Chapter 679 Brother From The Same Father
Penny smiled awkwardly, "Of course | want to. But there are a lot of prominent figures exerting their influence in Northania, so it'sreally hard for us to establish ourselves when we don't have solid footing there."
Jared latched onto that opportunity and suggested, "| know a wealthy and powerful man from Northania, and if you're willing tobe his business partner, | guarantee that the Cross Group's product can make their entrance into Northania without any hassle."
Penny exclaimed, "Really?"Jared nodded. "Really. To express my sincerity, I'm willing to introduce you to him. Are you willing to meet up with him?"Penny nodded. "Of course | am. When should we meet?”
Jared grinned. "Today, because incidentally, he arrived at Channing recently. Is it alright if | arranged your meeting to be at threep.m. in the Prince hotel?"novelbin
Penny hesitated for a little while before agreeing.
Asmug look flashed across Jared's face once Penny agreed. Soon, he stood up and bid his farewell.Not long after Jared left, Nathan brought some of Penny's favorite desserts to her.
He smiled. 'Td passed by Blissful Promises Confectionery just now, so I'd bought some tarts for you.”
Penny stared at him quizzically before saying, "We don't usually pass by Blissful Promises Confectionery when we go to work.You probably went there just to buy this for me, right?”
Nathan smiled in response.
Penny felt a warmth surging in her heart. Nathan has always shown me his love in subtle ways. He's never clamored for credit orbragged about it as well.
She finished her snacks joyfully and told Nathan about Jared.
Nathan grinned. "We'd caused a few dozens of Jared's shops to shut down, and now he's apologizing to us and introducing apowerful business partner just for us to expand our business to Northania? Do you think he's that kind?”
Penny gaped in surprise as her eyes wavered uncertainly. "Do you think he's trying to scam us somehow? If so, I'll just canceltomorrow's meeting!"
Nathan grinned and explained, "Since you've already agreed to meet him, it wouldn't be appropriate if you'd just canceled themeeting abruptly. Maybe I'm wrong and Jared really is sincere in his apology and he really wants us to introduce a businesspartner to us! How about | go with you to the meeting later? That way we can be sure that they're not trying to trick us."
Penny smiled sweetly. "Alright. I'll feel much safer if you're with me.”In the afternoon, Nathan brought only one subordinate, Colin, with him as he arrived at the Prince hotel with Penny.The entire restaurant in the Prince hotel was booked by Gladius.
He wore a black tuxedo and was dressed very elegantly. Centaur and Minotaur stood right behind him, and a few dozenexpressionless men stood further back.
Penny was shocked when she saw Gladius because he looked somewhat similar to Nathan.Gladius looked more cold and menacing, while Nathan looked more grounded and reserved.
Penny asked in puzzlement, "Are you the one from Northania, Gladius Cross, that Mr. Ocean had mentioned?"
A hint of admiration flashed beforeGladius’ face when he saw P: -and he stretched out @\fan Stbyerad hb for a handshake. "That'sright. I'm Gladius Cross. Nice to meetyou, Ms. Smith!" Please read theoriginal content at NovelDrama.Org.

Gladius then mocked Nathan haughtily, "Now, the tables have turned. I'm the favored son of the Cross Family while you're just anobody!"
Nathan exchanged a glance with Colin, who stood beside him when they saw how superior Gladius was and they smiled.Nathan chuckled. "I'm afraid that you'll be
disappointed. I'm still the one you need to look up to!”
