Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 130

130 First day in class-weirdos

Years ago, some students from Country M came to Country A for an excursion. Christine saw a guy who stood out in the group of students and begged a senior student she was with at that time to help her take a photo of him. When their names were being mentioned for introduction, she grasped his name. Both the picture she later printed out and the name she heard the bit was called became deep- rooted in her mind. 1

Her most important reason for being a singer was to go to Country M and sign in to the top company just so she could be around her dream man. But then, Jeslyn ruined it!

“Jeslyn, it seems you are desperate to d ie, I’ll gladly send you off.” She picked up her phone and called her manager.

“Get me all the big deals you can get your hands on. I don’t care how you do it. I want to be an A-lister before next year. Also, get me a tutor. Since Celestine Xuan didn’t work out, look for another top star who is in the same ranking as her. In addition, if that doesn’t work out, then we have to continue with what we are doing. But I want to change artists. That lousy girl is slacking off. I don’t want her anymore and please, do well to get rid of her else she exposes me.”

Christine put away her phone and focused her attention on Maverick’s pictures. He only has a little rebalance with the man Jeslyn married. She didn’t pay much attention to the man when she saw him at the funeral because she believed he was nobody. So it turned out her Maverick was right in front of her and she allowed him to leave just like that?!

“Jeslyn…I’ll ruin you beyond recognition!” 1

Meanwhile, Jeslyn who was being talked about was sitting in a large hall with musical instruments placed on the stage. A laptop was placed In front of her, a notebook by her side, and her backpack

placed on the seat beside her.

Soon a boy walked in. He was wearing thick glasses and his hair looked a bit messy. He left a notebook in one hand and his backpack was hung on his right shoulder. The boy walked over clumsily to sit beside Jeslyn in the first row.

Jeslyn almost laughed at how he looked frightened and clumsy but she reined in her laughter to not startle the boy who looked like a ne rd.

She turned her gaze to her laptop and continued with what she was doing.

“H-hi, my name is Rubenstein. Rubenstein Ye.”

“I’m J-Rossa… Rossa Ming.” She smiled. She almost gave away her real identity but immediately stopped herself halfway when she remembered the identity Maverick gave her.

Maverick told her to let the people believe she was dead and stick to a new identity for now until she’s at the top. That way, her hidden enemy would be caught off guard. Although he was right, Jeslyn

could feel there was more to it that Maverick and everyone else weren’t letting out.

“Are you… are you also new?” The guy shifted his glasses to balance well on his eyes.-

“Hmm,” Jeslyn answered with her head down.

“That’s nice. I’m a newbie. This is my first time attempting music. I hope you can put me through, senior.” He smiled cheerfully.

Jeslyn also smiled but said nothing and continued her work.

A while later, a girl dressed in a ruffian style with tattoos on her body walked into the class like a bu lly. She swept her gaze through the hall and let her gaze linger on Jeslyn who was typing away on her

laptop for a while before she blew her bubble gum and made a loud sound while popping it.

The sound drew Jeslyn’s attention to the lady. She accessed her for a while before lowering her gaze. The lady reminded her of the Queen in prison.

Thinking of that n ut case, Jeslyn involuntarily shuddered. She looked up at the lady who was walking to the back seat and furrowed her brows. This lady being in this class, hope she doesn’t have the same preferences as the Queen? And hope she won’t be as troublesome as her appearance?’

The lady abruptly stopped and turned to return Jeslyn’s stare. “Do you like me?”

Jeslyn’s eyes widened in alarm and she hurriedly turned her gaze away but not the lady…. Another g ay!

She changed her direction and walked to sit on the other side of Jeslyn, trapping Jeslyn in the middle between Rubenstein and herself.

“I’m Lola.” She stretched her hand for a handshake.

Jeslyn raised her gaze with determination. What the Queen did to her in prison almost traumatized her. “Rossa.”

“Hmm… just as gorgeous as your name. I’ll call you Rose. Hope we become friends in the future.” She licked her lower lip, revealing the piercing on her tongue. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

It didn’t sit well with Jeslyn. Nothing the lady did or said appeared good to her so she shook her head. “I don’t think we can be friends.” She decided now was the best time to set boundaries.

“Oh? You already seem to ha te me.” The girl raised a brow.

“Don’t get me wrong…”

“Is it because of how I dress or my looks?” She frowned.

“Listen, let me…”

“What’s wrong with how I choose to appear in public? Why are you people so judgemental? You can choose how you appear but I can’t? Why don’t you all just leave the planet if you can’t unsee people like us?!”

Jeslyn had had enough and wasn’t liking where this was going. She slapped the desk and stood up. “What are you?” Her bunny persona suddenly flew out the window. “Does your appearance feed me in any way? Who do you think you are to have my judgment? So what if you look like a clown? Are you the first to look this way nor will you be the last? Why do you think you are so important that everyone around the globe will care about your existence? You were already judging yourself before I did and you came to a conclusion with the help of what others think about you, not what I think about you.” She took a step to get closer to Lola.
