Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

71 His punishment- Maverick’s desire

Xu Ming threatened and was about to leave the gathering when Maverick’s cold voice rang in the quiet sitting room.

“So it’s you,” Maverick stared at the man who was fuming with rage before he lowered his eyes to the gun he was playing with. “Your Xu family owes me so much debt that ten generations of your family cannot pay. Did no one tell you that?”

The faces of the Patriarch and every Xu present turned white.

Yes, they did Maverick bad in the past, but over the years he didn’t retaliate and they all thought he had let things slide because of his mother, but who would have thought he didn’t forgive them?

“Lu, boy, what do you mean?” Patriarch Xu asked.

“I have no history of repeating myself, Patriarch, you haven’t forgotten that too, right?” Maverick replied with a question before he folded his right leg on his left leg and spread his arms on the headrest of the couch.

His posture made him look like a pompous nouveau riche. However, the difference was that Maverick’s coldness Wouldn’t allow anyone to think of anything else but a bully.

That’s right, he was here to bully the Xu family.

“What do you want for compensation?” The oldest son of Patriarch Xu, Xu Liam asked. He was getting irritated by Maverick’s behavior but because their family was at fault, he couldn’t let out his anger.

Maverick looked at Xu Liam who had the same features as Xu Ming before he smiled. The smile made his already villainous look even more wicked.

“Give him ATOM or I take him away,” Maverick replied.

At his words, the Patriarch closed his eyes and the other members of the family had their eyes enlarged like they wanted to see the future.
