Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 166

166 Conspiracy (2) 

“She was excited,” Jeslyn replied. 

“Why was that? Any clue?” 

“No. She was just morally upright. She said she’ll find me the father of the child and get us married. However…” Jeslyn sighed. She turned around to face him. “Why are you suddenly asking me that?” 

Now it makes sense. 

Ms. Alice was excited because Jeslyn’s pregnancy saved Jeslyn from her future troubles, so she asked Jeslyn to keep the pregnancy, 

But why did Ruben Yu and Vera Wang get involved? Maverick knows that getting an answer from Ruben Yu was the same as not getting an answer at all. 

Ruben Yu might look calm and collected. He might appear like a contrast to his brother, Damien Yu, however, Maverick knew too well to underestimate that guy, 3 

His twin brother, Damien is a Psychopath, what makes anyone think Ruben isn’t a worse Psycho? 

“When is your break?” Maverick asked instead of answering her. 

“It’s next week. A month’s break. I already said that just now.” 

“Come with me to Country M to see Valen.” 

“Ok. I hope he wakes up before then.” Jeslyn clasped her hands in prayer. 

Maverick brushed her silky smooth Black hair back as he watched her pray. Then his gaze traveled to the mirror and his eyes suddenly turned villainous with his lips curled. 

Country M…. 

Vera had returned to Maverick’s home after she got a call from the butler. She just finished bathing and was putting on some clothes when she paused. She looked at the mirror with her gaze focused on her stomach. She caressed it for a while before her lips broke into a smile. 

Her mind flashed back to that day and how it happened. 

Vera received a package from a lady dressed as a maid. The lady whispered something to her and Vera nodded. 

A while later, Vera was seen giving the package to a chef. The substance was added to the food that was being cooked. 

After Maverick ate the food, he walked into Vera’s room and lay on her bed. Soon, Vera joined him on the bed and started to undress him. She played with his body, gave him a blowjob, and did all she could but Maverick’s little brother didn’t stand up. 

Frustrated, Vera called the same chef into her room and allowed him to have a hot session with her in the bathroom. After that, she relayed what happened to the maid who later killed the chef to keep the 

secret.

“Nobody knows, and nobody will know what exactly happened that night. Hahahahahaha….” Vera laughed boisterously. 

“Why won’t I tear you both apart? My mission was to break Maverick, but it was a pity you got in the way, Jeslyn. Oh, how I pity you. You are so cute and harmless. I was actually finding you likable but who told you to get involved with Maverick? Not only did you take my place in his bed eight years ago, but you also dared to get pregnant for him. Even Your so–called mother almost created a mess for me. Good thing I got her people involved, else my mission would have failed and that Psycho would have sacrificed me. Why don’t they just kill you instead of cooking such a foolproof plot to emotionally bankrupt you? Maverick, Is there an achievement from ruining you emotionally? Whatever. Those people are weird, they can’t be understood at all. Oh, little Valen and Jeslyn are so pitiful. The big one didn’t know she’s with her child and the little one has no idea that the mother he longs for is right before him. What a sad life. Jeslyn even had the nerve to lie about her identity to me. Hahahaha… What a joke. My game will soon be over, then I can return. I’m tired of this hellhole.” 2 

On the white ceiling was an almost invisible pinhole camera. It wasn’t beeping and even if one looked attentively, they wouldn’t think that anything was there. 1 

Inside Rex’s sitting room, Inspector Fin and Rex could be seen staring at Vera on the laptop screen. 

Rex took a huge bite of the chicken lap he was holding with a white napkin as he watched Vera while also listening to her confession. 

“Wow, this is some crazy bitch sent on a suicide mission by some crazy people. Mav will be impressed to know this.” Fin smiled. 

“I never liked this bitch. I’ll love to skin her alive for toying with us.” Rex bit furiously on the chicken again. 1 

“Easy on the chicken man, it did nothing to you.” 

“I can only vent with this. My brother won’t allow me to touch her.” 

“It’s understandable. May wants to play along.” 

“Oh please, this is not your police shit. If brother plays along, he’d be risking his relationship with sister–in–law. That girl is very sensitive. She might not forgive brother.” 

“Tsk. I thought you were the Master of relationships. It seems you know nothing. What’s her name… sister–in–law loves Mav and there’s absolutely nothing that can make her stop loving him. Bet me, she won’t be able to stay angry at Mav for a few days.” 

Rex sighed… “You are right, Fin. Jeslyn is a hopeless case. Even if she can stay angry at my brother, she won’t be able to, with Valen in the picture. So, I guess, blood truly is thicker than water.” 

“That only applies to other people and certainly not to you and your family.” Inspector Fin mocked. “You hit the spot.” Rex stood up from the couch and picked up a jacket. While wearing it, Fin asked.
