Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

275 A mother’s plans for her daughter

“I watched Jeslyn’s show and saw how affectionate she was with my nephew, her son. It made me realize that I never got such love and affection from you for the longest I can remember… She’s just an inexperienced young mother, yet knows how to care for her child’s mental health. 1 Mom, Jeslyn just reunited with Valen, but she’s able to create a large space for herself in his heart. But in your case, none of your children feels the need to want to have you as their mother. Tell me Mom, why did you give birth to us? Is it only to help you rise in ranks?! And to show off to the world that you were once the richest woman?!!!…

“Paah!” Madam Caroline slapped Piper’s cheeks really hard. Nothing Piper said pained her more than reminding her that she was no longer the richest woman after Maverick took all of her money and gave it to that cursed girl.

“How dare you question my parenting, you ungrateful bastard!! I raised you alone when your worthless father abandoned you! I-”

“You can keep lying to yourself, Mom!! Push me away too, just like you pushed my brothers away! You’ll die lonely!!!” Piper turned and ran out of the house after her outburst.

Madam Caroline froze for a long time. Never in her wildest imagination did she think that Piper would ever insult her like this.

The narcissistic woman wasn’t going to take it lightly. Whether Piper likes it or not, she must fulfill her part as a dutiful daughter. For all she went through at the hands of the Xu family, Piper will have to compensate her by going out with Feng Long and helping her get those people’s wealth. 1

All the money that Maverick took from her, she’s reclaiming them by taking other people’s money and the lady won’t stop until she gets back to being the richest woman in the world.

With that in mind, she fished for her phone in her handbag and made two calls.

“My daughter is leaving the house, send her to Feng Long’s house.” After that, she called Feng Long. “Son, your fiance seems to be at it again. My men will send her to you… seal the bond between you two so she doesn’t leave you for that riffraff again.”
