Penny and her parents glared at Tory with fear and fury.
She clenched her teeth, took out the phone from her pocket, and called the cops.
However, to her utter surprise, the call couldn't go through.
It turned out that not only did Tory use Dip Turner's influence to command the police to not show up in Channing, but he also used some high-tech method to jam all the signals within the Channing Theatre.
This meant that all communication devices couldn't be used in the theatre because there were no transmission signals.
Besides that, all the exits of the theatre were guarded by menacing-looking men dressed in black, who were Tory's subordinates.
He had complete control of this area, and no one could make any contact with the outside world or leave the theatre without his permission.
Penny felt utterly despondent. She knew that there was no way that she could ask for help.
She stared at the Japanese' bodies littering the stage and Nathan, who was ready to fight The Kungfu Maniac.
She didn't hesitate anymore. With her jaw tightly clenched, she declared, "Alright, I'll sign the contract."
This sentence absolutely shocked Benson and Leah.
Cross Corporations was valued at a few billion, and its potential was unlimited.
And here, their daughter was willing to serve the extremely valuable company on a silver platter to some stranger. All that just to save Nathan!
Despite that, Benson and Leah didn't stop Penny.
They knew that if Penny didn't relent, Nathan would be murdered by The Kungfu Maniac, and he would be the seventh corpse in the theatre.
Tory smirked when Penny agreed to his proposition. He flashed a malicious smile and applauded. "Haha. Ms. Smith, you really are a loyal person. You treated the company like it was nothing for the sake of your husband. However, from the moment you tried to call the cops, you lost the right to choose."
