16 Newsflash- The blackmail.
“Who was it?”
The tone of the voice was far from what Christine knew. Her heart jumped and she trefnbled at those words due to fear, but she
hurriedly composed herself. She was able to tell Jeslyn all that because she was in handcuffs and also, Jeslyn was never known
to be violent, so she calmed her heart down and
asked.
“W-Who was what?” Although she looked like she composed herself, those demonic eyes that were staring at her didn’t allow
her confidence to return.
“Who is the young Miss?”
She was surprised at the news of betrayal from her father and she knows that she needs to punish him, but that can only happen
after she leaves jail. So, finding out who the young Miss was could be her starting point.
Christine’s eyes widened but she quickly pretended like she wasn’t surprised, however, that flitting change didn’t escape Jeslyn’s
eyes.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“She was at my wedding, was she not?”
Jeslyn watched as a glint flashed through Christine’s eyes and knew that she was right. So the young Miss sent her those videos
just so she could call off the wedding and hasten her grandfather’s reaction to the poison, but why? Was the cure to the poison
found? Or is there another reason why the young Miss did that?
“Well, it seems that you already know of the young Miss’ existence. Then the rest of the job will be easy now.” She wasn’t crazy
enough to tell Jeslyn who the young Miss was, so she changed the topic.
Jeslyn stared at her and watched as she pulled out her phone and made a call. “Let them in.”
After she put her phone away, Jeslyn asked: “What else do you want? Are your schemes so deep that you’ll take the whole
day?”
Jeslyn wasn’t feeling well anymore. She wanted to leave this place so badly. For a long time now, there has been a fishy taste in
her throat that she had been suppressing, but it seems the blood will soon be gushing out as her anger had reached the
maximum she could bear.
“No, the scheme for you is just starting.”
The iron door cracked open and two men walked in. She recognized the man in the front as he is their family lawyer, but the
other is someone she doesn’t know.
“Lawyer An, why are you-” she stopped asking as it dawned on her that they were the people Christine just called.
“Miss Jeslyn, Young Miss Christine.” The lawyers took turns to greet the two ladies.
“Have a seat.” Christine gestured to the empty seats while Jeslyn watched them with little understanding of what was about to
happen.
After the two men sat down, lawyer An brought out two files and placed them on the table.
“Miss Jeslyn, as you know, I’m your mother, Ms. Alice Lee, and your grandfather, Mr. Lee’s lawyer, and their wills are stored in
my possession.
Before
your mother died, she made it clear that you must not be given a dime unless you get married on the day you clock 26, and also
if you refused to get married, all her properties should be distributed to the orphanage the next day.
Now, I don’t know why she made such a condition, but the fortunate thing was that you fulfilled her condition and now, her
properties can be fully transferred to you. The only thing that you need to do is to put your signature on the documents.” He
pushed a black file to her with a pen.
Jeslyn glanced at the file and then at the lawyer without uttering a word.
“Ahem. There is this one too, your grandfather’s will in which he also transferred all his assets to you with a condition that you
get married before it is handed over to you, though there was no expiring date. However, since you have fulfilled the condition,
you can sign them.”
“Pfft... puff”
Jeslyn tried to snicker but spat out blood in the process.
They all looked down at the documents she puked blood on and Christine’s rage became visible. “You-” Her remaining words
died down in her throat at the stare she got from Jeslyn. That stare was no longer just cold but filled with viciousness and evil.
“Miss Jeslyn, please, sign them.” Lawyer An urged her.
you up
“To think my family trusted you. My grandfather made you into the lawyer you are today. He picked
from the slum and sent you to school. He ‘bought’ you a wife as no one was willing to marry a pauper like you. He did everything
for you until you became the best lawyer in Rose City. However, you couldn’t wait to bite him back. Karma will locate you and be
sure that as long as I live, you and everyone involved in the downfall of my family shall pay!”
“Enough of your threats, Jeslyn. You should find a way to get out first before you think of revenge, now sign them!” Christine
yelled in frustration. Why was she even made to do this?
Jeslyn grabbed one of the files and held it from the middle. She was about to rip the files apart when the lawyer that came with
lawyer An raised his phone to her.
“Do not do that, ma’am.”
Once he said that he clicked the play button and a lady’s chuckle was heard before her voice. “Jeslyn, I knew you’d put up a
resistance. I already did so much, so why do you think I won’t have other things in store to force you to sign them? Let her see
the prepared articles that will be Published in the next five minutes if she still refuses to sign them.” The lady’s voice sounded
sophisticated and calm like she was a big shot.
Jeslyn tried to remember if she had ever heard that voice but she couldn’t remember anything.
She was so engrossed in her attempt to catch the owner of the voice that she didn’t see the joy on Christine’s face when the
person was talking.
After the call ended, the lawyer scrolled through his phone and stretched his phone to Jeslyn who
collected it with both hands to read the articles.
