Chapter 46 Know Your Wrongs
Eyeing the two men standing before him, fury blazed through Nathan. He slammed his hand down on
the table as he roared, "Kneel!"
Thud! Thud!
Utterly shocked at Nathan's yelling, John and David fell to their knees immediately.
Penny's jaw dropped open as she stared at the scene before her in surprise.
One was the young master of Juno Hotels, while the other was the manager of Channing Bank.
As far as she knew, these two men were both influential people in Channing. Yet, with one word from
Nathan, they had kneeled before him.
The two men were both embarrassed at their automatic response to his command. There was a put-out
expression on their faces as they sneaked glances at one another from the corners of their eyes.
When John fell to his knees, he thought that he would die of shame. To his surprise, the beaten up old
man beside him had got down on his knees as well.
Blinking, he thought to himself. Huh? Mr. Cross wanted me to kneel. Why are you kneeling as well?
David shared the same thoughts.Heh, little brat, you're pretty loyal.
Although they were each taken aback by why the other was kneeling, they were also comforted by the
act.
After all, since this was a shameful moment for both of them, none of them would let news of this leak
out.
Nathan's voice was cold as he asked, "Do you know your wrongs now?”
"Yes." The men chorused in reply before glaring at one another.
Like two students who were fighting to answer the teacher's question, there was a slight hint of hostility
in their eyes.
Nathan demanded, "What did you do wrong?"
The moment the words left his lips, John's hand shot into the air as he sought to be the first to answer.
David had wanted to raise his hand as well, but he was just a beat too slow.
Pointing a finger at John, Nathan growled, "You first!"
Shooting a smug look at David, John allowed a polite smile to cross his lips as he answered, "Mr.
Cross, I was a fool to interfere in your business, as well as Joseph Myers'. I also shouldn't have trashed
your car and threatened you.”
David stared at the other man with wide eyes. I was badly beaten for simply teasing Mrs. Cross a little.
You'd actually dared to trash his car and threaten him? You have some serious guts! Either that or a
death wish.
John began to beg pitifully, "Mr. Cross, I know I was wrong. Please, have mercy on me! I promise I
won't do something like this ever again!"novelbin
"What are you going to do about my car?"
"I'll make it up to you! I've already ordered a Rolls-Royce. When it arrives, I'll personally deliver it to
you."
Destroying a BMW but compensating with a Rolls-Royce was more than enough to show his sincerity.
Realizing this, David spoke up quickly, "Mr. Cross, Ms. Smith, I know I was wrong too. I should not
have made such rude comments to Ms. Smith, nor tried to go after someone above my station like her.
I was wrong! Please, Mr. Cross, have mercy on this old dog!"
As he spoke, he started to slap himself harshly as punishment.
John could only stare at the older man with a shocked look that turned into one of grudging respect.He
really isn't holding back, is he?
David - whose face was already swollen from his earlier beating - was slapping himself so hard that
blood was trickling from the corner of his lips.
However, he dared not stop without Nathan's permission.
Penny was a kind woman at heart and was not the unreasonable type.
Seeing how David and John were already kneeling as they begged for mercy, she turned her head and
whispered to Nathan, "How about we let them go?"
