Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

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."

Maverick pulled out his gun and cracked it before going in through the door. The other side of the door was the men's restroom. Once he entered the restroom, he saw one of the men in Xu's uniform having sex with a waitress... Rather, he was forcing himself on the lady who looked tired and worn out from screaming.

Her tired eyes were looking in his direction but when they caught sight of him, they widened slightly and she moved her hand, probably trying to seek help.

Maverick could hear people laughing and talking from outside the door, making jest of what seemed to be happening in front of him.

The rapist was too carried away by his activity to notice the grim reaper walking towards him.

As the rapist raised his head to look at the ceiling from the ecstasy, Maverick ruthlessly sent a hard blow to his cricoid cartilage.

The rapist immediately spat out blood. His limp body was about to fall on the lady when Maverick mercilessly kicked him off, sending him falling against the sink stand.

"Careful! Don't waste her yet! We also want to go a round. Hahahaha...!" one of the guys from outside the door said when they heard a loud bang!

Maverick helped the lady up. She was naked and her legs were shaking. He looked around and saw that her dress was torn. He took off the Xu uniform from the rapist and gave it to the lady, but she refused to have anything to do with it.

When the cloth was given to her, she whimpered and hugged herself tightly. That was when it occurred to Maverick that she was traumatized. Left with no other choice, he took off his black shirt and wore it for her before carrying her in his arms to leave the restroom.
