Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

205 Retribution!

“…The parties were married in Rose City on December 20, 20XX, and no child is present in the marriage, nor is the wife pregnant. 1

The Court, after listening to both parties and going through the pieces of evidence provided, finds that the cheating allegations leveled on Mr. Louis Ren by his wife, Mrs. Rhoda Ren are not proven to be facts but based on hearsay and suspicions.

The Court hereby decrees that a divorce between Mr. Louis Ren and Mrs. Rhoda Ren is not granted and the marriage relationship existing between the parties is still intact!

Mrs. Rhoda Ren is hereby fined a sum of $20,000 to be paid to her husband for defamation of character…”

He, the greatest Lawyer in Rose City, suddenly became a laughingstock. Is this karma for what he did to Jeslyn? 1

Remembering Jeslyn, Lawyers An suddenly stopped walking and looked up at the bright sky. He squinted his eyes due to the dazzling sun.

His mind traveled back to Jeslyn’s void expression when he nailed her to jail. He recalled her words of surrender. She didn’t try to fight, nor did she curse anyone. She accepted her fate with dignity. That was the girl he watched grow up. That was the same Young Miss who used to serve him by herself when he goes to see her grandfather and she would set aside a takeaway for his family.

Why did he forget all that? When she needed him the most, he abandoned her. Instead of being her protector, he became her nemesis.
