Salute to the General novel Chapter 2467

After Nathan ordered Colin to investigate the matter, Penny's phone rang.

Penny took a glance at the unknown caller and froze for a moment before answering it.

“Ms. Smith? Is that you?”

Penny answered, “Yes. Who am I speaking to?”

The woman chuckled. “I'm Kendall Culler, a television host for a local television network. I wonder if you know who I am?”

Penny, who seldom watched television programs, knew how famous Kendall was from her mother.

She said politely, “Oh, Ms. Guller! How may I help you?”

Kendall grinned. “You have been the talk of the town lately, so I would like to conduct an interview with you, Ms. Smith. What do you think?”

Penny rejected the offer. “Thanks for reaching out, Ms. Guller, but I don't enjoy speaking to the media and being in the limelight. I'm afraid I have to turn you down. Hope you can understand.”

Kendall responded with a subtle smile. “I understand you don't like to be in the limelight. But I'm afraid you don’t have a choice.”

Penny felt something was amiss upon hearing that remark. Kendall did not seem to be as courteous as she was before.

Penny knitted her brows. “What do you mean, Ms. Guller?”

A corner of Kendall's lips quirked up. Instead of answering Penny’s question, she said, “Thomson is my brother.”

Thomson?Who is he?

“I also got to know that you bashed my brother up. Now, my demand is simple. I want your entire family to come over, kneel before my brother, and apologize to him. You'll also have to compensate him twenty million worth of vehicle damage and medical fees!”

Penny exploded with rage. “Based on the police investigation, your brother was responsible for the accident. Why should we apologize to him when he was at fault? Who are you to make such atrocious demands?”

Kendall replied icily, “Don't forget, I'm in the media industry, and I can destroy your reputation. You have twenty-four hours to think about it!”

She continued, “Thomson and I will make a trip to your office tomorrow morning. I'll interview you to clear your name if you drop your knees before my brother and seek his forgiveness. But if you refuse, I'll go live and expose all your wrongdoings in your office. I'm pretty sure that would further tarnish your image.”

Penny exclaimed, “What wrongdoings are you talking about?”

Kendall sneered and said, “Have you forgotten who I am? I can easily whip up a few insider stories about you, and the whole world would believe everything I say. As I said earlier, damaging your reputation, to me, is a piece of cake.”

The threatening continued, “I wonder what would happen to your company's share price if your reputation is tarnished? You better don't test my patience, Ms. Smith. I'm warning you. Don't cross me.”
