Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

"Meanwhile, I’m not saying this for you to think about it. After all, I’m done with this establishment. Pray that her brothers don’t decide to make an example of you all, it will be fun to watch from the side if they do." With that, she left.

The others stayed silent for a while before someone broke the silence.

"I thought Ms. Maria was a good businesswoman, Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. I thought too highly of her."

"Indeed, she has no foresight."

"That’s right. She’ll regret what she did very soon."

Meanwhile, Ms. Maria, who was inside her car that was slowly leaving the company, spotted Rex’s fiery red car driving past and heading towards Rainbow Entertainment.

A small smile crept onto her lips and she slowly shook her head before closing her eyes. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Whatever happens to Rainbow Entertainment is no longer her business.

...

Rex entered the company without hindrance from the guards or staff. Rather, he was getting surprised looks from everyone as if he was some deity that appeared in the lower Realm.

Rex smirked as he continued walking slowly towards the exclusive Elevator. He was so bold that he didn’t stop at the reception or ask questions about the CEO’s office, which left minds wondering if he was here before.

Well, Rex has never been here before, however, he knows the in and out of the company, thanks to him spying on Piper to know how she was fairing in the past.

"Y– Young Master Rex, you cannot–" the receptionist froze when the handsome blue-haired young man turned and smiled at her.

She felt her heart exploding with little butterflies that she didn’t know when he went into the elevator.

By the time she snapped back to reality, the elevator number was already counting.

She held her pounding chest and slowly walked back to her position, totally forgetting to inform the CEO about Rex’s arrival.

...

Inside the meeting room, the board of directors was about to leave when the door was pushed open.

Standing at the other side of the door was a smiling Rex.

"Hi," he waved at them before stepping in. Seeing how shocked they looked, he stopped smiling and sighed. "It seems y’all weren’t expecting me. But you should have." he frowned slightly.

Looking around the table, a few of the seats were empty because the occupants were all standing and staring at him in a daze.

Rex drew Mr. Wilson’s chair and sat on it before placing one leg on the other.

"CEO Lim, how have you been? Do you still recognize me?" He asked with a smile.

CEO Lim snapped out of his dazed state and his mind flashed back to what Rex did to his son.

"You– what are you doing here?" the man gritted his teeth and suppressed his rage.

"You invited me, have you forgotten?" He chuckled at their stunned faces.

"Young Master Rex, when did we invite you?" A man asked.

"You are holding my sister captive, meaning you’re inviting me. Isn’t that obvious enough?" He asked with confusion lacing his eyes.

"Your sister?" Mr. Wilson asked with a frown.

Rex looked at him and rolled his eyes before facing the CEO. "Mr. Lim, why have you been seeking my trouble for so long? Do you miss me that much?"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." The CEO glared at him.

"Oh, you don’t? Then you will soon." Rex looked at his watch and then shifted his gaze to the CEO’s assistant that was standing behind Mr. Lim.

"Is that video equipment of yours working?" Rex pointed at the screen on the wall.

The Assistant nodded speechlessly.

"Great," he grabbed one of the laptops that were sitting on the long table, and in no time, his fingers started flying around the keyboard.

The people watched him with their hearts in their throats. They never expected Rex to be here. Hope Ms. Maria’s prediction isn’t coming to pass.

With that thought flashing through the minds of the few of them, a fishy taste assaulted their buds. They knew they were done for if Rex was here for Piper.

A few minutes later, a smile settled on Rex’s lips as he stared at the series of complicated-looking codes on the monitor. He raised his gaze and watched everyone’s uneasy looks before hitting the ’enter’ button.

The screen in the meeting room lit up with the image of Maverick sitting in his office and making an announcement.

Hacking into all electronic devices just to drop a warning is something that applies to Alpha Chaos alone. It is rare for Maverick to do this but anytime he did, it means the situation is extremely important.

"It has come to my notice that some of you don’t know what’s good for you. I’ll make an example out of Rainbow Entertainment to show you what’s best for you."

The screen went out after Maverick’s words, leaving the world confused about what was going on.

Rainbow Entertainment is known to be stainless, so what have they done to offend the devil?

Some people immediately linked it to the announcement that Rainbow Entertainment published a few hours ago. The announcement was a blow to Piper’s reputation and she had been getting backlash from netizens.

No one thought that Alpha Chaos would come out to defend his sister, after all, this wasn’t the tenth time Piper had been dragged through the internet. What changed?

While the people were left wondering what changed, Rex was bullying the board of directors and CEO.

"Listen, I’m not a violent person, I hate violence. Which is why instead of blowing this company up, I’m here to claim it," he beamed.

"You’re going overboard!!" The CEO yelled.

"Am I?" Rex shook his head. "I’m not sure. Going overboard is what my older brother is about to do, but I won’t tell you that... it’s a secret," he whispered.

"Y– you mean to say that your brother is also going to do something?" A scared elderly woman asked.

"Of course, grandma. Did you think I came here for my brother? Hahahaha... don’t kid me please, I’m not an errand boy, you know," he laughed then continued.

"I’m here for myself. So grandma, what do you think about my proposal? Huh?"
