Betrayed Conglomerate Husband

Chapter 4: I hope You're Not Fooling Me, Jacob

Five minutes later.

Ethan was currently curled up on the ground crying loudly. Excruciating pain emerged in his right leg, rendering him powerless.

He wanted to ask Torin many times to stop this man. However, this burly man did not give him the chance to do so! Every single word he said, the burly man would cover his mouth and start brutally beating his leg again.

Therefore, all Ethan could do was cry and scream.

On the other hand, seeing Ethan's pathetic condition, Torin felt that was enough. In this condition, Torin was sure that Ethan would not be able to walk properly for several days. This would of course be the best first step to his revenge!

Hence, Torin said to the burly man, “Stop it! It was more than enough!"

Immediately, the burly man stopped and replied in a respectful tone, “As you wish, Young Master.”

"Okay, now leave him and let's continue our journey," continued Torin.

"As you wish, Young Master," they replied simultaneously in respectful tones, before finally taking long steps to leave Ethan.

At this point, Ethan's friends, who saw the incident from afar, immediately approached him with panicked expressions.

Of course, they wouldn't let Ethan know that they were just standing by and monitoring everything that happened from afar. They didn't have the courage to help him. After all, what crazy person would want to deal with those scary burly men?!

"Ethan, what happened to you?! Are you okay?" asked one of them as soon as he arrived in front of Ethan.

"Ah, quickly take me to Miya's house! I must report this news immediately! Miya must know who the real Torin is! How dare that bastard lie to us all this time?! I will repay all this bad treatment, Torin!"

After that, they carried Ethan's helpless body to the car.

At this point, Torin was in a luxury car with Jacob beside him.

With a warm smile, Jacob said, "Glad to hear that you want to inherit the entire wealth of the Sallim Group, Young Master. From now on, Sallim Group will operate according to your orders."

"Ah, before that, I want to ask how much influence the Sallim Group has in Corholt City, Jacob?"

It should be noted that Torin does not know for sure how much his father's wealth is.

When he was only seven years old, Torin separated from his father and only lived with his mother as a poor family!

That is also the reason why Torin's memory of his father is not strong. He didn't even remember whether his father had ever hugged and carried him. He didn't even remember if his father had ever spoken to him. The only memory of his father is the arguments between his father and mother that occurred almost every day.

Moreover, nine years later, precisely when Torin was 16 years old, his mother died. And on the day of his mother's funeral, even his father didn't attend. That was the starting point where Torin never thought his father existed!

After his mother's death, Torin continued his education while working part-time. Luckily, he was an excellent student, so when he finally graduated with good grades, he was accepted to work as a graphic designer at a small company.

Slowly but surely, Torin is saving for his future. He plans to build a restaurant that will generate passive income, so that in his old age, he will live a peaceful and happy.

However, that dream was shattered when his girlfriend's family, the Johnson Family, went bankrupt! Therefore, he had to spend all his savings to restore the Johnson Family's economy.

After many things happened, Miya and Torin finally decided to get married. However, two months before their wedding took place, Jacob suddenly met him and asked him to inherit his father's entire company; Sallim Group!

Of course, Torin, who has forgotten all memories of his father, refuses to accept it! After disappearing for decades, he came back and asked me to continue his business?! Is there any other man who is more scumbag than him?!

After all, Torin didn't want to fall into too much work, and just wanted to enjoy a quiet and simple life with Miya. He wants to make Miya happy with his own hands and efforts!

However, everything always doesn't go according to plan.

Miya, the woman he loved the most, who he always accompanied in good times and bad, actually left him just because of money!

Of course, what he felt right now was much more painful than what his father had given him!

Miya really had stuck a knife in his heart!

Therefore, Torin had no other choice but to accept all the wealth left by his father. It doesn't matter if he is faced with a lot of work! As long as he could make Miya regret and apologize to him, it would already be a fair exchange!

However, Torin actually didn't know how much wealth his father had. That was also the reason why he asked Jacob about it. Is his father richer than Nevil? Or is it Nevil who is richer? Of course, Torin hoped that this time everything would go according to his expectations.

And, what Jacob said next managed to make Torin almost drop his jaw. I-is his father really that great?!

“Corholt? That's too small, Young Master. Sallim Group's influence spreads all over the world! You can even buy this country if you want. Sallim Group's wealth cannot be calculated! That's too much! It wouldn't be wrong to call you the king of kings, Young Master!"

“Y-you're not joking, are you, Jacob? To be honest, I-I've never even heard of the Sallim Group. How could you call that a company capable of buying this country?! It's not even famous!"

Hearing that, Jacob smiled before finally replying, "This does sound absurd if I just put it in words, Young Master. I'll explain everything once we arrive at one of the giant buildings belonging to the Sallim Group."

At this point, Torin sighed helplessly, then replied, “Okay then. I hope you're not fooling me, Jacob."
