Salute To The General

Chapter 226 You Are Playing With Fire

With that, Russell Crow and his team of city officials stormed off.

Sylvie Larson left the Smith mansion feeling very humiliated.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt angry and aggrieved.

Why did she have to go on TV and publicly apologize to Penny Smith?

If she went ahead with it, she would never be able to show her face again in Channing's upper class

social circles.

Just as she was about to cancel her appearance on TV, her cell phone suddenly rang.

The person on the other end was none other than Jerry Zabinski.

Jerry Zabinski was the eldest son of the Zabinskis, which was one of the Southern Four. The family

was very prominent and they had influence in all corners in the South.

Sylvie hurriedly answered the call, and used her most saccharine voice. "Mr. Zabinski!"

Jerry's voice was getting more and more high-pitched by the day. "I told you yesterday that I have a

dinner with Mr. Russo tonight, and that I wanted you there to keep him company. I hope you haven't

forgotten."

Apparently, Jerry had come across a private research facility by chance. An old professor by the

nickname of the 'Mad Doctor,' had led a team of medical experts and found a vaccine that could cure

liver cancer.

When Jerry heard this piece of news, he knew it would be a huge business opportunity.

He believed that if he managed to get the rights to the vaccine for liver cancer from the Mad Doctor,

then he would be in for a major windfall.

But he also knew that getting the rights wouldn't be an easy task.

This was the Mad Doctor's area of expertise, so he would certainly know the value of the vaccine.

And thus, Jerry had decided to invite Giovanni Russo out for dinner and proposed a partnership with

him to try and obtain the rights of the vaccine from the Mad Doctor. Then both of them would be minting

money together.

The Zabinski family's influence was mainly in the underground circle in the Southern cities.

Whereas the Russos had influence over all the different sectors such as trade, military, politics in the

South.

Jerry felt that he needed Giovanni on his side to be able to secure the rights. Otherwise, even if the

Zabinskis got their hands on it, they might not be able to hold on to it for long.

It was well known to Jerry that Giovanni was a womanizer. Thus, he had contacted Sylvie Larson who

was famous in the upper class social circles for knowing her way around men. He wanted her to make

sure Giovanni Russo had a great time.

At the moment, Sylvie was pretending to be all pitiful and upset. "Mr. Zabinksi, I'm afraid I won't be able

to keep you or Mr. Russo company tonight at dinner.''

Jerry's voice chilled within a second. "Sylvie Larson, are you sure you want to reject my invitation? You

are playing with fire. Do you believe that one call from me and the Larsons will be destroyed?"

Sylvie wailed pitifully. "Mr. Zabinski, you've misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to go to dinner. In

fact, it's a dream of mine to meet both of you. But I've been forced to do something else tonight. Trust

me, I don't like it either..."

Jerry sneered. "Who on earth is so daring to challenge me?"

Sylvie's true intention was finally revealed.

She put up a pitiful act even further. "Mr. Zabinski, both you and Mr. Russo are influential men in the

South. Could you please help me? I'll do anything to repay your kindness."

Jerry huffed in aggravation when he heard Nathan Cross' name. "So it's that bastard Cross again!"

Sylvie was startled. "Mr. Zabinski, you know him too?”

has a good time," she promised excitedly.
