When Sean and his family saw how Nathan was 'taken away', they were terribly anxious.
They rushed to Riverside at once.
Penny, Benson, and Leah were watching a cartoon with Queenie in the living room.
When Penny's grandfather arrived with his family in tow, looking panicked, she was stunned. "Grandpa, what happened? Why do you look so anxious?"
Sean stuttered, "Penn, something bad had happened. The soldiers had just taken Nathan away!"
What?
When Penny and her family heard the news, their faces paled drastically.
"Grandpa, what happened?" Penny asked worriedly.
Sean did not beat around the bush as he gave an explanation of everything that had happened.
When Penny heard Nathan was brought away by Tristan and Franklin's troops, she felt her head spinning and she almost lost consciousness.
However, she forced herself to stay calm.
Her face turned ghastly pale as she bit her lip bitterly. Nathan is in trouble. I need to hang on because he's waiting for me to save him!
When Benson and Leah found out their son-in-law had been arrested, they panicked at once and didn't know what to do.
Sean urged, "The only way left is to find someone to help us."
"Our family isn't backed up by any politicians or military leaders, so I can't help in saving Nathan."
"Penn, your company is doing very well. You must've known many influential men. Think of someone who can contact both Tristan and Franklin? We need that person's help."
Everyone gazed at Penny intently as she was their only hope.
Penny felt bitter because she didn't know anyone who knew Tristan.
