Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 448

448 Trouble at the party (2) 

While he was talking on the phone, he caught sight of the window and a thought crossed his mind. Maverick pulled the curtains in the room together, yet they were not enough to get them down from the last floor of the ten–story building. He looked around the room and his eyes zoomed in on the bed sheet. 1 

He walked up to them on the bed and was about to drag the sheets from them when the man raised his voice. 

“Don’t you dare touch the sheets, else I’ll tell them you’re here!!” 

Maverick paused and looked at the man, then the corner–of his lips stretched into a smirk, “I dare you.” 

“Don’t think I’m scared of you! The living ancestors already passed judgment on you. You are no longer a part of the Lu family and you can’t use the Lu family’s name anymore! Grandfather had wanted to make the announcement but was distracted by important things, so you should know how you talk to me!!” 

Madam Lu had been pinching him and giving him signs to not provoke Maverick, but the young and impulsive guy wouldn’t listen. How could this idiot anger someone who can expose their secret to the world? Why did she even let this boy’s charms get into her head? If the family finds out she is 

cheating with her nephew–in–law, she’d be done for! 

Maverick was baffled by this guy’s words. To be fair, he had no idea who these two were until he mentioned the Lu family. At that moment when he was staring at the Young man with incredulity like he would unleash his anger on him any moment from now, the woman went on her knees and started begging. Meanwhile, the staff member was in a corner, feeling shame on behalf of the cheating duo. 

“Cousin–in–law, I’m very sorry, please don’t tell my husband! I know I’m doing wrong by cheating on him with his nephew. Please forgive me, I didn’t mean to! I didn’t know what came over me! Please!” 

“What are you doing?!” The guy yelled. 

“Oh,” Maverick finally understood what was going on. Still, what they do with their lives has nothing to do with him, so he dragged the sheets off their body, exposing their shamelessness and went to tie it together with the rest, forming a long rope. Although it still wasn’t enough, he could manage to fall from the second floor. 

He first got down using the rope he made, before the staff member followed. When Maverick got down safely, he waited to catch the lady from hitting the floor. 

Finally, they are out of the hotel. The staff lady went to alert security, who in turn went to report to the management. Unfortunately, the hotel management did nothing, but was rather in search of the staff member who spread the matter. 

By now, the staff member had reached the emergency entrance with Maverick behind her. 

“Luckily, I have the keys.” She murmured and opened the door to allow Maverick in before she followed. 

As they walked through the dark path, the lady tried to strike a conversation with Maverick several 

times. 

“Umm…Mr. Maverick, thank you for saving me. I would have died if you hadn’t pulled me out of the 

way.”

“I– I didn’t mean to hug you, I was frightened and didn’t know what to do.”

“I promise, I’ll keep my mouth shut about your relative’s affairs. I won’t say a thing and though-” 

“Do you have evidence of their cheating?” Maverick finally spoke. 

The lady was caught off guard. She didn’t know he’d reply her. 

“Y–Yes, I do. They come here every time, so their information is-

“Get your hands on destructive evidence on their affairs and post it. You’ll get a million dollars for a good job.” 

The lady was so excited like she had seen heaven. Maverick, on the other hand, didn’t utter another word until he arrived at the spot. 

“You are not coming with me. Explain the route and leave.” 

The lady nodded. No matter how much she finds this man hot, she didn’t want to go into the hall with him. She still loves her life, so she started to explain. 

“After leaving through this door, you’ll arrive at the restroom area. From there, take the straight road ahead and you’ll arrive at the hall.”
