Female Novel
Chapter 318 Shane Ortiz
A cold sweat drenched Yancy's back and he was trembling slightly. Despair and terror fought for
dominance in his eyes.
His accomplice, Phil, had already been punished so harshly. He shuddered to imagine what would
happen to him, the mastermind behind this incident. At this point, he was even considering death to be
the better option.
His arm was in a sling from having been broken by Fabian, while there were bandages wrapped
around his chest for his broken ribs. Pairing them up with the terrified look on his face, Nathan found
himself staring at a rather pitiful-looking man.
Ultimately, Yancy was still a relative of Leah's, so he decided that he would let the man off easy this
time. He uttered in a harsh tone, "I gave Phil a chance earlier, so I'll offer the same to you. Next time, I
won't be so lenient!"
Delighted, Yancy exclaimed, "Thank you, Sir! Thank you! I'll be sure to warn my uncle and aunt not to
be disrespectful to
you from now on."
Nathan was quick to correct him, "No, don't do that. I don't want my peaceful life with my family
disturbed by anyone or anything. None of you are to reveal my identity, or you'll be tried for leaking a
state secret."
The color drained from Yancy, Phil, and the other young men's faces. "Yes, si... I mean, Mr. Cross. We
know what to do now."
"Begone," Nathan dismissed with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone present straightened their posture and bowed towards Nathan before swiftly departing.
He had barely taken a few steps into the house when his family surrounded him.
Penny bombarded him with questions, her face concerned, "Nathan, we saw you hitting Phil throughnovelbin
the windows. What did the military and police want with you?
What did they say? Did they give you a hard time?”
"Those were the leaders of the police and the military. They were righteous and stern, as they should
be. They criticized Yancy and Phil for their actions and they've also apologized to me. After that, they
left without much ado."
Relieved, she smiled at him. "That's good. I was afraid that they would gang up on you."
Benson and Leah were equally as happy. "Thank God those leaders were good men and knew right
from wrong."
Standing slightly behind them, Kylie rolled her eyes.
As if anyone would dare to pick on Nathan!
At the presidential suite of Juno Hotel.
Hank and Prudence Tonkins were still discussing how to split both Penny and Nathan so that Yancy
could be with her.
Just then, Hank's phone rang with a call from Yancy.
Answering the call, Hank queried, "Yancy, you guys have managed to beat up Cross, right? So he's
agreed to leave Penny?"
Embarrassed, Yancy hemmed and hawed for a good while, before he stammered out, "Uncle, there's
no way that Penny and I can work. Nathan is the best man for her and they were a match made in
heaven. Please don't bring this up again. Also, the next time you see Nathan Cross, do remember to
be more polite to him."
Hank's eyes widened to the size of saucers. "Yancy, what's happened? Didn't you say you'd fallen in
love with Penny the moment you'd first set eyes on her? That she was the one? Why are you giving up
now?"
Tve already told you not to mention this again. Just remember not to mess with Nathan Cross. That's
all," Yancy replied impatiently. Then, he hung up.
Bewildered, Hank and Prudence shared a
glance.
She suggested, "Maybe he was beaten up by Cross again?"
"We can't just let things slide like this! We have to do something about Cross!" he demanded. Updated

Chuckling, he reminded her, "Have you forgotten about the young man that has been trying to court our
Kylie? Mr. Shane?"
Her eyes brightened. “Mr. Shane, as in Shane Ortiz? The heir to the Ortiz family of the Southern Four?”
"That's him. He's always liked our Kylie and has been nothing but respectful towards us. If we ask him
for help with Cross, I'm sure he'll be willing to do it."
