Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 303

303 Why he hated his daughter

“Mom, Mr. Wales refused to tell me everything! What should I do now?

“Grandpa, why is everyone taking advantage of me and treating me like this? Why do I always get betrayed? Why have I been living in lies?! Why me?!!!” She slumped on her bed.

“Christine betrayed me for money, Ray deceived me, Grandpa, you left me, and now, my parents have been lying to me for 26 years. Who knows, I might suddenly fall sick tonight and die tomorrow due to ATOM. Grandpa…” she paused, “I’m emotionally exhausted. I can’t take this anymore,” silent tears trailed down her cheeks.

A drop of tear fell on the rainborite stone engraved in her ring and in no time, a dazzling green light shone brightly from it and enveloped Jeslyn for about ten seconds before the light went back into the stone that was still emitting a glow of other colors.

Jeslyn’s tears immediately ceased coming as she felt warmth coursed through her body, massaged her organs, and sent calm into her mind.

Her body felt relaxed and her heavy heart felt sudden peace. She soon started to feel dizzy. She opened the covers, got in and pulled the covers over herself before she fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning…

Jeslyn woke up feeling energized and happy. If not that her memory was intact, one would have thought that what happened yesterday never occurred because Jeslyn seemed really happy this morning.

What happened with the ring last night was so phenomenal that she intended to keep it a secret, unless she got back to Country M and told her husband about it.

But for now, she has other matters to attend to.

After Jeslyn was done with her morning routine, she got dressed in a nude knee–length gown, black heels, a nude handbag, black shades, and a black hat- ready to head out again.

At the Prison…

Mr. Wales was brought out of his cell again to see Jeslyn. Even when he didn’t want to, he had no choice as he was literally dragged to the visitor’s room.

“What do you want this time?” He asked with a glare,

“I thought about what you said yesterday. Although, I didn’t doubt it much because the way you’ve treated me all those years already told me how much you hated my guts. So, I’m here to seek the truth and know how everything happened. In return, I’ll grant you freedom-” She raised her palm to stop hiin from interrupting her.

“… I’ll also get your company back for you. That’s a good deal, right?” Jeslyn stared at him.

Mr. Wales gazed at her for a long time before he went to sit on his seat.

“I don’t need anything from you. I just hope you’ll be lenient on your sisters,” he said.

“When you said ‘lenient, you mean, I should give them a quick death?” Jeslyn squinted her eyes at

him.

“Jeslyn! How can you conceal the idea to kill your sisters?!”

“Mr. Wales, please let’s not be hypocritical, it’s too late for that… Just yesterday, you told me you weren’t my father. Didn’t that mean that your daughters aren’t my sisters?” Jeslyn arched her brow.

The middle–aged man took a deep breath and voiced out, “That’s the only payment I’m willing to exchange for the information you’re asking for; the safety of my daughters.”

“Hahaha… Mr. Wales, don’t flatter yourself. Do you seriously think I’d let you go after you’ve made it known to me that you know something about my true identity? Don’t be delusional.”

“What do you intend to do to my daughters and I?” Mr. Wales‘ heart was already trembling in fear but still tried to look and sound fearless. He might not be scared of Jeslyn because he watched her grow to become the lady that she had become, but he was undoubtedly scared of Jeslyn’s husband and the guards she brought along.

For some reason, Mr. Wales believes that Jeslyn doesn’t have the heart to kill him.

“How about we make that a secret?”

“Do you really intend to kill your siblings?” He asked again for confirmation.

Jeslyn nodded fervently like he wouldn’t understand her stance if she didn’t make it very obvious.

“Then, I’ll take the first offer,” he proclaimed.

“Good choice“, Jeslyn beamed annoyingly.

‘Give him back his business? Ha, if I don’t end you in this jail, then you should be grateful, Jeslyn thought to herself.

Mr. Wales leaned forward and got lost in his memories.

Years back…

Mr. Wales was seen hugging Alice with excitement written all over his face.

“I can’t believe this, wife. We’ll be having our first child soon! You’ve made me proud, I’ll forever love and cherish you!”

Alice smiled faintly while in his strong embrace.

The next day, Mr. Wales went to work, but on his way back, he intended to stop at Bella’s house to break up with her but fortunately, a few luxurious cars overtook his car and blocked his path.

A few men in black got out of the cars, walked up to Mr. Wale’s car and threatened him to come down with machine guns in hand.

One of the unknown gunmen slapped Mr. Wales at the back of his neck and forced him to start walking to one of the cars parked in the middle of the entourage cars.

Mr. Wales knew that he hadn’t offended anyone with such great power and also, thanks to Alice, he

knew all the big shots in Country G, but these people, he had no idea who they were.

Getting to the tilted car in the middle, one of the gunmen kicked Mr. Wales‘ knees, prompting him to fall to his knees.

“Bow your head, you’re unfit to stare at my master!” One of the gunmen thundered.

Scared out of his wits, Mr. Wales immediately prostrated flatly on the quiet street.

The car door was pushed open and a leg wearing a black leather ladies‘ ankle boots stepped on Mr. Wale’s fingers with the pencil heels. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Mr. Wales took in a sharp breath. He didn’t dare to scream out loud even though the pain was enough to make him scream out his organs,

“Worthless man,” the sweet voice of a lady drifted into his ears.

Mr. Wales didn’t dare to raise his head from the ground to see who this person was, but from her delicate and sharp voice, he knew she wasn’t one to be messed with.
