Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 108

108 Joan in trouble

"Miss Youan is right. Ma'am, let's see how much you have in your account!" D

Blue glared at the lady who said that and she immediately shrank her neck, but she had already put the idea on people's minds,

"We all don't need to see it. The manager and Youan are enough." Another fan added.

"Yes, go on, show us the figures in your account!" Almost everyone in the crowd screamed.

Jeslyn looked at everyone speechlessly. Youan was smiling and the manager was almost sweating buckets.

"I will..." Jeslyn paused to look at every one. "On the condition that Your celebrity will show us her account first."

"Th-that's not-"

"Your celebrity is scared. She doesn't have the money yet, she raised the bid so high. Now that I allowed her to go with the clothes, she's suddenly suspecting me of not having money. I agree that I don't have money which is why I couldn't bid higher."

Everyone stayed silent while some nodded. She was right. They turned to stare at Youan, waiting for her to stop making excuses.

"You are a manipulator! She-" Youan was cut off immediately as Jeslyn continued:

"I don't care about you, Miss. I have wasted too much time debating irrelevant words with you. I'm leaving now. However, it seems you cannot pay for all the clothes." Jeslyn picked out the most beautiful clothes she had her eyes on and passed them to the manager.

"I'll take these three and pay. Deduct the money from her bill." Jeslyn smiled.

The manager was lost. He didn't understand nor know how to react to this madness.

"Oh, before I forget. Your salesperson said there's a 30% discount for every cloth bought, so you said the clothes are 2500-3000 dollars. What price are these? Add them and remove 30% promo each."

"Wh- what are you talking about?" The manager looked confusingly at Jeslyn.

"Oh, your salesperson said there's a 30% discount for every sale."

"What?! Youan!!" (2

"Manager, I..."

"You are fired! Don't let me see you anywhere close to this place or you'll be sorry."

Jeslyn looked shocked. "Manager, hope you aren't firing her because of what I said?" It felt like she

was regretting her actions. Meanwhile, in her heart, she was laughing.

"No, ma'am. She went against the protocol. We aren't giving customers a discount."

"Ok," Jeslyn shifted her gaze to Joan and shook her head. "That was bad on your end. How did you intend to return the money to the company? Why would you even think of harming the company so? What motivated you?" Although Jeslyn sounded naive, her meaning was clear as day. She was

implying that Youan made her do it because Joan was crazy about her.

"What are you saying, my Miss didn't -" Youan's assistant wanted to come to her Young Miss' aid but Jeslyn wouldn't give her the chance.

"Don't get me wrong young lady. I haven't accused your Young Miss, but if you feel I'm telling the truth, then..." Jeslyn glanced at the manager whose face had turned unsightly.

"Manager, it's not what you think, I'm, I was-" Joan tried to defend herself but was cut off by the manager.

"Security! Throw her out!" The security men rushed in and grabbed Joan who was pleading with everything she had got but the manager was too furious to care.

"If after investigation, it was found that you have been stealing from the company, then be ready to rot in prison... don't think you can escape because you'll be watched day and night until this case is over. Throw her out!"

After Joan was dragged away, the manager turned to Youan. "Miss, do you agree for her to take out some clothes?" He didn't sound happy and if anything, he wanted Youan out of the store. Youan knew that she had failed. There was no need to continue the drama anymore and secondly, she doesn't have 100,000 dollars to pay.

"I never had a problem with her buying clothes," Youan responded ambiguously.

"Then, ma'am will pay the money to you and you'll pay the $100,000 to the company."

"Ma'am, please, your card." The saleslady that was driven away by Joan returned and half-bowed to Jeslyn.

Just when Jeslyn was about to hand out Pink's card, Rex walked into the store.

"Sisters-in-law, you forgot your card."

Everyone, including Youan, shifted their gaze to the intruder.

'So handsome!' Youan internally screamed.

"Brother asked that I bring it to you." His smile almost gave Youan a heart attack. His light blue hair, brown eyes, thick brow, and sexy pink lips were so attractive that she wanted to just grab him and ask him to spend a few nights with her.

Jeslyn looked behind him. "Where is he?"

"He's waiting for you in the car. He felt you were taking too long and assumed your card must have been the problem...Why are these people gathered? Was there a drama?"

"Not at all. It was a little misunderstanding. It has been resolved. Manager, here's my... card." Word got stuck in Jeslyn's throat when she saw the black card.

The manager was worse. He received the card with shaky hands like it was the last egg in the world.

On the black card was written: "unlimited, world elite, and Royal bank."

Seeing this card and what was written on it, the manager immediately knew that these people were from country M.

2/3

Only people from country M could afford the Royal bank's black card, let alone the ones marked 'unlimited.'

The unlimited card means that the spender does not have a limit to the amount that they can spend in a day. The minimum amount that the card accepts is $1 million with no maximum amount. Except the bank manager is called, no one can check the balance on the cards, unless they receive an alert for what they spent. Which was why the manager was not able to see the balance ever when he wanted to.

Youan and those who thought that Jeslyn was poor were so ashamed that they almost could breathe from the Sh ame that was choking them, especially Youan.

"Ma-ma'am, yo-your pin." The manager stuttered.

Jeslyn stared at Rex.

"Hahaha... my sister-in-law has forgotten her pin again. I keep reminding you that it's your wedding date... a day before your birthday
