Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 406

406 Threatening his mother

Brian barged into the office with an assistant who was running after him. With her erratic breath, she explained fearfully, "Ma'am, I- I couldn't stop him." (1

The sophisticated woman slowly looked up from her laptop and waved her hand to dismiss the lady.

then her eyes moved After she left, Nancy folded one leg on the other as she stared at her angry son,

he was holding and raised a brow with her lips stretching into a small smirk.

"What brought you here?"

"Why did you kill her?!"

"Do I need a reason to get rid of a thorn in my flesh?"

"Mother!!" he screamed, then ruffled his hair out of frustration. "What was her crime?" his voice lowered, almost like a whisper while controlling his tears.

They trailed her this morning, thinking she was on a mission, only for her to stop at her company. Just when they were about to relax, his father got a call that the hospital where Pink was hospitalized was burning. By the time they got there, the hospital could no longer be saved, let alone hold a human.

"She was an eyesore, just like every other eyesore I killed," she said carelessly.

"You are too cruel to have a business being in this world," Brian said and pointed his gun at her.

Nancy's mind flashed to what her friend told her years ago.

"Nancy, you're making a mistake by stealing that woman's child. In the long run, he'd hate you and if a situation comes that he is forced to choose between you both, he'd choose his birth mother, I

guarantee you."

Because of her friend's warning, Nancy killed the lady, and everyone who knew about the matter. Including the nurses, doctors, and the guards that were there... except for her most trusted. The arrogant Nancy thought she had hidden the truth well, but here, Brian hasn't even found out that Alex is his mother, yet he's already pointing a gun at her.

"Hahahahaha..." She laughed boisterously for a long time before she got up from her seat and walked up to him.

"Can you really kill your mother?..." she poked his chest with her finger and continued, "Are. you. that. heartless?"

She spelt the words with every poke she made with her long nails-provoking him to show what he was made of. If he truly shoots her, she instantly get rid of him right here and now.

Brian's grip on the gun tightened. He was scared of himself. If he were to answer that question, it would be, Yes!.... But why?

Was he really that heartless that he'd kill his own mother for the sake of a friend?! Those thoughts scared him so much that he shifted his gun away from Nancy's face and started shooting at everything else in the office-destroying things while screaming his guts out.

The guards that were stationed outside the door, including the Assistants and everyone else at the

the

workstation in front of the CEO's office, all barged into the CEO's office.

Their Jaws were left hanging when they saw the damage Brian had done.

From the expensive antiques, to the floor-to-ceiling window, nothing was spared from receiving a bullet. However, the floor-to-ceiling window was unharmed because of the bulletproof material it was made of.

The guards rushed forward to hold him down but Nancy raised a hand to stop them. They all watched as Brian turned the office into a complete mess, with broken things everywhere on the floor.

Once he had emptied his bullets, he stared sharply at his mother and declared, "We are just getting started, Mom!" After that, he turned and left.

Nobody dared to breathe loudly for fear that they'd be used as scapegoats to quench her rage. Although Nancy was slightly smiling, the workers all knew it was a deadly smile..

"Clean this up, and get back to work," she ordered.

The workers were stunned. Is she not angry? However, her next words killed them.

"Inform the head of departments to bring in their reports for assessment in one hour."

The last assessment was done three days ago and the next would be five days from now. How did she expect them to put things together in one hour?!

The Assistants shook their heads in their hearts; if they had known that Brian would be a handful when he entered the office, they wouldn't have allowed him.

Three days later...

Brian, was seen racing across the city after receiving a call from his father. Getting to the security-flooded villa, he met Pink sitting in a wheelchair, staring at flowers in the garden. Sudden joy filled his heart as a smile spread across his face.

"You are alive!" the words escaped his lips.

Pink turned her head in the young man's direction and also smiled, "As long as my son still isn't aware of my existence, I refuse to die."

"Who is your son? Tell me and I'll fetch him here for you," he said while walking slowly towards her. For some reason, Brian felt sad when he thought he wasn't that son.

"Will he believe my story?" she asked while staring at him in the face.

Brian squatted in front of her and held the armrest of her wheelchair. "You never know until you try," he said slowly with emotion in his voice. He felt her pain and genuinity.

"If you were in his shoes, would you believe me?" her gaze held his as she asked that.

"I would..." he responded and held her hand. "Deep down, every child wants a selfless mother like you. For your son, you entered your enemies' den, not thinking that you might die in the process. You fight your battles alone without seeking accolades from anyone. You care about your son's happiness, which is why, despite knowing him and where he might be, you didn't take advantage of your rights to disrupt his life. You..."

"What if it's you?"

Brian froze, then slowly looked up at her, "Huh?"

"What if you are my son?" tears filled her eyes as she returned her son's baffled stare. 1
