Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 376

376 Charity event (3) 

Piper chuckled in anger. “Mother! When do you intend to change? Is it until you see death?!!” Piper knows her mother so well that she immediately knew where the woman was going with this matter. 1 

This woman must have done something and was very sure of her win, which is why she is doing this right now. Even though Piper has a general knowledge of her mother’s way of doing things, she couldn’t put her fingers on what her mother had planned. 

Madam Caroline ignored Piper and continued, “If this sl*t doesn’t leave this gathering, there’ll be no charity event!” She proclaimed and pointed at Jeslyn. 

The people in the room gasped. How could this woman think of Alpha Chaos‘ wife as someone unbefitting to be here?! 

Even so, the hostess didn’t dare to get upset. She smiled and said politely, “But Madam, she’s Alpha Chaos‘ wife, your daughter–in–law-” 

“Did I ever tell you that she’s my daughter–in–law?” Madam Caroline glared at the hostess who immediately shrank her neck. 

“Jeslyn is not recognized by the main branch of the Lu family,” Madam Lu chimed in. 

Everyone turned to look at her as she sat there in her seat like she didn’t just drop a bomb. 

“What do you mean?” The hostess asked with a frown. 

“Jeslyn or whatever she is called, got pregnant out of wedlock at a tender age, a rule that goes against my Lu family. Secondly, my cousin–in–law, Lu Ren, is considered to be the next head of the Lu family. As the head of the Lu family, he cannot marry a woman that has no proper upbringing or decent 

behavior. 

“The rules of the Lu family state that, the next Matriarch of the family must be chosen by the Living ancestors and she must be of sound character, dependant on her husband and the Lu family, and care only about the wellbeing of the Lu family, respect her husband’s mother and treat her like a demi–god, while she treats her husband and son like gods as they lord over her. 

“Jeslyn doesn’t have any of those qualities. She’s an entertainer and we all know that 90% of these entertainers sell their bodies for fame and riches. Who knows how many men had touched her before Alpha Chaos brought her back?” Madam Lu said with disdain. 

Everyone turned to look at Jeslyn. She had a smile on her beautiful face but inside, she was dying of anger because the insult and embarrassment got to her veins. 

Madam Caroline smiled smugly, “Who still sees this filthy wench as my son’s wife?” She asked but nobody said a thing. 

The people were lost for words. The majority of them know that Alpha Chaos and Rex do not recognize their mother, but even so, the woman had been using her sons‘ names to her advantage all these years and none of them had come out to stop her. Their silent treatment was not enough to tell the people that Madam Caroline’s sons hated their mother or didn’t want anything to do with her. Didn’t they just accept Piper after so many years of treating her with condescension? What if in the 

end, they choose their mother over Jeslyn? After all, the living ancestors have taken sides already. 

Seeing that the people were confused about what step to take, Madam Caroline continued, “I, Lu Caroline Xu, do not see this scheming and disgusting woman as my daughter–in–law, and neither do the Lu’s living ancestors and anyone from the Lu mansion consider her a member of the family, so who dares go against me?!” 

Nobody said a thing but from their reaction, one could tell that they had taken Madam Caroline’s side as everyone who was standing beside Jeslyn slowly walked away. None of them want to have issues with Madam Caroline. 

“Mo-“Piper was about to speak but Jeslyn stopped her. 

“Let’s agree to disagree that your rules state that I can’t be here because neither you nor the Lu main family accepts me even though my marriage with your son is legit. 

“Although my husband stopped the videos from our wedding from spreading, the videos have been trending lately, which means, I’m legitimately Alpha Chaos‘ wife but if you don’t want to accept that, then, is it enough that I’m the richest woman in this room? After all, my gracious mother–in–law quoted the rules a moment ago.” she smiled. 

The insult that Madam Lu uttered just now was not forgiven. She’s going to pay dearly for it but for now, she’ll address her mother–in–law’s matters first. 

Madam Caroline’s eyes were about to pop out of their socket as she watched with a raging heart. Jeslyn dared to flaunt Madam Caroline’s wealth as hers! 

Seeing that Madam Caroline was about to explode, Jeslyn continued,“You don’t believe me? Mother–in–law, tell them. Aside from $30 trillion, I have an unlimited card from ‘World Elites and Royal bank. Is that enough to be here?” she pulled out the black card from her purse. 

Gasps and murmurs broke out in the crowd, even those watching live forgot to breathe for a moment! 

The First Lady finally turned to look behind her. Her eyes lit up when she saw who had been causing a ruckus. It was Jeslyn, Brian’s friend! 

She was about to send her Assistant to help Jeslyn out but decided against it. She wanted to see if Jeslyn has it in her to defend herself. 

“Your husband’s money is not your money, Jeslyn.” Madam Lu spoke with spite. She was extremely jealous of Jeslyn and also angry at her for what happened at Valen’s school 

Jeslyn smiled and kept her card away, “I knew you’d hold a grudge. You should be ashamed but anyway, what should I expect?… You said my husband’s money isn’t mine, but your husband’s is yours?” 

“I have my own money!” 

“Hahaha… What do you do for a living? Aren’t you a housewife who receives from her husband and his family? What? You indirectly called me a prostitute because I have a career. I agree, but you, what good are you aside from being a freeloader?” 

“I was the eldest Miss of a reputable family before I married my husband! So I have–” 

“Still doesn’t change anything, Sister–in–law. When you were a Miss, you relied on your father’s 

money. Now you are married, you still rely on your husband’s money. However, in my case, I’m a 

Celebrity who earns from hard work, so who among us is not worthy of being here?” (1
