Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

”Hmm… that woman, Alice remained a bitch even to her death! ” It was clear that the lady on the video was upset about Jeslyns mother.

”Thats why her husband hated her… so, why did you call me here? Don tell me its only to have a taste of me, ” Ray said.

”That aside. Young Miss said that the last dose of the poison has been administered to old man Lee and he won have much time to live anymore, so our plan to get rid of that idiot after taking the properties from her will be a smooth sailing, ” The lady replied.

”Thats good, and his properties, did he give a share to young Miss Christine? ”

”He willed it all to Jeslyn, stating she can only get them after she got married. ”

”Why do they all want her to get married before getting the inheritance? Im so tired of hearing that! That stupid rule is the reason Im having issues with the love of my life right now and also, why is that idiot so lucky? She got all her mothers inheritance and now, her grandfathers. What about Christine? Is she not their daughter too? How do they expect Jeslyn to manage the empire of the richest man and woman in Rose city? Is that old man senile? ”

”As if you don know how careless and simple Jeslyn wants to live her life. She thinks shes a princess, so I bet they were scared that shell be cheated out of her properties if she didn have a husband to support her…ironic! ”

”Ironic indeed. I wonder what her grandfathers face would look like when he finds out Im one of those enemies he had been trying to tell Jeslyn about. Hahaha… ”

The phone slid off Jeslyns hold after watching that video. Her world shook and everything in it tumbled. She stood up and tried taking a step to the door but she fell against the coffee table. Her head felt heavy and her eyes turned blurry.

”No, Ray cannot do this to me. They are lying about everything, it must be a prank. Grandfather, my grandfather. ”

She murmured to herself even though she was suffering. She wanted to get up to go check up on her grandfather but she couldn stand properly as the world was spinning under her legs and her eyes were also starting to dim.

Just when she was thinking of calling her assistant or grandfather, the door clicked open and someone walked in. It was a lady, but she couldn see her clearly. She was wearing a black off shoulder dress.

The lady stood In front of her. Jeslyn could only see her mouth moving, but heard no sound. She struggled to stand on her feet with the support of the bed and tried to read the ladys lips but her unfocused blurry eyes were bastards.

Her sight started to go dimmer and dimmer, solidifying her belief that she was drugged.
