Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 308

308 Accepting her mother (2)

“Thank you for your understanding child“, Pink placed the other palm to cover Jeslyn’s hand. 1

Jeslyn smiled with her lips sealed. She hasn’t fully accepted Pink yet but Pink is hurting as much as her, so she didn’t want to add to her heartache.

“I’m a mother too, I won’t be able to bear it if Valen hates me,” Jeslyn explained.

Pink smiled sadly and nodded. She knew that accepting her would take more than just an emotional cry and bonding.

An awkward silence filled the room for a while before Jeslyn clicked her tongue and exclaimed softly, “Ah, Mr. Wales told me I had a twin brother whom he gave out, do you know about it?” Jeslyn diverted the topic. The awkward moment was getting uncomfortable and she needed to change the atmosphere.

Pink froze when she heard that. “Tw- twin? Twin brother? W- wh- what are you talking about?!“.

“Ah, it seems your spy didn’t tell you that Mr. Wales said you gave birth to twins. He ‘killed‘ me and took away my twin brother-”

To where?!” Pink panicked and grabbed Jeslyn’s arm. “Wh- where did he take your twin brother?!” Her tears that had dried off a while ago started gathering in her eyes again.

Jeslyn stared at Pink for holding her arm tightly. She took a deep breath and said, “our relationship is still awkward. Do you want my husband and child to be mad at you for bruising my arm?“.

Pink realized what she had done and immediately let Jeslyn go, “So- sorry, it wasn’t intentional.” she hurriedly apologized.

“I understand.” Jeslyn rubbed her palm before she started to explain. “Mr. Wales didn’t know the woman but from the story he narrated to me, the woman is an epitome of shrewdness. She had men that went everywhere with machine gu-”

“Machine guns!?” Pink instantly completed the words in a loud voice with a mixture of fear and disbelief.

Jeslyn looked surprised at Pink’s reaction but she slowly nodded to confirm Pink’s words.

“Nancy!” She gritted her teeth as she spelt the name in anger. She slapped the table and slowly balled her hand in a tight fist. Pink must have forgotten that Jeslyn was right beside her because at this moment, Pink’s mind seemed to have traveled far at the mention of that name.”

“From your reaction, it seems you know her really well“.

Pink snapped back to reality and slowly nodded.

“Then, my brother can be found. I’m relieved“. Jeslyn said but Pink shook her head.

“It’s not as easy as you think“.

“Why?” Jeslyn asked.

“Nancy is the devil’s incarnate. To get your brother back from her, it would be impossible, unless…” Pink paused.

“She dies?” Jeslyn asked.

Pink looked at her before she smiled. “What are you planning?”

“She’s not an immortal. If she won’t return my brother, then she dies. Isn’t that simple?”

“Hahahaha…” Pink laughed out loud. “If it’s that easy to kill her, do you think I would have let her live to this day? I would have killed her 27 years ago“.

“Oh? Tell me what she is“.

Pink filled her glass of wine and laid her back on the couch.

“Nancy… she’s the genius daughter of Mr. Chengdu, head of one of the hidden families in the world. She didn’t go to school but is extreinely intelligent that she holds the world’s record for the highest IQ in the world-”

Jeslyn gasped. “I’ve heard of that person!”

Pink nodded, “Yes, it’s her. Her information is well hidden even your husband who is one of the best hackers in the Country couldn’t manage to break into her hidden information after trying for three years.

“Nancy’s family is the mastermind behind the idea of the Dark- Age organization and that made her so powerful that no one dares to make her an enemy.

“She kills without blinking and her heart is unfathomable. No one has been able to link her family members to her, except her step–sister who married the President.

“Even though Country M has an acting president, Nancy is the true President. Whatever she goes. But no one, including her sister and the President, knows that“.

“Why?” Jeslyn frowned.

says

“The President and the higher–ups thinks that Nancy is submissive to her husband but it’s only a

sham“.

“Oh, then she’s a hard nut to crack, but I’m sure if my twin wants to return, Nancy or whatever won’t object“, Jeslyn thought out loud.

Pink shook her head, “She would“. She replied while lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the news of Mr. Wales’s death has gotten to Country M but instead of feeling sad like every child would do after their parent’s death, Emilee and Christine didn’t feel an iota of sorrow.

Presently, they were dining together at a restaurant.

“These days, the internet seems to not be in your favour, lay low and don’t agitate Jeslyn. I’m preparing something for her“.

Christine nodded.

Emilee inquired after cutting her dessert, “How is it going with Young Master Wu?“.

“Things seem fine,” Christine replied.

Emilee’s hands paused and she slowly looked at Christine. After a long while, she returned her gaze to

the dessert and said uninterestedly: “It’s already close to 4 months. You still haven’t gotten him to fall in love with you. I didn’t put you there to be a waste“, she picked the dessert with a spoon and ate it. Christine flattened her lips, “I’m sorry older sister“, she apologized.

“I do not need apologies but actions. I give you one week. If you can’t do what you were placed there for, I’ll replace you… it has a consequence“. With that, Emilee pulled a white handkerchief, patted her lips with it and stood up, ready to leave.

Christine also got up, “Older sister, are you leaving? What about Dad’s funeral?”

“I got people to take care of it“. With that, she left her chair and walked towards the door.

Christine watched her leave before she picked up her phone and called in Assistant Miles.

Assistant Miles opened the private room door and walked in.

“Young Miss“, she greeted.

“How about the thing I asked you to prepare?” Christine asked.

“It’s almost ready“.

“Good“, Christine smiled as she thought of her plans. Once she succeeded, victory would be hers!Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
