Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 20

20 Court summons- fanfare 

“Oh, little bunny, what’s your husband’s name? You kept saying ‘the man’ all through and didn’t say his name.” Yellow looked at her, waiting to hear the name. 

Jeslyn sighed. “You are probably going to call me stupid again.” She looked at both girls and said in a small voice as she shrank her neck. “I didn’t ask his name and I don’t know anything about him.” (1 

“Hahahahaha” t 

“Pfft” 

Yellow laughed so hard like her life would end if she didn’t have a good laugh while Pink sniffled a laugh, causing the water she was drinking to go down the wrong path. 2 

She coughed for a while before saying: “Little bunny, I’m very confident now that you’ll be the end of me. You never stop stabbing me with your foolishness.” (3) 

“That’s right. Bunny, who marries a stranger? What if he’s a villain? Did you stop to think that he might be worse than your gold-digging family? I drop my hat for you, honey, you are a badass. Hahahaha…” 

Jeslýn sighed and allowed Yellow to laugh her lungs out. 

She thought about Yellow’s words and sighed again. She was really a stupid person.

The next morning, as early as 6 am, Jeslyn and the others heard the banging sound on the gate. 

“Who the f*ck are you!? Why won’t you let me sleep for Pete’s sake!!?” Yellow yelled as she grabbed her pillow to cover her head. 

“Inmate Lee…69, you have a court summons by 8 am. The people are here to get you.” The wardeness said while she ignored Yellow. 

Hearing that, the three girls sat up on their beds. 

Jeslyn didn’t know how to feel about this, nor did the girls. 

She got down and smiled at the girls who were looking at her with complicated emotions on their faces. 

“This is the first trial, I think. I’ll be back in a while, don’t miss your little bunny too much.” She said as she hugged them one after the other. 3 

The two girls hugged her before Pink said: “Yeah, come back early or else you’ll sleep with a rumbling stomach.” 

Jeslyn laughed and responded. “My big sisters always got my back. I’m sure you’ll keep a portion for me,” She winked. 

“Ouch, she’s seducing me.” Yellow held her heart dramatically, making Jeslyn laugh. 

“Get your a’s out here!” The wardeness yelled at Jeslyn. 

“Shut the f*ck up!” Pink yelled back at the wardeness who flinched at those menacing eyes that were staring at her. 

“You wanna get spanked, child?” Yellow raised the corner of her lips. She hates this wardeness and soon enough, she’s going to get rid of her. 

Waking her up with a banging on the gate and treating her like a disgusting piece of shit seems to not be enough for her, now she dared to yell at their little bunny. 

Jeslyn got to the door and waved at the two before she left with the wardeness. 

“Think she’s coming back here?” Yellow asked Pink. 

“It’s Spid, so she’s not coming back.” She answered and headed to her bed with an intricate look on 

her face. 

After a while, her face turned sinister. A look that Jeslyn had never seen before. “That wardeness…” 

she stated. 

“Yes, boss,” Yellow answered with a slight bow of her head. 

Pink doesn’t need to finish her words before Yellow understands the point. 

“When is his letter coming? I need to leave this damn place before Q does.” Pink asked as she stared at the gate. 

“The letter should be arriving next week. Q went on a mission with her girls and will be done in a month.” 

“That’s good news.” Something flickered across Pink’s eyes for a brief moment and disappeared like it 

never came… 

At the court, Jeslyn could be seen, sitting beside Spid who was wearing a black mask. She wondered why he was wearing that though but didn’t ask. 

There were plenty of cameras in the Courtroom, viewing the room from different angles. 

Reporters and Journalists were outside the supreme court, giving reports on the happening in the court to the people. 

Almost the whole world was forced to participate in this case as all the media outlets which included; radio stations, Tv stations, websites, magazines, newspapers, and so on were covering Jeslyn’s case. 

Many wondered who this sensational criminal was that needed the world to see her name getting cleared, so they dived in on the old news about her. 

Some immediately sneered at the hidden truth in her case while some believed she was guilty without even waiting to hear the supreme court’s judgment. However, the majority chose to sit on the fence. Some who knew of the case before, including Jeslyn’s fans, were starting to doubt their earlier choice while the stubborn ones still held on to their conviction that she was guilty while accusing her of utilizing her family’s wealth to try to prove her innocence. 

Thinking it that way, Jeslyn became more detested, just like a maggot. 

In court, the judge walked into the room and the normal ritual of greeting was held before the trial 

commenced. 

Witness after witness was brought to the box, including those that had testified against her before, and all of them stood by their words. 

Lawyer An and his team did a great job of pinning the crime on Jeslyn and wouldn’t let go. 

Let her go? When she already knew what kind of a person he was? Of course not! She must rot in prison and he would make sure of it. 

Although they were all bothered by the fact that Jeslyn could find herself a lawyer while in prison to help her make such a fanfare, however, they believe that she would only be destroying herself the more and if possible, the judge and the jury should give her a death sentence for wasting the supreme 

court’s time. 

They didn’t believe the evidence could be found to be fabricated. How can a real video be proven to. be forged? 

The video was real, but not the humans in it. 

Lawyer An curled his lips as she thought of the excellent plan they came up with that had no single plot hole. 

How is Spid going to handle such a case? 8
