All Chapters of The Hidden War General: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“Hey, who are you? How dare you talk to my woman like that?” Ben glared angrily, his hand still blocking Nathan’s path.Nathan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ben with a scornful expression. “Your woman?”“Damn, who is this guy? Why does his gaze give me the creeps?” Ben swallowed hard, suddenly feeling nervous.Casually, Nathan brushed Ben’s blocking hand aside.“Angela.”Angela replied, “Y-you ….”Angela Jackson had never been so shocked in her entire life. Her voice even trailed off instantly.This was the first time she’d been speechless just from looking at someone for a few seconds. She was even at a loss for words as she stared at the man in front of her.She clearly recognized the man’s voice. It was her husband’s voice, Nathaniel Lee, the twenty-nine-year-old man who had vanished from her life over a month ago.How could this be him?The man standing before her was vastly different from her husband. The Nathan she knew was slightly thin, scruffy, and had a sallow complexion.

Angela glared at Nathan after making that accusation. Her chest rose and fell, as if she herself wasn’t sure why those words had come out of her mouth.Nathan was silent for a few seconds. Instead of getting angry, he just let out a soft sigh.“Angela,” he said in a low voice, “I haven’t seen any other woman, honey.”Angela crossed her arms over her chest. “Then where have you been for over a month, Nathan? Don’t tell me you were just wandering around without letting your wife know.”Nathan looked at his beautiful wife for a moment before finally saying softly, “I was kidnapped.”Angela furrowed her brow, looking surprised, but it was only for a moment.“Kidnapped?” she repeated, her tone clearly showing disbelief at what her husband had said.Nathan didn’t answer right away. He simply unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and pulled the collar to the side.Under the bright light of the hotel corridor, several scars were clearly visible on his shoulder. There was a long cut that appe

Angela shook her head. She had known her cousin since childhood and knew that Harry was nervous. That was why he was acting so irritating. “Stop lying, Harry!” Angela snapped, her voice trembling.A few guests nearby began to glance over curiously. Angela Jackson was usually elegant, never showing her emotions.However, that night, her cousin’s outrageous behavior had caused her to lose her composure.Harry tried to stay calm even though a thin sheen of sweat was beginning to form on his temples.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Harry said nonchalantly.Angela almost laughed sarcastically at that reply.“You still want to pretend?” she said sharply. “Those two hitmen mentioned your name directly.”Harry glared at her.“And you just believe everything those hitmen say? Are you crazy?”Angela stepped closer. “Don’t play dumb! Everyone knows you’re the only one with a motive to get rid of Nathan!”Some guests began to whisper. Nathan’s name was no stranger among the Jackson fam

Nathaniel Lee looked closely at Angela Jackson, observing every subtle shift in the expression on his wife’s beautiful face. He wasn’t exactly an expert on facial expressions, but he knew his wife didn’t fully trust him. To be honest, he wasn’t all that disappointed. After all, he’d only been embarrassing Angela all this time.“He’s my husband, Uncle John. Of course I trust him.”Nathan’s eyes widened slightly, surprised by Angela’s unexpected words.“You believe he knows HC? Goodness, Angela! I thought you were a smart woman, but it turns out-”“Nathan, how do you know HC?” Angela ignored her uncle and asked Nathan directly.With nearly all the guests at the event still watching, Nathan began to explain, “Angela, I mentioned earlier that I was kidnapped, right?”“H-he’s the one who kidnapped you? But what did you do wrong? How could he .…?”Nathan shook his head, “Quite the opposite, sweetheart. He’s the one who saved me, providing the best medical treatment and care so I could full

Nathan felt Angela’s grip tighten slightly.He turned to his wife and smiled gently, trying to calm the emotional turmoil of the woman he loved.“Don’t worry,” he said softly. “I’ll help you, honey.”That simple sentence immediately broke the tension-not with calmness, but with mocking laughter.Harry was the one laughing the hardest. “Help, you say?” he repeated mockingly. “Did you hear that, Lucy?”Lucy chuckled along, covering her mouth elegantly as if holding back a giggle. “This is truly funny. Since when can a garden cleaner help with a business matter that big?”John smiled coldly, staring at Nathan from head to toe. “Young man, you don’t even know what’s being discussed here.”Their gazes were filled with contempt, but Nathan remained calm. He didn’t return the mockery, nor did he show any offense. His gaze simply shifted to Angela.Unlike before, Angela didn’t immediately return his gaze. The woman fell silent. Nathan’s words had actually made her doubt.She knew Nathan was a
