A Replacement Bride

Chapter 176

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll never be able to forgive myself!" Then, with a stool in his hands, Charles threw it at Ryder, who let out cries of agony until he had lost all energy to even make a grunt of pain.

Joaquin didn't say a thing and merely watched silently until he deemed that Ryder had received just punishment, saying calmly, "That's enough, Mr. Fanning. Send him to the hospital."

"I'm really sorry about what happened today, Colonel Levisay. I've raised a beast due to the lack of discipline on my part. Don't worry. I'll teach him a lesson once we're home and never allow him to cause any more trouble in the future." A thin layer of sweat appeared on Charles' forehead, and he only dropped the stool in his hands after hearing Joaquin's words.

Ryder had run out of strength even to object, sprawled out on the floor and not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Meanwhile, after Charles said a few greetings to Joaquin, he carried Ryder and left in a hurry.

Ryder had received a severe beating this time, and he probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a few good months.

Once Tiara saw that Ryder had been taken away, she opened her mouth timidly. "Joe, I—"

Yet, she had just started speaking when Joaquin shot her a sharp, warning look that frightened her so much that she scrambled to hide behind Katherine.

"After Ryder had suffered so much, his family won't take this lying down. I'm currently suspended, and both of you will be in danger if the Flynn Family comes to seek trouble on purpose. Tia, immediately return to Grandpa's house and don't leave the house unless you must until this matter has blown over!" Joaquin said sternly with a stoic face.

Tiara knew she was in the wrong, so she dared not say anymore and merely nodded earnestly to his arrangement.

After a short moment of silence, Katherine cleared her throat and asked, "Ryder Flynn is useless now. What's the background of the Flynn Family?"

Joaquin's face twitched upon hearing that. "What did you do?"

Not daring to look him in the face, she answered, "Nothing, really. I just thought that since he's not a man, I'll remove some unnecessary parts so he can't harm others."
