Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

432 The token

“First of all, Matt is not an object, but a human as stubborn as your husband. We both know he won’t come. Secondly, I can no longer be cured. Even if Matt comes, he’d give me the same diagnosis I’ve received more times than I’m willing to remember. So, Mrs. Lu, what kind of business are you proposing and how does that benefit me?”

“Woohoo! Clap, clap!” Jeslyn clapped while smiling. Then her smile slowly slipped off her face as she said, “Mrs. Hwang, You do know you owe me more than you’ve paid. It’s quite unfortunate that your man died and I can see that you’re deeply hurt by it. So can we say, you’ve paid for my Cousin’s death?”

Jeslyn didn’t wait for the woman to agree or disagree before she nodded. “Yes, we are even on that. But what my brother had gone through in your hands, you need to pay us too… And Pink’s troubles after coming here.”

Nancy looked intently at her face for a long time before she looked at her juice. “You’re blunt with your revenge. Fine, I’ll give you some men to do your bidding. That’s for going after Pink. However, I owe you nothing in how I treated my son-”

“My brother!” She corrected, then smiled. “Mrs. Hwang, you do owe me for stealing my twin brother away from me. The relationship that we could have built, you stole that away too. You caused us too much pain, and I honestly don’t think I can forgive that.” She looked seriously at the woman.

Nancy stayed silent for a while before she opened the compartment below the desk and pulled out a black gun.

I forced Brain out of the entertainment industry just to pull you two apart and kill the sibling relationship between you both because Hwang Min was starting to investigate your matter. I killed the first few people he sent after you, then wanted Brian to marry a friend’s daughter because I knew my time was short. Those people can protect him on my behalf… I know I owe you and everyone else an apology but
