Female Novel
Chapter 1595
A death sentence?
Everyone who heard what Nathan had to say bore grim expressions.
They also understood what Nathan meant. Phoebe was to be penalized for her crimes, and afterthat, she was still to be sentenced to death.
Valois's face immediately sank. “Nathan, the Davier family has already humbled itself before you.My niece has also apologized.”
“You are being overly aggressive and you have gone overboard. What has she done to evenwarrant such a harsh penalty?”
Nathan looked at Valois indifferently. “Have I gone overboard? Are you sure you want to use thatword with me?”
“Your niece and Santiago set fire to the orphanage and almost burned more than two hundredchildren to death.”
“Then, they shot the rescue helicopter and it crashed, killing three innocent soldiers.”
“My wife is still lying in the hospital, and the doctor told me that my unborn child might not survive."
“With something as big as this hanging over her head, do you think that she can just pour me a cupof tea and apologize for her vicious deeds? You want me to act as if nothing happened?”
“So who the f*ck gave the Davier family the right to do that? Who let you think that a mere apologywould rectify the mess they've created?”
Valois and Phoebe's faces were stoic and grim asnovelbin
they looked at Nathan.
Seeing that things were heading in an unsavory direction, Vadim quickly stood up and tried to pouroil over troubled waters. “General, please, calm down.”
“We understand that the situation in the orphanage was mess, but all of it is Santiago's fault. Ms.Davier is innocent.”
“Please, General, for my sake. Can you go easy on Phoebe?”
“Vadim, I know that you are Clifford Davier's protege, and you have benefited from hisrecommendation to come to your current position. That is why you are here today.”
“I also understand that you want to uphold the honor and pride of the Davier family. But, you don'thave the right to ask this of me.” retorted
Nathan icily.
Vadim's face flushed in deep red.
To begin with, he was the Commander-in-Chief of the Channing City Military, but he had notexpected Nathan to reject his request outright.
Valois was also angry when he saw that Vadim's role as a mediator was not remotely useful.
Then, he glared at Nathan. “Don't think that as the General of the North, you somehow have thepower to order the Davier family around.”
“As far as I know, Mr. Tucker has an underlying enmity against you. If you want to make enemies ofthe Davier family, I'd suggest that you think twice.”
The meaning behind Valois's words was very clear. Nathan had already offended Boris Tucker.
If he were to make enemies of Clifford Davier as well, then that would make it two members of theGreat Cabinet. Even someone with Nathan's power would suffer repercussions.
Nathan remained indifferent towards Valois's thinly veiled threat. “Adding your family to my ever-growing list of enemies isn't something I cannot handle, but I appreciate the concern.”
“Furthermore, I think Mr. Davier is an upstanding man of righteousness. I believe he will understandwhy I need to do this.”
“Phoebe has committed a grave sin and needs to be held accountable. I owe the victims closure.”
Valois's face was livid, and his expression was particularly grim.
He eyed Nathan with a heated glare and asked, “Closure?”
“Alright then, here's your closure!”
Without warning, Valois raised his hand and grabbed Phoebe, pulling her towards him. After that, hebunched his fist and punched Phoebe square in the face.
Phoebe screamed upon impact and started to bleed out of her nose.
Seething, Valois glared at Nathan and asked him, “Does this suffice?”
Nathan only smirked in response.
Valois's expression changed briefly before he raised his fist and punched Phoebe in the face again.
Bam!
The punch landed on her already bleeding face and made her look even more pitiful.
Covering her face, Phoebe screamed and sobbed.
Valois looked at Nathan and roared. “How about that?”
Nathan still snickered mockingly at him.
Valois could no longer contained his anger.
He raised his fist and punched Phoebe several times more, which bruised her face horribly.
Vadim couldn't take this display of aggression anymore and stepped forward to stop him. “Stop! Mr.Davier, you're going to kill her!”
Valois yelled out loud. “But Nathan Cross needs closure!”
He turned his head and looked at Nathan.
Valois's face was contorted in extreme anger. With a mighty shove, he pushed Phoebe onto theground.
Phoebe fell in front of Nathan and lay in a crumpled heap, sobbing quietly.
Valois stared at Nathan. “Does this suffice?”
