Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 383

383 Madam Caroline’s end 

“Too late?” Rex frowned. Soon his eyes shook, “What did 

you do?!” 1 

“Too bad you can’t find out, farewell, my unfilial son.” 

“Bang!” 

Just a second before she pulled the trigger, Piper barged into the room, causing the door to hit Madam Caroline in the back which prompted her to shoot the gun but missed her target. 

Madam Caroline looked behind her to see who it was. She wasn’t surprised to know 

It was Piper with tears in her eyes. 

“You are here too, you both can die together!” Just as she was about to shoot Piper, Rex, who was already feeling dizzy, lurched at her and they started fighting for the gun. 

Piper didn’t know what to do. She still couldn’t digest what she just heard. When she saw that Rex was going weaker and weaker, she searched for an object, anything that could be of help. 

She saw the lampstand on the bed and immediately rushed to grab it. Without a proper aim, she swung the lampstand, Madam Caroline was quick to see it coming, so she moved out of the way and pushed Rex into it. 

Piper hit the back of his head and Rex fell flat on his stomach, unconscious. 

“Bang!” 

Madam Caroline took advantage of Piper’s shock and shot a bullet at her. Piper was too stunned to react in time to dodge, so she was hit in the side of her stomach. 

She grunted in pain as she looked at her so–called mother with tears dripping from her eyes. It feels like a nightmare! 

“Hahahaha…” Madam Caroline laughed like a maniac for a long time before she pointed the gun at Piper again, wanting to finish her off. “None of you will go Scott–free-” 

“Bang!” 

A bullet flew in from the door and hit the gun out of Madam Caroline’s hand. She turned around in alarm to see Maverick standing there. 

“L- Lu Ren?” She was startled. What is he doing here? Isn’t he supposed to be with the Living 

ancestors? 

“Send her to the asylum… She must never get better nor die.” Maverick commanded. 

There are other ways to ‘take care‘ of people that cannot be killed. Maverick cannot see himself shooting the woman that gave birth to him, but there won’t be a problem to send her to where she belongs. 

“Yes, boss,” Code 10 said and walked into the messy room. 

“As- asylum? I’m not mad, I’m perfectly fine! Lu Ren!” 

Maverick ignored her and walked into the room. He lowered his height and carried Piper in his arms. 

“Can you manage?” he asked her. 

“Br–brother,” she raised her bloody hand that was holding her injured stomach to touch his face. As tears blurred her vision, a small sad smile rested on her lips. 

She was happy that a woman like Madam Caroline is not her real mother. 

“Don’t say anything. I’ll send you to the hospital.” Maverick said and started walking out of the room in large strides. 

Piper shook her head, “Brother, I- I can’t make-” 

“Stop talking!!” He roared and glared at her. 

Piper stopped talking. Her eyes were slowly closing and her heartbeat was going slower and weaker. 

After Madam Caroline left the Charity event, Piper excused herself and ran after her. She knew Madam Caroline too well to know that when that woman makes a plan, there’ll be plan A and plan B. She had a bad feeling that something would go wrong, so without telling anyone, she followed her. 

Now that it is known that she’s not Maverick’s sister, will he and Rex abandon her? Those were the thoughts in her mind before Piper lost consciousness. 

Code 2 hurried behind Maverick with Rex in his arms, the two got into Maverick’s black car. Maverick took the steering wheel himself as he almost flew through the city just to beat time and get to the hospital soonest. 

Meanwhile, the sane Madam Caroline was sent to the asylum by Code 10. When he got there, he went straight 

to the head of the hospital’s office. 

The man immediately stood up and bowed when he saw Code 10. 

“No need for formalities. My master sent you another person. He said you should make her case worse than the other person’s.” 

Just after he said that, unkempt Madam Caroline was pushed into the office with her hands tied to her back and mouth sealed with a tape. 

The doctor was stupefied. Isn’t she Alpha Chaos‘ mother? How can-
