Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 92

92 Jeslyn’s disbelief

“Grandpa, I’m so sorry… your unfilial granddaughter finally found the time to come see you.

Grandma, please forgive me, I’m the reason for the family’s downfall.

M om… I was wrong for being such a weakling… Jeslyn brushed her palm over the smooth glass, no dirt could be found on it.

Thinking the management cleaned it, Jeslyn’s heavy heart calmed a bit. Not everyone would care about the remains of a fallen family, so Jeslyn was earnestly grateful.

After a long while of crying and apologizing, Jeslyn started to play around. She believed that her family wouldn’t be happy seeing her like this, so she similed.

“Grandpa, I married a bad man. Your son-in-law is not a normal person…” She picked up the Crimson Rose and added it to the apology Roses placed inside the small vase attached to her mother’s glass.

“I don’t know his full capability but he’s one of the devils in country M. She picked up a yellow Rose and placed it inside her grandmother’s vase. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you know…” she smiled. “He has a son. He is very cute and I love him a lot even though I hated him before…” she chuckled and continued to brief her family about how her life had been ever since.

Sometimes the sound of her laughter traveled through the place, other times, her cries and sniffs, while most times her voice could be heard as she talked to her family like they were there.

Inside one of the higher-ups’ offices, the man had been deliberating if he should call Ray as promised or inform him when he comes tomorrow.

Every morning, Ray comes to the place to keep it clean with his own hands. He cleans the glasses and changes the flowers and pictures. He wasn’t doing it because he wanted to be forgiven. He was doing it because he knew that If Jeslyn was still alive, she would be the one doing everything now. 1

Ray was inside his car speeding to the company, lost in thought. He didn’t take anyone along. including his chauffeur. His phone rang which jolted him back to reality. He clicked on his earpod to answer the call.

His face changed when he heard what the other person said. “Screeeeech!!” He recklessly turned the car around without caring about the cars coming behind him.

“Keep them there and don’t let them leave!” He hurriedly said before he stepped on the accelerator and almost flew out off the road like a racing car about to overtake its competitors.

Ray got to the columbarium but he was a little too late.

“I’m sorry, CEO Ray, they left a while ago, we couldn’t keep them. The manager reported with his head bowed. How could he stop them when a gun was pointed at his head? None of the girls looked friendly at all, so all he could do was to keep his life.

“What route did they leave from?”

“CEO Ray, I’m not sure

“Useless!” Ray hissed, got into his car, and dr ove off. Who else would that be? He had been coming

here every day for the past three months and no one has ever come here to family.

pay homage to the Lee

For some reason, Ray’s instinct was telling him it was Jelsyn but he didn’t dare to believe it because he saw Jeslyn’s ‘dead body’ from the video Emilee sent him.

While Ray was almost going crazy thinking of who that person was, Jeslyn’s car was speeding across the busy roads.

“Little bunny, where do you want to go after here?”

“I want to see everything my family once owned,” she replied.

Pink nodded and directed Blue on where to go.

The first place Jeslyn stopped at was the Lee mansion. She got down from the car and stood by the door to feed her eyes with the beauty of the mansion one more time.

On the black bar gates was a black placard with the words ‘Lee mansion’ written on it.

The two-story wh ite mansion stood strong in the middle of the big compound with a swimming pool by its side. Memories of how she rushed to drive her car in and out of the bar gates every day flashed through her mind.

Jeslyn sh ut her eyes for a moment and when she opened them again, the emotions had disappeared. She got into the car and it started moving out of Lee street.

Unbeknownst to them, an almost invisible camera was fixed around the house and one was placed on the placard. Luckily Jeslyn’s face was always disguised and also covered by the veil, however, Pink and Blue were captured by the CCTV.

Inside the car, Jeslyn voiced out her doubt. “Older sister, the house looked empty and there’s still the placard my grandfather placed on it. Why has it not been removed?”

“It seems the person who stole the property hasn’t touched anything yet.”

“Oh? I doubt that. The company should be doing well. I checked the progress of the company but found nothing. It’s like the new owner has taken the Lee cooperation off the internet.

Pink slightly shook her head. She’ll just allow Jeslyn to see the state of the companies by herself.

Getting to the headquarters of the company Jeslyn looked from her window but refused to get down. She slowly turned to look at Pink. “I- is th- this m- my family’s company?”

Pink nodded.

Jeslyn shook her head. “Lies. Th- this is the wrong address.” She refused to believe it even though the name, “Lee cooperation’ was written on the top of the fifty-story building.

Pink sighed. She got down from the front seat and entered the back seat. She pulled the shocked Jeslyn to herself and hugged her. “Little bunny… they are not your family’s property anymore. Forget

about them.”

Jeslyn fervently shook her head on Pink’s bosom. “My grandpa suffered so much when he…when he started this company.” She choked on her tears. “My grandma died because of this company… older sister…” She looked up at Pink’s stoic face and slowly pointed a finger at the dilapidated building with
