Chapter 272 Nathan Is In Trouble

When Penny heard what Nathan said, she immediately recalled the grudges between him and the

Zabinskis. She too came to the realization that the men in front of them were sent by the Zabinskis,

with the sole intent of harming Nathan.

She became even more anxious and stood in front of Nathan protectively. "You can't abuse your

authority for a personal grudge! I won't allow you to take him!"

Henry's gaze turned cold. He scoffed, "Nathan Cross. Since you won't cooperate with us, then we'll just

have to use force to make you come."

He then ordered his men to apprehend Nathan.

Nathan gently pushed Penny out of the way and grinned at Henry. "No need. I'll go with you. I'm quite

interested to see what games you all are up to."

Penny was frantic. "Nathan?”

Nathan lowered his voiced and spoke to her gently. "Penny, don't worry. I'll be okay.

I'll even be back for dinner tonight."

Henry sneered at Nathan's assurances. You think you'll still be able to return for dinner after being

taken in by us?

Ha! Truth is you won't be eating any more dinners from now on. Because dead men don't eat!

Before Nathan left with Henry, he didn't forget to remind Kylie to look after her cousin and to not worry

her.

Kylie knew Nathan's true identity. But she also vowed to keep his secret from Penny.

So while she wasn't worried about Nathan's safety, she also didn't know how to assuage her cousin's

fears. Though frustrated, she still agreed to Nathan's request. "Alright, I will."

Nathan followed Henry into his car and they left the scene.

Penny could only watch as Nathan was being taken away. She started freaking out and quickly made

calls to others for help.

Alas, her own connections were limited.

She didn't know any influential higher-ups, and the lower ranking ones she did know were all too afraid

and powerless to do anything when they heard that Nathan was taken by the police from the district-

level.

Penny paced around anxiously and none of Kylie's assurances were able to comfort or calm her.

Just as Kylie was feeling helpless, a Passat sedan pulled up next to her.

The windows rolled down and sitting inside was a man in his forties.

This man had a receding hairline and a small pair of eyes. He gave one the impression of a shark —

vicious-looking, but also a little strange.

He was surprised to see Penny and Kylie.

"Hi, Ms. Smith!"

Penny was somewhat taken aback by the man, and it took her a few seconds to finally recognize him.

"You're Hector

Packwood, the vice-captain of the Investigation Unit in Alberesque!"

Hector Packwood gave her a big grin. "Ms. Smith remembers me! I'm so honored!"

As it turned out, a few years ago, when Penny became pregnant out of wedlock, the Smiths thought

that she was bringing shame to the family.

For quite some time, Sean Smith intended to introduce Penny to someone then marry her off.

And the man that Sean had arranged for Penny to meet was none other than Hector Packwood, a man

in his forties, widowed, and working as the vice-captain of the Investigation Unit.

Penny hadn't known it was a blind date back then and so she agreed to go to the restaurant to meet

Hector.

The two hadn't even met for more than ten minutes before Penny found an excuse to sneak off.

But the beautiful and alluring Penny had completely mesmerized Hector and left a big impression.

Penny originally wanted to tell him that she was okay then walk away from him.

But then she suddenly remembered that Hector was the Vice-Captain of the Investigation Unit, the very

one that just framed and taken Nathan away.

Maybe Hector can help me.

So, she quickly told Hector what had happened and pleaded for his help. "ViceCaptain Packwood, my

husband was framed. You're working in the same unit as them, so please help me! Help me save my

husband!" Updаted at Drамanоvels.cом

The gears in Hector's mind started turning when he heard Penny's pleas.

In his mind, Hector was already scheming ways to get Penny into his bed, but he still pretended to be

polite on the surface.

"Don't worry, Ms. Smith. I'll take care of it as if it were my own problem."

"Come. Let's meet up with Captain Lancaster first and replace out how serious your husband's problems

are. I promise I'll help in any way."
