Chapter 1546 Dare To Hit Me


    Penny Smith was also sensitive to Herman''s words, which carried a hint of immodesty.


    She maintained basic etiquette and politely declined to shake hand with him with a smile. "It''s nice


    to meet you, Commissioner Franck. I''m sorry, but my husband does not like it when I shake hands


    with other men," she exined.


    Herman was obviously displeased by this.


    He came from the province to inspect this city - even Russell Crow had to treat him with the utmost


    respect.


    As for the rest of the businessmen, they walked on eggshells around him and bombarded him with


    ttery.


    He had taken the initiative to shake hands with Penny, but she had the guts to turn him down and


    publicly humiliate him.


    He couldn''t afford to let her trample on his dignity.


    His face fell, and his tone became chilly,


    "Your husband?”


    Penny hurriedly introduced Nathan, who was standing beside her, "This is my husband, Nathan."


    Russell noticed Herman''s dissatisfaction and became even more apprehensive. He hastily stepped


    forward and said with a smile," Yes, Yes, Commissioner Franck. Let me introduce this man, this


    is..."


    Russell wanted to tell Herman that Nathan was the General of the North to prevent him from poking


    the bear.


    s, Nathan coldly interrupted, "My name is Nathan Cross. I''m a soldier. I''m now on vacation to


    visit my rtives, so I decided to apany my wife and attend your banquet. You can take it as


    an act of hospitability as a host. I am part of Channing''s public, after all."


    Russell originally wanted to reveal Nathan''s identity, but Nathan shot him an icy re. All those


    present who were privy to Nathan''s true identity dared not let out a peep.


    Herman vented his fury on Nathan. "You are neither the leader of Channing nor a businessman;


    you''re not fit to be a host!"


    The audience''s faces were filled with trepidation when they heard this.


    Russell swallowed hard, bracing for the worst.


    Penny quickly grasped Nathan''s hand, surreptitiously reminding Nathan to quell his anger and


    ignore people like Herman.


    Herman noticed Russell''s dramatic change in mood, but he figured that Russell respected Nathan


    and Penny because theirpany could generate arge amount of tax revenue for Channing.


    He thought disdainfully, I don''t care about Cross Group''s tax revenue.


    Moreover, Cross Group is also under my supervision.


    I control the lifeline of their business. Why should I bother with maintaining civility?

    Herman also noticed Penny hand tugging Nathan''s as she silently implored her husband to


    suppress his anger.


    He sneered internally, I can tell that Nathan is a reckless man, but at least Penny knows to read the


    room. They can''t afford to cross me, so she''s asking her husband to hold himself back.


    Awkwardness filled the room.


    Fortunately, the manager of the guesthouse walked over at this crucial moment and said with a


    smile, "Respected leaders, the banquet will start soon. You can take your seats."


    Russell Crow hurriedly changed the subject, "Take your seats, everyone, take your seats..."


    The crowd was seated and ready to feast. The heavy atmosphere lifted temporarily.


    Russell let out a sigh of relief.


    Just as Russell thought that they had dodged a bullet and Herman was in the clear, Herman


    approached Penny after downing a drink. "Ms. Smith, what position do you hold in Cross Group?"


    "I''m the president," Penny said curtly.


    Herman said with a smirk, "Good for you! Bing a president at such a young age is an amazing


    feat."


    With that, he looked at his driver, Wade, andughed, "Wade, look at you. You''re old, but you can


    only work as a driver. Ms. Smith is the president at a young age.”


    "Why didn''t you try harder? This could have been your fate as well."


    Wade smiled and said, "Commissioner Franck, being apany president is also my dream, but I


    don''t have the ability, so I can only work as a driver. On the contrary, if you had entered the


    business field, you would definitely be a president."


    Herman looked at Penny with an ambiguous smile, "Ms. Smith, do you agree with Wade? If I were


    in the business field, could I be apany president?”


    There were a few people present who knew Nathan''s identity. Their faces turned pale when they


    overhead Herman openly flirt with Penny.


    Russell was the most shocked of the bunch. He had a sense of impending doom when he caught


    sight of Herman''s relentless advances.


    As expected, just as Herman finished his sentence, Nathan struck out in anger.


    Nathan raised his hand and pped Herman so hard that he was thrown backwards.


    Half of Herman''s face swelled from the p. Blood trickled down the corner of his lips. He covered


    his battered face with a hand and looked at Nathan in disbelief, screaming, "How dare you hit me!"
