When Samuel heard Jerry's words, he flattered, "Hah! Withyougunning after them, Mr. Zabinski, they'll be dead for sure!”
A pleased look crossed Jerry's face but what came out of his mouth was, "Even though I don't think Cross and Dunn are that great, the fact of the matter is, whenever anyone declares their ill intentions toward them, they get arrested. Which means I'll have to be secretive and operate in the dark."
Samuel could not wait for the Zabinski family to get rid of Nathan. To him, that damnable man was the reason for the Smith family's current situation.
"May I ask what you plan to do, Mr. Zabinski?”
Jerry tossed a photo at the man in reply. "Is this woman from the Smith family?"
Picking up the photo, Samuel took a glance and saw it was Penny. "She's my niece. However, we exiled her family a long time ago. The Smith family has nothing to do with her now."
Jerry's lips curled into a smirk as he said, "Really? Very well. She's quite pretty and I like her."
Samuel and the rest of the men were taken aback by his words. It was several beats before they remembered another important aspect of this man.
Jerry Zabinski was nicknamed the Player because he was notorious for sleeping with a lot of beautiful women. Once he set his sights on a woman, he would do anything to get her. Anything.
There was a wicked smirk on his face as he continued, "I thought I should tell you in advance, seeing she's your niece. However, I won't have to hold back anymore since she has nothing to do with the Smith family."
"In less than two weeks, I'll make sure Cross and Dunn die suitably horrible deaths as Penny Smith screams in pleasure beneath me."
It was afternoon by the time Nathan reached home.
As it was a Sunday, Penny and Queenie were both at home.
When the little girl spotted Nathan, she sprinted over on her short legs, calling out a sweet 'Papa'.
