Chapter 141
Sebastian Smith slowly woke up from his deep slumber while in the hospital.
Samuel and Paul Smith immediately rushed to his side. “Uncle, you’re awake!”
Sebastian Smith took one look at them and almost fainted again as the memory of calling Hudson Quarrington at the restaurant hit him like a rock.
“No need to worry, Uncle. Nathan Cross got his hands on Mr. Quarrington’s number by chance. Mr. Quarrington doesn’t know him,” Samuel Smith said.
Sebastian Smith wasn’t convinced. Hudson Quarrington wasn’t the kind to hand out his personal phone number to anyone he meets.
Only a few higher-ranking officials and his family knew what his phone number was as it was top secret.
Even if he had to give a phone number to the public, it would be his office phone number, and never his personal one.
Sebastian Smith couldn’t help but wonder if he had underestimated Nathan Cross. He might be on good terms with Quarrington, even if he wasn’t part of the nobility.
Besides, he had been highly disrespectful to Quarrington during the phone call, and Quarrington could retaliate by digging out every detail about his past with a single command.
He would definitely be suffering once he gets back to work.
Sebastian Smith waved his hand at his grandnephews to chase them out of the room. He needed some quiet time.
That night, Sebastian Smith received an investigation notice from the Grand Council.
He rushed back to the capital to assist with the investigation, not even stopping to bid farewell to the Smiths.
...
Back at the Smith family mansion...
Sean Smith’s face was filled with rage as he stared at Samuel and Paul Smith.
“What is going on? Why did your uncle leave without even saying goodbye to us? What have you’ll done?” Sean Smith asked, fuming.
“It’s Penny Smith and her family’s fault! Uncle left because Nathan Cross was getting on his nerves,” Paul Smith answered indignantly.
“We wanted to get some benefits for our family from Uncle, but that plan has gone down the drain now,” Samuel Smith added.
Sean Smith only got angrier. “Samuel, go to Benson’s house and force him to apologize, or else he’ll have to deal with the consequences.”
Samuel Smith immediately rounded up his bodyguards and rushed to Riverside Garden to argue with Penny Smith and her family.
However, just as his car rounded a corner at Novel Street, a van with no car plate number popped out of nowhere and screeched to a halt before them.
Before he could even curse at them, a bunch of men armed with guns alighted from the van.
They smashed the windows of Samuel Smith’s car and pointed their guns at the passengers. “Don’t move! We’ll shoot you if you do.”
Samuel Smith was terrified, but he put up a brave face and yelled, “Who are you? You have the audacity of you to attack me! Do you even know who I am?”
A suit-clad man with a suit walked over to him and smiled. “You must be Samuel Smith. Our boss wants to see you, so you either come down yourself, or we’ll be dragging your dead body to him.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Samuel Smith raised his hands and alighted obediently.
He was immediately swept into the van, which sped off from the place.
The man in a ponytail and the gunners glared at the bodyguards inside of Samuel Smith’s car. “Don’t call the police, or you and your families will suffer.”
After that, he left the scene together with his men.
