Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Christine started searching for Assistant Miles and her Manager. None of them were in sight. How could they not be here? The crews were nowhere in sight too. Did these people gang up on her?

What about her sister, Emilee, and her boyfriend, Young Master Wu? Aren’t they watching this? Can’t they see what is going on? Why aren’t they helping her?

What is happening??!!! Her mind almost exploded due to panic. She wanted to leave but there were security men on the stage preventing anyone from leaving.

When, how, and why they came, only God knew.

"As you all know, I’m VJ Cute but I have another identity." VJ Cute’s voice suddenly broke through the silence.

"Another identity?" Some people asked in wonderment. Christine wasn’t an exception to the confusion.

VJ Cute slowly took off her veil and everyone screamed.

"Jeslyn??!"

"She’s Jeslyn!"

"What is going on?!"

’This is getting more confusing.’

Both online and offline were on fire. It was so hot because everyone knew the fight between both sisters, so why would Jeslyn become Christine’s voice artist?

Christine almost fainted when she saw Jeslyn’s face. She wasn’t dead?! How?

After her initial shock, her mind instantly calculated and she realized that she was being played.

"How dare you!!" She lurched forward but before she could touch Jeslyn, a security guard ran forward and grabbed her, holding her in place.

"You deceived me! It was your plan all along! I’ll kill you, Jeslyn!!" Christine kept screaming like a mad woman. She wanted to cause as much trouble as she could so that Jeslyn wouldn’t be able to carry out her plans but unfortunately for Christine, Jeslyn didn’t endure a life-and-death incident just to let today go to waste.

"Everyone, I’m very sorry for deceiving you all and making you believe that VJ Cute was actually Christine.

"Honestly, I wanted to cry out before now but... sniff... sniff." Jeslyn sniffed back the tears. She was already looking broken and forced so there was absolutely nothing Jeslyn would say in this state she was in that people would doubt.

"A lot of you know what happened to Christine and me after my grandfather died. I was jailed for something I didn’t do. A friend of mine sent his lawyer to help me out. After I got out, I had nowhere else to go because my property was transferred..." She burst into tears and fell to her knees.

The way Jeslyn was crying felt as if the whole world had wronged her. She looked exceptionally fragile and vulnerable.

The audience, both those watching from their devices and those in the venue couldn’t help feeling tears welling up in their eyes.

"M– my properties, both the ones from my mother and grandfather, were taken away from me while I was in jail. Th– they threatened to ruin my grandfather’s reputation if I didn’t sign away my property, so I did out of fear and respect for my dear grandfather." She wiped her tears and tried

"When I came out, I had no idea that Christine was coming towards me because I was already in the car. So I had no idea that she tried to open the car door.

"When I saw in the news that I was labeled as a killer and other bad names, I knew that I couldn’t stay at Rose City anymore so when my friend told me to come with him to Country M, I did just that.

"Everyone I knew, except Emma Watson and Ava Adams deserted me. Delly Entertainment abandoned me and my Manager left me too.

"I was devastated for some time before I told my lawyer friend that I wanted to make myself useful. So when I came across Teacher Celestine’s post to sign three singers, I loaned money from my friend and joined the class.

"When I finished, I was excited, thinking I would be able to pay my friend. Then I went for an audition at Fearless Entertainment but...." Jeslyn started crying again.

As she told the heart–wrenching story, people were crying. Those who accused Jeslyn or hated her because of the truth they didn’t know started to feel bad...

"I was abducted from Fearless Audition and sent to Sparkle Entertainment and forced with a contract to become Christine’s voice artist." She looked at everyone and asked with a broken voice.

"I– if, if you were in my shoes, wo– would you have refused? I– I was scared of being killed. I have gone through a lot in prison and saw lots of bad things. I was scared!"

Some people who were still able to hold themselves as they listened to the painful story shook their heads.

"Liar!! She is lying–!" Christine cried out. A security guard stuffed a handkerchief in her mouth. That was when the audience was reminded that Christine was still there.

"Shut your mouth, you devil!!" Someone yelled and threw his shoe onto the stage. He intended to hit Christine but unfortunately, his aim was bad.

Jeslyn continued after the disturbance had been taken care of.

"They also said, I would suffer again if I refused. I didn’t dare to go against them, so I agreed to their terms because I didn’t want to go to prison again. I might not be so lucky to be rescued for a second time." She sniffed.

"That was how I became Christine’s voice artist. When my teacher found out that I’d become a voice artist for Christine, she was very angry. She wanted to sanction me. Left with no other choice, I came out again as Jeslyn but Christine was still not satisfied..."

"Why are you just coming out now? You have gotten yourself a big fanbase that is bigger than Christine’s. Why didn’t you come out to say all these? Why did you choose this time to embarrass your sister? Is it because she was adopted? Is that why you and your parents treated her badly?"

"That’s right! If Christine wasn’t going through hell in your parent’s house, she wouldn’t have become a bitter person. They say, evil begets evil. Christine hates you because you were never nice to her!"
