Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1378

Tory narrowed his eyes as his expression turned serious. "What do you know?"

"What we know are almost the same."

Theo pulled me up from the couch and gave Tory a long, meaningful look. “You should take your time and think about why I’d say that."

"Can't you just give it to me straight?"

"Nope." Theo raised a brow. “I want to see what you can come up with and if it'd be the same as mine."

Tory was speechless.

Surely, something was wrong with this man.

Theo then led me away. I still had a lot of questions, but I decided to just follow him obediently.

As we descended from the top floor of the cabin, we saw a man and a woman exchanging blows. I had initially thought it was a lovers' quarrel that got out of hand, but when I took a closer look, I realized that it was Anthony and his girlfriend.

"You bitch! I feed you and I pay for your shit. But you turned around and crawled into Tory Zimmerson's bed. I'm going to kill you."

Anthony was yelling and swearing as he beat the woman.

The woman's swollen cheeks were a sign that she had been slapped repeatedly. She was battered and bruised.

The beautiful and charming woman had become disheveled in a blink of an eye.

She had tried to fight back in the beginning, but she eventually gave up. She just allowed herself to be beaten and yelled at. It seemed like it was not the first time Anthony had abused her.

Gambling addicts were prone to violence, especially when they were a scumbag like Anthony who would use violence on those who were weaker than him.

I could not bear to stand by and watch, so I walked up to them and tried to stop Anthony. I hissed in an icy tone. "If I were you, I'd find an obscure corner and stay there until the ship docks. You almost got my husband killed. I don't know when it’ll happen but I just might change my mind and get you to pay with your life. This woman is the sole reason you're still alive right now. Otherwise, you'd have already ended up in a shark's stomach. You can't even keep yourself alive. Are you proud of having to rely on a woman to keep you alive?"

My intervention caught Anthony by surprise. He had already lost his temper. My words pushed him off the edge, and he swung at me.

"What do you think you're doing?"
