Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

460 The search 2

Maverick turned off the touch light and ordered.

"Code 2, take some men to City F and rescue Fin. Send Code 5 along with some men to City B to bring back Matt... Code 10, get all the media in the Country to announce that I'll be taking over the Xu family's territory."

"Yes, Master!" They both chorused.

Although Code 10 had no idea why he wanted the world to know that; he still did as told.

That evening, news spread everywhere that Maverick, who had ruined the Xu family, would be taking over their territories.

Everyone who cared about the matter of power, heard the news and such people didn't exclude the Half-hearts.

Doyenne was so mad that she killed one of her girls.

"Didn't you tell me that Alpha Chaos was dead?!" She roared.

"Cease your anger, Doyenne!" all the members in the meeting hall knelt with a plop.

"I should cease my anger?! What do you think would have happened if y'all had taken advantage of his brother?! Do you think we would be fine? Huh?!" Everyone stayed silent with their heads on the ground.

She took a deep breath and commanded, "Get him out of prison and send him back home,

immediately. If you know what would be good for you, feed him the pill to make him lose his memory of this place. Else, y'all will face my wrath!"

That was how unconscious Rex was sent back to Maverick. It them dawned on Code 10 that Maverick made the announcement so whoever was holding Rex captive would get scared and send him back. He wished such a tactic would work on Reuben but unfortunately...

As for Matt and Fin, they were successfully rescued and brought back home the next day. Unfortunately, Fin sustained severe injuries...

It's been two weeks since Maverick returned and his wife was still nowhere to be found. There was no lead to trace her. He checked all the CCTV footage but couldn't find her anywhere in the Country. He knew she was taken by Reuben but the guy's whereabouts was unknown, even to Damien.

"Brother, why don't we alert the world about it? We might get a call from somewhere..."

Maverick glared at Rex, who wouldn't stop repeating the same statement since his recovery.

"Why don't you make your mind useful by remembering where the Half-heart's hideout is?" he spat out curtly before storming out on Rex.

Rex scratched the back of his head. When he went to rescue his brother, he was captured by the Half-hearts. The men he brought along were taken advantage of and killed while he was left in prison, awaiting whatnot, until he was rescued.

When he left there, after he was fed a pill, he forgot what happened to him until recently that his clouded mind slowly started to pick some things.

As for his brother, he was starting to lose patience and everyone was feeling the heat. These days, he was like a ticking time bomb. Everyone living their days in fear that he might suddenly detonate.

Rex understood the reason his brother didn't want to inform the media about his wife's matter. There are some malicious people who would take advantage of the matter and paint Jeslyn's reputation with coal. Even though Jeslyn is found, she might not be able to handle the gossip that will be flying

around her.

Despite her fans beginning to suspect something, Manager Kate was able to come up with an excuse. However, how long would that last? Rex sighed.

Reuben's hideout....

The guy was starting to panic as Jeslyn was still unconscious. It's been two weeks and he was going

crazy.

After she fainted two weeks ago, he thought she'd wake up the next day, but now, it was fourteen days and there was no sign of her waking up!

He stared at her peaceful face with anger rising inside him. She was sleeping peacefully while all his plans had been ruined! The only thing he has left is this hideout. If it is discovered, there will be trouble. Thinking of that, he marched out of the room and returned to the sitting room. Reuben deliberated for a long time if he should get a doctor for her and finally accepted after considering all his cards. "Hello, get me a doctor. Let the Chopper leave the airport tonight... Also, add some food supplies and a new laptop."

'I'm afraid it will be difficult. Alpha Chaos has his eyes and ears on everything in the City. We can't

person said. breathe too loudly, let alone do anything to cause suspicion,' the other

"So you are scared of him, but not scared of me, huh?"

'That's not the case. You of all people should know I can't betray you. I'm only worried about you getting discovered. What if he tracks the chopper to your destination?'

"You believed I didn't think about that? Next time let me finish!"

'I'm sorry, friend.'

"Maverick is scared for the world to know that his wife is missing. We should do it for him. When the chaos has grown bigger, release the pictures you took one after the other. I already taught you what to say. That should distract him from focusing on the chopper that would be leaving the airport." He ended the call after that.

"Once her reputation has been ruined, she would want to live here with me instead of being in the open. Am I not too intelligent? Hahahaha...!"

That night, news of Jeslyn's disappearance swept the internet by storm, but Maverick won't know that until the next day. At the same time, the chopper carrying a team of doctors and food supplies left the airport.

What Reuben failed to detect was his twin brother tracking the chopper.

The next morning, Rex stormed into the house and greeted Maverick with what was going on.

[ Newsflash!

The world's most beloved baby, VJ Cute has been missing for two weeks and her family is keeping the matter under wrap! ]

[Unbelievable!

Jeslyn ran away because her husband was cheating on her with a waitress!]

The comments were so aggressive that one would stop to wonder if Maverick owned all that insult.

'He's a scum!'

'Worst than a douchebag!'

'Our Jeslyn is so pitiful, look at how comfortable that bitch is in the cheating bastard's arms.' 'She's even wearing his shirt to tell the world how loving they are. Who the hell is that whore, does anyone know her??

Maverick closed the comment and threw the phone to the desk.

"Where did that come from?" he asked.

"The pictures were extracted from the CCTV footage at the hotel. Sister-in-law's fans are really angry and if they know which hospital that girl is, they might storm there."

"I asked you, where did that news come from? That person has a link to my wife's whereabout."
