Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 344

344 Flirtatious Rex 

“Do you want to tell me that you haven’t been seeing how Jeslyn is being treated by the higher–ups? “Sister Toria, you’re the biggest female artist in Fearless Entertainment and have all the rights to have Manager Kate as your manager, but what did the company do? They gave her to the newbie Jeslyn “Wrong.” Toria interrupted. “Manager Kate was sent to take care of Jeslyn by Senior Celestine. Whereas Manager Kate was Senior Celestine’s manager. She was broken when Senior left the industry, so Jeslyn is Celestine’s compensation to Manager Kate. Don’t tell me you don’t know that.” That is what you were told. An insider told me otherwise. Jeslyn had a mediocre talent before she made Senior Celestine her Teacher. With the help of Manager Kate, she perfected her singing and now, she’s better than us all. If I was given the same opportunity, I’ll do better than Jeslyn!” 

The other friend cut in, looking confused. “Phoebe, is this jealousy or hatred for Jeslyn? Wait, if I may ask, what did she do to warrant this amount of hatred from you? I thought we were after her before because of Sister Toria?” 

Yes, at first, I was humiliated because I was trying to put Jeslyn in her place because of Sister Toria but now, not anymore. Jeslyn offended me and she must pay!” With that said, she left Toria’s apartment. 

After Phoebe left, the other friend’s brows furrowed even more as she tried to remember what Jeslyn 

had done to warrant such hatred and bloodthirst. 

“Forget it, you can’t find anything no matter how hard you try,” Toria said and picked up a glass of juice that was on the table while shifting her gaze to the TV. 

The other lady tilted her head and said: “I feel like Phoebe has changed.” 

After a long time, she didn’t hear a response, so she looked at Toria and saw that her eyes were glued to the volumeless TV. 

The lady shifted her gaze to see what was being shown that got her friend stifled. 

On the TV was Rex holding Celestine who looked uncomfortable. 

“Ah, it’s Young Master Rex,” the lady smiled teasingly. “Are you jealous now? You should-” 

“Stop talking.” Toria shushed her and increased the volume. 

It was an interview in Country X… 

Standing in front of cameras and mics being shoved in their faces, Celestine was lost, trying to pull herself away from the shameless Rex but no matter what she did, she couldn’t. 

When the movement from her was starting to annoy Rex, he yanked her to his chest and stole a kiss from her before answering the question that was asked earlier. 

“She’s my fiance.” Rex smiled at the camera. 

Celestine widened her eyes in horror. How dare this bastard do this after what he did to the oldest Princess! As Celestine remembered the abominable act this fool had done, she felt a migraine on the 

T 

side of her head. Good for them both, they won’t be allowed to leave now. 

A few days back… 

Celestine was invited to perform for the royals of Country X because it was their king’s birthday. While on stage, she was shocked to see Rex among the royals. Not just that, he was sitting close to the oldest princess and they looked really close! 

Although Celestine looked fine as she sang, she was raving mad. 

After the performance, Celestine thought that Rex would come to look for her in her hotel room but he didn’t come. Believing it was because of their little fight, she thought of going to see him the next morning, but she got an invitation to have dinner with the royals. 

That evening, on getting to the extremely long dining room that was decorated with pure gold and silver, her pupils dilated when she saw the womanizer with the same oldest Princess. 

Throughout the ‘boring‘ meal, the idiot didn’t look at Celestine once. Instead, he was having a flirtatious conversation with the princess which was sending blood rushing to the princess‘ face, or making her smile shyly like a teenager. 

If rolling of eyes was enough to make eyeballs fall, Celestine’s eyeballs would have fallen out from how many times she rolled her eyes at the two. 

After dinner, they were invited again to a ballroom with hundreds of high–profiled figures. 

Even people from the Yu, Xu, and Lu first branch attended. But Maverick and his friends would never be seen in places like this. 

Since Rex was occupied with the oldest princess, Celestine decided to mind her business and sit quietly on her own, even though she was angry. 

While sitting there and sipping her drink, a few people came to strike up a conversation but she was not in the mood to entertain anyone, so she sent them away. 

However, Rex was having the best time of his life on the dance floor. As Celestine watched his hand on that stupid Princess‘ waist, the urge to stab that hand flashed through her mind but held herself 

back.
