Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 303

302 Jeslyn’s visit to the prison (2) 

“Father, have you gone mute?” she feigned panic. “Code 2, it seems my father has suddenly gone mute, can you help me pry his mouth open and force him to talk to me?” 1 

“Jeslyn!! You cursed child, I’m your father!!!” The man roared. 

“Are you?” Jeslyn raised a brow. Seeing he didn’t respond, she chuckled. “I thought as much.” 

“What did you come here for?” Mr. Wales fumed. 

“Code 2, help him to his scat. I don’t want people to think I’m bullying my father,” she placed her elbow on the table and supported her chin with her palm. 

She looked bored and tired. 

“Mr. Wales, how does it feel being behind bars? How are your inmates treating you? Do you receive enough beating?…” Jeslyn scrutinized her father for a while and drew in air through her teeth, then shook her head before she continued. 

“I don’t see much injuries on you… to be honest Father, I never thought you could stay this long in jail. I thought you would have long died from harassment and bullying. Good thing you didn’t-” Jeslyn was interrupted by her father. 

“I should have made sure you died before leaving the hospital on the day you were born. I regret not burying you alive when I found out you didn’t die,” he said through gritted teeth as his eyes spat raging flames. 

“Wh- what are you talking about?” Jeslyn frowned. 

“What? You thought I was indeed your father?” Seeing Jeslyn’s confused expression, Mr. Wales burst into a pile of annoying and victorious laughter. 

“Why do you think I hated your slutty mother?! Hahahaha…” Mr. Wales laughed for a long time before he burst into tears and covered his face with his palms. 

Jeslyn looked behind her in a daze, she nodded her head ever so slightly at Code 5; an indication for 

him to leave the room. 

Code 5 bowed before leaving. 

Left alone with her father, Jeslyn drew closer to the table and asked with a thumping heart. She was shocked that Mr. Wales was crying but she didn’t want to care about that. 

“Mr. Wales, wh- what do you mean you’re not my father? Who is my biological father?” 

The man ignored her and continued to moan whatever was eating his heart. 

“Talk to me, who the hell is my father?!!!” Jeslyn screamed. 

“I don’t know!!! Go ask that wh*re you call a mother!!“, He also responded with the same fierce energy. 

Mr. Wales was angry, and so was Jeslyn who was having mixed feelings of anxiety, fear, disbelief, and hatred. 

Meanwhile, Pink had returned to the house and had gone to see Maverick in his study room. 

“Where is my daughter?” She asked while standing in front of his desk. 

Without raising his head from reading his novel, Maverick responded, “went to find out the truth your refused to tell her,” he replied slowly without interest. 

“Wh- what?! Why did you allow her to leave?!” She yelled in frustration. 

Maverick slowly raised his eyes to stare at her. 

“I’m sorry,” she apologized. 

“I hate to get involved in things like this, however, my wife is suffering and it’s your fault. Alex, I give 

you 

three days…” he returned his gaze to the book in silence, flipped a page and continued with his eyes still on what he was reading. 

“… If my wife returns to me without knowing the whole truth about herself…” he looked at her and laid back to rest his back on the chair, “I’ll make you suffer more than her.” He enunciated slowly and quietly. 

“Boss, Jeslyn is my daughter and you’re her husband, which makes you my son–in–law. You’ll be hurting her more if you kill me.” Pink said with a cold face. 

“Kill you?” Maverick shook his head, “You’ll suffer but won’t die.” He got up and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window. He tucked his hands into his trousers pocket as he stared at the city in front 

of him. 

“My wife has gone through a lot. You betrayed her as a mother and caused her much pain and still don’t intend to correct your mistakes because you’re scared.” He curled his lips and turned to look at her. “Do you still think you deserve the mother–in–law title?” He asked her. 

Pink lowered her head and bit her bottom lip. 

“Your grandson treats you like his subordinate. Aren’t you feeling degraded or sad?” Maverick lowered his gaze to the ring he was wearing on his ring finger. “I don’t care what you wish to do afterwards. I’m warning you for the last time, tell my wife everything, else I’ll ruin your chances of being with her… 

forever!” 

With that said, Maverick turned to look out the floor–to–ceiling window in silence. 

He talked way more than he usually does and that was to let Pink know how important this matter
