Chapter 1395
Thaddeus looked at his daughter’s weakness with utter disappointment in his eyes. “Do you think he loves you? He’d rather take a hundred hits from me than be responsible for you! Why are you still chasing a man like this? If you’re with him, he’ll just go back and find other women.”
Sophia didn’t care about any of this now. She knew her father’s temper very well. Theo was in a real life-threatening situation.
“Dad! I don’t care! If you want to keep hitting him, hit me first!”
“Sophia, you really disappoint me.” Thaddeus looked at his daughter standing stubbornly in front of Theo and realized he could no longer swing the bat anymore. He was upset, but he had no choice but to put down the bat, compromise with his daughter, and save Theo’s life.
At this moment, Theo propped himself up on the ground. As he struggled to get up, he spoke with a firm, cold voice. “Mr. Thaddeus, are you tired? You still owe me ten more hits. Please make sure you finish.”
Thaddeus was about to put down the bat, but after hearing Theo’s provocation, his anger flared up again.
Did this man really think he could withstand his hits?
He now gripped the bat he had just let go of tightly again. Thaddeus fiercely said, “Sophia, get out of my way! If I don’t give him a good beating today, the reputation that I’ve built up over the years will be ruined!”
Now that her father was getting serious, Sophia knew she couldn’t dissuade him. She quickly turned to Theo. “Theo! Don’t confront my dad. He will really kill you!!”
Theo was unswayed and impatiently told Sophia to get out of his way and stop causing trouble.
Sophia was so anxious that tears began to well up in her eyes. “Theo, my dad has a bad temper. Don’t provoke him! Aren’t you scared of dying? I beg you…”
Theo didn’t look at her again and just provocatively stared at Thaddeus. “Bring it on!”
Thaddeus was also driven to the edge of his patience. He signaled his men to come over and take Sophia to one side.
A few of his men came over. Disregarding Sophia’s struggle, they hastily pulled her away.
As soon as Sophia left, Thaddeus swung the bat down with all his force and hit Theo mercilessly.
Theo fell to the ground as he spat out blood.
Sophia screamed in desperation. “Dad! Enough! Are you really planning to kill him? If you hit him again, I will cut off all ties with you!”
Although Thaddeus doted on his daughter, when his temper flared up, even she couldn’t stop him.
He ignored Sophia’s screams and continued to swing the bat at Theo.
Sophia screamed until Thaddeus’ current wife came.
She led a little girl in and was shocked after seeing the horrific scene in the

gym.
Thaddeus paused his beating when he saw his wife and little daughter come in. “Bertha, don’t interfere! I am going to teach this bastard a lesson. He actually had the guts to bully my daughter. He really thinks I’m too scared to mess with the Blanchet family, huh?”
Frowning, Bertha walked over and directly took the baseball bat from his hand. “Malloy! Have you forgotten what you promised me before? Do you still want to give me a peaceful life?”
Thaddeus was reminded of his promise. He was speechless and didn’t try to grab the bat back from his wife.
Bertha didn’t have time to think. She immediately ordered someone to call the doctor. “Quickly! Call a doctor for Mr. Blanchet!”
Thaddeus sighed with disappointment. “Hmph, he’s lucky today
