Chapter 118 I Will Only Give You One Day
Slicked-back's eyes widened when he heard Nathan's words.
He didn't expect him to remain calm or to be able to have such a clear and precise chain of thought.
He sneered, "You want to follow the law? Then we'll follow the law! But don't come crying to me when
you go bankrupt!"
He then whipped out his cellphone to make a call.novelbin
Not long after, two cops arrived.
The cops took a look at Slicked-back's photos of the accident, then headed to the scene itself to
investigate. They then determined that Benson was responsible for all the damages suffered by
Slicked-back, Harvey Babcock.
Penny and her parents' face turned pale when they heard the determination of the police. Their eyes
filled with despair and they felt like it was the end of days for them.
Harvey Babcock smugly waved the cops' result slip in his hand and sneered at Nathan and his family.
"The cops have determined that you are fully responsible for all damages. What else do you have to
say now?"
"Cough up my two hundred million right away. Otherwise you'll find out why they call me the T-Rex."
Nathan frowned at T-Rex's words. He stated coldly, "You keep saying that the antique is worth two
hundred million. I'm sure you won't mind if I take a shard and have someone do an appraisal?"
T-Rex chuckled coldly, "This very antiques auction house is the largest and most respected appraiser
of antiques in the whole of Channing. How dare you question the authenticity of my porcelain?"
"Very well," he huffed, "Take a shard then. And when you're done, you can finally stop trying to find
ways to worm yourself out of this.”
T-Rex picked out a small porcelain shard and handed it over to Nathan.
He then proceeded to warn Nathan and his family. "I'm only giving you one day to get it appraised and
to compensate for my loss. If I don't get my two hundred million by tomorrow afternoon, then you all
better watch out."
His cruel eyes swept over Nathan's family nonchalantly.
Queenie, startled by T-Rex's behavior, quickly tucks herself behind Nathan.
Nathan's expression darkened but he controlled himself and led Penny and her parents away.
When they arrived home, Penny hurriedly inquired about the details of the accident.
Benson's hands were still trembling. Then, he explained in a shaky voice, "Your mother and I had
finished with the grocery shopping so we went back to the car. I was reversing the car out when
suddenly a car just appeared behind me! I couldn't hit the brakes in time and I rammed into
them.”
"They got out of the car and immediately grabbed me, accusing me of not just crashing into them but
also causing the antique in the car to shatter."
Nathan furrowed his brows. He felt like the accident hadn't been that severe.
Logically speaking, the impact from reversing the car wouldn't have been strong enough to cause the
antique to shatter.Something doesn't smell right.
Nathan called for Colin to send the shard of porcelain off for appraisal.
That night, Colin called back to inform Nathan that their experts had determined the shard to be
authentic.
This result took Nathan by surprise.
Penny and her family just sat there, their faces ashen and devoid of all hope.
Nathan noticed their demeanors and softly consoled Penny, "Don't worry. This is just a small matter.
Leave this to me and I'll take care of it tomorrow."
Penny could feel her heart turn all warm and fuzzy with Nathan's words.
However, even though Nathan was great at fighting, she knew that this wasn't something that could be
resolved with fists.
She urged Nathan not to act rashly, while also secretly making plans to go to her uncle for a loan.
She wanted to make sure that her father survived this crisis, even if it meant mortgaging her company.
