Female Novel
Chapter 117 Standing Up For Benson Smith
An antique worth two hundred million?
Penny's face turned pale. Her company still owed hundreds of millions, they wouldn't be able to cough
up two hundred million even if they sold their house!
She told her mother not to panic, Nathan and she would head over to take care of the matter.
Nathan noticed that Penny's face had lost all color after her phone call.
So he furrowed his brows and asked her what had happened.
Penny explained the situation to him while fighting to hold back her tears.
Nathan answered calmly, "And here you had me worried it was something horrific. Everything will be
fine as long as no one was injured. Come on, let's go and check it out."
Nathan, Penny, and Queenie left the natatorium and headed over to the market.
They could see that a crowd had gathered outside the market.
Penny got out of the car and headed over, with Queenie in her arms and Nathan following right behind
them.
Arriving on the scene, they saw two damaged vehicles. One was the Mercedes-Benz E-Class that
Nathan bought for Benson, and the other was a Toyota Alphard minivan that was worth over one
million.
There were a lot of people loitering around and passing their comments, but Leah and Benson were
nowhere to be found.
Penny quickly gave her mother a call, only to find out that she and Benson had been dragged to an
auction house nearby by the other party.
After hearing so, Nathan, Penny, and Queenie quickly rushed over.
When they entered the auction house, they noticed a handful of fierce-looking men in suits standing
around the place.
When the men saw Nathan and his family walking in, one of them walked up to them. "Who are you?
We're closed for the day and we're not entertaining any more customers. Come back some other day,”
he growled.
Penny was just about to explain, when she heard intense shouting coming from one of the rooms. "Old
man! This Yuan dynasty porcelain is worth two hundred million!"
"If you don't pay me in full, I won't hesitate to kill you."
The faint sound of Leah's sobs could also be heard over the shouting.
Penny's expression darkened and she pushed the man in front of her aside, then ran towards the
direction of the yelling.
Nathan held Queenie's hand and quickly followed behind her.
When Penny entered the room, she saw an expensive-looking sandalwood box sitting on a table in the
middle of the room with shards of porcelain inside.
There was a man in a slicked-back hairstyle, a chunky gold necklace around his neck, and a Rolex on
his wrist, sitting comfortably in a leather chair. A few aggressive-looking men were standing around
him.
Benson stood in front of them looking pale and defeated.
And beside him was Leah who was weeping helplessly.
The two had sunk into a state of despair. But when they saw Nathan and Penny, it was as if they see
the light again.
Both of them called out Penny's name and tried to get to her, but were stopped by Slicked-back's
lackeys.novelbin
When Slicked-back saw Nathan and Penny, a flash of coldness swept over his eyes but he quickly
shook it off.
He looked at Nathan and Penny with a grave expression. "You're the old man's daughter and son-in-
law?"
"You've arrived just in time. Your father reversed his car into ours, which resulted in this antique
porcelain getting smashed. So now you need to pay us two hundred million in damages!"
Penny was feeling overwhelmed when Nathan spoke up calmly, "Since it's an accident, we should
hand it over to the police and have them investigate the accident. Only after they have figured out
which party is at fault can we decide who is ultimately responsible for the damages."
"So even if my father-in-law is at fault, we should still follow the proper procedure as required by the
law. Then, we need to have the damages assessed before we even discuss the amount of
compensation."
"The accident has just occurred and we don't even know who's at fault yet. So it seems unreasonable
for you to demand that my father-in-law pays for your damages."
