Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 289

289 The hot search 

“I know, but what if he marries a scheming woman who would hate me? Such a woman would go all out to take Valen away all in the name of love,” she said sadly. 1 

These days, there are too many pretentious ladies who hate to have a mother–in–law even before they meet them. They are scared that their mother–in–law might be like their sister’s or friend’s mother–in–law, deliberately throwing out the fact that not everyone is the same. 

“So, what can your money do?” 

“Maybe after I’ve bought her heaven and earth, she might have a soft heart and understand that I like her because my son does. 

Maverick glanced at his wife who was looking out the window and pressed her hand, prompting her to look his way. 

“Trust your son to give you a daughter–in-law like you.” 

Jeslyn smiled. Can he? Love is a weird thing. Would he abandon a woman he loves because he fears. that she won’t be able to treat his mother right? 

Jeslyn shook her head and thought. If her son were to ever marry a woman who hates her, she would step aside if the woman is able to give her son real happiness. Also, if her daughter–in–law doesn’t blatantly disrespect her, she’ll be fine with their relationship. 

However, If her daughter-in–law is the narcissistic type, like Madam Caroline, then her daughter–in–law shall be visiting the afterlife to tell her what hell looks like. 4 

Meanwhile, Brian’s people had also taken the matter seriously. At first, they didn’t think it was important because his Assistant had Brian’s location but the next day, the location was suddenly wiped out from the map and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t get the location anymore. 

The Assistant Immediately reported the matter to Brian’s Manager who sent tons of their men to the area, however, they found the farmhouse, but unfortunately, they couldn’t find Brian- the house was empty. 

Brian’s people got scared. They couldn’t find Brian, what are they supposed to tell his mother? They’d be dead for sure. 

The 

manager was so frustrated that he almost killed the Assistant who covered for Brian. 

“How could you not have told me what he was up to, what do you want me to do now?!” The young man roared. His face and eye had turned red from how much anger he had been holding in. 

“I’m sorry, big brother, the Assistant apologized. 

“Sorry? Will your apology change anything?!” he barked. 

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself down and think. If he returns to Brian’s family to seek help, it would be easier to find him but that would mean; 

One, Brian’s identity would be revealed. Secondly, he and those that were in charge of watching the 

Young Master would be killed by his overprotective mother. And thirdly, another big fight would ensue between Brian and his mother. What a pain! 

“Who did you say he came here to see?” the Manager asked the Assistant who had his head down. 

“He was trailing Piper’s car, and it seemed Piper was going to see Feng Long” 

“What Feng Long? I saw Feng Long and his Manager attending a charity auction yesterday, so what are you talking about?” the Manager frowned. 

The Assistant was stunned for a while before his fear triggered some weird conjecture… What if Young Master Brian has been killed?! 

His eyes widened at that thought and he immediately lowered his head and started reprimanding himself in his mind. That’s an abominable thought, he dared not say it out loud! 

While Brian’s people were having a hard time coming to a decision, a group of men in black and white, led by Code 10 walked into the area with cold faces. 

Their momentum didn’t beat the men they met, standing around the farmhouse, but their composure was top–notch. 

Without uttering a word to Brian’s people, Code 10 led three people into the house and scattered the others around the house to look for any clue they could. 

Inside the house, Code 10 analyzed all he could before he found the underground basement. He opened it and went in. Undoubtedly, this was where Piper was kept. 

His men searched around for whatever they could find, but except for Piper’s one earring that was lying beside the couch, they couldn’t find anything else. 

“Pick that up with a handkerchief,” Code 10 ordered before he turned and left with his people. 

Outside the house, Code 10 called his men back and they started to leave. Just then, Brian’s manager stopped him. 

“I know you are Alpha Chaos‘ people and are here for Piper. I want to make a suggestion, can we join the team…Please?” 

Code 10 gave him a once–over glance and spat; “No,” with that, they left.
