Chapter 2144


    The next day, Nathan, Penny, Kylie, and Queenie made their way back to Channing in a discreet manner.


    Colin led the Elite Eight while Ava led the Phoenix Squad as they secured the family on their way back home.


    The Phoenix Squad was a team that Nathan had asked Ava to set up, cherry-picking the creme de creme among the female fighters.


    Colin and the Elite Eight would still be in charge of Nathan''s security.


    Meanwhile, the Phoenix Squad would be responsible for Penny and Queenie''s safety.


    Their private ne soonnded at the airport.


    Benson and Leah, as well as Sean''s family, had been waiting at the entrance of the airport.


    Penny was surprised to see them all. “Mom, Dad, and Grandpa. You guys are all here."


    It had been some time since Benson and Leahst saw their daughter, son-inw, and granddaughter. Their eyes brimmed with tears at the sight of Penny and her family. Tugging at their daughter''s hand, they could not help but repeat themselves. "My good daughter. You''re finally back. We miss you so much."


    Sean was still healthy as ever. Chuckling, the man said, "Yes, we all miss you and Nathan. So, we''re here to wee you home."


    Touch by their gesture, Penny chimed, "Thank


    |


    I" you, guys!


    Samuel and Paul grinned, "Penny, that''s silly-


    We''re family."


    Nevertheless, Penny still found their effort endearing.


    It was sufficient to say that she had been through a lot all these years.


    Just two years ago, the Smiths had deemed her the ck sheep of the family. However, she was now officially the most treasured member of the family.


    Having said that, she was well aware of the reasons behind the preferential treatment. It was mainly because she was Cross Group''s chairman, and that Nathan was an aplished man.


    There was no doubt that marrying Nathan was the reason her status had skyrocketed.


    With the thought in mind, she held Nathan''s hand in hers, circling it around her own tightly.


    She was extremely grateful that Nathan had fallen for her.


    Her husband was all smiles as he greeted the Smiths one by one, giving everyone a pleasant surprise.


    Sean hurriedly added, "This is no ce to talk. The car is parked outside by the sidewalk. Let''s go. We will catch up when we get home." "Sure."


    The group headed out of the airport, making their way toward the dozens of ck cars parked by the sidewalk.


    Colin whispered in Nathan''s ears,

    "Mr. Cross, stil only a handful of people know about your identity as the Chief Military Governor. Most people still think that you''re the dejected man who just got stripped of the title of the


    Commander-in-Chief of the North Army. Hence, not many local authorities are greeting you here today."


    Nathan''s lips curled into a smile as he replied in a low voice, “This is great. You know that I like to keep a low profile, and I never like to waste social


    resources.


    "I''m going to lead a team to participate in the Joint Military Exercise of a Hundred Nations at Avenportmext month. So, I just want to focus on apanying my family in Channing this time. Please take note not to let the news about me being the Chief Military Governor out."


    "Understood, sir."


    Nathan and Penny, as well as the Smith family, made their way to the sidewalk and prepared to


    get into their respective cars.


    However, excited murmurs could be hearding from onlookers not far from them.


    To Nathan and the others'' surprise, they were greeted with the sight of a convoy of luxurious cars.


    The worst car of the lot was a Maybach while the one leading the convoy was a limited edition Rolls-Royce.


    Under the Smith family''s scrutinizing gaze, the convoy which consisted of at least over a hundred luxurious cars stopped right in front of Penny.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    A man dressed in a white butler uniform got off the Rolls-Royce with grace. A few other hundred men dressed impably in suits alighted their respective cars as well.


    The butler dressed in all white made his way over to Penny and bowed slightly. "Greetings, Ms. Camden. I . am Damien Camden, the butler for the Camden family. We are of the Camden Group, one of the ten biggest conglomerates in the world. I am here to wee you home, Ms. Camden."


    Over hundreds of men in suits behind Damien bowed in unison as they chanted, "Wee home, Ms. Camden."


    Penny was dumbstruck.


    In fact, everyone was.


    Even Nathan''s jaw had dropped. Isn''t Penny from the Smith family? Why is there a Camden Group iming to wee Penny home instead?Could she be from the Camden family?


    Benson and Leah shuddered at the sight before him as they appeared to be struggling in a turmoil of emotions.
