Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 266

266 Jeslyn’s phenomenal debut (2) 

She eyed the door to the bathroom. Hearing the shower running, she got down from the bed and rushed to the balcony to make a call. ( 

“Miles, how did this happen?!” She knew Jeslyn was married to Maverick but had no idea that Maverick would ever help her like this. 

“I’m not sure what happened either,” Assistant Mile’s voice sounded confused from the other end. 

“You are not sure what happened?! Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on Jeslyn?!” She took a deep breath to calm her anger and asked: “So what plans do you have now?” 

“I’m sorry Miss Christine, I had no idea that things would turn out like this, so I didn’t prepare at backup plan.” 

“You gold–digging bitch!! If you don’t work things in my favor and ruin Jeslyn on that stage today, I’ll make you suffer!!” She disconnected the call and threw her phone in a fit of rage. 

“Jeslyn, how dare you try to be successful? Who allowed you to outshine me?!… I didn’t permit you to appear in front of the world, looking like a winner. I refuse!!” She screamed. 1 

Just then, the bathroom door opened and Young Master Wu poked his head out. “Christine, come join 

me.” 

Christine swallowed her displeasure and smiled, “I’ll be there.” 

In an office, a man was sitting in his CEO seat when his door was pushed open and his Assistant rushed in. 

“Boss, you’d like to watch this!” 

After the CEO watched the video of Maverick and co attending Jeslyn’s debut, he bolted up, took his jacket, and rushed out, heading to Jeslyn’s debut. 

Lots of big shots left their works and homes for Jeslyn’s debut. Some of them wanted to interact with Maverick, and others wanted Maverick to notice them. 

Their intern told them that Valen’s mother was back. If Maverick, who had never gone to places like this before or brought his son to the open, suddenly came out with his son and friends to attend a rookie’s event, then it only told the witty people that Maverick was supporting his beloved woman. 1 

As for Damien, because he was masked, nobody saw him, but Jeslyn recognized him because the mask belonged to her husband. 

He must have pressured Maverick to hand him that mask… shameless Damien! 

Meanwhile, Manager Kate was shocked out of her senses at how quickly the tables had turned. She believed the bigshots were there because of Celestine because she had an inkling of how close Maverick and co were with Celestine, however, she couldn’t wrap her mind around the reason why they would agree to come to a rookie’s debut, also, with Valen. It didn’t make sense no matter how 

hard she tried to look at it from that angle, unless Jeslyn is directly connected to one of them, which she couldn’t believe. 

She stared at Jeslyn for a long time, trying to imagine her being a girl to one of the men present today but couldn’t create a proper picture. 

Maverick wouldn’t be with a bunny like Jeslyn, neither would Matt who seemed to not care about the affairs of the world. As for Inspector Fin, he already has a woman and she came with him. Then, there’s the masked man… 

Manager Kate shook the idea off her mind and all of a sudden, her head snapped to Rex’s side. He was sitting close to Celestine. 

“Aha! I gat ya! So Jeslyn might either be dating Rex, or Rex has shown made his ‘affection‘ for her known and is wooing her, which was why he didn’t want her debut to flop. 

Bravo! However, Manager Kate would never allow Jeslyn and Rex to end up together because Rex is a breaker of women. A lot of women he messed with are either depressed right now or still obsessed with him. 

She likes Jeslyn too much and won’t let Rex ruin her life. However, even though that was so, this opportunity that has presented itself must be taken advantage of to its fullest. 1 

Jeslyn’s successful career path has to start today and she’s willing to set the bar to the highest, no matter what it takes. 

Manager Kate’s motto: ‘If we are winning, then we must take it all!‘wasn’t just a saying, she means every bit of it and does just that. 

Although she is Jeslyn’s manager, no one knows that yet, except Brian. And the way to announce that to the world is to start working. 

She pulled out her phone and checked what was going on online. After seeing that Jeslyn was starting to get good words from lots of people, she smirked and made a call to the company’s PR. 

“I want all the bad comments left on Jeslyn’s to be subtly taken down. Fill the comment section with our people and have them take control of the leading comments. 

Let them announce that tickets to this debut are free and the real event will be starting after an hour. 

Auto–delete any comment that has Christine, murder, accident, sister, Sparkle Entertainment, and everything else that could change the direction of the conversation to Jeslyn’s scandal…” 

After saying a few more words, Manager Kate ended the call before walking into the stage from backstage. 

Seeing Manager Kate on the stage with Jeslyn sent almost everyone into another wave of shock. The woman, dressed in a classy and elegant skirt and shirt with her short hair, refused to be the Manager to other famous A–list actors after Celestine left. Now she’s Jeslyn’s Manager! What the hell!! A lot of people started to wonder. If these bigshots didn’t see anything wrong with Jeslyn’s character or cared about what Jeslyn did to Christine, then who are they to condemn Jeslyn? Coming to that conclusion, Jeslyn won thousands of haters over. 

When they found out that the tickets were free, in less than one hour, the venue was filled to the 

brim. 

If Christine performed for tens of thousand, Jeslyn was would be performing for almost doubled the number of people that attended Christine’s debut 2
