Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

413 Plan in action

For the next few days, Brian’s case became worse. Everytime he stepped out of the house, he’d return home with wounds on his body. (1)

Nancy and Hwang Min became worried that they confronted each other about it, but none of them agreed to being the perpetrator who wanted Brian’s life.

Having three or more forces going after his life daily, Brian decided to sit at home. At least it was what Jeslyn wanted anyway.

Nancy and Hwang Min felt it was the best decision. They didn’t want him to mingle in the first place for different reasons, so when he started staying at home, they were relieved, but because he didn’t leave the house doesn’t mean that he won’t be hurt.

One fine morning, Brian was eating with his parents like every morning when the guy started acting weird and in the next minute, he puked blood and passed out.

Nancy was alarmed and immediately sent for the family doctor who confirmed that the Young Master was poisoned.

After a thorough search, it was discovered that a female servant whom Brian hated the most, did it. When she was interrogated with extreme torture tools, she accepted that she hated Brian because he had it too simple in life but she and her brother had been toiling for so many years, yet can’t hold a

candle to Brian.

Although she denied ever poisoning Brian, Nancy refused to hear that. The lady and her brother who was also a servant in the house were killed.

After Brian got better, he lost his appetite for food and only settled for snacks that were bought by someone he trusted.

Nancy was worried that if this continued, her son might fall sick, so she thought that by changing the servants and cooks, Brian’s appetite would be back, so she fired everyone and employed new

servants.
