Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 101

101 Wanting Valen for a sl ave

Pink, who was pacing around, stopped to look behind her and saw Jeslyn running towards her. "Take it easy, mad girl!" Pink chastised playfully.

"I- I'm fine," Jeslyn waved her hand, almost out of breath.

"What is it?"

"I need some money, lend me and I will pay you back in a while." Jeslyn flashed her poopy eyes and smiled like a cute bunny.

Seeing this, Pink couldn't resist but still played hard to get. "I don't have any money to spare, you came too late.”

"Ah! Older sister, stop lying!" Jeslyn pouted.

Pink couldn't help but smile. The face Jeslyn was making made Pink burst into a fit of laughter. "Stop making that face. Fine, I will lend you, but how much?" Jeslyn beamed, "come closer," she waved her forward.

Pink understood that she'll be needing a huge amount of money and immediately waved her away. "Don't come closer. I'll give you my credit card. Spend as much as you can pay. Yes, you heard me... as much as you can pay. Don't be a golddigger." Jeslyn only nodded and said nothing.

Pink dug a hand into her suit and pulled out a card.

"Jeez! Did you have to yell? I never said I won't pay!" Jeslyn lamented after the card had gotten into her palm.

"Return it," Pink opened her palm.

Impossible!" Jeslyn refused and ran back to the house.

Pink chuckled and shook her head. "Na ughty," she murmured.

"Boss, aren't we going with her? I think she's going out." Blue's voice came from behind Pink.

"She's taking a car, isn't she?" Pink answered sarcastically with a raised brow.

A while later, Jeslyn returned with Valen and got into the black low-key car prepared for them.

While they were leaving the compound, Pink sent a message to Maverick before keeping her phone

away.

"Valen, where would you like to go after we are done shopping?"

"Anywhere," the child replied.

"Okay... we would go shopping, from there, we would go to the amusement park and then go to a restaurant and... hmmm... where else?..." Jeslyn couldn't think of anywhere else a child like Valen would like to go.

"A haunted house?... Ice skating?... Watching skiing?... A cinema?... There are lots of places you could go, but one day is not enough," Blue chimed in.

"What an excellent idea! Where would you choose from the options?" Jeslyn said excitedly. "A haunted house and watching skiing," Valen said, a little excited. 1

"Okay!" Jeslyn did her fingers in an ok gesture. "Whatever the child wants!" She laughed.

The car stopped at the largest shopping center. Entering the elevator, Jeslyn came face to face with one of her nemeses. She froze in her tracks, staring eyeball to eyeball at the elegantly dressed woman in front of her, except that the woman couldn't see beyond Jeslyn's shades.

She walked in to stand beside the woman, holding Jeskyj closer to her.

"Mummy, this kid is sooo handsome!" A cute-looking girl of about Valen's age exclaimed. The child's words pulled her mother's attention away from the sexy-looking Jeslyn and shifted her gaze to Valen. The woman's lips parted slightly, she almost attested to Valen's cuteness until she realized the child was someone else's and that her own daughter might feel bad.

"You are prettier," she told her daughter.

"Mother, I want to have him. I need him to be around me. Whenever my older sister is not home, I can go to him." The child looked at her mother with expectations in her eyes. 'Her mother would say, yes,' she thought. 2

"Ehm... Chi Chi, they are..." the woman turned to look at Valen. She felt Jeslyn was the mother of the cute boy because the other two women stood like guards and their black and white official dress code affirmed it.

She knew what her child wanted. Chi chi took the cute boy for a toy, however, there was no way she would tell the mother that.

"Miss,"

Jeslyn turned her head to look over her shoulder without responding.

"Your child looks cut-"

"It's obvious," Jeslyn's cold voice interrupted the woman.

The woman was taken aback. The voice sounded familiar, at the same time, unfamiliar. She cleared her throat awkwardly and smiled, yet her mind was cussing.

'Why was this arrogant sl ut acting ig norant about her identity? Who doesn't know that she is Christine's new 'adopted' mother? The MOTHER of the celebrity making waves right now. Who doesn't know that she used to be the stepmother of that worthless Jeslyn? Who in this country doesn't know that she is now the legitimate madam of the Chen family? Who is so blind that doesn't know that their family would soon be the top richest in the whole country?!"

Wild dreams!

Madam Wales was about to blow up but calmed herself down. Although Jeslyn looked classy and smelled of money, the woman didn't acknowledge that Jeslyn was as wealthy as her. "My daughter would love to have your child as her playmate. I'll pay you handsomely if you agree to allow your son to visit us often. I have never told my daughter 'no' ever since she was born, so I don't want to shatter her dreams now. What do you say?" Madam Chen didn't sound like she was asking for

a favor but rather, it felt like she was the one doing Jeslyn a favor.

Blue and Pink gazed from the woman to Jeslyn, waiting for an order to bl ow her brain out.

Jeslyn took off her shades and examined her stepmother for a while. 'Good thing that you didn't allow me to wait for too long, you brought yourself right in front of me, begging for death. Why should I refuse?' she thought in her head while her lips curved into a smile.

She lowered her gaze to the child that was almost drooling while staring at Valen with her eyes sparkling. She squatted in front of the child and asked while still smiling: "You want my Valen for a sla ve, don't you?"

Chi Chi nodded.
