THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 21 – 30
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 29
Emilee placed down her cutlery and dabbled a handkerchief on her lips before speaking: “Protecting her secret is your duty. Giving you what you want is her responsibility. However, I wouldn’t want to hear sad stories coming from your side.” She paused and raised her eyes to look into his deep black ones.
The young man sighed after a while of silence before speaking. “I only deal with virgins. Is she?”
Emilee looked at Christine who wasn’t paying attention to their conversation. “Yes, she is,” Emilee replied on her behalf.
“Then that’s good.” The young man replied with his eyes on Christine. “Although that is so,” he paused. “The secret is still too much to be hidden. Your sister is not talented, she can’t sing and can’t write her own music, yet, She’s a B– lister. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You’ll need more than being a virgin to make things work.” He slowly placed his hand on Christine’s lap and rubbed it gently.
Christine flinched and bolted up. She gritted her teeth and tried to suppress the words that were about to spill out of her mouth. After riling in her emotion, she said calmly: “Sister, I’d like to use the restroom.”
“Mn,” Emilee responded and watched her hurry out.
After she left, Emilee picked up a glass of wine and threw it at the Young Master’s face. “Do you think I can’t kill you?”
The Young Master froze after the drink got on him but later, he smiled and picked out a few servet papers to wipe his face. “You know you can’t kill me even though you want to,” he replied. Then his face turned serious. “I have the organization backing me and I’m also the Young Master of the Wu family. You don’t expect me to respect you when you don’t deserve it, do you?” He raised a brow.
Emilee gritted her teeth and balled her hand. This is why she desperately needs to collaborate with Maverick. Even though she’s the leader of the Yu family, no one respects her from the outside. Some minions see her as the boss but those that matter in the family don’t. If it wasn’t because of the ATOM she injected Damien, they would have long killed her.
Although, she said that she has the antidote, it was a pure lie. She only has half the method of preparing the antidote but can’t make it or give full detail on how it is made.
She knows she is in grave danger, and that’s why she is using Christine. She planned to have this Young Master who is obsessed with virgins to fall in love with Christine. The Wu family is the fourth richest and most powerful family in Country M. Also, they have a high position in the Dark Age organization. If she could gain their support through Christine, it would be of great benefit to her.
Ever since she took office, she had been making peace with all the powerful people Damien offended. Her reason for doing so is to have her own power, connection, and influence. If things go as planned, nothing, including Ruben, would be a threat to her.
She calmly looked at the Young Master and asked: “What else do you want?”
The Young Master smiled. “I want–”
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 21 – 30
Christine barged into the restroom with her eyes stinging with tears. She knew that her relationship with her sister wasn’t the best but she never expected her sister to treat her like this.
How could her sister do this to her? If her own blood sister uses her for a deal, what is she supposed to do with her heart? She loves Maverick and Emilee knows that, so why is she forcing her into someone else’s bed? Why can’t she use her power to get her into Maverick’s bed? Why?!!
She raised her head and looked at the reflection of her teary face in the mirror. Not liking what she was seeing, she swept the soap on the washing basin away in fury. The soap rolled towards the restroom door and stopped when the door was pushed open.
Jeslyn walked in and entered a cubicle.
Christine didn’t notice because she had her head down while silently crying. A while later, she stopped crying and started washing her face. That was when she heard the cubicle door making a cracking sound.
Thinking it was her sister, she immediately turned around and instantly froze when she saw who it was.
“Jes– Jeslyn?”
Jeslyn wasn’t wearing her glasses but her mask was still on. Seeing Christine, she was also taken aback but was quick enough to compose herself and slowly raise her hand to take off the mask. She curled her beautiful sexy nude lips into a small smile. “Yes… sister?” She called the word ‘sister’ with mockery.
With that, Christine immediately knew that Jeslyn still hates her. She got over her shock and asked with envy and hatred in her tone. “What are you doing here… in Country M?”
As if she didn’t know.
Jeslyn continued to look at her without speaking. She couldn’t believe her nemesis was here, standing right in front of her. What is the best way to start her revenge? Kill her in one go? No, that’s too good. She already has something planned out for her. Beat her up? That’s not lady–like.
“Oh, I think I know. Your ‘husband’ is allegedly, Mr. Maverick.” She air quoted the word ‘husband’, then laughed. “Did you become Mr. Maverick’s toy after running away from us? Jeslyn, aren’t you ashamed? You won the case, why didn’t you come back home? Instead, you ran after an unknown man. Is the money he pays to sleep with you that enticing, that you’d lose your integrity for it? How much does he pay you as his s3x toy?” Christine crossed her hands on her chest and rested her weight on the sink. She wanted to mock Jeslyn and rile her up. She was in a bad mood already, so using Jeslyn to dispense her anger would be excellent. So she thought.
Jeslyn sighed helplessly. These people. They know how to seek death. They walk to her with their own feet and then use their mouths to beg for death. Such an amazing family she has got.
“More than enough to buy your worthless life.” Jeslyn’s voice sounded and she smiled. “Christine…” she shook her head. “That identity was given to you by my mother, so you have to change it. All your certificates, the knowledge you have, and everything you own, including your glowing skin, were given by my mother, so you are going to return everything when I finally have your time. However, for now…” she patted Christine’s face. “I’m lending them to you. When I come for them, it will seem like a dream.” She smiled, washed her hands, cleaned her wet hands on Christine’s expensive white gown, turned around, and walked out. Leaving Christine in a daze.
