Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 250

250 Nonchalantly seeking forgiveness 

“Why should you be here? Are you forgetting who you are and what you’ve done?” Rex fired back. “Actually, I lost my memory. Please remind me.” Damien challenged with a cunning smile. He really wants to know all his crimes because he also has a belly full of things to say to these brothers. They also ruined his life. 

“You, you…” Rex was tongue–tied. Damien’s shamelessness beat him to speechlessness. How would he reveal that Damien was the one behind Jeslyn’s sorrow? Won’t the house fall apart? Is that what Damien was after? To see his brother’s family fall apart? 

On second thought, isn’t that why he sent Vera in the first place?! Rex’s eyes shone with a glint as he glared at Damien. “You want my brother’s family to fall apart?!” 

Damien nodded. “In the past, I desperately wanted it, which was why I sent Vera into his life.” 

“Huh?” Jeslyn’s ears piqued. “You did what?” Vera was someone she can never forget. 

“Oh, the goddess Jeslyn. I think you’re the only one I owe an apology but too bad I don’t know how to apologize but I’ll be glad if you’ll forgive me. I can compensate you.” Damien sounded both serious and unserious. 

“What are you talking about?” Jeslyn frowned. 

He sat upright and said; “you know, I had issues with this husband of yours and you accidentally got involved. Well, I didn’t call it an accident in the past, which was why I was mad at you and got you entangled in my schemes to ruin your husband…” Damien continued and told Jeslyn everything he did to her and how he also snatched her baby. 

Jeslyn was flabbergasted. She couldn’t wrap her head around any of what Damien said. For a long time, the air in the sitting room was stagnant. Valen stared at Damien in speechlessness. His little mind at the moment was wondering how someone could be this evil! 

He thought that way because it had something to do with being separated from his beloved Jeslyn. 

Maverick’s eyes didn’t leave his wife’s shocked face. He hoped she wouldn’t get him involved in her anger….Well, she would because he will be doing something that might anger her soon. He sighed. 

After a long time, Jeslyn finally spoke. “Wh- what you just said…” She looked at her lovely son, then shifted her gaze back to Damien. “…was your doing?” 

Damien nodded. “That’s not all. I love playing games, so I also did something to your family, your grandfather to be precise… however, I only issued the command but didn’t say what should be done.” 

“Wh- what are you talking about?!” Jeslyn bolted up from her seat with widened eyes. “What did you do to my grandfather?!!!” Her voice thundered, sending raw fear down their hearts. 

Valen flinched when he heard that voice and Maverick clenched his jaw, trying to suppress his annoyance to not kill Damien right now. How stupid can he be? Is he supposed to word it like that? 

It was clear that Damien wants to make amends. Even though he doesn’t know how to, he was making an attempt… something Maverick would never do. 

“I asked you, what did you do to my grandfather?!!” Killing intent shot out from Jeslyn as her eyes flared with animosity. 

“Oh, Chaos, it seems like I’ll die in your wife’s hands instead of 

yo-” 

“Shut the f*ck up and answer me!!” She roared. 

Rex, who was the closest to her, shivered. Her anger was going out of control but he has no intention of getting involved. This is very entertaining stuff to watch and a recording has to be done. So he hurried to his brother and sat beside him, then pulled out his phone to start recording. ‘My sister–in–law is on fire!‘ he giggled softly. 1 

“Ohoi, it’s your sister’s doing, not mine, ah. I only told her to make your life unbearable and she went ahead to make her own plans. I guess making you fall in love with that weakling and poisoning your grandfather for so long was considered unbearable.” He shrugged. 

“E. mi. lee…” Jeslyn stretched the name on her tongue and narrowed her raging eyes. “You have long beaten the drum of war and congratulations, I have accepted your challenge!” Her narrowed eyes suddenly changed and she fixed a cold stare at Damien. “I have no intention of forgiving you.” Damien sighed, “I wasn’t expecting the forgiveness to come so soon but I’m hoping you would. I can compensate you even though your husband caused it all.” 

“Whatever you have with my husband is between you two. However, getting my family and son involved was your mistake. You’ll pay for it, Damien Yu!” Jeslyn glared at Maverick who was minding his business. She grabbed Valen, and left, heading to the front door. 

“That’s fine. You can punish me but don’t kill me or take away my woman. Hehe…!!” Damien said before Jeslyn left through the door. 

That was a nervous laugh. Damien didn’t think that Jeslyn would be this difficult to handle. He thought she would be the type that would give him the cold shoulder, just like Maverick. He had no idea that she was the type to cause one, fear and anxiety.
