Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 205

205 Retribution! 

“…The parties were married in Rose City on December 20, 20XX, and no child is present in the marriage, nor is the wife pregnant. 1 

The Court, after listening to both parties and going through the pieces of evidence provided, finds that the cheating allegations leveled on Mr. Louis Ren by his wife, Mrs. Rhoda Ren are not proven to be facts but based on hearsay and suspicions. 

The Court hereby decrees that a divorce between Mr. Louis Ren and Mrs. Rhoda Ren is not granted and the marriage relationship existing between the parties is still intact! 

Mrs. Rhoda Ren is hereby fined a sum of $20,000 to be paid to her husband for defamation of character…” 

Even after Lawyer An left the court, he wasn’t in his right mind. He was so shattered that he could hear the pieces of his ego and pride falling after him. 

As he walked, he could see from the corner of his eyes, people he used to be greater than, laughing and mocking him. 

He, the greatest Lawyer in Rose City, suddenly became a laughingstock. Is this karma for what he did to Jeslyn? 1 

Remembering Jeslyn, Lawyers An suddenly stopped walking and looked up at the bright sky. He squinted his eyes due to the dazzling sun. 

His mind traveled back to Jeslyn’s void expression when he nailed her to jail. He recalled her words of surrender. She didn’t try to fight, nor did she curse anyone. She accepted her fate with dignity. That was the girl he watched grow up. That was the same Young Miss who used to serve him by herself when he goes to see her grandfather and she would set aside a takeaway for his family. 

Why did he forget all that? When she needed him the most, he abandoned her. Instead of being her protector, he became her nemesis. 

“Hahahaha… Chairman Lee, karma indeed is a b!tc-” 

“Beeeeeeeep!!!!!” 

Hearing the loud beeping of a car’s horn that probably came too late, Lawyer An turned his head to his left and saw the white car from his peripheral vision. He wasn’t able to fully turn before his heart flew out and he felt himself flying in the air. 

The whistling sound of the wind prevented him from hearing anything else. His eyes were focused on the sky. He couldn’t squint his eyes anymore. 

Time seemed to have stopped for a moment before the law of gravity took control and he was 

mercilessly thrown on top of another car. 

Due to the speed of the car, Lawyer An rolled off and fell like a sack of grain on the road.

Meanwhile, the white car didn’t stop after hitting Lawyer An in front of the Court. Youan was so frightened that her mind and hands on the steering were unstable. Her heart was beating so loudly in her chest that she was scared it would jump out. 1 

She could hear the siren of police cars chasing her. She burst into tears as she stepped on the accelerator, breaking the safe speed for the residential road she was taking. 

Tears clouded her vision and she could no longer see ahead of her. However, she continued to step on the accelerator with the thought of cutting into the highway in front of her. 

She successfully got to the highway. However, instead of looking to see if there was any before she cuts in. Youan couldn’t wait because the Police vehicles were catching up.

She drove into the road and unfortunately for her, a trailer was coming from her side at full speed. 

“BANG!” 

“SCREEEEEECH!!” 

The accident was so horrible that if Youan had survived, it would have been in the headlines for at 

least a month. 

Jeslyn was browsing through the internet when she accidentally saw the news from Rose City. She clicked on it and after seeing it was the death of two people she detested, she scrolled through. 

Did she feel sad? No. Did she think about it for a moment? Absolutely not. It was like she never knew those people. 

A moment later, Jeslyn paused and frowned. “I have changed.” She murmured to herself. 

How could two people she used to know die so horribly, yet she felt nothing? She placed her palm on her chest. “It’s still beating, so I still have a heart…” She affirmed.
