CHAPTER 855 THE INTENTIONS OF NATHAN CROSS
Huh? Declan was stupefied! Jedediah was dumbfounded! Jarelle was stunned! Every single guest was slack-jawed with surprise!
Just as everyone was puzzled at the scene, Jack quickly walked to Nathan and greeted him reverently with a bow, "Good day, Mr. Cross!”
Nathan stated in his usual, calm composure, "No, it is not a good day for me at all. It is supposed to be my teacher's birthday banquet, but both he and his daughter were insulted in public."
Jack turned around and gave Declan a stern stare. Declan was scared to death and he began to stammer, "Mr... Mr. Gr...een. Who... Who is he?"
"He is Mr. Nathan Cross, whom even my boss, Mr. Thomas Dunn, has to attend to respectfully. How dare you behave so rudely to Mr. Cross and the Zinkes?" Jack yelled furiously.
"Someone come over now. Make this fellow kneel and apologize!" A few men immediately stepped forward to carry out the instructions given.
Crack! Crack! Declan's legs were broken just like that. He shrieked, in extreme pain, as he fell miserably, kneeling down before Jedediah and Jarelle.
He cried as he begged for mercy, "Mr. Zinke and Jarelle, | know that | was wrong. Please, | beg you to forgive me. Please spare me and let me go... Please..."
Jarelle stared at the sobbing man in front of her with disbelief.
In a state of confusion, she remembered a similar situation, years ago when she was being bullied by a gangster. Nathan had battered the gangster without the slightest hesitation and consequently demanded that he kneel before her, begging for forgiveness. It was at that time when she started developing feelings for Nathan. She could not resist it and later confessed her feelings for him. Sadly, she was rejected. Since then, her love for him had turned into hatred.
Meanwhile, as she reminisced about her past feelings, she gazed at Nathan with conflicting emotions.
Jedediah felt vindicated after seeing how Nathan had taught Declan a hard lesson. His grievances were addressed when Declan received his deserved consequences for his actions. Then, Jedediah tilted his head upwards and came to a conclusion with a stern scolding, "Whatever! Get out of my sight immediately!”
Two of Declan's injured subordinates carried him. He was now handicapped, and they all fled away in embarrassment. Jack and the rest of his followers soon evaded thereafter.
Many guests had left quietly during the commotion. Out of the fifty tables of guests who were present, less than half remained, and they were mainly close friends, relatives, and students of Jedediah.
He sighed at the handful of guests left in an almost desolated banquet hall, before instructing the manager to serve them dinner.
He asked both Nathan and Jarelle to sit beside him, then apologized to Nathan with a bitter smijle, "Soh thot ractte Bithese the whole fiasco. | did not expect that to happen. It has now turned into a quiet celebration. If you don't mind, have more drinks with me tonight.” Please read the original content at .
Nathan looked around at the scattered guests in a cheerless hall and replied with a comfortin i "How cou cit hecteudher? You have student from all around the world and your friend list is endless. | believe that many guests are still on their way here, so let us wait for their arrival before starting the banquet."

The Zinkes were baffled at his comment. It is already time, and if there were more people coming, they would have arrived by now. Should we wait longer and expect more guests to turn up?
Even though Jedediah did not have
much hope for better attendance

As the head of the national guards, who had served Nathan for years, Colin could understand what Nathan had in mind. He wanted his teacher's birthday banquet to be filled with invited guests!
Therefore, he left the hall discreetly and found himself a hidden corner in the corridor to make a phone call, “The General's teacher is celebrating his sixtieth birthday and he doesn't want to see an empty hall..."C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
