The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1394

Adam sneered disdainfully, "Don't worry. In all my life of making deals, I never go back on my word."

Jeremy reached surreptitiously into his pocket and ended the active call. He then smiled at Adam and said, "Let's get on with it, then. The quicker we end this, the better."

Jeremy had shown tremendous resolve to avoid becoming Adam's son-in-law, so Adam rubbed his hands vigorously without any intention of going easy on Jeremy.

"Good. You had a better option, but you just had to choose the toughest one. You've made your bed, so sleep in it!"

Jeremy handed his coat to Tommy and instructed, "Go outside and wait for me."

Tommy expressed concern and warned earnestly, "Sir, he's renowned for his formidable strength. Taking a hundred blows from him could be fatal!"

Jeremy, however, remained unfazed. He had no intention of changing his mind and replied pointedly, "If she calls again later, tell her I'm fine and that I've gone to bed."

Tommy frowned. "But, Sir..."

Jeremy ignored his pleas and approached Adam calmly. "Please proceed."

Adam flexed his wrist mercilessly as he swung the bat at full force.

Jeremy groaned but remained standing. The first blow struck Jeremy's back, and his forehead began to sweat due to the intense pain.

Jeremy lay on the ground. His leg bones were broken, his body was covered in bruises, and blood stained his mouth. He gazed firmly at Adam and did not even turn to look at Sophia. His voice trembled weakly due to the pain as he said, "... Ten more to go. Please continue."

Adam had almost vented out all his anger after swinging 90 blows. However, when he witnessed Jeremy's unyielding demeanor, his pupils constricted, and he had nothing but admiration for his determination to face death rather than surrender. In that case, he would be happy to grant that request!

As soon as Sophia saw her father raise the bat again, she threw her arms around Jeremy and shielded him. She begged her father, "Stop it, Dad! Stop hitting him!"

Adam furrowed his brow and scolded his daughter. "Stand up, Sophia! I'm going to teach this wretch a lesson for letting you down. I'll find someone better for you in the future!"

Tears welled up in Sophia's eyes. She shook her head vehemently and refused to budge. "Didn't you promise me that you'd talk with him? Why are you beating him up? You're going to kill him! I'll join him in the afterlife if he dies!"
