Chapter 124: Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Right away, a statuesque man stood up and loudly announced, “Sir, I will avenge him!”

Everyone turned and looked at Jackson Quelch, an orphan who had been taken in by the Zabinski family when he was a child.

He grew up in the Zabinski household, and when he was older, he went abroad and joined the mercenary for three years.

After he came back, the Zabinski family gave him money and he established the largest security company in Channing, the Incandescent Security Services.

Jackson Quelch felt he had to take full responsibility, given that his security company was based in Channing, the very same place that Mr. Jerry was crippled.

Thus, he volunteered without any hesitation with the intention of seeking revenge for Mr. Jerry.

Kingston looked proudly at Jackson and nodded. “I remember that you have a security company in Channing and seeing that your company is not short of highly-trained men, I entrust this mission to you.”

Jackson answered solemnly, “Yes, sir!”

“Remember, everyone who had a part in this matter has to die. The more brutal the better,” instructed Kingston.

“I understand, sir!”

...

Nathan drove Penny home.

While on the road, Penny looked troubled. In order to not have her parents worry, she asked Nathan to keep the thrashing of Jerry a secret.

When they reached home, Benson, as well as a Queenie who was carrying Leah, rushed out to greet them.

They quickly asked Nathan and Penny how things went.

Nathan grinned, “It’s all been taken care of. You don’t have to worry anymore.”

Benson was still trying to get over the trauma. “How did you do it?”

Nathan casually answered, “I reported it to the police, and they found out that those men were con artists. So we naturally don’t need to pay them anything.”

Benson and Leah were both overjoyed at the news and kept thanking the heavens for the wonderful son-in-law they had. If it weren’t for him, they would’ve been in huge trouble.

Only Penny felt a knot in her stomach. She was worried that the Zabinski family would seek revenge.

The following day was Leah’s birthday.

They reserved a private room at Hearthstone Restaurant and went there to celebrate her birthday.

They didn’t order too many dishes, but those they ordered look exquisite.

Leah, who usually dressed modestly, wore a Chanel dress that was a gift from her daughter.

Leah herself was very pretty, seeing as she was able to give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Penny. But she often went unnoticed because she preferred to dress plainly.

So when she dressed up tonight, she exuded elegance and charm that had mesmerized everyone especially Benson.

Leah blushed when she noticed her husband’s intense gazes. She rolled her eyes and gave him a playful smack. “What are you looking at? We’re already an old married couple. It’s nothing you haven’t seen before!”

Benson chuckled, “You look gorgeous tonight, my dear.”

Nathan, Penny, and even Queenie found themselves laughing as a plain dealer like Benson Smith had finally learned how to give compliments to his wife.

But Leah was feeling shy from all the attention and her face blushed a darker shade of pink. “When did you learn to say these things? I’m telling you, flattery will get you nowhere!”

“Nathan and Penny have already given me their presents. Even Queenie drew me a picture of me and her together. Where’s your present then?”

Benson froze on the spot.

Their financial situation hadn’t been well in the past few years, and they had been living day to day.

He and Leah rarely celebrated their birthdays, let alone giving each other presents.

So he truly didn’t think of preparing a birthday present for Leah at all.
