Chapter 1418 We Are Proud Of Him


    The next morning.


    Nathan was eating breakfast with his family when the doorbell rang.


    Benson went to open the door, revealing his estranged older sister and sister-inw, Lily Smith and


    Matthew Marley.

    He eximed in surprise, "Lily, Matthew, what brings you here? Pleasee in."


    Lily had never really been on good terms with her father, Sean. That was why after she married into


    the Marley family from the East, she had basically cut off all contact with the Smiths.


    Their sudden visit today came as a happy surprise to Benson Smith and his family.


    It had been years since Benson had seen or heard from his sister, yet she had arrived empty-


    handed this time.


    She and Matthew walked into the living room, ncing around all the while. Noting how well-off her


    brother and his family were, she said in a strange tone, "Oh wow, Benson. It looks like you''re doing


    pretty well. This is a far cry from the doghouse you used to live in."


    "This is all thanks to my daughter and son-inw," Benson replied honestly.


    At that moment, the rest of the people in the house came into the living room.


    Benson was quick to introduce Lily and Matthew to Nathan, "Nathan, this is my older sister and her


    husband. You and Penn can call them Aunt Lily and Uncle Matthew."


    Once more, Lily spoke oddly, almost rudely, "So you''re the jinx my brother epted into his family?"


    Ever since she came inside the house, she had been rather impolite. Whatever that came out of her


    mouth was nasty and rude.


    Nathan and Penny frowned while Benson felt embarrassment well in him.


    Nathan was the General of the North, a hero in the army. Thus, calling him a jinx was one of the


    biggest insults out there!


    Feeling quite protective of this son-inw of his, Benson rified, "Lily, Nathan is no jinx. He''s


    actually very outstanding, and we''re all very proud of him."


    Acting like they were the owners and not guests, Lily and Matthew sat down on the couch


    imperiously. They reached out to grab some of the peanuts set out on the table, tossing the empty


    shells on the floor carelessly. There was an ugly sneer on her face when she stated, "Outstanding?


    He''s in hot waters now, and your family is in dire straits, yet you''repletely oblivious to it!"


    Benson and his family were stunned to hear that.


    He hurriedly questioned, "Lily, what do you mean by that?”


    She scoffed then looked at Nathan and Penny when she replied, "You can thank your daughter and


    her husband for that. They broke the legs of Fip Harbor, the young master of the Harbor family. The


    Matriarch was absolutely incensed and has sworn to destroy all of you!"


    What?


    Benson and the rest paled considerably at her words.


    In a quavering voice, Penny asked, "Aunt Lily, are you serious?"


    Snorting, the older woman answered, "The Matriarch has already sent Mr. Noel toe and teach


    you both a lesson. They should be arriving in Channing today. Do I look like I''m joking?"


    Her eyes took on a sly gleam before she said, "Your uncle and I are here precisely forthat reason.


    He''s amon guest at the Harbor household and has a bit of leeway when ites to talking to


    the Matriarch. When he heard about how they wanted toe after your entire family, he kept


    begging for mercy on your behalf. It took a lot of effort on his part before she agreed to lighten the


    punishment."


    "What does she want now?" Benson queried.


    Matthew coughed lightly before stating, "Due to my valiant efforts, she''s decided on only punishing


    Nathan and Penny. Everybody else not involved in the incident will not be affected. She wants all of


    Nathan''s limbs broken so that he bes a cripple for life. Penny, on the other hand, has to


    be a servant to the Harbor family. She needs to look after Young Master Fip to make up for her


    wrongdoings."


    What? They want Nathan''s limbs broken and Penny as their servant?


    Penny and the others looked upset at the news.


    Lily narrowed her eyes. "Keep in mind that their original n was to destroy your entire family, and it


    was only because of us that the Matriarch decided to have mercy. This is already the best


    punishment you could hope for. Since we helped you so much, we expect some repayment from


    you."


    At that, a myriad of expressions spanned their faces.


    "No wonder you suddenly decided to appear after more than a decade of not keeping in contact.


    What a couple of greedy money-grubbers! Sorry, but we don''t need you to beg for mercy on our


    behalf. The Harbor family is insignificant in my eyes, so please leave!” Nathanmented coldly.


    Lily and Matthew were obviously taken aback and furious at Nathan''s words.


    They had thought they would advise Nathan to self-mutte and for Penny to proactively head to


    the Harbor family manor. They hoped that by doing so, they would be able to curry favor with the


    Harbors. Of course, they also nned on using this opportunity to ransom some money from Penny


    and the rest.


    They had most definitely not expected Nathan to refuse their help and disrespect the Harbors so.


    Furious, they stormed out of there while


    cursing Nathan.


    Right before they stepped out the door, Lily snarled, "You foolish idiots who don''t know your own


    ce! Mr. Noel is going to be here soon, and I can''t wait to see how you face your death!"