Christine lost her breath for a long time. She stood there frozen like a chicken. Soon, she gasped from holding her breath for too long. That was scary! Jeslyn gave her the feeling of a grim reaper and the way she said those threats, it didn’t seem like she was joking at all. Christine felt a chill run down her spine. Even her arms were producing goosebumps.
“Jeslyn is different now.” She mumbled to herself. She has to talk to her sister about this as soon as possible!

The next day, Jeslyn bought flowers and went to the hospital to visit her generous mother-in-law.
The hospital was very large and beautiful. They said it was one of the Xu family’s establishments, making Jeslyn wonder whether the three families were competing to own the same thing.
Maverick has a hospital, the Yu family has a hospital, and also the Xu family.
Jeslyn entered the hospital with some guards. One of the guards walked to the counter and asked for the ward Madam Caroline was in. Getting his answer, he returned and told Jeslyn.
Jeslyn took the elevator and got to the ward in no time.
Of course, it was a VIP room on the topmost floor. There were guards stationed outside the door. However, when Madam Caroline’s guards saw that the people coming were Maverick’s guards and a woman they didn’t know, one of them immediately went in to inform Madam Caroline.
Soon, he came back out and allowed them in.
The room didn’t disappoint the exterior of the hospital. It was a sight to behold. Jeslyn placed the flowers inside a flower vase sitting close to the window before she went over to sit gracefully on a sofa with her legs crossed.
She slowly removed her mask and beamed at the woman staring at her.
“You… What are you doing here?” Madam Caroline narrowed her eyes.
“Gracious mother-in-law, this daughter-in-law is here to thank you for your generosity.”
“What do you mean?” She knitted her brows.
“Oh, you’ve done a lot of good deeds that you don’t know which one I’m thanking you for.” Jeslyn nodded. “It’s understandable.” She said sarcastically.
“Young Lady, if you won’t state your reason for coming here, you better get out.” She said calmly in a dignified manner.
Jeslyn chuckled, “mother-in-law, don’t be too irritated because I haven’t started yet.” She uncrossed her legs and leaned forward. “Mother-in-law transferred $5 billion into my account for compensation. However–”
“What?!” Madam Caroline bolted up from bed with eyes widened. “Wh– what are you talking about?!”
“Aww, please stoooop, hehe.” She waved her palm cutely while chuckling. She was no different from a teenager who was being teased by her crush. “You don’t have to be shy. I deserve it. Also, no one is here to think you are kind–hearted, so, it’s fine, fine.” Jeslyn said happily.
“What is the meaning of this? Cut to the chase!” Her aura flared. Madam Caroline was indeed a woman that shouldn’t be trifled with. Good thing Jeslyn came here with guards, else, she would have been killed here.
Jeslyn stopped playing around and became serious. “Because you paid me a compensation fee doesn’t mean I have forgiven you for what you did to Valen and me. Even though you hate me, Valen is still your grandson, yet you almost killed him.” She paused to think. “By the way, why would you hate me to begin with? We haven’t met before, I don’t even know you, so why would you be after my life?”
“What did he tell you?”
“You want me to refresh your mind? Come on, it just happened yesterday. Thanks to you and Vera, Valen almost died and I was almost turned into a roasted chicken!”
“Is that all he told you? Hahahaha…then it means my son still has goodness for me at heart. He still sees me as his mother. So let me tell you this. Young Lady, that’s not the only things I have done to you, but let’s leave that for next time. I don’t like you for my son, nor my grandson’s stepmother. You are not fit to be Renren’s wife. Send the money he transferred to you back into my account and divorce him quietly. I’m giving you this warning because there won’t be a next time.”
Jeslyn sighed. Like the woman said, she set aside the fact that she said this wasn’t the first time she made an attempt on her life. “Madam Caroline, to be a mother or to lay claim to a child, you have to at least fulfill the duties of a mother. Isn’t it? We agree that you birthed my husband and breastfed him for six months or three months, whatever it was. But what else did you do after that?
A mother is supposed to breastfeed their children for at least 1 year and 6 months to 2 years or more. However, you pride yourself on 6 months of breastfeeding. From the day your children were born, you abandoned them to nannies. You neglected your children at such a tender age without caring if they fell sick or not. You cared not if they bathed, slept well, cried too much, or not. And you still have the guts to call yourself a mother?
Madam Caroline, should I remind you what you did to poor Rex? I’m sure you don’t want to hear that, so let’s not dive in because I’m totally disgusted on your behalf and you should be ashamed of yourself.”
“How dare you!!” Madam Caroline bellowed. Immediately, Jeslyn followed up.
“No, how dare you!!” Jeslyn got up and walked towards her on the bed. “Madam Caroline, how dare you get involved in our lives? What gave you the effrontery to think you deserve to bask in their glory? What makes you think you are worthy to claim the role of their parent all of a sudden? You died in their hearts 22 years ago after you threw away the role of a mother to the dogs. So, don’t think about coming back. You no longer have a place in their lives…” She enuciated.
