Chapter 849 Mentor From The Past


    By the time Nathan had returned to the city area, it was already two in the afternoon.


    Nathan Cross dismissed Colin Dunne and the rest before he drove to The Orient.


    He was going to take away the crystal shrimp dumpling at this ce. It was Penny''s favorite.


    Unfortunately, when he reached the entrance of the restaurant, he realized that the entire restaurant was booked.


    On the door, there was a notice which read, "Jedediah Zinke''s Sixtieth Birthday Banquet!"


    Jedediah Zinke?


    Nathan Cross was surprised when he saw that name. His ss mentor back in high school went by that name.


    Nheless, he was pretty sure the high school he attended was in Cledondale of Northania.


    And his mentor was teaching at the First


    High School of Cledondale.


    Could it be a mere coincidence?


    As Nathan Cross was still deep in his thoughts, a pretty woman d in a Chanel dress looked at Nathan and gasped, "Aren''t you


    Nathan Cross?"


    Nathan was equally as surprised to see the girl, d in Chanel, "Jarelle!”


    Jarelle Zinke was Jedediah Zinke''s only daughter.


    Jarelle Zinke sized Nathan up, in the bat of an eye andughed, "You''re here for my dad''s birthday celebration right? Why are


    you still pacing at the doorsteps?"


    "Is it because you haven''t been doing welltely and are too embarrassed to talk to my dad?"


    Nathan Cross looked at Jarelle who seemed like she held a silent grudge against him. He thought of the time when he was


    chased out of the Cross family with his mother. Back when they had nowhere to go, Jedediah was the one to take them under


    his roof.


    While Nathan and his mother were staying at the Zinke household, Jarelle had confessed her love to Nathan.


    However, Nathan had rejected her back then.


    Nathan had rejected Jarelle''s confession immediately, which had embarrassed her a great deal. Since then, she had always held


    a bad opinion of Nathan, as she felt that Nathan did not know how to appreciate her.


    From then onwards, she had purposely tried to make life difficult, for Nathan and his mother. She told everyone that Nathan and


    his mother were beggars who were reluctant to move out of her house and that they shamelessly feeding on their household''s


    fortune.


    Not long after that, Nathan left the Zinke''s household and Cledondale altogether.


    Nathan had not seen Jedediah Zinke for almost ten years now.


    Who knew that he would bump into Jarelle here of all ces?


    Nathan looked at Jarelle who was treating him with hostility and derision, andughed coldly, "I should have paid my dear


    teacher a visit a long time ago. | feel bad for not keeping in touch with him."


    Jarelle rolled her eyes and smiled in return, "Actually, my dad has spoken a lot about you, all this while. He was wondering how


    you were faring in the outside world."


    "Since you''re here, just join us!"


    Nathan nodded, "Alright!"


    Nathan and Jarelle walked into The Orient. There were tables set up everywhere for the birthday banquet.


    Out of curiosity, he asked Jarelle as they traveled down the hallway, "Didn''t Mr. Zinke use to teach in Northania? Why is he now


    in the southern area?"


    Jarelle nced at Nathan and


    announced smugly, "It''s bec egy


    dad was o.gopetattéathiing that he


    Ratecitne by a private high school


    in Channing. They offered him a high

    She had not forgotten at all, about how Nathan had rejected her back then.


    Thus, she deliberately asked him, "Nathan, where do you work now?”

    Jarelle uttered with disdain, "Oh, so you''re busy being a jobless nobody now!"


    Nathan sensed the mockery in Jarelle''s tone but he was not intimidated by her at all. He replied calmly, "Well, | guess you could


    say so."


    Jarelle could not hold in her urge to disparage Nathan anymore. She sneered, "Hah. You''re still a useless chap after such a long


    while!"


    "Do you regret rejecting my confession when | went out of my way to confess my love to you back then?"
