Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1177: If He Can’t Have Her, He’ll Destroy Her

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1177: If He Can’t Have Her, He’ll Destroy Her

Mort Thorne furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected so much to have happened during his absence. No wonder she was so emotional and had lost so much weight. No wonder she clung to him so tightly, repeatedly saying how much she missed him.

Mort Thorne felt deeply guilty. She was such a sweet girl, never willing to tell him anything, always bearing things alone.

He should have known sooner and stayed by her side earlier.

"Leave Yuric Thatcher to me," Mort Thorne said in a low voice.

Leah Thorne’s eyes brightened. Her brother was finally taking action.

In fact, dealing with Yuric Thatcher was easy, but this matter concerned Jodie Young and the relationship between the Yangs and the Thatchers. Everyone was wary, afraid to act rashly for fear of inciting Jodie’s resentment.

Now that Mort Thorne was stepping in, Leah Thorne was confident. She believed her brother could handle this matter well.

...

Yuric Thatcher had been sitting in Jodie Young’s hospital room for a long time, expressing concern. Even the nurse praised Yuric for being more filial than a real son.

This was exactly the effect Yuric wanted, allowing him to estrange Jodie Young from Dianna Hollis. It would be best if he could get Dianna; if not, no one else should have it easy!

Yuric Thatcher swaggered out. As he reached the corner, a large hand suddenly emerged from the darkness, pulling him in.

Yuric Thatcher couldn’t stand properly and staggered. A push sent him sprawling against the cold wall, making him look wretched.

"Who?"

"Who do you think I am?"

Yuric Thatcher’s pupils constricted as he realized who it was; it was Cain Shaw!

"Cain... Cain Shaw, how did you get out? Were you... bailed out?" Yuric never expected Cain Shaw to be free.

Cain Shaw grabbed Yuric Thatcher’s collar, his expression cold and sinister. His thin lips pressed into a straight line, "You don’t need to worry about how I got out. You should be thinking about how to escape from me."

As he spoke, a cold gleam flashed in Cain’s hand, revealing a sharp knife. He pressed the blade against Yuric Thatcher’s neck.

Being the Crown Prince of a noble family, Yuric Thatcher had never been treated so roughly, let alone had a knife pressed against his neck. His legs trembled, his voice quivered in fear, "Cain... Cain Shaw, what are you doing?"

"Taking your life!" Cain Shaw’s features were obscured in the darkness, looking fierce and terrifying.

Cold sweat dripped from Yuric Thatcher’s forehead. "Cain Shaw, you’re insane. Killing is illegal. You’re already a convict, and you dare to act so brazenly! Put down the knife!"

Cain Shaw snorted coldly, "If you know I’m a desperate man, what am I afraid of?"

"..." Yuric Thatcher was too scared to speak. That’s right, someone with nothing to lose fears nothing. Now, Cain Shaw had no scruples and might really kill him.

"Cain... Cain Shaw, don’t you dare! Don’t you realize if you kill me, Jodie Young will despise you, and you and Dianna Hollis will never be together in this lifetime?"

"Yuric Thatcher, I heard you’ve caused quite a bit of trouble while I was away, always stirring things up. You not only spread rumors labeling Dianna Hollis as a homewrecker but also constantly instigated in front of Jodie Young. Ha, I used to think you were useless, but now I see I underestimated you."

Yuric Thatcher already felt Cain Shaw’s naked contempt. Indeed, under Cain Shaw’s powerful presence, he wasn’t even qualified to be an opponent.

He used to admire this uncle by marriage, but now he realized he was just a fool.

The repressed anger in his heart burst out, and Yuric Thatcher said coldly, "Yes, it was all me. Cain Shaw, you and Dianna betrayed me first. I really don’t understand what I lack. Why would she rather be the other woman than marry me? Since I can’t have her, I’ll destroy her!"

"Jodie Young is just foolish. She believes whatever I tell her. I have her wrapped around my finger like a puppet on strings. I won’t let you and Dianna Hollis have it easy!"

In front of Cain Shaw, Yuric Thatcher always felt deeply inferior, leading him to take extreme measures. Now, releasing his inner thoughts gave him a sense of cathartic relief.

Cain Shaw’s thin lips slowly curled up, "Yuric Thatcher, you’ve finally spoken your heart."

What did he mean?

Yuric Thatcher’s heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling washing over him. It was as if... he had fallen into a trap.

Then someone came into view. Yuric Thatcher looked up and saw it was... Jodie Young.

Jodie Young was here!

She had arrived long ago, clearly hearing the conversation between the two.

Yuric Thatcher was dumbfounded, never expecting Jodie Young to appear.

"Aunt... Auntie, let me explain. What I just said wasn’t true, was it... wasn’t it Cain Shaw who made you come? You see, this is all his scheme. He deliberately provoked me to say those words!" Yuric explained immediately, shifting the blame to Cain Shaw.

Now he couldn’t afford to lose Jodie Young’s support. Otherwise, he would have nothing left.

Jodie Young looked at Yuric Thatcher with deep disappointment. "Yuric Thatcher, your disguise has been exposed, and you still refuse to admit it? Do you really think I’m that foolish?"

"Auntie, I..."

Jodie Young genuinely liked Yuric Thatcher but didn’t expect people’s hearts to change so quickly. She watched him grow up, and now he had grown psychologically twisted. Reflecting on it, she realized how he’d subtly manipulated her, driving her further away from her own daughter, especially with his comment about destroying Dianna Hollis if he couldn’t have her. This infuriated her. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

That was her daughter. No one could harm her daughter!

"Enough!" Jodie Young, her eyes red, interrupted Yuric Thatcher’s words directly. "I see your true colors now. I was blind before. I don’t want to see you ever again!"

Saying this, Jodie Young turned and left.

"Auntie, it’s not like that. Please listen to my explanation!" Yuric Thatcher continued to plead desperately, but Jodie Young’s decisive figure quickly disappeared from his sight.

Yuric Thatcher knew he had completely lost Jodie Young’s support, and he turned his angry gaze to Mort Thorne. "Cain Shaw, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?"

Mort Thorne shrugged, "Wasn’t it obvious I did it on purpose?"

"..." Yuric Thatcher was furious.

At this moment, Mort Thorne waved his hand, and two black-clad bodyguards approached, grabbing hold of Yuric Thatcher.

"Cain Shaw, what are you doing? Let go of me, mmm!" Yuric Thatcher’s mouth was gagged.

"So noisy, you’d better keep your mouth shut. I’ll have someone send you abroad, and maybe you’ll come back in a few years!"

What?

He was going to be sent away?

Yuric Thatcher wanted to refuse, but Mort Thorne had already walked away swiftly. It was clear this was a notification, not a negotiation.

...

After Mort Thorne left, his phone rang in his pocket.

He took out his phone; it was a call from Charles Bishop.

A sharp light flashed quickly through Mort Thorne’s dark eyes. He and Charles Bishop couldn’t be in contact, fearing exposure.

Charles Bishop was extremely meticulous and would never take risks unless... something had happened!
