Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 201

201 Gracious and generous Mother–in–law 

“More than enough to buy your worthless life.” Jeslyn’s voice sounded and she smiled. “Christine…” she shook her head. “That identity was given to you by my mother, so you have to change it. All your certificates, the knowledge you have, and everything you own, including your glowing skin, were given by my mother, so you are going to return everything when I finally have your time. However, fo now…” she patted Christine’s face. “I’m lending them to you. When I come for them, it will seem like a dream.” She smiled, washed her hands, cleaned her wet hands on Christine’s expensive white gown, turned around, and walked out. Leaving Christine in a daze. 1 

Christine lost her breath for a long time. She stood there frozen like a chicken. Soon, she gasped from holding her breath for too long. That was scary! Jeslyn gave her the feeling of a grim reaper and the way she said those threats, it didn’t seem like she was joking at all. Christine felt a chill run down her spine. Even her arms were producing goosebumps. 

“Jeslyn is different now.” She mumbled to herself. She has to talk to her sister about this as soon as possible! 

The next day, Jeslyn bought flowers and went to the hospital to visit her generous mother–in–law. 

The hospital was very large and beautiful. They said it was one of the Xu family’s establishments, making Jeslyn wonder whether the three families were competing to own the same thing. 

Maverick has a hospital, the Yu family has a hospital, and also the Xu family. 

Jeslyn entered the hospital with some guards. One of the guards walked to the counter and asked for the ward Madam Caroline was in. Getting his answer, he returned and told Jeslyn. 

Jeslyn took the elevator and got to the ward in no time. 

Of course, it was a VIP room on the topmost floor. There were guards stationed outside the door. However, when Madam Caroline’s guards saw that the people coming were Maverick’s guards and a woman they didn’t know, one of them immediately went in to inform Madam Caroline. 

Soon, he came back out and allowed them in. 

The room didn’t disappoint the exterior of the hospital. It was a sight to behold. Jeslyn placed the flowers inside a flower vase sitting close to the window before she went over to sit gracefully on a sofa with her legs crossed. 

She slowly removed her mask and beamed at the woman staring at her. 

“You… What are you doing here?” Madam Caroline narrowed her eyes. 

“Gracious mother–in–law, this daughter–in–law is here to thank you for your generosity.” 

“What do you mean?” She knitted her brows. 

“Oh, you’ve done a lot of good deeds that you don’t know which one I’m thanking you for.” Jeslyn nodded. “It’s understandable.” She said sarcastically. 

“Young Lady, if you won’t state your reason for coming here, you better get out.” She said calmly in a 

dignified manner. 

Jeslyn chuckled, “mother–in–law, don’t be too irritated because I haven’t started yet.” She uncrossed her legs and leaned forward. “Mother–in–law transferred $5 billion into my account for 

compensation. However-” 

“What?!” Madam Caroline bolted up from bed with eyes widened. “Wh- what are you talking about?!” 

“Aww, please stoooop, hehe.” She waved her palm cutely while chuckling. She was no different from a teenager who was being teased by her crush. “You don’t have to be shy. I deserve it. Also, no one is here to think you are kind–hearted, so, it’s fine, fine.” Jeslyn said happily. 

“What is the meaning of this? Cut to the chase!” Her aura flared. Madam Caroline was indeed a woman that shouldn’t be trifled with. Good thing Jeslyn came here with guards, else, she would have been killed here. 

Jeslyn stopped playing around and became serious. “Because you paid me a compensation fee doesn’t mean I have forgiven you for what you did to Valen and me. Even though you hate me, Valen is still your grandson, yet you almost killed him.” She paused to think. “By the way, why would you hate me to begin with? We haven’t met before, I don’t even know you, so why would you be after my life?” “What did he tell you?” 

“You want me to refresh your mind? Come on, it just happened yesterday. Thanks to you and Vera, Valen almost died and I was almost turned into a roasted chicken!” 

“Is that all he told you? Hahahaha…then it means my son still has goodness for me at heart. He still sees me as his mother. So let me tell you this. Young Lady, that’s not the only things I have done to you, but let’s leave that for next time. I don’t like you for my son, nor my grandson’s stepmother. You are not fit to be Renren’s wife. Send the money he transferred to you back into my account and divorce him quietly. I’m giving you this warning because there won’t be a next time.” 

Jeslyn sighed. Like the woman said, she set aside the fact that she said this wasn’t the first time she made an attempt on her life. “Madam Caroline, to be a mother or to lay claim to a child, you have to at least fulfill the duties of a mother. Isn’t it? We agree that you birthed my husband and breastfed him for six months or three months, whatever it was. But what else did you do after that? 

A mother is supposed to breastfeed their children for at least 1 year and 6 months to 2 years or more. However, you pride yourself on 6 months of breastfeeding. From the day your children were born, you abandoned them to nannies. You neglected your children at such a tender age without caring if they fell sick or not. You cared not if they bathed, slept well, cried too much, or not. And you still have the guts to call yourself a mother? 

Madam Caroline, should I remind you what you did to poor Rex? I’m sure you don’t want to hear that, so let’s not dive in because I’m totally disgusted on your behalf and you should be ashamed of yourself 

“How dare you!!” Madam Caroline bellowed. Immediately, Jeslyn followed up. 

“No, how dare you!!” Jeslyn got up and walked towards her on the bed. “Madam Caroline, how dare you get involved in our lives? What gave you the effrontery to think you deserve to bask in their glory? What makes you think you are worthy to claim the role of their parent all of a sudden? You died in their hearts 22 years ago after you threw away the role of a mother to the dogs. So, don’t thin 

about coming back. You no longer have a place in their lives…” She enuciated.
