195 Madam Caroline’s punishment
Madam Caroline looked from the check to Maverick. Her palm felt itchy, pushing her to write the
amount of Zeros she wanted but she stopped herself with difficulty. She loves money, but money is not
the only thing she wants. 1
“Renren, what do you mean by this?”
“The relationship broke the day you‘ left. However, you were not compensated enough. I guess that’s
why you feel the need to… poke your nose into our lives. On behalf of my dad… I’m here to pay you
off.”
“Brother, that’s too much! She made away with $500,000,000… half of dad’s assets when she left.
Because of that money, dad’s company almost went bankrupt and you had to step in at such a tender
age. How can you pay her anymore?!” Rex was vexed. He glared at Madam Caroline like a demon
would a more powerful human. He wanted to kill this woman but he knew he can’t bring himself to…
just like Maverick can’t see himself killing his mother.
Even if she is a bad woman, at least she was decent enough to suffer through nine months and push
them out instead of going for CS. She breastfed Maverick forsix months and Rex for three months, so
the two owe her a debt of gratitude for that. 1
She had done lots of horrible things to them, but still, they couldn’t touch her. Rex had vowed to kill her
if he finds out she was connected to what happened to Maverick, Valen, and Jeslyn but as of now,
nothing points to her. He just hopes that if she was truly guilty, he’d be able to carry out his vow without
thinking of kinship.
Maverick patted Rex’s shoulder and said; “call it… Charity”
Madam Caroline swallowed the insult and took a deep breath. “I can’t accept your offer. All I want is for
us to reunite as a family. I’m ready to make amends.”
“Hmph! Do you still see us as children? Do I look like that child you almost drowned in a pool of mud?
Do I?!”
Maverick squeezed Rex’s shoulder, prompting Rex to stop talking and look at him. Then Maverick
slowly blinked at him.
Rex didn’t talk anymore after that. He understood that his brother didn’t want him to reveal his
vulnerability, else this conniving woman would sink her fangs into his weakness and won’t let him go,
ever!
“This is your first and last offer,” Maverick said.
Madam Caroline’s fingers shook, her thoughts conflicting with each other. Still, she didn’t budge.
At that moment, Piper rushed in. She froze when she saw the two men. She was called by her personal
servant that Maverick and Rex were in her house. She immediately ordered the car to be turned
around and here she is!
Rex looked back. Seeing who it was, he almost threw a knife at her. If Rex hates anyone other than his
mother, then it’s Piper.
Although what Piper did that almost made him get drowned was due to a child’s instinctive reaction
towards strangers, Rex refused to forgive her.
Then while growing up, she became a total bitch to him after she found out he was her older brother.
She would rile up bullies to bully him and then call the teachers on him when he fights back.
Piper went as far as setting him up with a girl who claimed he raped her. If not for Maverick and
Celestine who appeared at the station with evidence, he would have spent some time behind bars.
After all, Maverick was still struggling to hold his ground at that time.
There were other things she did that he cannot speak of. Although Rex took his revenge later on, he
still detests her.
“Mom,” she hurried to stand beside her mother, looking lost with the check on the table. “What is going
on?”
“Your brother wants me to sell my rights as a mother.” She replied while staring at Maverick’s stoic
face.
Piper frowned. “Older brother, don’t you think you are going too far?”
“Who asked you to speak?” Maverick gave her a side–eye.
Piper lowered her head while fidgeting with her fingers. “I- I’m sorry.”
Maverick ignored her and picked up the checkbook. “This is your last chance.” He said and turned out
to leave. However, he paused after a few steps and looked over his shoulder. “I took back what you
owe me.” With that said, he walked away with Rex.
Madam Caroline frowned. What does he mean by that? What does she owe him? She took her phone.
to call but instead, a call came in.
“Mrs. Xu, we don’t know what happened but the money in your accounts was withdrawn. We are trying
to trace where the money went, but-”
“What rubbish are you telling me?…” Her mind snapped to what Maverick just said and cried out;
“Renren has my money! File a lawsuit against him this instant!” She screamed.
“Ma’am, we will need evidence to=”
“F*ck you and your evidence! If you can’t find one, plant one! I don’t care how you do it. If I don’t see
my money in my account before three days, I’ll have your head!!” She ended the call and shrieked.
Piper got a fright and took a step back. “Mum, calm down, will you?… What happened?”
Madam Caroline ignored her and opened her bank app. Checking the balance of her multiple banks,
instead of nine digits in all five banks, there was $0.00 staring back at her. 1
She lost her balance and fell back on the couch in a dead faint.
“Mom!… Guards!” Piper screamed and called the guards. In no time, three hefty guards showed up.
“Help my mother to her room, I’ll get the doctors.” She immediately took her phone and started to call
for an emergency.
Jeslyn was still with Valen when her phone beeped. She took it to see a message from her bank
alerting her that a deposit of $500 billion was made into her account. Jeslyn blinked a few times. She
didn’t understand the message. She could have called it a scam but her bank doesn’t make such
mistakes. 3
