Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 225

225 Death Certificate 

My mother and grandfather were the richest people in Rose City. With their wealth combined, do 

you 

think anyone, including Rose City’s law, can get in my way if I had their wealth? I could have simply settled everything with money. So I’m sure your belief is broken now. 1 

Meanwhile, if my grandfather was angry that I disgraced my ex–fiance on the altar, he wouldn’t have hugged me, spoken softly to me, and shielded me at the wedding venue, in the presence of all the guests. If you are still in doubt, do thorough research, ma’am.” She concluded. Jeslyn explained every single thing like she was schooling children because, who knows, it might be helpful to her in the future… 

A pin–drop silence overtook the hall as all the judges were in deep thought. After a long while, a male judge asked: “So, are you saying your sister framed you?” 

Jeslyn shook her head. “I can’t accuse her of any crime because I have no evidence to back it up. That is why I’m standing in front of you right now. I want to uncover the truth and seek justice for my grandfather and clear my name.” Fat teardrops started trickling down her cheeks and she slowly wiped them. 

The judges gazed at each other. Jeslyn’s voice, story, and body language were too convincing and her eyes weren’t lying either. Her appearance was that of an innocent little girl accused of stealing but knows who did it, yet cannot point out the person because that person would find their way around it and later make her suffer. So sad. 

“What do you all say we give her a chance?” 

“Yes, give her a chance.” 

“Impossible!” 

Four judges agreed but the woman judge refused. 

“Mrs. Mabel, Why?” One of the judges frowned at the woman. 

“She’s not fit to be on the screen. Even though she managed to prove her innocence, her reputation is already tarnished. Fearless Entertainment is a startup company and cannot handle too much backlash. So-” 

“We can help her clear her name and Fearless Entertainment would soar along with her. The people will feel remorse and be grateful to Fearless Entertainment for being with the bullied. Plus, having an eye candy in the company would be nice too. That would be hitting two birds with one stone. One Judge explained. 

“Fearless Entertainment can soar without her. I refuse. 

“What if we disagree with you, Mrs. Mabel?” 

“It’s either her or me!” She glared at the judges who were looking at her with disbelief. 

They couldn’t believe this woman who is the best critic and a great character in Fearless Entertainment would want the company to choose between her and a newbie. How much hate does this woman have?! 

“I’m 

sorry for causing trouble, I’ll leave. Thank you so much. I’ll just look… look for other means.” Jeslyn uttered amidst crying. 

“Jeslyn Lee stays, Mrs. Mabel, you are fired!” A loud voice boomed from the public address system of the building. Even the guards outside the company heard it. 

The staff and artists of the company couldn’t help wondering what Mrs. Mabel, one of the best higher–ups in the Company, did to get fired. 

Inside the audition room, Mrs. Mabel was as shocked as everyone outside the audition room. She couldn’t believe her ears. 

She was the backbone of this Company. Now she’s getting fired because of this low–life pretty vase? She curled up her lips, stood up, and walked to stand in front of Jeslyn. “You’ll regret this, you little who*e!” She spat out the malicious words and walked out in large strides. 

Her Assistant, the lady who brought Jeslyn’s news glared at Jeslyn before she followed her boss out. The other judges couldn’t help shaking their heads and sighing. 

Mrs. Mabel had always been like this. Her hatred towards beautiful women is something no one could place their fingers on. 

Meanwhile, Jeslyn was laughing in her mind. She’ll regret this? Wouldn’t that be if Mrs. Mabel gets the chance to reach her home and plot? Like Rex said, she wasn’t going to give new enemies enough time to hurt her. Whoever has made their malicious intentions known to her will not live to plan it out.
