Chapter 790 I Accept Your Apology

Everybody was astounded at Nathan's words.

Charlus' eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. "What? That's outrageous!"

"Jade Hotel is worth five billion, yet you sold it to Zayn at ten billion. He did not say that your price was outrageous then. If you find this amount unacceptable then forget it. We'll just see each other in court and let the judge decide how much you must pay," Nathan replied casually.

Charlus' face turned red before paling. owns all content.

If they ended up in court, there was no doubt that his criminal actions would be brought up.

Gritting his teeth, he bit out, "Fine! Ten billion it is!"

All around them, the Smiths, the staff, and even some nosy guests sucked in a breath in surprise.

Nathan smiled faintly. "Very good. Don't transfer the money to my account; transfer it to the East Charity Fund. Let that money help the poor families and contribute to the development of the cities."

If the eyes of everyone present grew any wider, they would pop out of their heads.

It was already shocking enough that Charlus was willing to pay the ten billion to Nathan. Yet now the latter was donating it all out to charity!

A lot of the guests present were locals from Glyngarth. Right then, they were looking at Nathan with admiration shining in their eyes.

Forcing back his pain, Charlus asked hopefully, "Mr. Cross, does that mean we're even now?"

Nathan shook his head. Tve already said yesterday what my conditions were for letting you go. One was compensation and the other was an apology. I'm still waiting for a sincere apology from you."

Of course, Charlus had heard about how Nathan wanted him to get down on his knees to ask for forgiveness.

His face flushed red in anger as he growled, "Cross, that's way out of line. You're asking for too much!"

"You'd wanted to kill me and Zayn.

Compared to that, what's more out of line, hmm? I only want you to kneel and apologize. That's all."

There was nothing that Charlus could contend with, and he seethed impotently.

"Stop wasting my time. Either apologize or get lost," Nathan spoke up mildly.

Frustrated but left with no choice, Charlus got down on his knees, with shame burning his cheeks.

Fighting to sound remorseful, he bit out, "Mr. Cross, I was wrong for what I'd tried to do. Please forgive me." "I accept your apology."

At last, Charlus received Nathan's forgiveness. He fled from the scene, as quickly as he could after that.

Returning to his Bentley, he instructed the driver to head home, before getting lost in his thoughts.

For a very long while, he was unable to calm down.

Finally, he dialed the governor's number. He told the other man he had done as Nathan requested and obtained his forgiveness.

Jay laughed and replied, "There, see? That wasn't so hard, was it?"

Feeling aggrieved, Charlus prodded Jay for further information, "Mr. Governor, just who is Nathan Cross?"

"Well, technically I'm not supposed to reveal his identity. But I feel like I should tell you, so you won't commit suicide by going against him again," Jay sighed.

With that, he told Charlus about how Nathan was the General of the North.

Charlus felt his mind go blank, as a shiver raced down his spine.

A cold sweat broke out across his whole body as he muttered, "No wonder!"

To think that they had managed to offend such a powerful figure!

All the anger, hate, and resentment in him vanished in an instant. All that was left was fear and relief.
