Chapter 189 The Influence Of Dr Rothschild


    After the Smiths left, Zachary Schulz and the other men did not stay on. Within moments, there was


    only Nathan Cross and his family left in the house.


    There was a tant look of suspicion on Penny''s face as she stared at Nathan. "Nathan, why is it one


    phone call from you has so many business magnates fighting to invest in me?"


    Benson, Leah and Queenie were all staring at him curiously too. After what had happened earlier,


    Penny was not the only one who had suspicions.


    With the workce incident at the construction site, the safety protocols of Cross Corporation had been


    called into question. Rumors had it the mayor of the city had wanted to hand the project off to another


    In light of such a worrying situation, the Smiths had insisted on withdrawing their investment to protect


    themselves. On the contrary, Zachary Schulz and the others had still been willing to invest.


    There was definitely something fishy going on here!


    And it all had something to do with the man standing before them.


    Smiling slightly, Nathan replied, "Mr.


    Schulz and the others invested in Cross Corporation because they think we''re capable. However, there


    is another reason."


    Penny asked eagerly, "What is it?"


    "Dr. Rothschild!"


    Realizing everyone was staring at him with bewildered looks on their faces, Nathan exined, "Didn''t I


    call Dr. Rothschild toe and do surgery for the construction workers injured in the incident? He had


    declined the mayor and those business magnates'' invitation and came to our house to eat, remember?


    Naturally, they think I''m very close with him."


    Penny interrupted and picked up where he stopped, "Dr. Rothschild is the director of the North Army


    Hospital and is supposedly the personal doctor of the General of the North Army. Obviously, his social


    standing is quite high. With that, those people have misunderstood how close the two of you are. Mr.


    Schulz and those businessmen are hoping to be in his good book so they try to butter you up. Am I


    right?


    Nathan answered with a smile, "Something like that."


    Penny and her parents were not sure whether tough at the situation. They knew Nathan and Dr.


    Rothschild Nathan managed to get the doctor''s help was because thetter had once lost a bet to him.

    Benson grinned as he said to Nathan, "Whatever it is, this is all thanks to you."


    Leah had a wide smile on her face as she agreed, "Yeah, that''s right! Nathan, you really are our lucky


    star. Ever since you came to our home, every misfortune we encounter just seems to get turned around


    and resolved so easily!"


    At her parents'' words, Penny could not help but smile as well. Her parents were right, Nathan Cross


    was always doing something unexpected that had led to interesting results. As a result, she found


    herself at a loss most of the time.


    That night, Nathan told the pale-looking Penny and his daughter to sleep first. He had some matters to


    attend to and had to leave the house.


    When he stepped out of the house, Thomas was already waiting outside in a Volkswagen Phaeton.


    Settling in the backseat of the car, he questioned calmly, "Have you found that Chien fellow?"


    Thomas replied, "Yeah. I thought the punk would have already left the city but it turns out that he''s still


    in Channing with his lover."


    "Let''s go to him then."


    "Yes, sir!"


    The car moved forward at a sedate pace, heading towards the shadier part of the city


    Nathan had been discussing the incident with Bob, the supervisor of the construction site. Thetter felt


    the crane toppling over was not a normal workce ident but the work of someone sabotaging


    them deliberately.


    Hence, Nathan had called Thomas and had thetter carry out his own investigations without waiting


    for the Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM) to finish their investigations. After all, Thomas was


    king of the Channing underworld now. Anybody doing this sort of shady business had to answer to him.


    At the order from Thomas, the entire underworld went to work on the investigation. After some time, he


    received information that showed that a person called Chien was most likely behind the incident at the


    construction site.


    Unfortunately, the reason for his actions was still unknown.


    This was why Nathan and Thomas were


    now on their way to Chien. They wanted to get to the bottom of this.
