Chapter 40


    Chapter 40 Nichs Was Beaten Severely


    Nichs nodded and said, “I remember the password. Please wait for me. I have something to do.”


    After saying that, he turned and left.


    Nancy watched his back fade away. She didn’t know what he was going to do. But since he told her to


    wait for a while, he woulde back then.


    In that case, she just waited.


    Anyway, they made an appointment at 2 p.m.


    There is still plenty of time.


    Nichs almost ran all the way to Jacob’s room.


    Jacob was sitting on a wooden recliner with his eyes closed when he went there. Incense filled the


    room. Uncle Joe was standing by to take care of him.


    “Grandpa.”


    Nichs called out. Jacob opened his eyes and looked at him as expected.


    “You are here. Have a seat!”


    While Jacob finished speaking, Nichs unexpectedly knelt directly before him.


    “Grandpa, I’m sorry. I know what you mean. You don’t want us to divorce. I failed you.”


    “So, you are still determined to get a divorce?” Jacob asked straight away.


    Nichs knelt without saying a word.


    But there is only silence.


    “No wonder Nancy insists on divorce. Your attitude made everyone disappointed.”


    “Uncle Joe, help him stand up.” Jacob’s voice was stern and calm.


    Uncle Joe walked over, bent down, and held Nichs’ arm to help him stand up.


    Suddenly, Jacob took his crutch and hit Nichs.


    Jacob was very ruthless.

    Nichs’ entire back felt pain instantly.


    Seeing that he endured it without grunting or begging, Jacob became even more angry.


    He wielded his crutch and hit Nichs again.


    After two crutches hit, Nichs’ back was in burning pain.


    “Do you still want to divorce?” Jacob asked again.


    “I’m sorry, Grandpa.”


    Nichs was stubborn and insisted.


    He stood there, straight like a pine tree, without frowning. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to


    endure pain with all his strength.


    Jacob became more angry.


    He was so angry that he raised his crutch again to hit Nichs.


    Nichs looked at the crutch he raised and prepared to bear it.

    Uncle Joe rushed over and held the crutch. “Sir, you can’t hit him. If you keep beating him, you will


    break Mr. Sallow.”


    Jacob was furious and said, “I think his body is strong enough to endure the beating.”


    Uncle Joe looked at Nichs and shouted anxiously, “Mr. Sallow, please surrender. How can your body


    withstand such a beating?”


    “Uncle Joe, I know you are doing it for my good. I know Grandpa is very angry. If beating me will make


    him feel better, let him beat me.”


    Nichs’ harsh words made Jacob so


    gry that he was shaking all over.


    He pushed Uncle Joe away and struck Nichs with his crutch.


    This time, he hit very


    hard.


    Nichs suddenly leaned forward. He spitted out blood from his mouth with a muffled


    Soon, the red blood stained the carpet.


    “Mr. Sallow…” Uncle Joe rushed to help Nichs.


    He realized that Nichs’ back was all wet.


    grunt.


    But it wasn’t because of sweat.


    Instead, it was wet with blood.


    The red patch soaked almost the entire back.


    Uncle Joe raised his head and nced. Jacob was furious, and Mr. Sallow was stubborn. He didn’t


    want to give up.


    If this continues, he couldn’t imagine the consequences.


    Wait!


    Mrs. Sallow!


    The only one who can save Mr. Sallow now is Mrs. Sallow.


    Thinking of this, Uncle Joe helped Nichs and immediately went out to look for Nancy.


    After three consecutive beatings, Jacob felt tired. He put down his crutch and took a sip of tea.


    Then he looked at Nichs, “You just like your father. He left his good wife and sought another woman


    outside.”


    “Your grandma and I loved each other for life. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will go


    through it hand in hand. We are so close to each other and grow old together. How did we give birth to


    a bastard like your father?”


    “It’s true that if the parents misbehave, their child will be crooked too. He taught his beloved son. to


    be you, such an ungrateful person.”


    Nichs listened silently. He didn’t dare to say a word.


    He didn’t dare to refute.


    He did reject Nancy in his feelings.


    This is his fault.


    He couldn’t deny it.


    “Nichs, you run such a bigpany, our Sallowspany. You n strategies and make countless


    decisions every day. Now, you want to divorce? Have you ever thought about Nancy?”


    Nichs replied, “I thought about her. When we discussed the divorce agreement, I told her if she has


    property requirements, she can ask me, and I willpensate her as she wants.”


    Property? Jacob sneered.


    He looked at Nichs coldly, “Think about it. During these two years of marriage, has Nancy ever used


    your money? Did she care about the money you give? You thought that she wanted money, right?”


    “Not only money, houses, cars, jewelry, I can give her whatever she wants.”


    Jacob was so angry that his lips trembled, and he couldn’t speak.


    He raised his crutch and struck Nichs again.


    Nichs still stood upright without thinking of begging.

    “Nancy was alone, got divorced, and has no job. Her mother passed away many years ago, and her


    father…


    Jacob felt distressed and said, “We don’t need to talk about her gambling dad. It would be better if he


    didn’t exist.”


    “She has no rtives, not brothers, sisters, or grandparents. Have you thought about how she will live


    after the divorce? How will she bear other people’s gossip?”


    “Grandpa, after divorce, she is still a member of the Sallows. I will take care and protect her.”


    “Hmph!” Jacob sneered. At the same time, he felt deep frustration. “If Nancy has difficulties after


    divorce, do you think she will talk to you and ask us for help?”


    “Just forget it. I finally see that you can’t take care of Nancy even when you married her. So, just


    divorce then.”


    “But remember, Nichs. Nancy is my beloved granddaughter and the savior of the Sallows. Even if


    you are divorced, no one can hurt her.”


    “Grandpa, don’t worry. I swear, I will never allow anyone to hurt her.” Nichs raised his hand. and


    promised.


    “As for Madelline, just forget her. Even if you divorce Nancy, that woman will never be part of the


    Sallows.”

    “If you want to marry Madelline, step over my body first.”


    Jacob’s voice was so loud that even Nancy and Uncle Joe who just came over could heard it while


    standing outside.


    Grandpa, I promised to marry her. I have to fulfill my responsibility.”


    “What did you say?”


    Jacob was so angry that he immediately picked up his crutch and was about to hit Nichs.


    Suddenly, the door was opened. Nancy quickly ran over and jumped on Nichs.
