Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 332

332 Visiting Piper 

Paah! You naughty brat! You want to use me, huh?!Rex realized that Valen was scheming against him the minute he said those last words. Stupid him, he almost fell for it!

Hehe, now that you’ve hit me, do you know that I can confidently tell my mom that you’ve been bullying me?Valen raised a brow, looking extremely cute with a small daring smile on his lips

What are you-” 

I have a video of you hitting me. My mom will definitely charge you billions like she did to you the other day. Hehe.” 

Rex sighed and shook his head. Indeed, Jeslyn had suddenly become greedy for money that she goes about charging people billions when offended. When asked, she would say she’s preparing her future daughterinlaw’s dowry, imagine that

You win, let’s go to your parents,Rex relented

Valen beamed and began to walk languidly to the door, conceiving how to cause trouble for his father

Meanwhile, at the Lu hospital, Inspector Fin walked in with Beverly behind him. Once they got to the VIP room, they saw Piper sitting on her bed and watching TV

Hey,” Inspector Fin smiled

Hey, you’re here,Piper returned the smile with her lips sealed. Her gaze traveled to Beverly who was behind Inspector Fin and she nodded slightly in greeting

Beverly also responded with a nod of her head

Come in, what may I offer you,” Manager Sarafina stood up and gestured to the white couch in the 

ward

I’m fine, thank you,Beverly said as she walked in with her heels making clicking sounds, drawing everyone’s attention to her beautiful blue five or sixinch heels

Your shoes are pretty,Piper praised

You’re way prettier,” Beverley returned the compliment

I haven’t heard those words in weeks. Thank you.” 

You’re welcome,Beverly replied while pressing her phone

I came around two days ago but you weren’t in your ward.Inspector Fin chimed in

Oh?Piper glanced at Manager Sarafina. It was clear she didn’t tell Piper about it

My bad, I forgot to inform you, I’m sorry.Sarafina apologized

It’s fine,Piper picked up the apple on her plate with a fork and began to munch on it

A long and awkward silence filled the ward for a long time with everyone doing their thing before Inspector Fin cleared his throat and asked; How is your health now?” 

Doctor Matt said I’m fine now.” 

When are you leaving the hospital?he asked

Ah-Piper stopped talking when she caught sight of Beverly minding her business and typing away on her phone. She’s yourshe stretched the last word with a questioning look

She’s my-” 

His childhood friend.” Beverly butted in and smiled with her lips sealed

Inspector Fin slowly glanced at the nonchalant Beverly for a while before he looked away

Oh?Piper could feel the tension between the two and from her experience, she could tell they weren’t just childhood friends. Something stronger was going on between them. She thought

I’m Piper, Piper Xu,she took the Initiative to introduce herself

I’m Beverly, Beverly Xiang.” 

Nice to meet you. Sorry, we had to meet in this kind of place.” 

I don’t have a problem,Beverly replied

Another silence swept through the room for a while before Piper’s phone rang. She glanced at the ID before handing the phone to Manager Sarafina. The Manager picked up the call and wanted to leave the room but Piper shook her head, asking her not to

Hello,” Manager Sarafina said into the phone

The CEO of Rainbow Entertainment was seen, sitting among other higherups as he spoke into the phone. It was he who called Piper

Hello, Piper, how are you do-?” 

Mr. CEO, what are you calling for?Manager Sarafina çut him off

Sarafina?The man frowned, and so did others. What are you doing holding Piper’s phone?” 

That does not answer my question. I thought I already made things clear to you. My artist and I are no longer coming back to your company!” 

I don’t mind if you don’t come back, but Piper has to return.” 

Hahaha, on what basis?” 

On the basis that she will be breaching her contract if she doesn’t come back. The company is readyto forgo the bad image she caused the company in these few weeks. When she returns, she will hold a press conference and tell everyone that she wasn’t kidnaped. She went out on a vacation with Brian, behind the company’s back and had a bad experience with some thugs that led to her situation. You don’t need to worry, she’ll only get bashed for a few days before the PR team would think of helping her come up with something. You know how it works.”
