The moment he uttered those words, both Penny and Ava's eyes widened in horror and anger.
“Don't you dare,Webb!” Penny snarled. “You're going too far!”
Webb burst out laughing. “I'm going too far?
That's nothing new to me! No woman has ever managed to escape from my grasp!”
“Well, you're going to be disappointed today!” Penny said coldly. “I'll find out what happened to my husband from other sources. Goodbye!”
She got up to leave with Ava, only to be stopped by Webb's bodyguards as they rushed over to surround them.
A bodyguard with a scorpion tattoo grinned menacingly. “Hey, Ms. Smith, I don't think you
can leave yet.”
Penny turned around to glower at Webb. “What the hell do you want?”
Webb snickered. “Didn't you hear what I just said? I always get what I want! Did you really think you can leave without fulfilling my request?”
A cold glint flashed across Penny's eyes.
The last thing she wanted was to worsen her family's conflict with the Daviers and Goldsteins, and that was how she managed to keep her cool for the past few hours.
However, Webb had gone overboard with his requests, and she finally decided that enough was enough. “Aval” “Yes, Mrs. Cross,” Ava said.
“Teach them a lesson for me,” Penny commanded. “I want to know what happened to Nathan!”
“Yes, Ma'am!” Ava said with a smile. “We didn't need to hold back after all. I'll dispose of them for you!”
Ava knew that violence was not the answer to the issue, but it was necessary to punish the sinners involved.
She turned around to face Webb menacingly. “You have one last chance to apologize to Mrs. Cross and tell us what happened to Mr. Cross, you bastard!”
Webb gasped. Did she just call me a bastard?
As one of the most powerful individuals in Brimmopolis and the heir to the Goldstein family, he was accustomed to being showered in praises by the people around him.
Many were desperate to get into his good books.
