Barry and Denise smiled at each other in satisfaction before pacing into the mansion.
Sean Smith, the head of the Smiths, was having lunch with his family at the time.
When the guards rushed into the dining room to report what had happened, Sean cursed, "Which b*stard is it? How dare he kill one of ours?"
"Who am I?" a person sounded outside of the dining room, "The name's Barry Jackson!"
The Smiths all turned towards the door in surprise as Barry and Denise walked in with a hundred men.
Sean quickly got up and whimpered, Tit's you, Mr. Jackson. Why didn't you inform us you were coming? We could've picked you up at the airport."
"Oh? Didn't you Smiths just warn the Jacksons and Griffins to never step foot in Channing ever again?" Barry snorted.
The statement made Sean even more surprised. "W-we didn't say anything like that..."
Barry pulled a chair and sat down with one leg resting on the table. "My sister was here yesterday to propose a marriage between our families. However, you have the guts to reject us and even humiliated my sister. Heck, you even warned us to never step foot in the South ever again. So here I am today to settle this matter."
It was only then the Smiths learned that Denise had been in Channing the day before and that the Jacksons had intended to force Queenie to marry into their family.
Sean quickly apologized to the Jacksons. He then dialed Benson's number and yelled into the phone at his son.
