Penny had an awkward expression on her face.
Nathan scowled, "So what if you own a factory. Does that make you rich?"
Flint held up two fingers and scoffed, "I'm not very rich; my net worth is but two hundred million! In any case, I'm a hundred times better than trash like you!”
Nathan nodded and took out his phone to make a call. He warned Flint, 'Til make you a beggar in ten minutes."
What? Flint's eyes widened.
He then laughed, "Who do you think you are? You'll make me a beggar in ten minutes? I'd like to see you try!”
At that point, not only Penny felt embarrassed, but all of the other parents were also feeling awkward as well.
Time ticked by; ten minutes would pass soon.
Flint glanced at his watch and was about to tell Nathan time was up when his phone started ringing.
The man in charge of his factory had called.
Flint had a bad feeling as he answered the call.
The man in charge sobbed, "Boss, who exactly did you offend? Our factory has gone bust!"
Boom!
That piece of news was a bolt from the blue to Flint.
He was stunned.
