Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 5

At the Lees family mansion…

Grandpa Lee could be seen patting Jeslyn on the back as she cried on his lap. After crying for a long time, she finally raised her head to look at her grandfather.

”W– when did you find out about…sniff, about the poison? ”

The old mans pupil dilated, She knew? he thought.

”Don lie to me, grandfather! ” She yelled, knowing he was about to hide things from her.

She had lived with this man for 5 years after coming back from abroad, so she was very familiar with the expressions he makes when he wants to lie or cover things up.

The old man swallowed and asked: ”How is my health related to you changing grooms at the last minute? ”

”Because someone sent me messages on my phone… ” thats right. Her phone! She searched her body but couldn find her phone. ”Where is my phone? ”

”Your phone hasn been with you since we left the wedding venue, Miss. ” A young lady with her hair made into a ponytail said from where she was standing.

”You said what? ” Jeslyn couldn believe it. Her phone was with her even when she was hugging her grandfather… no, thats not right. There was no phone with her… then where did she drop her phone!?

”Maya, please, search for my phone. The evidence is on my phone. Call the hotel management, do everything you can to search for my phone! ”

”Yes, Miss. ” Maya, who seems to be Jeslyns assistant, walked a little distance from them to place calls to the hotel.

”Child, calm down, breathe in and breathe out…yeah, like that. Calmly tell me what the problem is. I don need evidence to believe you. ” The old man gently rubbed her back to calm her down.

”Grandfather, Ray, hes a bad person. I was in my hotel room… ” her mind flashed back to the event of that morning.
