Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 382

382 Madam Caroline's past (3)

Rex was beyond flabbergasted. He just sat there at a loss, not knowing how to react. He just couldn't believe that his mother hated him so much because of their father. What about Piper then? Rex ignored his injury that was starting to take effect and asked. (1

... And Piper? She isn't my dad's daughter. Why do you hate her too?" He was curious and wanted to know everything that happened to this bitter woman.

"Because she's not my daughter!" She chuckled.

Rex's blurry eyes widened in shock. "Wh- what do you mean?" he shook his head and wiped the blood that was running to his eye.

"Ha, how can I give birth to Piper when you and your brother were a mistake in the first place?... I got pregnant a few times but got rid of them, so your father was angry and promised to send me away without a penny if I killed his children again. So when I got pregnant with Lu Ren, all my maids were changed, except that slut that birthed Kimberly or whatever her name is.

"That wench only obeyed your father and wouldn't do anything I told her. So I had no choice but to keep the baby. When I was pregnant with him, he was such a lovely child..."

Her eyes looked dreamy like she was reminiscing about beautiful moments.

"He didn't give me trouble, He was calm in my stomach and made me happy. When I gave birth to him, he was also so peaceful and loved to sleep a lot." She giggled like a mad woman. She put the picture down and made her hands like she was carrying a baby.

"I really thought he would take after me. But as he was growing older, I realized he loved his father more." Her face changed and she let her hands fall to her side.

"How dare he! How could he love someone I hated the most in my life?! So I started mistreating him but the child didn't seem to care about me or my punishment at all. At three, he was already rebellious and couldn't hide his hatred for me." She picked up the framed picture again and continued. "There was a time he caught me staring at a picture of Vance and me kissing, that cursed child grabbed the picture, ran out of the house, and destroyed it! My failed attempt to run after him made me fall down the stairs and that was when I realized I was pregnant with you." She looked at Rex with hatred.

"You, I wanted to get rid of you but your father left the office to take care of me when he found out. You gave me so much trouble that I sometimes faint from the discomfort of carrying you. Some months after you were born, the first name you called was; 'Dada!'

"I gave birth to you! I suffered for nine months, yet you recognized your father but didn't acknowledge me! You were a wicked child even before you were born, so why would I like She laughed maniacally.

you

at all?!"

"As for Piper, tch! After I left Lu Hao, I knew I'd lost my backing, so I marked Xu Ming and wanted to be his wife but his mother, Matriarch Xu was on my case. That old witch hated me to the core and stopped Ming from marrying me by giving her friend's daughter in marriage to him.

I was pissed. To get her back, I seduced her husband, Old Man Xu and we slept together. The next

morning, he didn't want anything to do with me anymore and paid me off to leave the country. How dare he?

"Angered, I lied a week later that I was pregnant. He wanted me to abort the pregnancy but I threatened to use the media against him. For that, he grew weak and accepted to take care of the pregnancy. "He got me a place which he refused to visit. I knew my secret would be revealed if I didn't do something, so I found a desperate woman who needed money for her family. I told her what she needed to do, which was to get pregnant on my behalf... Surrogate mother.

"She agreed. After that, I forced Old Man Xu to come to my house, drugged him, and let him have sex with the woman a few times. After she got pregnant, I took the woman in and took care of her until she gave birth, so I killed her and took her baby."

Outside the door, Piper who was eavesdropping covered her mother to muffle her cries.

side?

Inside, Madam Caroline continued, "...Who would have known that luck was on my side? Piper turned out to have the same rare blood as you and your brother, so it was easy to manipulate you three.

"I asked Old Man Xu for an exorbitant amount for child care which he didn't dare to refuse but I

wasn't satisfied. I needed more... A status, so I made it known to his wife that I was carrying her husband's child. Hahahaha... You needed to see her devastation. While the family was in chaos, I sent people to kill his wife and forced him to marry me but who would have known that the stupid old man would suddenly grow a spine after a few years?

"He divorced me but with a large amount for compensation... My life was ruined, thanks to your worthless father! So, did you expect me to hot take revenge on him?!"

Rex couldn't react. He was amazed. After a long time, he finally got hold of himself and asked; "Why are you telling me all this?" Although he wanted to know, this was too much information.

Madam Caroline got up on her feet and smiled derisively. "Your brother and you took away Piper whom I had been using to achieve my aim. Not just that, Jeslyn ruined my reputation and stole my money, then you people sold my property. Now I have nothing left to live for. Years back, you killed my Levi, so you all should join him!'

She took out a black gun from her bag in a swift movement and pointed it at Rex.

Rex shook his head to clear his vision. His eyes were blurry, coupled with the large amount of blood that had blinded one of his eyes.

"Do you think you'll go scot-free if you kill me?"

"I know that Lu Ren will come after me but before he leaves the meeting with the Living ancestors of the Lu family, it would be too late. Hahahaha..."
