugly, "Of course. Nathan and | are brothers from the same father! He wa
adored s r.of phesordss Parti while Wels #h bx***** so my status back then was nowhere near his. However, it turned out that he got kicked out of the Cross Family like a dog being chased out by its master!" Please read the original content at .
Gladius then mocked Nathan haughtily, "Now, the tables have turned. I'm the favored son of the Cross Family while you're just a nobody!"
Nathan exchanged a glance with Colin, who stood beside him when they saw how superior Gladius was and they smiled. Nathan chuckled. "I'm afraid that you'll be
disappointed. I'm still the one you need to look up to!”
