Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A lively song came from somewhere. Someone was calling Jocelyn.
Jocelyn glared at Aren and quickly took out her phone. “I need to take this call. Don’t make a sound!”
With an unnegotiable look in his eyes, Aren pressed Jocelyn’s hand down and warned in a low voice, “If you want me to keep quiet, you have to put the phone on speaker!”
“You are unreasonable!” Jocelyn whispered angrily.
Aren continued to restrain the woman’s slender wrist, and his gaze was cold. “It’s up to you whether to accept it or not!”
“Alright, I’ll put it on speaker!” She was speechless. The moment the call went through, Jocelyn put the phone on speaker.
The moment the call was picked up, a sharp voice sounded from the phone. “Where are you? Jocelyn, you b*tch, how dare you offend Young Master Aren! You must beg him to forgive you, or you’ll be dead when you come back! You b*tch…” The girl on the phone was talking at the top of her lungs. Her voice was hoarse and unpleasant like a rooster, but based on the tone of her voice, one could still tell that she was Maria.
After confirming that it was Maria, he immediately hung it up. “Is that how she normally treats you?”
A trace of anger appeared in Aren’s eyes, and the cold expression on his face was even colder than before. He frowned and looked at Jocelyn, who was used to it.
He could tell from the way her father talked to her today that she had a low status in the family. However, he did not expect that even her stepsister was rude to her. He couldn’t imagine what sort of life Jocelyn was having in that family.
What surprised Aren even more was that Maria, who behaved gentle and ladylike, was actually like a shrew in private. She was ruthless and vicious.
Aren felt a trace of inexplicable emotion in his heart, making him blurted out without thinking, “Let’s cooperate!”
“What? Cooperation?” Jocelyn was a little surprised. She did not know what he meant by cooperation, and she did not know why he wanted to cooperate.
“I think you can guess one thing or two from what my grandma said, right? I need a wife… at least on paper.” Aaron looked at Jocelyn fixedly, and a rare serious expression appeared on his face. “Let’s enter a three-year contract marriage.”
“What? A contract marriage?”
When Jocelyn heard this, she was dumbfounded. Due to the shock, she stood rooted to the ground, seemingly deep in thought.
As the daughter of her family, she had always been running back and forth between school and home. She had never heard of the so-called “contract marriage” and did not know what it was.
“Miss Jocelyn, let me introduce myself to you.”
The expression of the man in front of her did not change, but for some reason, he gave off a sharp aura. “I’m from the Brown family. You can call me Aren.”
Although Jocelyn had long known the identity of the man from her father, she was still in a daze. She couldn’t quite put the man, who brutally violated her several times, together with the noble Mr. Brown.
It was too surreal.
Aren continued to tell her his plan in detail with a firm expression on his face. “I believe you know that people of our status need marriage to shut everyone up, and you happen to be in trouble, right? Don’t you want to leave that place where you have absolutely no freedom?”
The entire room was extremely quiet, and only Young Master Aren’s voice could be heard.
While thinking about what Aren said, her heart was beating fast.
“This is a contract marriage. In the next three years, I’ll help you leave your family. I can even give you some money to develop your career so that you won’t have to tolerate these people in your family.”
“And the only thing you need to do is help me have a child in the three-year marriage and promise not to do anything that will sully your title as Mrs. Brown.”
“When the three years are up, you can marry anyone you like!”
