Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 232

232 Taking a bite from other’s fortune 

“I’ll get back to you, don’t be in a hurry.” She snapped at the woman before she said to Spid. “These people are claiming to be cops. I believe they are not. She smiled when she saw Madam Lu’s face turn 

white. 1 

“What do you mean by this, Jeslyn?” She asked. 

“Why? Are they your people? They can’t be, because they were cops brought over by the dead. teacher… Oops, the teacher is your errand girl, hehe” she chuckled. 

“Interesting. And I’m guessing you brought them here so they can kill my client.” Spid said and his people wrote that down. 

“Wh- what are you saying?!” Madam La panicked. 

“Nothing, other than the fact that you’ll be charged with attempted murder or possibly murder of the highest degree…who knows?” He threatened her again and everyone knows he’s capable of making her shoulder a crime she did not commit. 

“Wh-” Madam Lu suddenly thought of something and took a deep breath. “What do you want?” 

Just when Spid was about to speak, Jeslyn beat him to it. 

“Ah, I think that question is for me.” She smiled and helped herself to her seat. “You see, you’ve caused me too much trouble today. I told you to pay half a billion for the settlement earlier but now, that half a billion shall be for my stress. Half a billion for making me touch a gun and staining my innocence and reputation. Then I billion for the trouble your son caused my baby and 1 billion to let your cops–henchmen go. Total should be 3 billion… dollars.” 1 

“What?!” 

“You don’t have 3 billion? Then ask for 5 billion from your husband, send me 3.5 billion, and keep 1.5. That extra half a billion you are giving me will be for my wonderful idea. If you also want me to teach. you how to coax your husband so he’d release the money, you’ll be adding another payment of half a billion. And that’s because you are a Lu, else I would have asked for more!” She wasn’t even smiling. Her dead serious face couldn’t let one penetrate to know if she was joking or not, 2 

“Are you serious right now?” 2 

“More serious than your bank account.” She responded. Wasn’t Madam Lu boasting of the Lu family’s money and power earlier, she needs to take a bite from it too. After all, they are distant relatives. Hehe… 

Madam Lu took a deep breath. “My bank shall send it.” She only wanted to leave here. Whether she sends it or not depends on her. 

“Let me tell you a secret.” Jeslyn got up and walked towards her. She leaned closer to her ear and said: “My mother–in–law annoyed me a while ago and guess what? She compensated me with every single dime in her account…. Don’t get it wrong, she didn’t give it to me, my husband took it from her… unwillingly,” She beamed. 

Madam Lu’s eyes widened in horror. Of course, she knew what that meant. Jeslyn was telling her that 

if she failed to fulfill her part of the deal, she could get Maverick to hack her account and take every dime she has. “Send me your bank details.” 

“That’s more like it. My son can get proper treatment on his fist. Sister–in–law, how is your son’s skin so soft? My son said he didn’t enjoy punching his body at all, because his flesh was like …slime? I think that was what he said. And that prompted him to punch your son in the face instead. Poor child,” Jeslyn sighed sorrowfully. 5 

“But don’t worry, I already spoke to Valen and he won’t beat your son’s face anymore in the future. He would whip his ass instead.” 1 

“Hahahahaha…” Spid couldn’t hold back his laughter even when he tried to. 1 

“Puff!” Madam Lu suddenly puked blood. 

“Ah, sister–in–law, are you alright? Do you want to join your son in bed? Oh, please send my money before you do. I don’t know when you’ll wake up if you fall into a coma by mistake.” Jeslyn said with feigned worry. 

“Just send your details!” Madam Lu screamed in anger. The humiliation had sunk into her bones and she could no longer take it anymore.
