Chapter 2344


    One of Jace''s men came running in and reported that Nathan had arrived as they wereughing.


    Turning around, they could see Sean leading Nathan, Penny, Colin, Ava, and a few other members of the Smith family into the dining hall.


    As Nathan and Penny stepped into the dining hall, they instantly noticed many tattooed men in ck suits seated around, filling almost all the tables in the hall. They gave each other a puzzled look and thought they had descended upon a mafia meeting.


    However, Nathan soon caught sight of Tye, and he instantly recognized what was happening.


    Penny was momentarily stunned to see Tye there too. She suddenly remembered he had sent a messenger to their homest night with regards to a negotiation meeting, but that messenger was thrown out before he could pass on the message.


    She realized Sean had conned them into meeting up with Tye and the Riveras!


    Nathan was annoyed that Sean had lied to them, but he did not let his displeasure show.


    What was done cannot be undone, and since they had already arrived, he had no intention of backing off at that moment. He wanted to see what monkey business the Rivera family had in mind.


    The sight of Nathan provoked the ire of Tye. He narrowed his eyes and gave Nathan a hostile stare. "You are finally here, Nathan! I thought you had chickened out!"


    Nathanpletely ignored Tye. Instead, he turned to Sean and calmly asked, "What is happening, Grandpa?"


    Sean gave him an apologetic look and exined, "Nathan and Penny, I thought it is best to keep a cordial rtionship with everyone. Since Tye and the Riveras wanted to have a chat with us, why don''t we sit down and hear them out? There are always multiple ways to resolve an issue, so it doesn''t hurt to keep an open mind, does it?"


    "But Grandpa, you shouldn''t have kept us in the dark. You should have discussed it with us," Penny grumbled.


    "I know I was wrong to lie to you. I apologize to you for that. However, since we are already here, why don''t we take a seat and see if we can meet each other halfway?"


    Nathan and Penny did not want to make things difficult for Sean, so they obligingly sat down.


    Nathan had his gaze fixed on Jace. Jace, too, was checking Nathan out with interest.


    Tye let out a cough to bring attention to himself, then started doing the introduction. "This is Jace Rivera, the head of the prominent Rivera family from Yorknd. He is also a magnate of the electronic industry in Yorknd and the leader of Young Knives. The two gentlemen next to him are his sworn brothers and his right-hand men in Young Knives, Tyrone and Reggie." "It is a pleasure to meet all of you!" Sean was quick to respond, but Nathan remained indifferent. It was obvious he wasn''t impressed by the three men.


    Jace and his friends did not pay any attention to Sean and ignored his greetings, leaving him smiling awkwardly by himself.


    Jace had a fake smile on his face


    when he tried to engage with Nathan. "Mr. Cross, Mateo is my son, and as you know, after that misunderstanding with you, he was detained by the police. If you drop the charges, he will be able to avoid imprisonment."


    “So?" Nathan coldly asked.


    Jace took out a cheque of one hundred million and slid it across the table toward Nathan. He smilingly saidol willpensate you if you are willing to forgive him." Content

    "Money is not everything. What if I won''t do as you propose?" Nathan replied.


    Tye interrupted with a warning, "You had better not push your luck, Nathan. Do you know what songs they are performing on stage?"


    Nathan threw a nce in the direction of the performers and halfheartedly replied, "No idea."


    Tye looked at him firmly and said, "Songs from ''Les Miserables''! Don''t end up like those foolish students who try to go against the powerful


    ones!" werful


    "Ah! I see. So those were ''Les


    Miserables'' songs!" Nathan pretended to be impressed and nodded his head.


    Then, he turned around and called for the owner of the restaurant.


    "Boss!"


    The owner of Le Fleur came running toward him and asked, "What can I do for you, sir?"


    Nathan gave him a sweet smile and said, "I don''t really like the performance on stage now. Can I request for a change in the song?"


    The boss was taken aback by the unexpected request, but he was obliging. "What song would you like, sir?" he asked.


    "Mama said knock you out'' by LL Cool J. Thank you." As Nathan made the request, his gaze swept from Tye to Jace, Tyrone and ended on Reggie.
