Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 49

49 Piper 

“Don’t take her words to heart. You should already be used to her by now.” The woman let go of her and smiled bitterly. 

“Since she cannot be with her brothers, all she can do is envy all the ladies that could get close to them and you are one of the few ladies that have access to them, so I hope you understand, Mulan.” 

Mulan wiped her pretty face and nodded. “Yes, ma. I’m sorry for letting my emotions get the better of me. I would have done the same as Piper if I were in her shoes.” 

Mulan sounded pitifully low, just like her countenance at the moment. 

“It’s good you understand.” The woman nodded. “So what happened? What has my son done?” She asked. 

“Ma, Maverick, he, he got married…” her river of tears broke and flowed uncontrollably. 

“What do you mean Maverick got married?” The woman frowned deeply. What kind of a joke is that? 

“I’m serious, Ma. This morning… ” Mulan narrated all that happened in the mansion, including Jeslyn spanking Valen. 

“What!!” The woman jolted from the couch and stood on her feet with anger stroking her face. 

“She raised her hand on my grandson?!” She thundered. 

“Y-yes, ma,” Mulan answered with a nod. She also got up and stood beside the woman with her head 

lowered. 

“How dare that wench touch my precious grandson!? What family is she from?” 

Mulan stayed silent. 

“I asked you, what shithole is she from?!” 

Mulan flinched. “I- I don’t know Ma. She doesn’t seem to belong to the top families-” 

“Did you carry out a thorough investigation on her?” 

“No, ma, I wasn’t-” 

“Then stop assuming you already know everything. My son cannot have anything to do with low lives.” Maverick’s mother gave Mulan a death glare. 

“Y-yes ma, I’m sorry for-” 

“You should return home for today. I want to be alone… I need fresh air.” She said with a scowl. 

What fresh air? Was Mulan a fresh air suppressor? It was obvious she didn’t want to have her around anymore for insinuating that her son married a nobody. 

“Y-yes ma, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll come see you in two days.” 

“Hmm…” 

The woman watched as Mulan picked up her black purse and walked out.” Useless,” she spat. Maverick’s mother bit her painted red lips and narrowed her eyes. “Ren, when are you going to see

me as your mother? Is it until I DIE?!” She screamed the last part and swept off the fruits on the table. She was hurt, and heartbroken, and furious! 

How can children get married without informing their mothers? Yes, she might have done wrong in the past, but that was in the past! Why can’t her sons let it go? 

“Lu Hao, see what your children turned into.” She chuckled in rage, “what was I expecting from the children of an evil doer like you?” (2) 

After a while of lamenting, she took a deep breath and sat on the couch. “My sons are not allowed to marry without my consent. They are not allowed to marry who they choose. They can only marry whichever girl I choose for them.”” 

With that in mind, she grabbed her phone from the table and dialed a number. After a few rings, the call was answered. 

“Do a thorough background check on that girl in my son’s life… I won’t protect you if he finds out.” With that, she disconnected the call. 

Her eyes shone with hatred and something else. It was not known who it was directed at, but it certainly wouldn’t end well with that person. 

Outside the house, Mulan entered her luxurious red car and put on the seat belt before turning to look at the white mansion she just came out from. 

Her sorrowful eyes changed. She glared at the house with a sly smile playing on her lips. “Go do your job, worthless woman,” she murmured before stepping on the accelerator and zooming off. 1 

Inside Piper’s room… 

The sexy-looking lady was seen in a dimly lit bedroom. Her room was identical to Maverick’s. Dark and dangerous with a feminine touch. 

She pulled out a picture from her drawer and stared at the image for a while with longing in her eyes. before getting into her king sized bed. 

“I went for a shoot and just came back. I spent six months there and to be honest, the place was horrible. It was supposed to be one of the best places in country M, but I didn’t know why it felt lonely and bad until I got home. 

It was because you weren’t there and I was missing you. Breathing in the same air as you gives me life, I just confirmed it.
