Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 221

221 The audition- Valen’s kindness 

“Ah, why do you still need to carry out a blind audition?” Mark asked. 1 

The judges also couldn’t understand why she’d say that. 

“The audience had already seen me enter and they heard and saw me open my mouth to sing before you interrupted the show. If the show is not continued, don’t you know that Fearless Entertainment. will be dragged on the internet and their reputation will be dented? Moreover, millions of people already knew that was one of V.J cute’s voicesand they are waiting patiently to hear me sing” 

“You made sense. However, what happens when you pass the audition?” 

“That can be further discussed. But for now, let me round this up.” With that said, the technicians put things back in place and the live show returned. 

Meanwhile, the online community was already going crazy. 

‘What just happened?‘ 

‘Don’t tell me VJ cute has been disqualified before she even began‘ 

“That can’t be possible. It might have been a power outage or technical malfunction.’ 

‘I might have agreed with you there if I hadn’t seen the evil side of those agencies. They might want to kill her carcer before she even began. That’s how jealous some of those celebrities can be 

‘You are spot on! We mustn’t allow such things to happen to our VJ cute! The music industry had become a home for untalented artists to thrive while the talented are buried under piles of schemes. We must stand for VJ cute!‘ 

‘Stand for VJ cute!‘ 

“They have returned! 

‘Light is back on, but where is VJ cute? She was there some minutes ago. 

The judges sighed when they saw the comments. “We should hurry up before things get complicated,” one of them said. 

One of the organizers held a microphone to address the audience. He laughed awkwardly before saying: “Ladies and gentlemen, please pardon us for the slight interruption. Our debut singer had no idea she was live on TV, which was why the minute she saw herself on the screen, she panicked. That was why we had to stop the performance to get things right. 

For some personal reasons, our singer wants to sing behind the walls. Meaning, you can only hear her voice but won’t see her. Please, let’s support her and help her grow to overcome her plight. Thank you all.” The man bowed to the angry audience after his speech. 

That’s a relief 

I was about typing to boycott Fearless Entertainment. Good thing they spoke up in time. 

Me too. I thought they deprived me of the privilege to hear good music, so I was also about to type 

that too! 

Soon, Jeslyn started to sing and everyone quieted down. 

The voice she used was the same four voices she used on her uploaded video and the song was the same as the one she sang for Valen at the hospital.

I have seen how bright the lights can be, 

I have tasted how sweet candies can be, 

I have traveled all around and seen a lot of beautiful places, but none, none, is as beautiful as you! 

I was told love is real, 

I was told love surpasses love 

I was told that I’ll find love… 

I used to think that I found love 

I used to think that love ended with your dad, 

But no, 

No, no, no… you are love 

Valen, you are love 

I love you so much 

Welcome back 

And I thank you for coming back to me… 

For coming back to me… 

To me….. to me. 

I have traveled around the world, and I’ve seen so many places, 

They’re beautiful and nice, but I tell you’re the best thing for me… 

For me eeeh… 

Oh V, you’re just the only one I see, 

Cause you own my 

heart 

And I’m not regretting it, baby 

I love you…

Singing the complete version of the song with a soft, calm, and emotional voice, the people couldn’t. help but get tears in their eyes. Most of them thought it was her love song. 

Valen, who was watching from home, couldn’t help smiling broadly. Her debut song was written for him which means he was more special and important to her than his father. 

“Impressive, mum.” He genuinely praised her as he took a sip of his fruity mocktail from a straw in a 

lazy manner. 

Today was Saturday, so he didn’t go to school and decided to sit and watch his mother’s excellent performance from the large TV on the wall in the sitting room. 

Behind him were three guards standing at ease while maids also stood around in case he needed anything. 

Valen was being treated like a royal Crown Prince because Jeslyn had ordered that he mustn’t be allowed to roam around for fear that what happened the other time might repeat itself. None of the parents are home, so it would be bad for Valen if their enemies suddenly brings a fight to the house. 

“What do you think about my mother’s performance?” He turned his head to the side and rested his gaze on a maid who had her head bowed. 

The maid raised her head and smiled faintly. “Madam did a great job.” 

“What do you think my mother needs to improve on?” He asked her again. 

“Madam doesn’t need much improvement right now, but as she becomes accustomed to the industry she might want to make some changes that only she knows.” 

Valen nodded. “You are very intelligent.” 

Of course, all of Maverick’s people are intelligent. 

“Uncle Xuan.” 

“Yes, Little Master,” the butler hurried over and bent forward in a respectful manner in front of Valen. 

“Double her salary for this month.” 2 

The butler was taken aback before glancing at the shocked maid, then responded, yes Little Master. The servants and guards, including butler Xuan, were shocked not because it is uncommon to increase their salaries. Their salaries were already too high to need an increment. However, what they were shocked about was because, Valen of all people was increasing a worker’s salary instead of decreasing or forfeiting it. 

Little Young Master must really be in a good mood. They thought.
