Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 107

107 Causing trouble (2) 

So, in a sense, Jeslyn was right for saying Youan was playing with the clothes. “Ahm… there’s no need for that… hehehe.” Manager Tim laughed awkwardly. 

He turned to look at Youan and smiled faintly. “Miss, the thing is, our company only produces one set of these wears once in a lifetime. So, since both of you happened to like the same thing, we should split the clothes among you. How does that sound?” 

“No!” 

“No!” 

Both Jeslyn and Youan refused. The manager swallowed. It was obvious both women wanted to make his job difficult. 

He can’t possibly give one person the clothes, could he? 

“I got here first! I picked the clothes first!” Youan yelled. 

“Oh? how was I supposed to know you wanted the clothes when I didn’t meet them in your hands? I brought out my card. If that lady didn’t cause trouble, I would have long left this store.” Jeslyn retorted, albeit calmly and innocently. 

“You both calm down. I’ll bring out more clothes and see if there is anyone who would like to pick from there.” The manager chimed, preventing the argument that was about to escalate. 

Seeing them both nod their heads, the manager clapped and ordered the newest clothes to be brought out. 

While all that was going on, Ray who had been watching everything from the beginning smiled. “Interesting,” he mumbled. 2 

Soon, the clothes were brought out, they were even prettier than the ones they were fighting for. 

Jeslyn glanced at Youan. She saw her eyes light up and smirked. “I want everything.” She declared. 

“Ah?” Youan was shocked before she glared at Jeslyn. “You are deliberately doing this, you evil 

creature!” she barked. 

“Now, now, you are wrongfully accusing me again, Miss, and I’m not finding it funny. Go to another store and see if I’ll follow you.” Jeslyn frowned. 

“If-” Youan was rudely cut off by the manager. 

“Since that’s the case, I’d say we hold an auction. Whoever pays the highest gets to take the clothes.” He suggested. With that, he’ll be making extra profit. What a great business idea! 

Having no choice, both ladies agreed and the manager made an arrangement for a mini-auction for fifteen beautiful clothes. 

A small crowd gathered around, watching the scene. Some were wondering why the same lady who just caused trouble at Manager Rita’s store would come here to continue. Some of Youan’s fans were already angry at Jeslyn and were discretely reading the event.

The fan’s intention was for other fans to come together and chew Jeslyn out for troubling their goddess. Because the video was live, Youan’s fans started to cuss Jeslyn online. 

Something none of those in the store are aware of. 

After gaining their approval, Manager Tim continued: “Each of these clothes cost nothing less than $2000 each. Only three are of that price though and the others are from $2,500-$3,000. However, since we are auctioning them, the starting price would be $45, 000 for the fifteen wears.” 

The moment the manager said that Youan wanted to give up, Jeslyn hurriedly proclaimed: “$50,001” Valen snorted and Blue flattened her lips to not laugh out loud. Pink on the other hand couldn’t help but sigh. 

Youan glared at Jeslyn but couldn’t back down now. if she did they might think she was the troublemaker and also, this is no longer just an auction anymore, her reputation was at stake. “$50,100,” She said. 

“$60,000.” Jeslyn raised the bid. 

The people gasped, including Youan. How could she raise the price so much? an idea formed in her mind and she narrowed her eyes at Jeslyn. “$60,500!” 

“$70,000” 

“$100,000.” Youan blurted out. 

The store and netizens turned silent for a while before they exploded. They have been making assumptions about how rich Youan was, but now, they got to understand that the lady was super rich! 

Everyone in the store shifted their gazes from Youan to Jeslyn. The people were excited to see two Young Misses battling with money. However, to their disappointment, Jeslyn shook her head and sighed. 

“Too bad, I’m quitting. Valen child, hope you are not mad at mummy?” She caressed Valen’s cute face. 

“No, mummy,” Valen shook his head. 

“Aww, my child is so understanding.” She focused her gaze on the manager and said: “Manager, even though I love these clothes so much, it’s obvious Young Miss loves them more than I do. It’s a pity,” she sighed. 

The manager laughed boisterously. “No problem, no problem, Ma’am. You have really proven your love, hahaha… congratulations Miss Youan, you won the bid. hahahaha… Your little one will be very happy when he sees these.” 

While the manager was so excited that he couldn’t help himself but reveal it, Youan was almost puking blood. 

She just realized that Jeslyn led her on and made her lose so much money. Impossible! she wasn’t going to allow that.
