Chapter 1393
âYou're a full-grown man. I'm sure you won't be knocked down by this. But if you don't want my
daughter, her future might be affected by hiding her marital history. She will be looked down upon
by her future husband. Do you know how big an impact this could have on a girl's life? And you just
shrug it off like it's nothing.â
Growing more impassioned, Thaddeus raised his hand, and a bat was immediately passed to him by
one of his men, who then stepped aside.
While swinging the bat in his hand, Thaddeus declared, âAs a father, I won't let anyone mess with
my daughter!
You say you want to compensate Sophia? Fine! Here are your two choices.
One, forget about other women, have a grand wedding with my daughter, and take care of her for
life..
Or take a hundred hits from me. If you can still walk out of here alive, I'll agree to let Sophia divorce
you.
Take your pick.â
Theo glanced at the bat in Thaddeusâs hand, his face expressionless.
Seeing his silence, Thaddeus's smile now held a hint of mockery. âWhat? Can't make a choice? Theo,
you're more of a chicken than I thought. You're neither willing to take responsibility for my daughter
nor brave enough to take a hundred hits for Ellinor. Is that it? And you claim to be responsible for
your wife and children?
If
you
don't have the guts, I suggest you simply choose to marry my daughter. I'll consider it water under
the bridge and accept you as my son-in-law. Also, I've got the lowdown on Ellinor. You can hide her
with the Howard family for now, but she can't stay there forever. There's plenty of time.
Besides, she'll have to go to the hospital to give birth, right? I swear, I'd blow up the hospital before
I'd let you two be together.â
Theo's frown deepened as he considered Ellinor's safety. He was clearly hit where it hurt.
He could protect Ellinor temporarily, but he couldn't always be by her side; there would be
moments of carelessness
She'd get pissed off eventually if he kept an eye on her 24/7.
Ellinor enjoyed her freedom; once she got fed up with being watched, she would find a way to
shake them off.
And Thaddeus International Corporation wasn't exactly a legitimate business, and Thaddeus was no
saint. They had all kinds of tricks up their sleeves.
Blowing up a hospital...
This notorious madman might actually pull it off. He would find some scapegoats to take the fall,
and Thaddeus could still walk away scot-free.
Theo's hesitation wasn't out of fear for the hundred hits, but worry that he'd be unable to rush back
within three days to be with Ellinor in the delivery room.
But compared to her future safety, this was a minor concern.
With that in mind, Theo's face grew serious, and he slowly took off his suit jacket. âAlright, I'll take
your hundred hits today. But you must keep your word. After this, allow Sophia and me to proceed
with the divorce and promise to never bother my family again.â
Thaddeus was stunned. He didnât expect that this young man would rather take a beating than take
responsibility for Sophia.
