Chapter 1084 It Is Not Your ce To Speak
Sean, Samuel, Paul and the restughed along, whereas the indignant Benson felt so embarrassed
that his face turned bright red. He wished he had a ce to hide right there and then.
Nathan, who was nearby, grew furious when he saw what happened. He was on the verge of
blowing a fuse upon seeing how his father-inw was being treated by the former Director of the
Industry and Commerce Bureau from Brimmopolis!
However, Penny, who was standing next to him, immediately pulled him back. She reminded him
gently while shaking her head, "Nathan, the Johnson family is very influential in Brimmopolis. They
have also been a family friend of ours for generations. Even my grandpa tries to butter up Mr.
Johnson. There''s no need to burn bridges and cut ties between the two families over this petty
incident."
Fine! I''ll just bear with it.
Nathan calmed himself down after hearing Penny
''s advice.
Meanwhile, Sean quickly changed the topic upon seeing how Keith ridiculed his son.
He asked with a smile, "Keith, you mentioned contributing to the economy in your hometown. I
reckon you are nning to make some investments?”
"That''s right! Even though I''m now a retiree, I can''t stay idle. I n to do something to keep myself
entertained!" Keith exined.
Sean asked curiously, "Do you already have something in mind?”
"The medical industry!" Keith responded with a skin-deep grin, "I heard that your granddaughter,
Penny, works at Channing''s top pharmaceuticalpany, Cross Group. Isn''t that right?"
Sean, Benson, and all the others were stunned by his question.

A homing retired senior official has
his eyes on Penny''spany business?
With an unnatural facial expression, Sean inquired further, "Cross Group is indeed the brainchild of
my granddaughter and her husband. Keith, do you mean...?"
Keith smiled as he replied, "Yes. I meant to say that I would like to support the Smith family. Even
though I''ve retired, I''m still very influential in this industry. Mywork of business contacts is still
active."
"I n to coborate with your family to expand Cross Group. I want to make it bigger, stronger, and
of course, more profitable! I won''t chip in any capital but I''ll bring you all the connections you need
while you focus on the product channel fit. With this strong synergy, we can be even more
sessful. Being a 10% shareholder of Cross Group is all I ask for in return. That''s not a problem
with you, right?"
Benson was taken aback by what the man had just proposed, while Sean looked dumbfounded.
Penny and all the other Smith family members were shocked too. It was their first time meeting
such a brazen person who asked for a 10% equity without contributing a single cent!
Cross Group had a market value of hundreds of billions. 10% of its shares would yield up to tens of
billions! Undoubtedly, Keith''s proposal totally seemed like a scam!
Penny found it unbelievable that the man had even equated this extortion-like proposal as a
coboration.
Are all high-ranking government officials so good with their words?
Before Sean could respond to Keith''s request, Nathan stood up and sneered coldly, "In your
dreams!"
As soon as Nathan spoke, Keith''s face turned red from anger.
Bang! Shocked and angry, he mmed the coffee table before pointing at Nathan with his whole
body trembling with rage, "Who are you? How dare you speak to me like that?"
Nathan said with a smirk, "I am Nathan Cross, Penny''s husband!"
Keith had actually already found out about Cross Group and Penny''s family situation through a prior
private investigation.
Now that he had heard Nathan proim his identity, Keith sneered, "So you are Nathan Cross, the
useless parasite of the family? Do you really think you have any ce to speak at all? I want you to
apologize to me this instant!"
Nathan scoffed, "If you want me to apologize, you will have to kneel before me first!"
What? Keith was surprised to hearthat, whereas the Smiths were equally shocked.
