Nathan narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Zabinski?"
T-Rex had nothing more to lose after selling his master out, so he decided to just bite the bullet. "The oldest of the Zabinski family, Jerry Zabinski."
"Like me, Novem was a follower of the Zabinski family. But he had a higher ranking and he was also the spokesperson for the Zabinski family in Channing."
"Your killing of Simon had greatly affected the family's profit, so Mr. Zabinski wished to settle the score with you."
Nathan's mouth twitched upwards, "Settle the score with me?"
"That's right. He said I should have some fun with you, the fatal kind of fun. He also said..."
"Said what?" frowned Nathan.
T-Rex decided to go all out. "His nickname is the Player because he likes hooking up with all types of beautiful women. He's got his eyes on Ms. Penny, and he wants her to climb into his bed willingly so he can have his way with her."
Nathan's eyes narrowed into slits and his voice turned deathly cold. "Bastard!"
A sense of dread started to creep into Nathan. He took out his phone and gave Penny a call, but there was no answer.
His face fell before he quickly called his mother-in-law.
When the call went through, Leah spoke in a hushed voice. "Penny told me not to tell you. She went to the Smiths to ask her uncle for a loan after you left."
Nathan hung up the call and turned to Thomas. "We need to get to the Smiths right away!"
Penny had summoned all her courage to drive to the Smith residence even when she was aware that there was a very good chance they would slam the door on her face.
And yet, it seemed like her uncle and his family had been expecting her.
Indeed, they welcomed her.
When she walked into the living room, she noticed that only Samuel, Paul, and a few others were there. But her granddad, Sean, was nowhere to be seen.
Penny quickly cut to the chase and told them the reason for her visit.
Samuel grinned widely. "Penn, we are family. Even though your granddad kicked your family out then, you will always be my niece.”
"The loan is not that big of a deal either."
"But you're asking for two hundred million. Our companies have been at a loss recently, so we don't have that kind of money.”
Penny had more or less been expecting such a response from her uncle.
She was already feeling pleasantly surprised because Samuel wasn't insulting her like before.
