Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 352

352 [Bonus chapter] Daytime robbery

Meanwhile, the minute everyone heard the last words Rex said, they immediately grabbed their pens and started signing. Once they were done, Lawyer Spid's team collected the contracts. 1 "Young Master Rex, please, will you beg for leniency for us too?" Mr. Wilson asked with pleading eyes.

"Hmm, it depends on my mood. Pray that my sister-in-law cooks me something delicious, or that a lot of money enters my account. Who knows..." he said lazily.

"I was about to donate five billion for a charity project. It would be better if it goes into Young Master Rex's pocket." Lawyer Spid said from his sleep.

The people's faces felt like they were pushed into a cow's dung. They all knew what lawyer Spid did

there.

He has not only closed all doors to pleading, but he also sealed the windows to negotiation. Now they must give Young Master Rex money. Also, they must not offer anything less than 5 billion.

Five billion was nothing compared to what they are worth, but the thought of giving such an amount after giving their shares that are worth more than 20 billion was what they cannot stomach. Although they were angry, the board of directors, 25 of them, transferred 5 billion upward to Rex's

account. Meanwhile, Lawyer Spid who started the daytime robbery was still 'sleeping!

If only they knew where lawyer Spid and Rex got the idea of extorting money from enemies, they would have all ganged up to kill Jeslyn... if only they are tired of living though. 2 CEO Lim watched speechlessly as a series of beeping sounds coming from Rex's phone continued to interrupt his brain cells.

What can he do? Everything going on here was partially his fault. If he didn't turn the rage he had for Rex on Piper, none of this would be happening. CEO Lim made up his mind, he was never going to let

any

of the shareholders know that he was the cause of their predicament. They should keep believing that everything they are facing now is the result of the wrong decisions they all made. Unfortunately, CEO Lim's knowledge of Rex was too slim.

After everyone, including the old grandma, had transferred money to Rex, they thought they could

leave.

"Where do you think you're going? The play had just begun."

Rex turned to CEO Lim and continued. "I heard there are wicked people in 'Paradise in hell' but I never thought I'd come across one. Everyone here today is facing this because of -" "Young Master Rex, what do you want?!" CEO Lim immediately cut Rex off, knowing where he was driving at. The little bastard was about to reveal his secret!

"I want your shares. Isn't that obvious?"

The man took a deep breath. He has other companies that he can fall back to. Although Rainbow Entertainment was the fastest growing company among his other companies, those aren't measly either. "Fine, I'll give you the shares. Anything after that?" He asked to be sure.

Rex shook his head. "Nothing else," then smiled.

CEO Lim knew too well not to trust Rex but he had no choice, so he signed the contract.

Once he was done, lawyer Spid's team took the contract. They spread them in front of Rex who signed them all before Lawyer Spid's team distributed the other parties' copies of the signed contracts to them to seal the deal.

When they all thought the matter has ended, Rex smiled and said:

"CEO Lim, I was raised to uphold justices. I can never see evil and take my eyes

"Rex Lu!!"

off it."

"Don't scream my name like that. I might get angry." he glared at the man before he smiled and continued; "Your son-"

"Lawyer Spid, I'll pay the 3 billion for the contract I tore, please take Young Master Rex home."

"When did I say you should pay 3 billion?" Lawyer Spid asked with a dreamy voice. "I thought others paid 10 billion and more?" he yawned again and went back to sleep.

CEO Lim pointed a finger at Lawyer Spid; "Y-Y- You!" His finger started to shake as he could no longer contain his rage, he spat out blood.

"When did he get injured? Is one of you killing him with black magic already for making you lose so much today?" Rex frowned.

"N-no, Young Master Rex!" The board of directors screamed.

"Then he must be faking it," Rex concluded as if he had no idea what was happening.

"CEO Lim, I can see you're ill. Let's conclude this once and for all. Show me all you have in your bank accounts." Rex requested. "What?! Over my dead body!!"

"As you

wish," Rex turned the laptop he used earlier and went to work.

"Wh- what are you doing?!" The CEO panicked.

"Doing what I know how to do best."

"Don't you dare!" The CEO opened his drawer and pulled out a gun. With his hand shaking with fury, he pointed it at Rex, thinking he can use that to threaten the 'boy' to stop. "If you don't stop, I'll shoot!" 1

Rex only raised his head and snorted before going back to what he was doing.

"What I detest the most when trying to catch some sleep is screaming. CEO Lim, are you the only one with a voice here? Are you trying to win a screaming contest?" Lawyer Spid slowly opened his eyes. He took a deep breath when he saw the gun in the man's hand. "My instinct was right. You're irredeemable. Susan," Lawyer Spid stretched his hand towards Susan.

In a blink of an eye, a gun had landed in Lawyer Spid's hand. Before anyone could think or turn their

heads, the sound of a gunshot reverberated in the office.

Rex froze and slowly raised his head with widened eyes. He held his chest as he looked at CEO Lim who was holding his right hand with a shocked look on his face like he couldn't believe what just happened.

Everyone in the room felt their soul had left them when they heard that gunshot.
