THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
SIR ZACH
CHAPTERS 2
“Aren’t you breaching your agreement by attacking before the agreed date?” He asked with his eyes smiling.
“Hai, my mother-in-law will understand. She’s an elder, so I’m supposed to be given a head start as a junior.”
A deep-throated laughter tore through Maverick’s lips, “Hahahaha… What do I stand to gain?”
“Ah? What do you mean, Mr. Maverick?” Jeslyn feigned ignorance.
“Little brother has missed you.”
“Ahem,” she coughed. “Tell little brother that I’m not available.”
“How about you deliver the message yourself?” his lips curled into a cunning smile.
“Ehm, the thing is… ahem… oh, Valen! Valen wants me to help him do–”
“Valen isn’t at home.”
“Eh?” Jeslyn’s eyes widened in horror. “Where did you send my son?”
“He went on a vacation with Rex, so you have no excuse, Mrs. Lu.”
Jeslyn sighed. What’s the worst that can happen? Let’s just give in and go say Hi to little brother, after all, it’s been some weeks since she last visited him– he must be angry now.
….
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
Valen, who had ‘gone on a vacation’ was seen, standing in Rex’s sitting room, doing a stare-down contest with him.
After a long while of silence, he finally spoke up; “Take me back home.”
“No, your father instructed me to keep you here for a few days.”
“Uncle,” Valen started to walk towards Rex.
“Hey, hey, what do you want to do? Stay right there!”
“Do you know you’re very handsome?” Valen smiled with his eyes.
“Of course, I know I’m handsome!” Rex puffed up his chest.
“Exactly! Do you also know that Aunt Celestine is very pretty?”
“Without a doubt, hmph!”
“Good. Uncle, I have been meaning to say this for a long time.”
“What?”
“Let’s have a seat,” Valen gestured to the expensive-looking chairs in the massive sitting room.
Without knowing what his nephew was scheming, Rex sat with a fulfilled smile on his face. Valen has never told him he looked handsome before, if anything, the spoiled brat always abused him… wait!
Rex frowned with a skeptical look in his eyes, “Young man, what are you scheming?”
“Come on uncle, how can you think so lowly of me?” Valen sighed. “Have a seat.” He gestured with his jaw to the empty seats.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
After Rex sat down, he started looking suspiciously at Valen. This child was never like this. Ever since his mother came back, he minimized his terrorizing attitude and picked up the habit of scheming. Hope he’s not falling into one of his endless schemes.
“You are very handsome and Aunt Celestine is extremely beautiful… though not as beautiful as my mother. Aunt Celestine has traveled for a month and some weeks now and she hasn’t returned. Do you know what she’s doing ther–”
“Hey, you little brat, don’t you dare talk about your Aunt like that! I’ll spank you!”
“Stop yelling and listen,” he hissed in irritation. Seeing that Rex didn’t object, he continued, “If a child like me could see that you’re too young for Aunt Celestine, do you think she won’t notice?”
“Valen–”
“Let me finish, Uncle. A beautiful woman like Aunt Celestine would definitely know that you’re too young for her. Being a Super celebrity, she would have lots of suitors who are right for her age. It doesn’t matter if she loves them, provided they are a perfect fit… for example, I saw her picture at an event yesterday. On her left hand, there was no ring… I mean, the ring you gave her.” Valen flattened his lips after saying that.
Rex stared intently at his little nephew. He was right. Celestine and he fought a few days ago and she took the ring off, saying it was over. If a child could picture all that, why couldn’t he?
“Uncle, don’t say I didn’t warn you. A well-defined man like my dad might steal her from you… Uncle Matt is also very hands–”
“Start moving, I’ll send you back home!”
“But why? Dad carried me out of my bed and sent me here while I was still sleeping. I think he’d be mad at us both if we go back. Dad doesn’t want to see me, I’m sure.”
Rex stared incredulously at his little nephew who was suddenly behaving like an obedient child. “Valen,” he called.
“Yes, Uncle,” he blinked cutely.
“You hate girls, don’t you?”
“Mn,” he nodded.
“Your parents are about to make babies… three girls at once. If you don’t return home and stop them now, it might be too late.”
Valen bolted up from his seat and took a step but paused and sat back down with a sigh.
Rex’s smile froze when he saw this. “What are you doing sitting there?”
“What can I do if my mom and dad want to make babies? I told Dad the other day to make baby girls… five girls.”
“What?!! You– you…”
Valen nodded fervently, “But, I might go back home if you tell Dad that you drove me away and that I didn’t do anything to warrant that.”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“Tch, don’t be a slow thinker, Uncle. That is why Aunt Celestine will leave you for another man soon. You should think like the clever person that you are.” Valen got up and walked to Rex. He got onto his chair and drew closer to him, then said in a lowered voice.
“Send me back home and tell my dad you have an emergency, then go and catch Aunt Celestine red-handed. I’m sure she’d feel guilty.”
Valen has no idea if Rex and Celestine fought. He was just making things up to mess with Rex so he could send him back home, but he didn’t want to take the blame because Maverick might decide to send him to boarding school like he threatened.
That man has been bullying Valen ever since the incident where he interrupted him and Jeslyn the other day.
Maverick threatened that if Valen made any mistake this month, he’d send him to a boarding school and Valen would rather stop going to school than go there.
However, the little boy knows that if his father was able to convince Jeslyn, she would undoubtedly support Maverick and tell him to go to a boarding school. Valen is trying to fight against that because he can’t say NO if Jeslyn agrees.
