Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 40

40 Trouble rearing it’s head

“Good morning, ma’am,” two servant girls cleaning the stair railing greeted Jeslyn with forced voices.

It was obvious they didn’t like her and the malds weren’t making an attempt to hide it.

“Good morning,” Jeslyn responded while walking down the stairs.

She chooses to ignore them, after all, it has nothing to do with her. It’s their right to hate or like her.

A few steps ahead, Jeslyn heard the maids behind her talking in hushed voices.

What could they be talking about if not gossip about her? And Jeslyn wasn’t a fan of such, so she turned around, and with a cold voice, she spoke.

“You two, go get your payment and leave.”

The girls looked at her like she was a joke and ignored her to continue working.

Seeing this, Jeslyn chuckled for a while before she started taking small steps towards them while saying:
