Chapter 59 A Tyrant


    Chapter 59 A Tyrant


    La nced at Jacob''s stern face. He didn''t like to expose his rtionship with Avery to the public,


    especially since they had already divorced. Was it Nichs''s act of drinking on her behalf that


    unnerved him?


    La red at the troublemaker. It seemed that divorce was not enough. She was still the one in


    Jacob''s heart.


    Nichs found himself in an awkward situation. The room fell silent, and no one dared provoke Jacob


    at such a moment.


    He understood Jacob''s intentions. The man wanted him to know his limits and give up on Avery.


    If it were someone else, he would have to agree under Jacob''s threat, but Nichs''s mind was filled


    with Avery''s smile. No one knew that he fell in love with her at first sight.


    Back then, she was radiant and full of life, like the morning sunshine.


    Unfortunately, at that time, he was busy graduating and preparing to study abroad, so he buried his


    feelings deep inside his heart. When he returned to the country, he learned that she had dropped out of


    school and married someone else. When he saw her again, she had lost the vitality she had before.


    She was like a withering tree, drained of its nourishment gradually approaching death.


    She had finally gotten divorced, and he wanted to be with her, even just for a short time.

    As a man who had always followed the rules and conventions, Nichs had never pursued his desires.


    For the first time, he ignored Jacob''s threat and forged forward. His eyes were clear and filled with


    determination.


    "It''s not up to you to determine whether I am worthy or not. Your fiancée is by your side, and the one


    you should pay attention to is her. Regardless of whether Avy will ept me or not, I will protect her


    and never hurt her like her ex-husband did."


    With that, he tilted his head back and finished Avery''s remaining drink in one gulp. He ced the ss


    on the table with a thud and held Avery''s hand. "It''s gettingte. I''ll take Avy home and leave you guys


    discussing business."


    Isabe itched to p her hand and cheer for Dr. Lewis.


    Avery knew very well that Nichs''s actions were only adding fuel to the fire. If she followed him to


    leave, the Lewis family would face a catastrophe.


    She wanted to stay, but Nichs, despite his refined appearance, was physically strong. He easily


    pulled her away.


    She looked at him with concern. "Nic, you..."


    Nichs gave her a gentle nce and put his index finger to his lips, signaling her to keep quiet.


    Until they disappeared from the private room, Avery didn''t dare to look at Jacob''s expression. She


    could imagine it and said anxiously, "Nic, you shouldn''t have challenged him. He''s not someone to be


    messed with. You were lucky to survive that car ident. You know my situation, and I can''t..."


    Nichs took hold of her other hand, his expression softening. "Avy, I know. I know everything. I''m an


    adult, and I know exactly what I''m doing. Although Jacob is temperamental, he is not a tyrant. Even if


    he is angry, he will onlye after me rather than harm my family. I had thought about the


    consequences before saying that."


    Avery furrowed her brows, wanting to exin that Jacob wasn''t the person outsiders perceived him to


    be.


    At least, in the past, he would go crazy about things that concerned her. Once, a senior student


    blocked her way in ane and confessed his feelings for her. When she rejected him, he got physical


    with her.


    The next day, she heard that the senior student had fallen from a building after getting drunk, resulting


    in a gruesome death.


    His family med her for the incident, caused a scene at school, and pped her.


    A few dayster, she heard that the house of the family had a fire and that their bodies were lined up in


    the funeral parlor.


    At first, she thought it was just a coincidence, but shortly after, she discovered that Nic had been using


    some powder to nourish his nts. Curiosity led her to investigate, and when she heard it was ashes,


    she was shocked.


    That was when she realized the ashes belonged to the exterminated family.


    Jacob was such a ruthless person. If he weren''t a tyrant, there would be no tyrants in this world.
