Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

74 Annoying freak- blacklisted again

"I wonder why it took you so long to respond, but anyway, don't tempt me." He waved his hand for her

to leave.

Emilee lowered her gaze and bowed, "yes, Master," she turned around and walked away.

Damien watched her leave through the door after switching the lights off before he picked up his phone to make a few calls. The first person he called was Maverick. Maverick's phone rang a few times but Damien got no response. He chuckled,

"I knew he wouldn't answer me, such a bad person. However, you should answer my call or I'll keep calling until you do. Even if you block me like you always do, I'll keep changing sims and calling you. After all, I'm jobless. Hahahaha..." 3

After about five missed calls, the phone finally connected. Damien grinned and said into the phone: "Celebrity Chaos, you no longer answer calls. How did you know I was the caller? Don't tell me you made a call-identification software? I should make an anti-blocking software too so you can't block

me anymore."

"Reason!" Maverick started curtly. He didn't scream but Damien knew from his tone that he wasn't happy about the call, he never was.

But does Damien care? Of course not!

"What other reason would I have to call you other than to congratulate you for not disappointing me?

Hahaha..."

Maverick narrowed his eyes. Like he connected the dots, he replied: "He's half dead, one person from your Yu family will be the next."

Maverick did suspect that someone instigated Xu Ming to dare him, but he never expected the man would be so foolish to let an enemy like Damien use him. When it comes to manipulation and schemes, Damien holds the crown, after all, humans are only pawns to him. No string attached.

Damien doesn't mind to befriend an enemy and use their hand to get rid of a bigger enemy before turning against his helper again.

"Hahahahaha... Who cares? Should I bring them to you with a truck? How do you want me to bring

the-"

"Nuisance, I got things to do..." Maverick ruthlessly cut him off. Who gladly sacrifices their family to their worst enemy? Only Damien would do that.

"Certainly not!..." Damien raised his voice before he smiled again. "You can't end the call just yet. I called you to inform you that I'll be doing a good job in letting Davis know what you did in his absence. It would be fun watching you two fight... hahaha-"

"You welcome," Just when Maverick was about to disconnect the call, Damien hurriedly added.

"It's been a while you caused massive disturbance in the country and its getting boring. Please live up to your name, Chaos!"

Maverick disconnected the call and blacklisted the number again. Looking at the tons of numbers belonging to that psycho he had blacklisted, he rubbed his dark brow.

If Maverick is asked to sum up Damien in two words, it would be an 'annoying freak'.

"Boss, the rain is getting heavier, should we stop at a hotel?" Code 2 who was sitting in the front passenger seat asked.

"No,"

"Ok, boss,"

It was already getting dark and he needed to be at home with his son. Valen hates rainy days and days like this, they sleep together.

Maverick looked at the raindrops on the car window, thanks to the light from other cars moving along the road.

His mind flashed back to the memory of a lady in a white knee-length gown playing in the rain on one sunny afternoon. She looked happy and carefree.

While people ran to seek cover, the lady found solace in the rain. Her happy and free spirit reminded Mayerick of a child he once knew. The child also loved rain. Due to a few coincidence, he became closer to the lady and found out she had so many things in common with the child he once knew.

After getting comfortable with her, she suddenly disappeared and now, he has another person like her in his house but with a different face and little difference in character. Is there such a coincidence? Trying to picture the lady's happy face, it was Jeslyn's troubled face from that morning he saw.

Maverick blinked and the illusions disappeared. He rested his head on the seat and took a deep breath before he closed his eyes.

At Maverick's mansion, the compound had returned to how it used to be unless the two buildings were destroyed. Nothing except those buildings will make strangers know that a dangerous fight happened. Inside the house, Jeslyn was seen in Valen's room. She was gently stroking his back as she sang him a lullaby.

Valen had long gone to sleep but Jeslyn was still stroking him and singing for him.

Pink sighed and shook her head. She had spoken to Jeslyn to take a rest for the umpteenth time but Jeslyn wouldn't listen.

Jeslyn couldn't believe it when Pink told her it was a normal occurrence to start a fight at people's houses in this country.

"The adults might be able to endure, but not the kids. Valen is too young to go through that much trouble. He's a child and should be made to live like a child with a healthy environment for him." Jeslyn had said when Pink told her to leave the boy that he was used to it.

Pink, who couldn't take Jeslyn's naivety anymore pulled her up and dragged her to the front of the house just so she'd see the remains of the war.

"With this, do you still want that child to be softhearted? Jeslyn, this is county M. The 'M' isn't there because it's a letter, no, it means MONSTERS.

Country M is a country of monsters and not your regular country either. You either step on people to become stronger or you become a stepping stone for others to be successful."

"I understand, but Valen is too young for such, he should be playing with toys at this age and when he's a little older, he can then do what he needs to do!"
