Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 343

343 [Bonus chapter] The Living ancestors‘ judgment 

One of the Living ancestors stopped counting his prayer beads and looked from the speechless Emilee to the smiling Damien before parting his old lips. 1 

“A member of the family who wished evil for the clan is to be executed. However, a stranger who wishes good for the family is to be made the Clan’s head, only when no one from the family can bear the burden. 

“A stranger must be observed, tried, and made to go through the clan’s teachings before they are made to lead the family. 

“A stranger must not be arrogant in front of their previous masters. 

“A stranger must be respectful to the members of the clan and not use the clan for their own selfish agendas 

“A leader must not lie about what would benefit the clan.” 

After one of the ancestors quoted the rules in the family’s book, another Living ancestor passed his Judgment. 

“Emilee is devoid of kindness to her own family; she caused the downfall of her family and robbed a sister of what she rightfully owned. 

“Emilee also sold her younger sister to a man just to gain more power to fight against the Yu clan when they strike. 

“Emilee poisoned the son of the Yu clan, aiming to kill him so she can become the head. 

“Emilee lied about the Rainborite Ore because she wanted a portion for herself and to do that, she intended to use the family as a weapon.” 

The second Living ancestor’s work was to break down schemes and complicated matters. With his dying sharp eyes, it feels like he was looking into one’s soul. 

Emilee’s legs gave way when all her schemes were laid bare. Although Damien had been indirectly saying the same thing, she could have done something to turn the tables but now that the old men have gotten involved, what else can she do? 

The last one, who passes judgment, finally opened his mouth to speak. 

“Emilee is deserving of death but will not be given a death sentence. Our Yu children were fighting amongst themselves and neglected the family, causing an outsider to dare to become the head. 

“The children of the Yu family have turned the clan into a laughing stock and for that deserve to be punished. 

“Emilee is hereby banished from the Yu family. No one from the Yu clan must touch her for Five years. After that, whoever amongst the Yu sons and daughters spots her anywhere close to the Yu properties can kill her and bring her head. ↑ 

As for those who supported Emilee in her reign, though they were aware that she tried to kill the Yu son, will have their properties and wealth confiscated and left to reflect on themselves for two 

decades with their families. 

Damien is hereby certified as the official head of the Yu Clan. All his sins in the past are forgiven. Henceforth, Son, you should abandon evil and practice good deeds for the future of your bright.” 

Everyone bowed to the three old men before bowing to Damien. 

Damien bowed to the three old men who gave their blessing and left.

For the first time in Damien’s life, he felt the true joy of being a leader. Before now, Damien stole the role from the rightful owner, which was why most people from the family didn’t respect him but only feared his ruthlessness. 

Now that he had been blessed and chosen by the ancestors, who would dare to not give him the respect he deserves? 

Emilee sat there speechlessly. She preferred to be killed than sent out without a shield but as it seems now, nobody will kill her until she disobeys. 

Since that was so, she would have to take Jeslyn along with her. 

Those were the thoughts that were running through her mind as she was being dragged out of the Yu estate with those Elders who were also punished. 

Emilee thought that things would go as planned. She underestimated Damien’s wickedness. Since he can’t kill her, others can. At least, the old men didn’t say one can’t use others to kill her, right? 

Damien sent the news to Maverick before broadcasting it in the media. 1 

Those that Emilee offended but couldn’t touch her because of the protection from the Yu family all poured out in search of Emilee. 

Emilee knew that her life was in danger, so she started wearing a disguise as she set out to look for ways to get Jeslyn. 1 

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Emilee, someone more bitter than her was out to get her too. 3
