Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 313

313 No remedy

Lolita coughed a few more times as she rubbed her neck. Monster!she thought.

Why would she even think that someone like Matt would be easy to woo? A person who is friends with Alpha Chaos

However, no matter what, she’s just starting and would never stop until he accepts her or gets 

married. With that thought in mind, Lolita’s lips broke into a beam

After Matt left the hospital, he went straight to Maverick’s house

Inside Maverick’s dimmed study room, Matt was seen sitting on a couch while Maverick was standing by the window and staring at the bright city

The suppression pillsexperiment failed,” Matt stated

Maverick froze. After a long time had passed without hearing anything from Maverick, Matt continued; I tried the pills on those who just got injected and it worked. But for those who had it for years, it failedA patient also died because of the experiment.” 

Maverick finally turned around and asked; You’re saying, she’ll die?” 

Matt nodded. If she takes the pills, she’ll die and if she takes the old pills, she’ll also die.” 

Maverick stayed silent for a long time before he asked; No other remedy?” 

Doctor Matt shook his head, No-” 

Then, what the f*ck are you doing here?!Maverick frowned

What nonsense is he being told? That his wife would die?? Is Matt insane?! 

There’s still hope. I’m here to know what’s going on with her body after you gave her the Rainborite 

stone, Matt said

Maverick’s brows relaxed and he walked back to his seat. She’ll be back tonight.” 

Oh, the stone didn’t disappear from her ring?” 

Maverick nodded his head in response

That’s strange,” he frowned slightly. Or, has the ore returned to the mine?” 

Maverick stared at him like an idiot without answering

Matt sighed when he saw that demeaning look. Don’t blame me, it’s weird.Then he changed the topic; What do you intend to do? Have you found those people?” 

The SIN,” Maverick replied

The instant Matt heard that his eyes widened. The SIN? How did they set you as their enemy? When did you offend them?” 

Maverick shook his head and flattened his lips. Have no idea,he said and pulled out a sparkling knife from his drawer and started to play with it

Matt eyed the knife before continuing: May, this is more complicated than I thought. I’m sure they’ll 

be backbut for now, the Rainborite ore has disappeared. The stone on Jeslyn’s ring should have left too, but it stayed. It’s something to worry about now because The SIN has gotten involved. If they can’t get the Ore, they’ll want the stone on Jeslyn’s ring. It’s dangerous for Jeslyn now, but-” 

Then, we give them something to cry about in the meantime,” he flung the knife and it stabbed into the bull’s eye of a target board that was placed on the other end of the room

May! Do you want to start a fight with them? They are not the DarkAge organization that can’t kill you because they need you! The SIN is unfeeling!Matt panicked

Maverick curled his lips. Unfeeling? What happens if Nancy loses her son and husband?

Matt’s eyes widened in horror. Yyo- you…. Demon!!” 

Except for a handful, no one else knew that The SIN faction which is more villainous than the Lu, Xu, and Yu combined belongs to a woman, Nancy

The SIN is a faction that rarely concerns themselves with the matters of the world. Yet, when they do, they don’t rest until the mission has been accomplished. They don’t care if they sacrifice half of their men just to carry out that mission

As for the Rainborite Stone, it’s like an organism that hates to leave its part anywhere. Even though the stone was broken into different pieces, once the Ore disappears, it takes along the rest of the tiny stones that were used by the humans and merges them into itself

But Jeslyn’s case is weird. The Rainborite stone stayed with her when others left. How is that possible

A while later, Matt finally asked what had been bothering his heart for a long time

Hold on May, I’ve been thinking. Is there a sign of a missing page, missing words, or anything at all that gives a sign that the ancient book is flawed or not complete?” 

You studied it, didn’t you?” 

Yes, I did but-Matt sighed and stopped talking when he saw Maverick about to get up from his 

chair

Maverick got up and walked to the target board. Pulling out the knife, he said; That’s not the most important thing to worry about right now.” 

What else do you have in mind?” 

The Dark- Age has to be taken care of,he said

Alarmed, Matt asked; You found a way?the question was rhetorical. He knew that Maverick wouldn’t bring it up if he was not prepared for it

Hmm,Maverick walked back to the chair while saying, Bring back Kimberly.” 

Oh, you want to use Kimberly, interesting.” Matt smiled

In the evening. Jeslyn returned to the Country but because her Manager had been pestering her to return to the company, she didn’t spend much time with Maverick before heading back

At Fearless Entertainment, Jeslyn entered Manager Kate’s office to see the woman standing by the window and staring at the city

Older sister,” Jeslyn called

You’re back,” Manager Kate turned to look at her. Have a seat,she gestured to the seat in front of her 

desk

With the both of them sitting, Manager Kate scrutinized Jeslyn for a long time before she asked; Jeslyn, are you married?” 

Jeslyn choked when she heard that. Whwhat- 

Don’t you dare lie to me. What relationship do you have with Chaos and his son?Manager Kate narrowed his eyes on her.

Ahem,Jeslyn cleared her throat and smiled. They are my family.” 

Your family, Asinyour husband and son?she glared at Jeslyn who nodded slowly with a smile on her lips

Manager Kate stared speechlessly at Jeslyn for a long time. She got up and said, I’ll give you a week off, go back home.” 

Huh?Jeslyn looked surprised at her manager. This stubborn woman doesn’t allow her to take a few hour’s break unless she told her it was an emergency. Why is she suddenly giving her a week
