Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 375

375 Charity event (2)

Jeslyn’s face changed for a fleeting second before she smiled and caressed Madam Caroline’s wrist. Her fingers touched an object and when she looked, it was a beautiful bracelet. (1

“Hai, mother–in–law, you should have told me at home, no wonder you sounded angry. I’m sorry, ma!” Jeslyn left her mother–in–law’s hand and continué;

“I know that your bracelet is made of pure gold and diamonds. It was a gift from my husband but mother–in–law, don’t you think that my husband will be sad if you give it up for auction?”

Didn’t Madam Caroline gather friends because she used her husband’s name? Then Jeslyn will stripe her off everything using her husband’s name.

Madam Caroline gasped and her eyes widened in horror. This–this-

Celestine, Beverly, Kimberly, and Piper couldn’t help clapping in their minds at Jeslyn’s shamelessness.

Before Madam Caroline could speak, Jeslyn grabbed her hand and started taking off the bracelet. But don’t worry mother–in–law, I’ll tell my husband that you did it for a good course. He will surely get you another one.”

Madam Caroline’s eyes widened. She tried to pull her hand but Jeslyn wouldn’t let her.

“I bet it would sell and believe me, the orphans will love the money you’d be contributing to their lives. They’d pray for long life and prosperity for you,” Jeslyn was saying all that amidst smiles as she aggressively pulled the bracelet off Madam Caroline’s wrist.

Jeslyn looked behind her at Piper and said, “Please, add it to the items to be auctioned.”

“Right away,” Piper replied and sent the item to the hostess.

Some women couldn’t help smiling and getting excited to buy the bracelet once it is being auctioned. That bracelet is the most expensive bracelet of the century.

Two years ago when Madam Caroline got the bracelet made by a retired and old Jewelry maker who was nicknamed ‘god of accessories‘, the media covered the story of the bracelet, from the start of its making to the end.

The bracelet’s worth is enough to buy a small Country.

Many women were dying to get their hands on the bracelet or its kind, but couldn’t afford it… Not because of money but the connection. Getting the ‘god of accessories‘ to do things for a person requires the person to be well–connected. Madam Caroline could only get the bracelet because of her relationship with Maverick.

Owning an accessory made by the ‘god of accessories‘ was every rich woman’s dream, so why won’t they be eager to get Madam Caroline’s bracelet?

Madam Caroline finally knew that she had fallen into Jeslyn’s trap.

Not only did Jeslyn make this event in her name to tell the world that she was a dutiful

daughter–in–law who is hated by her ungrateful mother–in–law, but she’s also now being made to sell

out what she loved the most in the world.

She hadn’t said anything since morning because the last card‘ she had been saving for Maverick told her not to do anything and leave Maverick and his wife to them, which was why, Madam Caroline had

been quiet all these while but at this moment, she couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Jeslyn, who approved of you to be my daughter–in–law?!” Madam Caroline’s crystal clear voice sounded in the hall, surprising those who had no idea about the mess in the family.

She was very angry because of the bracelet but couldn’t make it known because of her reputation, she channeled all her anger at Jeslyn. After today, she can still get the bracelet back from whoever buys it. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

When Madam Lu heard the condescending tone that Madam Caroline used on Jeslyn, she couldn’t hold back her chuckle.

Jeslyn stared at her Mother–in–law for a moment before she smiled, “Mother–in–law, don’t be like this. Our differences should be left to stay inside the family, right?” Jeslyn was still acting innocent until the matter took another turn.

“I do not recognize you as my daughter–in–law and anyone here who does, will be doing so at risk of offending me!” She thundered.

There were cameras in the hall and everything going on in the hall was being viewed live. Those words not only got Jeslyn’s fans angry it made anti–fans excited and their fingers couldn’t wait a little longer before their hands started dancing on their keyboards.

“You should be ashamed of yourself! My sister–in–law had the decency to give you a title you don’t deserve is already too much for someone with zero human feelings like you!” Piper came to Jeslyn’s

defense.

“Oh no, sister–in–law, that’s too much, she’s our mother. I know she did you wrong but we are in public and it wouldn’t be nice for your reputation either,” Jeslyn gently patted Piper’s shoulder.

One would think she was genuinely concerned about Madam Caroline but Piper and Kimberly, including Rex who was watching from home knew that Jeslyn was formulating another wicked plot.

“Jeslyn, you’re so kind, no wonder my older brother couldn’t resist you,” Kimberly joined in.

“Mother–in–law, I know that you are angry at us, but we are only children,” Jeslyn beamed sweetly.

Madam Caroline couldn’t take the White Lotus display anymore. She looked around the hall at everyone and said; “Events such as this are held for only the echelons of the Country. Those echelons, if I still remember correctly, consist of Misses from great families, Madams from powerful families, self– established independent women with nothing less than a billion in their account, Celebrities of the highest ranks, wives of government officials, the event organizers, and helpers.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Then, why am I seeing some irrelevant being in here? Since when did gatherings that calibers like myself and the first lady attend become anything for worthless things?” She condescendingly raised a brow.

Everyone was trying to figure out who she was referring to. Even Jeslyn was lost too.

The only person who didn’t do anything nor concern herself with the drama that was unfolding

behind her, was the first lady who was sitting in front, minding her business.
