Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 102

102 Fighting for Jeslyn 

Jeslyn’s face suddenly turned wicked and she enunciated: “You are… not good enough.” 

She stood up and turned to look at her stepmother who was still stunned for whatever reason. “My son…” she paused to make sure her stepmother was digesting her words. “Does not need ‘playmates. Even though he needed one, your u gly and di sgusting daughter doesn’t stand a chance” With that, she snorted and gave the mother and child a nasty look. 

“How dare you!” Madam Chen couldn’t take the disrespect anymore. “Do you not know who I am? You should ask your worthless husband or whatever waste gave birth to you, who the Chen family is! You dared to call my daughter names just because I wanted to do you a favor, you sh ame-” 

“I used to think this world could be manageable until I met you. A person like you should be stripped na ked and showcased around the city, but because it would be a humiliation to respectable women, it would be better if you partially live in this world. You will curse this day for the rest of your soon-to-be miserable life… that I assure you” Jeslyn made a strong vow. 

“Ding!” 

The elevator door opened and Jeslyn stepped out together with Valen. 

“Hey! Stop right there! Security, stop that wench!!” Madam Chen grew mad. She didn’t care about the threat because she didn’t believe Jeslyn could do anything to her. She came here with her guards but had them take another elevator because she ha tes seeing them around her. “They make things inconvenient for me.” She says. 

Pink turned and stood in front of Madam Chen, blocking her from going after Jeslyn. She was exuding a dangerous aura that little Chi Chi burst into a loud wail due to fear. 

“Don’t court death right now, save your sh itty life for your future nightmares.” Pink threatened before she walked away. 

The security men that were running over were sent back by Blue who showed them an ID card. 

Madam Chen was flabbergasted. She didn’t understand what just happened. She was threatened! She, a woman whom everybody in the Country wanted to befriend, a woman who was getting so much respect and recognition ever since she ‘adopted’ Christine, was disrespected and the security men did nothing! 

“Ok, let’s see who gets to shed blood after I’m done with you.” She got down from the elevator with her daughter who was still wailing and searching everywhere with eyes, looking for her ‘prince charming. 

Jeslyn took Valen to the children’s clothing store. Before entering the store, she told Blue: “Watch that woman, do not let her leave your sight.” 

“Yes, ma’am,” blue didn’t bother to think otherwise before accepting her mission to watch the woman who just walked into the same store as Jeslyn. 

Madam Chen wasn’t meant to shop there but just to cause trouble for Jeslyn, she called her friend, the Manager of the store when she saw Jeslyn entering there. 

“Madam Chen, welcome to our store. We got new goods that your daughter might love.” A 

middle-aged woman walked to Madam Chen and they both hugged each other before she made her and Chi Chi sit on one of the seats, especially for their VIP customers. 

The manager then turned to give Jeslyn a once-over look before she smiled at her. “Miss, how may we be of service to you?” 

“I’m here to get my son some affordable casual wear,” Jeslyn replied, still standing. She wasn’t offered a seat, so she didn’t bother to sit. 

Hearing the word ‘casual’, Manager’s smile stiffened but remembering they have expensive casual 

wear for kids, she relaxed a little and asked further: “Miss, what type are you looking for? I can ask the salesperson to take you to the section for the most expensive casuals, imported from Country M,” she forced a smile. 

“Oh no, clothes from Country M are unnecessarily expensive. I don’t need to waste too much money on that. Direct me to the section with around $50 to $100 wea-” 

“Hahahahaha…” Madam Chen laughed so hard that she held her stomach. “Friend, when did your store start to sell such low-quality goods?” 

By now, Manager’s face had turned unsightly. The fake smile could no longer be found anywhere near her face. Without care for protocol, she berated Jeslyn. 

“Miss, please, if you can’t afford what we sell here, you shouldn’t come here to waste my time and stop my business from moving forward. Please take your fake self to another store, this store doesn’t sell cheap things. Our goods are being sent from Country M which makes them very expensive. If you need to buy anything from this store, you better hold nothing less than $500!” 

Jeslyn’s lips fell apart. She couldn’t believe her ears. She stylishly cleaned her ear to ready herself to hear more. “What did you just say? Please, come again.” 

“Are you deaf or something? Leave!” Madam Chen yelled in Manager’s place. 

Her daughter was still looking at Valen and it was starting to embarrass her. Instead of taking it out on her daughter, she made Jeslyn her anger-disposer. 

“When would a sha meless woman like you learn to mind her manners? Now I see where your di sgrace of a child learned hers from. Others wouldn’t be different either.” Jeslyn sneered. She was referring to Christine and Emilee. 

“You dare!” Madam Chen stood up from her seat. Her loud voice pulled a large crowd to gather at the place, making the Manager a little annoyed but because Madam Chen was one of their biggest customers and friend, plus she has a share in the company, the Manager couldn’t chastise her. 

“You know this lady?” The Manager asked her.
