Nathan replied coldly, "Who do you think you are to request for my apology? Now go away!"
Nathan ended the call instantly.
Everyone stared at Henry with a weird expression while Henry's eyes popped out of his head with astonishment.
It appeared Nathan couldn't care less and even humiliated Henry, despite knowing the latter's identity.
Henry's face was flushed, and his embarrassment had turned into rage. "This is ridiculous! I must teach Nathan a lesson!"
When Henry was enraged, there would surely be dire consequences.
With a grim expression, he instructed
Sean, "Gather every member of the Smith Family in Channing now. I want to have a family meeting to enforce our family law!"
Without delay, Sean sent people to inform each branch of the Smith Family to attend the emergency family meeting at their family home.
Upon receiving the notice, all the Smith family members rushed over immediately.
Benson and Leah turned up for the meeting too, and they were dumbstruck when they saw Henry.
This was because the Alberesque branch ranked the top within the Smith Family, while the Smith's in Channing were only an extended family.
In the eyes of Benson, the Smith's from Alberesque had always been superior and eminent.
Therefore, he did not expect to see the elder of the family coming to Channing.
He greeted Henry politely, "Good day, Mr. Smith. I'm Benson Smith from the extended family in Channing."
Leah followed anxiously, "Good day, Mr. Smith."
Henry pointed to Marco and Jacob with a stern face. "Just see for yourself. Your son-in-law broke my subordinates' right arm. How can you say it's a misunderstanding?"
Benson and Leah's eyes widened in disbelief.
However, they could not defend themselves without knowing the entire story.
Henry gave a loud snort and turned to ask a subordinate beside him, "According to the law of the Smith Family, how should we punish those who fail to teach their child to behave well?"
"Mr. Smith, if parents fail to raise a well-behaved child, and the child causes trouble subsequently, the parents shall be sentenced to five lashes."
The color drained from Benson and Leah's faces.
Henry narrowed his eyes at them and sneered, "Well then. Take Benson and Leah outside and punish them with five lashes each!"