“Paah! You naughty brat! You want to use me, huh?!” Rex realized that Valen was scheming against him the minute he said those last words. Stupid him, he almost fell for it!
“Hehe, now that you’ve hit me, do you know that I can confidently tell my mom that you’ve been bullying me?” Valen raised a brow, looking extremely cute with a small daring smile on his lips.
“What are you–”
“I have a video of you hitting me. My mom will definitely charge you billions like she did to you the other day. Hehe.”
Rex sighed and shook his head. Indeed, Jeslyn had suddenly become greedy for money that she goes about charging people billions when offended. When asked, she would say she’s preparing her future daughter-in-law’s dowry, imagine that!
“You win, let’s go to your parents,” Rex relented.
Valen beamed and began to walk languidly to the door, conceiving how to cause trouble for his father.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
Meanwhile, at the Lu hospital, Inspector Fin walked in with Beverly behind him. Once they got to the VIP room, they saw Piper sitting on her bed and watching TV.
“Hey,” Inspector Fin smiled.
“Hey, you’re here,” Piper returned the smile with her lips sealed. Her gaze traveled to Beverly who was behind Inspector Fin and she nodded slightly in greeting.
Beverly also responded with a nod of her head.
“Come in, what may I offer you,” Manager Sarafina stood up and gestured to the white couch in the ward.
“I’m fine, thank you,” Beverly said as she walked in with her heels making clicking sounds, drawing everyone’s attention to her beautiful blue five or six-inch heels.
“Your shoes are pretty,” Piper praised.
“You’re way prettier,” Beverley returned the compliment.
“I haven’t heard those words in weeks. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Beverly replied while pressing her phone.
“I came around two days ago but you weren’t in your ward.” Inspector Fin chimed in.
“Oh?” Piper glanced at Manager Sarafina. It was clear she didn’t tell Piper about it.
“My bad, I forgot to inform you, I’m sorry.” Sarafina apologized.
“It’s fine,” Piper picked up the apple on her plate with a fork and began to munch on it.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
A long and awkward silence filled the ward for a long time with everyone doing their thing before Inspector Fin cleared his throat and asked; “How is your health now?”
“Doctor Matt said I’m fine now.”
“When are you leaving the hospital?” he asked.
“Ah–” Piper stopped talking when she caught sight of Beverly minding her business and typing away on her phone. “She’s your…” she stretched the last word with a questioning look.
“She’s my–”
“His childhood friend.” Beverly butted in and smiled with her lips sealed.
Inspector Fin slowly glanced at the nonchalant Beverly for a while before he looked away.
“Oh?” Piper could feel the tension between the two and from her experience, she could tell they weren’t just childhood friends. Something stronger was going on between them. She thought.
“I’m Piper, Piper Xu,” she took the Initiative to introduce herself.
“I’m Beverly, Beverly Xiang.”
“Nice to meet you. Sorry, we had to meet in this kind of place.”
“I don’t have a problem, ” Beverly replied.
Another silence swept through the room for a while before Piper’s phone rang. She glanced at the ID before handing the phone to Manager Sarafina. The Manager picked up the call and wanted to leave the room but Piper shook her head, asking her not to.
“Hello,” Manager Sarafina said into the phone.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 1 – 10
The CEO of Rainbow Entertainment was seen, sitting among other higher-ups as he spoke into the phone. It was he who called Piper.
“Hello, Piper, how are you do–?”
“Mr. CEO, what are you calling for?” Manager Sarafina cut him off.
“Sarafina?” The man frowned, and so did others. “What are you doing holding Piper’s phone?”
“That does not answer my question. I thought I already made things clear to you. My artist and I are no longer coming back to your company!”
“I don’t mind if you don’t come back, but Piper has to return.”
“Hahaha, on what basis?”
“On the basis that she will be breaching her contract if she doesn’t come back. The company is ready to forgo the bad image she caused the company in these few weeks. When she returns, she will hold a press conference and tell everyone that she wasn’t kidnaped. She went out on a vacation with Brian, behind the company’s back and had a bad experience with some thugs that led to her situation. You don’t need to worry, she’ll only get bashed for a few days before the PR team would think of helping her come up with something. You know how it works.”
“My artist wants to terminate her contract.” Manager Sarafina gritted her teeth to suppress her rage. The selfishness of this company is alarming!
“Rainbow Entertainment made Piper! We gave her fame, wealth, and everything she has now! We covered all her atrocities and made sure none was revealed!!”
“As an agency, it is your duty to protect your artist’s image! It is mandated upon you to care for your artists! But what did you do? You cared less about an artist who made you millions of dollars. You should be grateful that we’re not pressing charges.”
“Sarafina put Piper on the line.”
“My artist doesn’t want to talk to you,” she ended the call after that.
“I told you they won’t change. Anyway, do what you see fit. You know what I want.” Piper said.
“There’s no other choice, I guess. We’ll have to take them to court.”
Piper sighed and rested her back on the bed. She can’t call her mom for help now, nor can she handle Rainbow Entertainment by herself. Manager Sarafina also cannot do much because her flaw is with them. If she becomes a threat to their money, they will undoubtedly release Manager Sarafina’s s3x tape to the world.
A person like Piper wouldn’t care if her s3x tape or naked pictures are posted, but because Manager Sarafina is a conservative person, that blackmail material was her weakness.
“I have the money, so find the best lawyers you can. I don’t want to use my mom’s.”
“Sure,” Manager Sarafina replied.
It was after the matter was settled that Piper remembered she had guests. “Ah, sorry for seeing this ugly sight. I hope you’re not–”
