After Henry said that, four of his subordinates from Alberesque came forward and dragged Benson and Leah out of the door forcefully.
Another two subordinates took out two leather whips and held it in their hands.
The core of the leather whips was made of steel wire and were specially used for punishment. Usually, a strong man could bear up to ten lashes.
Nevertheless, it would take only five lashes to kill a weakling like Benson and Leah.
Their faces were as pale as a sheet. They were so appalled that they forgot to resist while being dragged outside.
Suddenly, Sean stepped forward and said, "Hold on, Mr. Smith.”
Henry lifted his hand and gestured his subordinates to stop, then he asked impassively, "Old Master, would you like to say something?"
Sean pleaded, "Benson and his wife are indeed at fault and deserve punishment. Penny and Nathan are heinous because they have hurt Mr. Smith's subordinates. But I hope that Mr. Smith can give them a chance to atone for their faults since we're a family."
Henry's eyes squinted. "How can they atone for their faults?”
Sean answered, "I'll call Penny here, so she can transfer half of the Cross Group's shares to the Smith Family. This will be her contribution to our family and the atonement for her family's faults. What do you think, Mr. Smith?"
Henry nodded in agreement. "Since Old Master has interceded on their behalf, I'll give Penny an opportunity to make amends for her family's faults. Please call and ask Penny to come over now. She and her family shall be spared if she's willing to give us half of the Cross Group's shares. Otherwise, I'll punish her as well."
Meanwhile, in the CEO office of Cross Group.
Penny was fast asleep at her desk when her phone rang.
