Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 325

325 Exposed (2)

‘You guys are so hateful! Why can’t y’all leave Christine alone? How could you accuse her like that? We agree that her music went off while she was singing and so, her vocals were heard but still, can’t you guys Just give her the benefit of the doubt? What if she got a sore throat or something?!”

‘I agree!”

‘+500‘

From the comment section, it was obvious that those who commented first were Christine’s haters and those who came later on to defend her were her fans.

The comment section tore in three. One part for Christine’s fans, one part for Jeslyn’s fans who were undoubtedly Christine’s haters, and the last part for bystanders who refused to be manipulated by both parties and wanted to make their own decision after hearing Christine’s voice again.

The same thing was being thought about by the audience as they sat on their seats with half their minds thinking that Christine wasn’t VJ Cute while the other half was telling them that Christine wasn’t feeling well, after all, she wasn’t looking too good on the stage either.

The fans all stood up and started waving their light bombs to encourage and support her. Some raised their placards while others shielded their mouths and started singing the song loudly.

Seeing the great support from her fans, a normal person would burst into tears of gratitude, but Christine wasn’t such a person. Indeed she was crying but it was tears of hatred!

She hated the fact that VJ Cute was the one being praised and not her. She hated that she was nothing in front of VJ Cute. Just now, her voice was heard but everyone had disappointed and angry looks on their faces, but now, they seem very happy while chanting VJ Cute’s name like she was their ancestor!

While Christine was thinking that, her Manager immediately ran backstage. If VJ Cute was someone he could beat, he would have done so immediately but she’s not to be messed with.

“What do you think you’re doing? Do you want to expose us?!” he thundered.

“Manager Richard, what are you talking about?” VJ Cute asked meekly, startling Richard.

What is wrong with this lady? He thought. VJ Cute has never spoken to him with a weak voice before. Every time, they were either fighting or avoiding each other. Why was VJ Cute acting like he was bullying her?

Even though Manager Richard wasn’t sure of what was happening, he never thought VJ Cute was planning anything harmful because, first of all, she was under a contract. Secondly, she was given some shares. Thirdly, she wouldn’t want to offend Young Master Wu, nor would she dare to harm Christine’s reputation considering who Christine’s sister was.

With all of that in mind, Manager Richard shifted VJ Cute’s new persona to the back of his mind and started to question her.

“Why did you go off? Do you intend to expose Christine? You were paid to do this, so you should!” he yelled.

“I- I’m… I’m so sorry, Manager Richard. I… I know that you need my voice for the All–time best

Manager Award. I didn’t mean to interrupt the song, I… I was feeling stomach cramps. I… I told Christine before now but she still forced me here. You know…” she lowered her voice and continued, “I’m a woman.”

Manager Richard continued to stare foolishly at VJ Cute. He couldn’t believe that the young arrogant and saucy lady could be this soft–spoken and nice. Remembering what she said that she was a

woman and was having stomach cramps, he understood it to be that she was on her period.

No wonder she’s this calm and peaceful! He thought.

With that conclusion in mind, he also tuned down his voice a little and said, “Don’t ruin the show. Finish it on time and leave.” With that said, he turned and walked out.

VJ Cute curled her lips into a sneer as she watched his back leave through the side door. A chuckle escaped her throat before she grabbed the mic to start singing.

She wasn’t wearing a nose mask but was wearing a skin mask, which was why nobody connected her to Jeslyn.

On the stage, the music started playing again and everyone quieted down. Just when Christine was about to hit a high note, the music stopped again.

Christine couldn’t stop abruptly as VJ Cute, so her voice became the last that everyone heard one more time. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

While everyone was in an uproar, VJ Cute’s ring was glowing red. It was the glowing of her ring that interrupted her singing the second time. The first time was her own doing but this time, she was

startled.

She thought the glowing ring would stop after a second or two but no!

Not only was the glow taking longer than usual, it was glowing so bright that it seeped through the curtains on the stage and overshadowed the light coming from the screen. 2

Not only that, the light coming from the flat screen went out completely, causing only the glow from Jeslyn’s ring to become the source of light for everyone. But the red light looked more sinister than

normal red lights.

The audience who were about to condemn Christine shifted their attention to the attention–grabbing light that had started to slowly fade away.

Even Christine was dazed at what she saw.

The event lasted for just ten seconds but it felt as if it happened for eternity.

After the glow disappeared, the light from the screen appeared again but the audience no longer cared about Christine and the stage. They all wanted to know what and who was behind the curtains.

“Someone is behind the curtains! Come out! Who is behind the curtains, come out!!” Someone cried out from below the stage.

In no time, almost everyone who was there for Christine wanted to see who was behind the curtains. Those online were typing furiously, they also wanted to know.

‘Someone should go in there and pull that person out! I’m sure the person is connected to what is

happening to VJ Cute:

‘My problem is, what is that glow? It looked beautifully evil.

‘It is evil because Christine is evil.‘
