Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

309 Assistant Miles‘ regret

Assistant Miles stared at Christine who had a villainous smile on her face with a thought in mind. before she asked; “Christine, is this plan necessary?” 1

Christine turned to look at her disdainfully before answering; “Are you intending to chicken out now?”

Assistant Miles sat down and shook her head; “No, that’s not the case. I’m only thinking, what if it fails. and the plan backfires?”

The smile on Christine’s lips instantly vanished and her pretty face turned unsightly.” Whose fault is it that we have to resort to this? If you hadn’t been stupid and done things without mistakes, would I have done this?!!” Christine yelled.

Assistant Miles took a deep breath. She hates it when this mannerless girl yells at her. Jeslyn had never raised her voice at her when Jeslyn was still her artist, but ever since Christine became her artist; she started treating her like some beggar.

Assistant Miles never stopped regretting what she did to Jeslyn. Not for anything else but for the fact that if she was still with Jeslyn right now, she would have been enjoying almost the same privilege as Jeslyn instead of the tiny influence she has now.

Wait, what influence? When she was still in Rose City, her influence as Jeslyn’s manager was wide. Who didn’t want to be affiliated with the eldest Miss of the Lee family?

So because of that, a lot of people respected her but here in Country M, Christine doesn’t even have much say both in the company and at home.

Older artists bully Christine for using underhanded means to enter the company, while those who dug into Christine’s background never stopped reminding the girl that she was just an adopted child who rubbed the true Miss off her inheritance.

Even though it was just speculation from those people, Assistant Miles knew it was the truth.

Lost in thought, Assistant Miles didn’t notice the way Christine was staring at her like dead meat. She too was cooking some interesting schemes for Assistant Miles.

Christine had noticed that for a long time now, Assistant Miles seemed to be lost most of the time. To the observant Christine, she believes that Assistant Miles is planning to betray her.
