Chapter 10 To Beg In Person

Back in the Cloud Palace, Nathan was enjoying his lunch together with Penny and her family, soaking in some wonderful, quality family time.

Suddenly, the Benson's phone let out a loud shrill.

He could not believe his eyes when he saw the number on the screen, “Wait, it's Samuel calling. Why would he call me all of a sudden?”

“My instincts tell me he must have called for the pill,” Nathan stressed out, with an indiscernible curl of his lips.

"What makes you think that you can just take it back now since you've treated it like dirt?”

"Don't think that it'll be so easy to take it back just like this. Come and beg us if you really want it!" With an angry grunt, she hung up the call.

The phone shrilled again the moment she hung up; it was Samuel again.
