Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Meanwhile, Hwang Min who was also watching, had a slight frown on his face. Why is his son doing this? For 25 years they’ve been telling him the danger of exposing his identity, so why would he do that without consulting him?

The man didn’t believe that Pink would advise Brian to do this because she has more to lose than anyone else.

No matter how hard he tried to think of who instigated Brian, he couldn’t find anyone.

"Where has Brian been these days?" he asked.

"Aside from your villa where Madam Alex is, he has been to Delight Hotels a couple of times." Venom replied.

’Jeslyn...’ the man shook his head. ’Jeslyn is a feather and isn’t intelligent enough to scheme. Besides, she has been hoeing up in the hotel room ever since she came to the city. She’s too scared to leave or even see her mother.’ he thought.

The thought that Jeslyn could be up to something immediately evaporated from his mind.

"Brian, what are you up to?" he murmured.

...

With Brian’s identity revealed, the world was left in disbelief. From acquaintances to fans, they couldn’t believe they’d been interacting with the Young Master of THE SIN... which also means he is the nephew to the First Lady of the Country!

First Lady Luisa was in deep thought as she stared at Brian on the TV. She didn’t believe that her sister would allow her son to reveal his identity.

Right from the start, the excuse Nancy gave for concealing Brian’s identity was lame, but who was she to tell her? The fact that she did not die like the rest of those Nancy despised in the Rong family is already more than enough.

And when Luisa offered to marry the President, Nancy knew Luisa was doing it to gain freedom from her, but Nancy didn’t hurt her, instead, she let Luisa marry the old man. When Luisa thought she was finally free, Nancy unleashed her wrath on Lisa’s unborn children... Thrice. No words said, no words asked. Until tomorrow, Luisa wouldn’t know why her older stepsister is hellbent on making her childless.

Luisa had long decided that if Brian wants to go against his mother, she’d support him to make sure they bring that malicious woman down from power. Now that she is starting to feel that Brian is up to something big, she would help him for the sake of her unborn child.

Luisa subconsciously hugged her stomach. She’s already four months pregnant and her stomach is starting to protrude. If something is not done to Nancy immediately, her child will be killed again.

The second branch of the Lu family...

Piper was seen staring dumbly at the TV screen without knowing what to say or do. So Brian is the son of her brother’s nemesis?

From the very beginning, she knew that Brian couldn’t be a pauper like Madam Caroline thought, but never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that he was the Young Master of THE SIN!

Now what will happen to their relationship? Will her brothers accept him?

"When is my mom coming back?"

The sharp words startled Piper and she turned to see Valen entering the house. He just returned from school.

"You’re back." Piper smiled.

"Hm," he replied without returning the smile.

"Sister-in-law and brother should be back next week."

"Ok." He said and went to his room.

Ever since it was known that she isn’t related to the Lu brothers, Valen has warmed up a little to Piper. He no longer show animosity towards her anymore and Piper could see that as a good sign to a better future.

...

At Hwang Cooperation...

Inside Mr. Hwang Min’s office...

"Paah!" Brian’s face turned from the slap he just received.

"Hold another press conference and tell them it was a prank!" Nancy was trying to maintain her facade of patience. When she arrived, she met the father and son discussing, so it solidified her belief that it was Hwang Min’s doing.

Brian chuckled, "Why?... Why should I? Is there something else you’re not telling me?"

"Brian, listen to your mother, the matter of your identity is complicated. Our enemies–"

"Who are those enemies?" Brian cut his father off for the first time. "Your only enemies...rather, rivals, are the three great families in the capital. Who else that I don’t know about?" his aura changed.

"Alpha Chaos is out of the capital and no one knows where he went, not even our system could detect his whereabouts. Do you still think that such a man is not an opponent to be feared?".

"Hahahaha...Dad, are you sure that is the reason you are keeping my identity hidden?"

"What are you talking about?" Hwang Min frowned.

Brian only smiled. He turned and was about to leave, then said to Nancy, "I won’t take back my words, not now, not ever!"

"Brian! Come back here!" Hwang Min roared, yet the boy left his office without looking back.

Nancy smiled as she observed her husband’s ’pretense.’ "Your play is so interesting. You put him up to it, yet pretend like you’re innocent. Hwang Min, this game you’re playing, I won’t let you win."

"You are indeed a worthy opponent, however putting our son’s life at risk to bring you down is not my thing. You’ve pushed him to the edge and now, he’s fighting back. I told you when he finally man up, you’ll suffer," he snorted and continued with his laptop.

Nancy gave him one last look before she stormed out of his office. They want to play a dirty game with her, she’s equal to the task. As for Brian, she’d show him what it means to go against her, so she thought.

.....

A week later...

Standing in front of Jeslyn in her hotel room was Brian with blood all over him. The Young Man was upset that he had been standing in front of Jeslyn for a long time, yet she didn’t raise her head from her laptop.

"Jeslyn!" he yelled.

Finally, she lifted her eyes and gave him a once-over look before she pointed at the bedroom door, "you reek of blood; go wash up," she lowered her eyes again to continue what she was doing.

She is chatting with her lovely son, so Brian’s issue is not so important right now.

Brian didn’t argue and just left to take his bath. After he was gone, Jeslyn remembered something and shifted her gaze to her assistant who was minding her business, drawing whatnot and then called; "Ani."

"Yes, Ms," she looked up at Jeslyn.

"Order a pair of jeans and a shirt for my Senior."

Ani scratched the back of her head and smiled, "I don’t know his size."

"Use my size... we have the same body structure," Rex chimed in from the long sofa he was lying on.

"Ok." she grabbed her phone to start making the order.

A while later, Brian came out of the bedroom looking clean and handsome with his hair combed backwards. After he took his seat beside Rex, Jeslyn finally put her laptop away to pay attention to him.

"It’s been a week, are you still angry?" he asked.

"You were attacked again?" She ignored his question.

Brian nodded and sighed.

"What do you think about your unending attacks?"

"I think it’s clear now... my parents were right all along, I shouldn’t have exposed myself."

Jeslyn nodded, "Stupid... how did you survive in the entertainment industry for so long with this brain of yours? I thought you were smarter than me... forget it. I was once stupid too." She rolled her eyes.

"You are twins and share the same idiosyncrasy. Hahaha..." Rex laughed which caused him to receive a glare from Jeslyn.
