Benson and the rest were overjoyed. They insisted on knowing how the problem had been solved.
With no intentions to hide it from them, Penny told them everything that had happened. In the end, she said with a flushed face, "I lost a billion too. Fortunately, Nathan competed against Javion with his wits and courage, and he won everything back."
Benson exclaimed, "My son-in-law's the best. You actually won ten billion! That's impressive."
Leah warned, "Benson, I'm warning you now. You're not allowed to gamble from now on. If I find out you're gambling again, I'll divorce you on the spot."
Benson hurriedly reassured, "Leah, I won't gamble anymore. I was set up by Dad and his family, as well as Javion. You know I never gamble.”
Leah hissed, "Your dad is inhumane. I can't believe he's setting up his own family."
Then, Leah turned to the other three and reminded them, "Although Nathan was lucky to win the money back this time, you shouldn't gamble in the future. Do you hear me?”
The three chorused, "Of course."
Only then did Leah smiled in satisfaction. She stood up and said, "You haven't had your dinner, right? I'll heat up the food for you now.”
At the Smith family's estate, Sean's family and Louie's group had just heard of Javion's incident.
Complicated looks were displayed by Sean's family. They had cooperated with Javion to set Benson up in hopes of forcing Benson and his family to a dead end. That way, Penny would have no choice but to marry Javion.
However, Nathan had unexpectedly won the money back.
Ten billion!
How did Javion lose to Nathan?
He's the King of Casinos in the South. Is this what it means for a hunter to be hunted in the end?
Louie mumbled bitterly, "Javion failed miserably this time. Not only did he not force Penny and her family to a corner, but his club was also destroyed by Thomas Dunn. Moreover, they broke his arms and legs, and he was sent back to the Schulz family.”
He paused before continuing, "Sir is furious. He's been pressuring me with calls. I have to deal with Nathan in the remaining two days."
After listening, Sean and the rest quickly uttered, "The Smiths will listen to your instructions and do our best to cooperate with you."
As if electricity were about to shoot out of Louie's eyes, he muttered, "How dare Thomas help the evil? The first one I'm going for will be Thomas Dunn. Sean, after I've killed Nathan, your family will have to do their part in persuading Penny to marry the oldest grandson of the Schulz family."
Sean's family and Louie's men responded in unison, "Yes."
