Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 26

26 Kidnapped- Ray’s anger

Then she thought of her career. Which agency would agree to take her now? Even if the doors are open, the so-called young Miss who’s after her life wouldn’t allow agencies to take her in and no agency would want to fight those people for a D-list singer like her. (1)

And that husband of hers. He isn’t even here to pick her up, which means she was right all along. He has forgotten about her. Anyways, why was she even adding him to her list of worries? Whenever she sees him, she’ll just drag him to the civil affairs bureau to get a divorce. After all, what she needed the marriage for, she couldn’t protect anyway.

“Young Miss, please get in the car,” Spid said as he walked over with two cups of milk tea in his hands. Hearing that, Jeslyn instantly remembered what Pink warned her about and she took a protective

stance.

“W-what do you mean?”

Spid stretched the milk tea to her and said: “Now that you have won the case, you should take something. You haven’t eaten since.”

Jeslyn took the milk tea from him but that didn’t make her relax her guard. She looked at him skeptically, waiting for him to explain what he meant by ‘get inside the car.

“Where do you want to go now aside from following me?” He asked her with a brow raised.

He knew that her property had been taken from her but his boss told him to not care about it in court, so he didn’t bother to bring it up.

“I still have other places I can live. I’m old enough to take care of myself. By the way, I don’t know you, and

you still won’t tell me who sent you.” She said while taking the straw in the cup to her lips. 3

Seeing that she was dragging the content in the cup, Spid’s eyes smiled before he said:

“Hmm,” he nodded. “I can see that you have a place to stay, it’s written all over your face. As for who sent me, I don’t know how you both got to be familiar with each other, also, that isn’t my business. I’m almost done with my task, so don’t make…”

The minute Jeslyn heard that voice, she knew Christine was about to play the white lotus card in public. She would probably cry and show the world how much she loved her sister. 2

Jeslyn didn’t bother to turn back and hurried into the car. “Mr. Spider, please start that car, I don’t want to have anything to do with those people.” 2

Spid turned to look at the court entrance. The Chou and Zhou families with a few reporters were heading towards them with Christine running over while wiping her face. She looked like a good sister crying for her older sister.

Spid whose face was concealed behind a mask narrowed his eyes at Christine who was a few steps away from the car before he opened the driver’s seat and got in.

He waited for Christine to hold the knob of the back seat’s door… attempting to open it before he

turned the key, started the car, and stepped on the accelerator.

The action of the car speeding out of Christine’s hand shocked her into falling with a loud thud!

Unfortunately for her, the area she fell to wasn’t a flat surface, so she fell head-first on the raised side of the road.

“Christine!” Mrs. Wales screamed. She rushed to help her and rested Christine’s bleeding forehead on her lap while screaming for an ambulance.-

Looking at the cameras, Christine burst into tears while saying: “Mother, father, older sister hates me now. She misunderstood me again.” Her voice grew weaker and weaker until her eyes closed and her breathing went slower. 3

“Christine!”

“Call the ambulance, hurry, my child!”

The reporters ran wild and started to take pictures of Christine who had fainted.

“Poor Christine, that fall must have shocked her so badly, coupled with the hatred from her sister!” “Jeslyn is too ungrateful. Christine did so much just to preserve her life and yet she almost ran her over with a car!”

“Jeslyn might not have killed her grandfather, but with what she just did, she is capable of killing someone, such a black-hearted lady, hmph!”

Even though it was obvious that Jeslyn wasn’t the driver of the car, the people believed that she asked the driver to run Christine over.

The public that was rejoicing over Jeslyn’s release a while ago suddenly didn’t know what to start feeling anymore. 1

Some were in a dilemma, asking themselves how they would feel if a family member they loved so much testified against them in court.

Some supported Jeslyn while others supported Christine.

Whatever the public thought, one thing was apparent. Christine was not hated by the masses, instead, they felt sorry for her. Also, she succeeded in making Jeslyn a dubious character in the eyes of many..

Inside the car heading to the airport, Jeslyn could be seen with her head on the headrest, eyes closed and breathing calmly.

Spid pulled off the mask to reveal a well-sculpted face. He glanced at the sleeping Jeslyn, then curled his sexy lips into a faint smile before he picked up his phone to make a call.

“Hey, get the plane ready.”

That night, Ray was seen at a bar drinking himself into a stupor.

“Ray, that’s enough, stop it already!” His friend tried to force the glass off his hand.

“Let go!” Ray pushed his guy’s hand away.

“What the hell do you want, Ray? You never liked her, so what’s your problem?!”

“Yes, I never liked her! For four years, I felt nothing for her, she was like a pest to me, but what the hell

did her lawyer mean by all that? What did she tell her lawyer about me?!”

“Well, Ray, actually it was 5 years, you two had been together for 5 years…”

“Shut the f*ck up and stop acting like that damn lawyer!” Ray’s mind flashed as he was forced to

remember the event in court.

“Mr. Ray, for how long have you been together with Miss Jeslyn?”

“Four years-”

“From your report, it’s been 5 years, Mr. Ray…. Your honor, if Mr. Ray cannot even remember how long

he and Miss Jeslyn had been together, then how can he claim he loved her?”

Ray watched as the judge nodded his head before the mask lawyer continued.

“Mr. Ray, have you ever had intimacy with Miss Jeslyn?”

“No.”

“But she had visited you a lot in the past.”

“Yes.”

“Have you ever shown her your naked body?”

“No”

“Oh? And you mean she hasn’t seen your great body anywhere before?”
