Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 192

192 The fight

"I'm your mother, so that makes me-"

"I only recognize one mother... Jeslyn." Valen cut her off.

"I am pregnant with your sibling. Don't you get that!? Don't you have compassion for your sibling?"

Valen sighed like he was tired of explaining this same thing over and over, so he broke it down. "You aren't the first to give birth outside your baby Papa's house. Dad will find you a house. He'll send you money and he'll also give you servants to help you with everyday troubles until you give birth. Is my motive clear enough now?" He asked.

"Why do you hate me so much?"

Valen looked at her like she was stupid, "because I don't like you. Isn't it obvious?"

"I don't accept that. You are lying. You can't hate me because I'm your mother! I gave birth to you! So you can't detest me, you can't!!"

"Do I need your permission to hate you? You are disgusting and not worthy to be my mother!" Valen yelled and pressed the button on his wheelchair to move away from her.

"You little piece of sh!t! You are just like your worthless mother!"

Valen paused. "What did you say?" He frowned.

"I- I..."

"You said you're not my mother, where is my mother?!" He immediately put the words in her mouth.

"I... I didn't say that. I-"

"Vera, where is my mother? You know her whereabouts, so where is she?!" Seeing that she wouldn't. speak, Valen moved his chair to the stairway. "I have to inform dad." "N-no, you can't!" She panicked and rushed forward.

Just as she was about to grab the chair, she slipped and roughly pushed the wheelchair forward.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

"Va-"

Valen screamed as the chair lost its balance. Vera was about to shout but stopped when she saw the amount of speed the chair was moving with.

It was a twirling staircase. Before he gets to the floor, he would have hit his head several times on the balusters and railings- Meaning, he might either be dead or half dead before he gets to the ground, so, a smile found its way to her lips.

Jeslyn had no idea what was going on. She was coming from her room when she heard Valen's shrills. She took to her heels as the servants' panicking voices grew louder.

Getting to the landing close to the door, Jeslyn saw Valen hitting the railings while screaming. She was about to run down the stairs when she caught sight of the smile on Vera's face before she turned her head to the side to look at her.

"It's you!"

"Jeslyn?..." Vera was shocked to find Jeslyn beside her. She wanted to explain but knowing that she had hit a dead end, her face changed instantly and she attacked Jeslyn.

Jeslyn quickly moved back and avoided the kick. She looked at how far Valen had fallen and gritted her teeth. He was still far from the ground and even though the guards ran up the stairs, with the way the chair was falling, the guards won't be able to save him. They would rather get injured.

The only way they can help is to place something soft along the lower stairs to prevent Valen from getting badly injured.

"You have to go through me before saving him." Vera smiled and then attacked Jeslyn again.

Jeslyn was more worried about Valen than this girl in front of her. So all she was doing was dodging and finding ways to bypass her so she could run after Valen. She didn't care if she could save him or not. She just wanted the child to know that someone was there for him so he won't be afraid anymore. and try to stop the chair if he could.

As she was fighting. Vera came to realize that Jeslyn was not as weak as she seemed to be.

'Did I miscalculate?" she thought.

Just when she was a little distracted, Jeslyn released a powerful kick to her stomach, sending her falling back and hitting her back on the wall.

"Hmmm..." she grunted in pain.

Jeslyn ignored her and started to run towards the stairs. Seeing this, Vera pulled herself up and went after Jeslyn. Getting closer, she pulled Jeslyn's long hair from behind.

Before Jeslyn turned, she saw Maverick entering through the front door in haste, so her suspended heart relaxed and she turned herself around to face Vera. Since Maverick is here, Valen is safe. However, same cannot be said about Vera.

Jeslyn's hair was still tightly held by Vera and was pulled to the front. Seeing that Maverick had entered, Vera got scared and started to think of quick schemes to get out of this. However, Jeslyn didn't give her that chance and directly punched her in the eye to let go of her hair. "Ahh!" Vera screamed and released Jeslyn's hair.

The next minute, another punch fell on her chest, followed by another that landed on ber stomach again and again. Jeslyn was furious and totally forgot that Vera was pregnant. Vera pulled back and rested her back on the wall. She held her stomach as she was in grave pain.

Seeing this, Jeslyn instinctively turned to look and saw that Maverick had run up the stairs and caught the wheelchair. She sighed in relief. However, just when she was about to turn to Vera, a white substance blocked her view.

Out of reflex, she turned her back and lowered her head. Then she heard a sizzling sound on her shirt. She was wearing one of Maverick's black shirts over bum shorts. The shirt was tied on the waist and buttons opened to reveal her white tube top.

Jeslyn instantly loosened the knob she tied in front and pulled the shirt off, then threw it to the floor.

Both she and Vera watched the shirt continue to corrode right in front of them. Smoke popped out of the area. After the smoke subsided, a large hole as wide as a person's head appeared on the shirt. 1
