Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

463 The wrath of an angry Maverick (1)

All through the day, nobody on the internet said a word about Maverick and Jeslyn’s matter anymore. Unlike before where everyone would want to become the judge of other people’s lives, the media was so silent that one would think everyone finally got a life. 1

This was definitely not the result Reuben and his friend wanted, but what could be done? No matter how many pictures and ‘proves‘ they posted, no matter how elegant their lies were written online, nobody said a thing under the comments.

However, humans will always be humans. They talk about it offline with friends and families and try to analyze the matter while many hated Maverick even more for taking away their ‘freedom of speech but even at that, ranting was done offline.

The rape

victim had been questioned and she knew nothing about the whole incident. According to her, she was in the restroom when the hotel was raided and had no idea. By the time she got out, some Xu men who were patrolling the restroom area took her away to the male restroom and took advantage of her.

Her story was too touching for anyone to bother her anymore. So Maverick was left with nothing but to continue terrorizing everyone on his list until someone tells him the whereabouts of Damien.

A few hours later, a young lady of about twenty years was taken to Maverick, alongside the three living ancestors of the Yu family.

The old men didn’t put up a resistance nor did they allow the family to fight to keep them. From what has been happening around the Capital for two weeks, they all know Maverick has hit his extreme boiling point and it wouldn’t do them any good if they ruffled his feathers more.

Standing in front of Maverick in his torture chambers were the three living ancestors and the young lady, who was forced to her knees.

Maverick, who was sitting on a chair with eyes closed with his back resting on the chair, slowly opened his eyes and rested them on the young lady who didn’t seem to understand the gravity of the situation. She was kneeling there with the effrontery to glare defiantly at him.

He leaned forward with a small dagger dancing in his hand.
