223 The plan to gather fans
Jeslyn waved her index manicured finger. Clicking her tongue, and shaking her head, she rejected him outright: “Not a chance, CEO Wu. You are buying my voice and talent, and not my face.”
Dissapointment flashed through his orbs for a moment before he shook the thought off his mind. Looking at the lady in front of him, even though she looked elegant, classy, and cunny, he was pretty sure she was not a virgin. Whoever is backing her must have eaten the fruit a few times, so, he’s not interested.
“Mark, bring the contract,” he instructed.
“Don’t be in a haste, CEO Wu. I’d also like to make things clear before we sign any contracts. So, bring me a pen and paper. You would like to rewrite that contract.” She leaned back and rested her back on the chair with her eyes squinted.
CEO Wu was getting fed up with this lady but he couldn’t drive her out because he really needs her to get a taste of Christine’s sweet pot. Her bl*wjob was too good. Even though she was clumsy, he enjoyed every bit of it. Especially the shyness she was exuding. Christine will be fun to teach. He thought.
After Jeslyn signed the one–year contract with Sparkle Entertainment, she was supposed to stay away from other companies and only focus on practicing Christine’s debut song, but at this moment, Jeslyn was busy auditioning at Fearless Entertainment without a disguise.
After VI Cute was stolen from them, Fearless Entertainment continued their audition process and surprisingly, they didn’t fight for her.
The Company was ready to fight but the higher–ups didn’t allow it, so they had to tell the public that VJ Cute pulled out and was poached by Sparkle Entertainment.
The majority of the fans were elated. They felt that it was only right that VJ Cute was groomed by the big companies so that her talent won’t be wasted. Because of VJ Cute, Sparkle Entertainment soared higher and was almost about to tumble Velvet Entertainment even before VJ Cute made an official debut.
Sitting on a chair beside Lolita, in the waiting room with almost a hundred other singers waiting for their turns, Lolita couldn’t help looking confused. “Rossa, I don’t understand something. What is going on? Two days ago, you were supposed to audition as VJ Cute, right? So what am I hearing that VJ Cute has gone to Sparkle Entertainment, but you are here as Jeslyn? I can’t place my fingers on what you’re thinking”
Jeslyn glanced at her and said: “Just say, there’ll be a big drama coming up soon.”
“Hmm? Talk to me,” Lolita pressed on.
“Not here. I’ll tell you because I might need your help along the line. Meanwhile, it’s your turn. Just after she said that Lolita’s name was called after her name and number appeared on the screen that was placed on the door, where the judges were.
leslyn, who was wearing a faded blue Jean and a plain white top with a black face cap, looked arou
her and suddenly smiled. “The plan starts now!’ she said to herself and got up. She removed her face cap and dramatically shook her hair, drawing the other’s attention.
In a place filled with almost a hundred singers, there should be someone who has seen her pictures or heard about her controversial news when she was still a singer in Rose City. She wanted to spread the news that she was still alive and is back to the entertainment industry. However, the best way to do that as a ‘poor‘ and ‘helpless‘ girl, is to use the people to spread the rumor.
Jeslyn believes that with her reputation, she won’t be able to quickly get to where she wants to be before one year, and might not be able to gather fans and haters that would later become her true fans and help her destroy her enemies. So the best option for her is to start like this.
After she had drowned their attention, she stopped and started to park her hair when one of them asked in doubt.
“Is that not the singer who almost ran her sister, Christine over with a car in Rose City last year?” “You mean, that wicked girl… I think her name is Jeslyn?”
“Right! Wasn’t she said to be dead? Why is she here?”
“She must have faked her death to deceive the world. Now she’s here!”
“She thinks Country M will be her safe haven? I pity her. She’s going to be drowned by Christine’s fans soon.”
“Speaking of Christine, she hasn’t released a new song for months now and I read that she is in the country.”
“I heard insider news that before she came to Country M, she was attending singing lessons with voice coaches. Apparently, she was making preparations and going harder on herself to grow. Unlike some evil and jealous people who only cared about killing her sister out of hatred and jealousy.” The lady eyed Jeslyn.
“Christine is an icon that deserves respect from everyone and I’m very sure she’ll break records too. Ah, let me take a few pictures of the vixen and alert Christine’s fans that the evil sister has risen from the dead. Hahahaha…”
Most of the contestants mocking Jeslyn weren’t from Country M, so they weren’t used to evil. However, the contestants from Country M felt that merely killing a sister can’t be counted as anything. So they felt irritated that the others weren’t letting them sit in silence.
Jeslyn sat down amidst the taunting and gossip, looking like a quiet and innocent bunny. From the peripheral vision of her eyes, she spotted a few girls about to take photos of her, so she turned her face to them with a shocked look.
‘Perfect for my new image! She thought as she snickered in her mind.
Throughout their taunting and gossip, Jeslyn was trying to hide away by shrinking her neck and shifting on her seat like she was sitting on pins.
Soon, Lolita walked out and Jeslyn’s number was called.
“Contestant 50, Jeslyn Lee, head to the audition room!”

The readers' comments on the novel: Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Ch 170 And this woman is now acting all innocent like she only did minor things to them? The audacity!...
Ch 168 Matt seems to really not like her. But on another note, I forgot to mention a few chapters back that a cop (Fin) condoned the kidnapping, drugging, and would be rape of 18 year old Jeslyn and the murder of the waitress… 🤔...
Ch 166 Yeah, see. I’ve been wondering about cameras in the house since Mav’s little slide show for Jeslyn’s on Valen… But this camera seems different....
Ch 159 Celestine spoke for less than 5 minutes ans class was over… wow....
Ch 155 Why hasn’t her told her the dream was actually a memory and it was him? I mean, she called him Sugar Plum and he called her Candy Floss in it after all! She’s stupid....
Ch154 Matt is definitely in kahoots with Vera and somehow they stole Jeslyn’s baby! Is that how the mom got killed? Or was that Alex and not Alice?...
Ch 153 Yes! I knew it! But… the coma and Damien’s plot…? There’s still so many chapters....
Ch 152 So is this the night Valen was conceived?...
Ch151 She is very stupid to not have told him how Vera bragged about sleeping with him and how could she still call Vera to ask about Valen being awake? This doesn’t make sense. She’s being just as dumb as she was with Christine, letting a snake remain in her home....
Ch142 I think Matt is a liar and up to something. I also think Valen is Jeslyn’s and Vera faked her pregnancy or stole her baby… that coma and that incident at her 18th birthday....
