Female Novel
Chapter 79 Still So High Handed
In a calm and determined manner, Nathan approached and sat on the sofa as though he was the
master of the house.
His eyes darted across the various pill bottles on the table before he looked towards Joseph Myers and
asked, "Are you surprised?"
"Fernando and his men...” Joseph wanted to ask about them but realized that it was inappropriate.
He immediately changed the topic and queried,
"What are you doing here?"
With a smile, Nathan responded, "I thought you'd wanted to ask where Fernando and his friends were?
Well, they are on the way to hell. Naturally, I came here to send you their way too. At least they won't
feel so lonely with you in that world."
As he heard Nathan's words, Joseph's face turned as pale as a sheet. An astonished and terrified look
crept onto his face as he quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie on the table and ordered, "Guards! Come to
the second floor now!"
Nathan snorted, "There's no need to look for them. They have all left."
Joseph's pupils dilated and his eyes widened in shock. He was a man who feared death and hence,
there were a dozen bodyguards protecting him.
How could Nathan deal with them so easily?
Nathan shot him a cold stare, as though looking at a prey waiting to be slaughtered. In a casual tone,
he said, "I gave you a warning that night at Juno Hotel. I said that if you ever lay a finger on my wife,
you would die a horrible death. Don't you remember that?"
"Nathan, how dare you kill me. Do you know who I am?" Joseph shouted at him. In fact, he had already
detected Nathan's murderous intentions and was terrified. This was merely an act and deep down, he
was extremely afraid of what would happen to him.
"I am Channing's top ten richest men. I have many friends, no matter in the underworld or in business.
I'm regarded as a guest even in the Mayor's home. How dare you kill me?" He continued.
"I swear, if you even lay a finger on me, you will never have a place in Channing. Do you want your
whole family to be destroyed and harmed?"
"Do you have anything else to say?" Nathan asked coldly.
Joseph's jaws dropped. Nathan's reaction was unexpected, especially since he had spent so much
effort trying to threaten him!
Standing up, Nathan tugged at his sleeves and told him, "Since you have no more death wishes, let's
send him on his way, Colin."
After leaving Joseph with these words, he turned around and left the room.
Just as he arrived at the stairs, Joseph's spine-chilling scream could be heard. After a loud snap and
crack, the scream stopped.
It was past ten when Nathan returned home.
Penny finally managed to coax her daughter to sleep and was doing Nathan's laundry.
While they washed normal clothes using the washing machine, undergarments were hand-washed.
All this time, Penny washed Nathan's undergarments personally.
Nathan observed the woman was who sweating profusely and washing his clothes. She was not even
aware that he had returned. Subconsciously, he let out a smile and a rare, gentle expression could be
seen in his eyes.
After a long while, Penny finally finished washing the clothes. As she was about to stretch, she spotted
Nathan, who was stood at the bathroom door, looking at her with a slight grin.
She exclaimed in shock and lamented with a slightly annoyed face, "When did you come back?"
"I just stepped in," Nathan replied with the same gentle smile on his face.
She spoke as she rinsed the clothes in cold water, "Why were you looking at me?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to," Nathan responded softly.
Her cheeks flushed upon his words. Biting her lips, she looked at Nathan, seemingly happy.
Nathan thought that this was a heartwarming scene, while Penny thought that he was trying to seduce
him.
After hanging the clothes, Penny asked him, "Oh, by the way, is everything alright now?"
Obviously, she was referring to the kidnapping and the accident in the afternoon.
However, she recalled that Nathan took her away right after she woke up.
She was unaware that the kidnappers were all dealt with and thought that they were still in a comatose.
Nathan replied casually, "I know a few friends from the Guards. They dealt with it quickly, so don't
worry."
Heaving a sigh of relief, she nodded, "That's good then."novelbin
Suddenly, Nathan remembered something and looked at her with concern, "I remember that your right
arm and leg were injured. Do you feel alright now?"
Penny shook her head, "It's not serious. I dare not tell Mom and Dad the truth earlier because I was
afraid that they would be worried. I will just apply some ointment on my own." "Let me help you,"
Nathan offered in a firm manner.
Widening her eyes slightly, she stuttered, "It's alright, I can do it myself."
"Let me help you. I'll go and fetch the ointment now," Nathan asserted in a domineering fashion.
He turned and rummaged through the cabinets for the ointment.
Meanwhile, Penny's cheeks were still flushed as her gaze was affixed on his back and she muttered to
herself, "This man is still so high-handed."
