Flint still had on a fearful expression. He could no longer tell if this was a mere coincidence or if it had all been staged by Nathan.
When Penny saw that Flint had learned his lesson, she attempted to reconcile them, "Alright then, let's set this aside!"
When Flint heard her words, he glanced at the graceful Penny and thought, Was Ms. Smith behind this? It's possible! Ms. Smith is the president and owner of the Cross Group with a net worth of a few hundred billion. She knows countless influential men! She could make me bankrupt in minutes! Since Nathan is her husband, she has every reason to side with him!
The more Flint thought about it, the more he was sure he was right.
Nathan was just bluffing! He simply relied on Penny!
That made Flint furious.
If only if I managed to court Penny! I'll be able to get with such a rich beauty!
However, with what he had experienced earlier, he no longer dared to offend Nathan lest he angered Penny again.
He was filled with regret. If only I had another chance to showcase myself in front of Penny. She might change her mind about me and fall in love with me!
At this moment, the door was kicked open. Bam!
The sudden sound made all the parents and children jump in fright.
A few men dressed in suits strode in sternly.
The man leading the group looked middle-aged; he sported a crew cut.
He scanned the surroundings and demanded coldly, "Who is Nathan Cross and Penny Smith? My master wants to meet the two of you. Follow me!”
