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 Nicholas, and so was Hayley, who couldn’t accept being treated like this

by Nicholas and wanted an explanation 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, Nicholas 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

Nicholas’ 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 Nicholas’ 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 Nicholas would

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

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

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

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

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 Nicholas’ number

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

“Grandpa.” Nicholas’ 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, Nicholas was calm, his voice imperturbable. “Let me

have control of my own life.”

“Nicholas 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 moment later,

Nicholas’ 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, Nicholas! What do you want to do?!” questioned an infuriated Remus in a stern voice.

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

army, Nicholas 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, Nicholas had taken Gregory away with him.

Hearing the cries of alarm that sounded through the phone, Nicholas knew that Remus had passed out

from anger once again. He felt sorry for Remus, but upon recalling the latter’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 preoccupied with Nicholas’ plan 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 Nicholas 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 Nicholas into marrying a woman he doesn’t like, I’m sure that he’ll come back with Greg.”
