Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Yellow looked at her with pity in her eyes. If only Jeslyn knows that getting a divorce would make her already complicated life even more problematic.

Yellow thought of the brighter side of everything. It was good that the man she married was Alpha Chaos and not the Yu guy, or the Xu guy.

If she had married the enemy, what would they have done? It seems Pink has a reason for not wanting to tell her why she loved Jeslyn so much. Because the minute Pink saw news of Jelsyn getting in trouble, she immediately ordered for Jeslyn to be sent to prison to be with her.

Yes, to Jelsyn, the person who sent her to prison was her hidden enemy... the young Miss. But the truth is, almost everything was Pink’s doing.

Pink made the public lawyer given to Jeslyn behave like a c*nt in court. She made Emma busy and threatened Ava’s manager to not allow Ava to appear in court, preventing them from attending the testimony.

Pink also made the person in charge of the prison send Jeslyn to Pink’s cell even though Jeslyn was not supposed to be in their prison cell in the first place.

Sometimes, Pink purposely allows the inmates to bully Jeslyn just to make her shed her weak persona. However, all the prisoners who dared to raise their hands on Jeslyn, they are already below 6ft.

As for the Chen family, well, Pink didn’t do much to them. She only did a little something to put them in a stagnant position. They can’t grow beyond how they are.

"...Yellow!"

Yellow was pulled out of her reverie at Jeslyn’s scream. "What is it?" She asked.

"You were spacing out and aren’t answering my inquiries," Jeslyn said with a sad pout.

"Sorry about that. What were you saying?"

"I... I can’t remember," Jeslyn didn’t want to say because she was angry that she got ignored.

Yellow sighed and shook her head, "petty," she smiled. "Oh, you talked about a contract. What were the terms?"

Jeslyn shrank until she became small inside her blanket.

Seeing this, Yellow couldn’t hold back her amazement and let out a peal of boisterous laughter.

"Little bunny, you didn’t read the contract before you signed it," she said without a doubt.

Jeslyn nodded in slow motion.

"Hahahaha... What else should I have expected? So, what have you been doing since you don’t know what was expected of you?"

"Making trouble for that little villain... talking of that child, where is he?" Jeslyn could remember that she felt a small hand on her back before she lost her senses.

Her heart jumped when she saw Yellow giving her a pitiful look.

"W– What? What happened to him? Where is Valen?" Jeslyn started to feel anxious as she asked the questions without stopping to take a breath.

"Calm down, the little master is fine, but I don’t think your days in this house will be as quiet as it has been."

"What do you mean?" Although she was told to calm down, Jeslyn couldn’t find herself calming down.

"Little master dislocated his wrist. He wouldn’t say what happened, but Pink suspects it has something to do with you because for the past five days, he has been coming here to give you a slap on your cheek... hahaha."

"F–five days?!..." while her eyes widened in shock, Jelsyn’s hands hurriedly touched her cheeks and yelled, "you little demon!... But wait, you said his wrist was dislocated?" She frowned.

Jeslyn put aside the fact that she has been unconscious for five days and immediately settled with Valen’s situation.

"Yes. It’s been five days already, so he’s getting better, as for you, doctor Matt said you can’t leave your room until you start your treatment, because if you get another trigger by accident..."

Yellow paused and hesitated. Pain flickered through her cold eyes for a brief moment that didn’t escape Jeslyn’s eyes.

"What will happen to me?" Jeslyn asked, a little alarmed.

Seeing this, Yellow decided to not talk about it anymore and changed the topic.

"You should find a way to get those contracts you signed and read through them. Once your husband sends them to Spid, even if the world ends, he won’t change his statement. However, you still have a chance to make him change the statements that aren’t to your advantage."

Yellow advised before she got up and hurried out in large strides to prevent Jeslyn from asking her another sensitive question.

"Hey, older sister..."

Bang!

The sound of the door getting slammed shut Jeslyn up.

She took a deep breath and shut her eyes to remember what the last doctor told her grandfather after her last attack.

"Chairman Lee, your granddaughter’s illness is not known, you have to prevent her from getting triggered, or else she won’t live past five years."

Jeslyn opened her eyes and brushed back her silky smooth and long hair.

She had always known about her illness and had embraced it. However, if she doesn’t pay those people back, her soul will find no peace which was why her conscience was tormenting her.

Jeslyn partly blames herself for her family’s downfall. She feels that if she hadn’t let Ray into her life, things might have been different.

She also feels that if she hadn’t aggravated her grandfather, he wouldn’t have been so upset and his death wouldn’t have come so soon.

Jeslyn wiped the tear that found its way to her cheek before she got off the bed to go check on Valen.

Inside Maverick’s study room...

Matt and Maverick were seen standing in the dimmed room.

Maverick had his back to Matt who seemed to be saying something.

"Her illness is a result of virus ingestion. The chemical has the properties of the Xu family’s ATOM."

Maverick turned around to look at Matt, "ATOM?"

Matt nodded, "yes."

Maverick knitted his brows in deep thought.

"Mav, how did your wife get to know about ATOM and the Xu family? Only the Xu family has such drugs in the whole world, so how did she get in contact with it?"

"How long has the virus been in her body?" Maverick asked.
