Chapter 118 Slicked-backâs eyes widened when he heard Nathanâs words.
He didnât expect him to remain calm or to be able to have such a clear and precise chain of thought.
He sneered, âYou want to follow the law? Then weâll follow the law! But donât come crying to me when you go bankrupt!â
He then whipped out his cellphone to make a call.
Not long after, two cops arrived.
The cops took a look at Slicked-backâs photos of the accident, then headed to the scene itself to investigate. They then determined that Benson was responsible for all the damages suffered by Slicked-back, Harvey Babcock.
Penny and her parentsâ face turned pale when they heard the determination of the police. Their eyes filled with despair and they felt like it was the end of days for them.
Harvey Babcock smugly waved the copsâ result slip in his hand and sneered at Nathan and his family. âThe cops have determined that you are fully responsible for all damages. What else do you have to say now?â
âCough up my two hundred million right away. Otherwise youâll find out why they call me the T-Rex.â
Nathan frowned at T-Rexâs words. He stated coldly, âYou keep saying that the antique is worth two hundred million. Iâm sure you wonât mind if I take a shard and have someone do an appraisal?â
T-Rex chuckled coldly, âThis very antiques auction house is the largest and most respected appraiser of antiques in the whole of Channing. How dare you question the authenticity of my porcelain?â
âVery well,â he huffed, âTake a shard then. And when youâre done, you can finally stop trying to find ways to worm yourself out of this.â
T-Rex picked out a small porcelain shard and handed it over to Nathan.
He then proceeded to warn Nathan and his family. âIâm only giving you one day to get it appraised and to compensate for my loss. If I donât get my two hundred million by tomorrow afternoon, then you all better watch out.â
His cruel eyes swept over Nathanâs family nonchalantly .
Queenie, startled by T-Rexâs behavior, quickly tucks herself behind Nathan.
Nathanâs expression darkened but he controlled himself and led Penny and her parents away.
When they arrived home, Penny hurriedly inquired about the details of the accident.
Bensonâs hands were still trembling. Then, he explained in a shaky voice, âYour mother and I had finished with the grocery shopping so we went back to the car. I was reversing the car out when suddenly a car just appeared behind me! I couldnât hit the brakes in time and I rammed into them.â
âThey got out of the car and immediately grabbed me, accusing me of not just crashing into them but also causing the antique in the car to shatter.â
Nathan furrowed his brows. He felt like the accident hadnât been that severe.
Logically speaking, the impact from reversing the car wouldnât have been strong enough to cause the antique to shatter.
Something doesnât smell right.
Nathan called for Colin to send the shard of porcelain off for appraisal.
That night, Colin called back to inform Nathan that their experts had determined the shard to be authentic.
This result took Nathan by surprise.
Penny and her family just sat there, their faces ashen and devoid of all hope.
Nathan noticed their demeanors and softly consoled Penny, âDonât worry. This is just a small matter. Leave this to me and Iâll take care of it tomorrow.â
Penny could feel her heart turn all warm and fuzzy with Nathanâs words.
However, even though Nathan was great at fighting, she knew that this wasnât something that could be resolved with fists.
She urged Nathan not to act rashly, while also secretly making plans to go to her uncle for a loan.
She wanted to make sure that her father survived this crisis, even if it meant mortgaging her company.
