After Nathan heard about Penny and Benson's car accident, he hurried over instantly.
But since Penny and Benson weren't hurt, he handed the case to the police and insurance agent.
Then, he drove Penny and Benson home.
On the way back, Penny seemed disturbed.
Phineas' advice kept ringing in her head. If you marry a Cross,you'll take his luck away and channel them to your family. After that, he'll die a terrible death. You can't be this selfish. Leave your husband now.
Nathan glanced at Penny as he drove. It was obvious something was wrong with her.
Then, he gazed at his father-in-law, who was deep in thought at the back of the car.
Frowning, he wondered if they were shocked by the car accident or if something had happened earlier.
Nathan remained calm as he drove home. When he reached home, he went to the balcony and called Colin. "Find out what happened to my wife. She seemed shaken."
Soon, Colin found out about Penny and the fortune teller, Phineas. He reported everything to Nathan and concluded, "I've just found out Joseph Queen was the one who sent this fortune teller. He tried to scare Mrs. Cross to leave you so Joseph can take over."
Nathan's expression turned icy. "It's that boy-toy again. He kept scheming to get my wife. Does he have a death wish?"
Colin suggested, "Why don't I send our men to take down Joseph and Phineas?"
"Don't worry," Nathan said. "Here's what you have to do now...”
After giving Colin a few orders, Nathan hung up.
It was Saturday the next day, so Nathan and Penny brought Queenie to the
amusement park.
Penny could not sleep the entire night as she was laden with anxieties.
She seemed pretty exhausted today, and Nathan felt his heart ache to see her so distressed.
