    Chapter 406 Let Me Have Control of My Own Life


    “Fine. Remember what you’ve just said. If I find out that you’ve lied to us, I’m gonna break your f*cking


    leg!”


    The Sawyers were looking for Nichs, and so was Hayley, who couldn’t ept being treated like this


    by Nichs and wanted an exnation from him. Am I that bad that he’d rather resign as president of


    the Sawyer Group than marry me? She had his whereabouts investigated for a few days. However, the


    investigation yielded no results—or rather, Nichs had concealed his whereabouts in advance, having


    predicted long ago that his family wouldn’t give up after he left.

    After ending her phone conversation with her assistant, who had called to report to her on the progress


    of the investigation, Hayley clutched her phone tightly with a dark expression. Clenching her teeth, she


    mumbled bitterly, “Seems like no one can force this guy into doing what he doesn’t want to do.”


    On the other hand, Remus had been discharged from the hospital several days earlier. He had had


    Nichs’ whereabouts looked into and tried to contact him all this while, but he had been unable to


    reach him. He knew that he had been blocked on Nichs’ phone.


    The atmosphere in the Sawyer Residence was tense over the next few days.


    Seeing how sullen Remus looked, Andrew reminded him, saying, “Do you think Master Nichs would


    take Young Master Gregory to Miss Reinhart’s ce?”


    Remus narrowed his eyes. “I’d thought about this at first, but there was no news from there. And


    besides, Nichs can’t possibly have gone there.”


    Upon hearing this, Andrew pondered for a moment and realized what Remus meant. If Master Nichs


    had gone to Miss Reinhart at this time, he’d undoubtedly cause her trouble, he thought.


    When Remus finished having dinner afterward, he took out his cell phone and dialed Nichs’ number


    again. To his surprise, he got through to Nichs this time.


    “Grandpa.” Nichs’ chilly voice sounded through the phone.


    Remus was stunned for a moment. The next instant, he flew into a rage, barking, “Where are you right


    now? Come back at once!”


    “Have you agreed to my terms, then?”


    “What terms?”


    Compared with Remus, who was boiling with rage, Nichs was calm, his voice imperturbable. “Let


    me have control of my own life.”


    “Nichs Sawyer, are you threatening me?” Remus exploded with rage. He reproached, “As the


    Sawyer Group’s heir, you have no freedom in life to begin with. You should’ve understood that the more


    you gain, the more you have to give up.”


    The instant Remus said so, there was a brief silence on the other end of the line. A momentter,


    Nichs’ cold voice rang again. “You’re right, Grandpa. That’s why I’ve now resigned from my position


    as president to be able to do whatever I want to do.”


    For some reason, Remus suddenly had a bad feeling upon hearing this. “What do you want to do?”


    “I’m gonna rejoin the army.”


    “Say that again, Nichs! What do you want to do?!” questioned an infuriated Remus in a stern voice.


    However, he passed out from anger before he could hear Nichs’ answer. After all, by rejoining the


    army, Nichs was putting his life at risk. Who else would inherit the Sawyer Family’s business if


    anything were to happen to him? And most importantly, Nichs had taken Gregory away with him.


    Hearing the cries of rm that sounded through the phone, Nichs knew that Remus had passed out


    from anger once again. He felt sorry for Remus, but upon recalling thetter’s usual way of doing


    things, he hardened his heart and hung up.


    Once again, Remus was rushed into the hospital overnight for treatment. When he regained


    consciousness, he looked as if he had aged ten years and had one foot in the grave.


    Kieran couldn’t bear to see Remus like this.


    However, Remus’ mind was preupied with Nichs’ n to rejoin the army. Lying weakly in his


    sickbed, he clenched his teeth while saying to Tobias, Stefania, and Kieran, “Whatever method you


    use, you guys have to bring Nichs and Greg back. He mustn’t rejoin the army with Greg!”


    Upon hearing this, Kieran couldn’t help but step forward and persuade, “Grandpa, as long as you stop


    forcing Nichs into marrying a woman he doesn’t like, I’m sure that he’lle back with Greg.”
