"Hubby!" Penny's voice cracked when she saw Nathan.
When Kylie saw Nathan, she immediately clapped in exuberance. "Yes! My brother-in-law is here! You Griffins are going down now!"
Nathan's timely appearance resembled a lifeline to Sean and his family, and their dejection morphed into joy.
However, their joy was short lived.
They realized that Nathan had come alone.
Their hearts instantly dropped to their stomachs as they thought to themselves: This is it. This is the end of us. Everyone knows how powerful the Griffins are. Nathan didn't even bring reinforcements, and Thomas Dunn is nowhere in sight. We'll surely meet our end today.
Penny, Kylie, Benson, and Leah who was carrying Queenie, all had surprise sprawled across their faces the moment Nathan arrived.
Sean turned towards him with worry and a hint of accusation in his eyes, then asked in a hushed tone, "Nathan, didn't you go to get help to fight against the Griffins? Where's the help?"
Sean's voice wasn't loud, but Damon, Denise, and the rest had heard it as clear as day.
The corner of Damon's lips lifted into a mocking smile.
Denise threw her head back laughing. "Hahaha! Get help to fight against us Griffins? Joke of the year.”
She calmed down a little before saying, "In the whole of South, how many dare to challenge the Griffins? So, in a small city like Channing, who would be bold or stupid enough to go up against us?"
She cast a derisive glance towards all the Smiths and snarked, "You Smiths paid a lump sum of money to hire two underground overlords, Gus Jenkins and Cooper Fink were it? But they were finished off by the Griffins anyway. So, do you think anyone would dare to help you now?"
The Smiths turned ashen when they heard this.
Although Denise's words were arrogant, they couldn't deny the fact that she was speaking the truth.
In the whole of Channing, no one could help them.
They were really done this time around.
Damon's eyes strayed towards Nathan. He knew that his younger brother was killed by Nathan.
