CHAPTER 1417 MY REQUESTS ARE SIMPLE
The East, Mayberry City.
The Harbor family manor was brightly lit.
In the living room, the Harbor family Matriarch's expression was stony as she hissed furiously, "Can someone please tell me what happened!"
All around her, the rest of the Harbor family members and servants were seething in rage as well.
The Matriarch's son and also Fip's father, Noel, stepped forward.
His face was solemn when he spoke up, "Mum, I found out that the ones who injured Fip are a husband and wife pair from Channing. The husband is called Nathan Cross while the wife is Penny Smith."
The Matriarch narrowed her eyes and demanded coldly, "Tell me, why did they beat up my precious grandson?"
"Penny Smith is one of the Ten Most Inspiring Role Models of the nation. She started her business from scratch, and within two short years, Cross Group has managed to become the largest pharmaceutical company in the nation. Fip's admiration for such an entrepreneur caused him to extend an invitation to her to join the Elite Club. But not only was that woman an ingrate, but her husband had also accused Fip of flirting with her and allowed his blasted servants to cripple my poor Fip.”
Bang!
The Matriarch slammed her palm down on the tea table beside her, rattling the teacups on it.
"Outrageous!" she thundered.
The other people in the room shrank back slightly. They could tell the Matriarch -nicknamed the Iron Lady - was well and truly enraged this time.
In a low tone, Noel added, "What's even more infuriating is that after they crippled him and sent him back here, they said we had to keep a tighter leash on him!"
A murderous glint appeared in the Matriarch's eyes.
"Some people think just because they've earned a little wealth, they can do as they please. Noel, take care of this matter. You need to seek justice for Fip and let everyone know the Harbor family is not to be trifled with. Especially not by some upstarts who have the slightest bit of money to their name," the old lady ordered.
Noel answered loudly, "Don't worry, Mum. I'll gather some men tomorrow and personally head to Channing to get revenge for Fip.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
She nodded and instructed coldly, "My requests are simple. Nathan Cross broke both my precious grandson's legs so I want him to pay it back in double. Break his arms and legs and then severe all his tendons. I want him to be a cripple for the rest of his life. As for that b***h, Penny Smith, she has to become a servant for the Harbor family to atone for her sins." "Okay, Mum. I will do as you say." Meanwhile, at Riverside Garden in Channing.
Nathan was currently cuddling with his wife on their bed, and Penny spoke up worriedly, "Hubby, do you think the Harbor family will come after you since you hurt Fip so badly?”
Smiling, he reassured her, "You don't have to worry about it. The Harbor family is nothing in my eyes."
She could not help the bitter smile that pulled at her lips when she heard that.
Nathan, you might have been the General of the North, but the Harbor family is not your average family either!
The Harbors were one of the oldest and most prominent families in the East. Plenty of influential figures had come from their family, and they could be said to be the creme de la creme of the wealthy families.
She also knew that the daughter of the Harbor family matriarch was married to Boris Tucker, who was one of the Nine Great Cabinet Members.
With the end of the presidency term approaching, there were rumors that President Windsor's most popular candidate for the next president was Boris.
If that really happened, that would mean the Harbors would be the relatives of the next president!
Despite being the General, it was not like Nathan could go up against the future president!
Thus, nobody could blame Penny for being more than a little worried that Nathan had really stirred the hornet's nest this time.
Sensing her troubled thoughts, he gently asked her, "Don't you trust me?”
She met his gaze. Upon seeing the determination in his eyes, an inexplicable sense of trust and security welled in her. Burying her head in his chest, she replied blissfully, "Of course I trust you!"
He chuckled. "Alright then. Just leave this to me. You don't have to worry about a thing."
