Nathan bent down, carried his daughter, and smiled, "Don't worry, Papa and Mama have gone through a lot to be together. No one can break us apart."
Queenie trusted Nathan and responded with a serious nod.
The moment Nathan turned his attention to Vincent, his smile vanished. "The Black clan is indeed powerful. You can just come in and destroy someone's marriage. You ordered us to get a divorce. What if I refuse to cooperate? What can you do?"
Victor squinted and smirked, "Refuse? The Black clan has spoken; you have no say in this matter."
"I can give Channing's Civil Affairs Bureau a call and get them to annul your marriage with Penny Smith right away. I can also make a call, wipe out all your records, and turn you into an unregistered citizen!"
Upon hearing Victor's words, Sean and the rest exchanged looks of confusion.
Penny's and her parents' faces turned pallid. Worry shone in their eyes.
They knew the Black clan was capable of annulling a marriage or wipe out a person's records completely.
Yet, Nathan remained calm and responded, "I don't believe you!"
Vincent was totally pissed off. It was as if Nathan was challenging their authority.
He took out his phone and made a call. "Tell Channing's Civil Affairs Bureau and the Registration Department to annul Nathan Cross's marriage with Penny Smith. Also wipe out all his records and turn him into an unregistered citizen."
Oh no!
Penny's family panicked.
Sean's family, too, had a mixed reaction to the dramatic turn of events. After all, they had reconciled with Penny's family.
Nathan had inherited the Cross family, and Penny was the Chairman of Cross Group.
Deep in their hearts, they didn't want the divorce or for Penny to marry Peyton.
