Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 474

474 Fearless Entertainment's Anniversary

People would have concluded that the man was bullying her, but she looked like she was only comfortable with him around. Her grip on the back of his white shirt was so tight that they could see her knuckles turned white. 1

The man felt it and paused. He looked at her and said something to which she nodded. The man smiled faintly, kissed the top of her head and swept her off her feet.

The reporters who had written down pages and pages of questions were stunned and even forgot to take pictures of the two.

The fans who had a lot to say, couldn't pull their minds away from what just happened.

"I thought they said the two broke up? Or are my eyes deceiving me?" someone asked in the crowd after Jeslyn and Maverick went inside

"I was also wondering."

"My question is, why is VJ Cute looking so thin and sick?"

"She also looks traumatized."

"I bet you guys traumatized her with your comments weeks ago. Didn't you see that she didn't wave at us, or even spared us some glances like she used to do? I told y'all to be calm and wait for her to clear the air, but no, y'all attacked her husband like he was some child that could be abused!" an angry fan yelled from the back of the crowd.

"Now she's scared of us," another pouted.

Remorse swept through the crowd but it was far from over.

Manager Kate who just watched what happened was flabbergasted. That play was simply epic! No dialogues were said, yet the picture they painted was tear-inducing. She suddenly had an idea. After this, she'd speak to Jeslyn if she would consider acting as a side hustle.

Other Celebrities and invited guests walked down the red carpet, made poses for the cameras and

walked in.

A moment later, the TV caught sight of another mighty figure who had been away for months. Brian!

The young man stepped out of the white car and went over to open the door on the other side. While fans were excited to see him again, they were also curious to see who the god of the entertainment industry came with.

'Piper?!'

Fans gasped in shock. They knew the beef between the two even though they had no idea why. So why was he with her?

I said it. Fights in the entertainment industry are always a sham to control ridiculous fans to milk more money! I never believed those two were enemies. Hmph!"

'I'm so upset right now! How could my idol be with Piper? This is crazy!'

'+2000'

'Aww, they look good together!'

'+5000'

'Although I'm Brian's diehard fan and don't like Piper for him, they accept her if he loves her. After all, it all boils down to who makes one happy and comfortable.

'+10,000'

'It's not fair. Brian bullied our Piper so much in the past. I'm afraid she's in a toxic relationship. Petition to break them apart!'

'+8000'

'Our idol is not an abusive man, your Piper is nothing but a ******

'Who said that?'

Brian and Piper's fans who didn't show up, took to the comment section to speak their minds. Fights, agreement, disagreement and everything else that could be found in every comment section of controversial posts were right under the pages showing what was going on at the event.

After the two walked down the red carpet, the next people to step on it were Rex and Celestine. Oh yeah, people saw it on the TV before and knew they were dating, or rather engaged. But seeing them walk down the red carpet, holding hands was another feeling for them.

After them came Lolita and Matt. Another shock and disbelief coursed through everyone. But they soon got over it. There was a chance that Lolita might end up with one of Alpha Chaos' friends anyway. After all, she is Jeslyn's best friend.

Coming after was Inspector Fin and Beverly. The two didn't cause much uproar, other than admiration for how good-looking they were.

The last couple of the day was Damien and Kimberly. Alpha Chaos' ex-enemy, engaged to his second sister is indeed something that is hard to swallow, but who are they to make a sound? Damien is as bad as Alpha Chaos. Just because he hadn't caused trouble in months doesn't mean he can't bite whoever speaks bad of him, they thought.

The last person from the second branch of the Lu family to walk down the red carpet, was Mr. Valen! The young child had his hands tucked in his pockets. He wore a white shirt on black pants. Just like his father, his first few buttons were open. His long hair was combed to the side, covering his right eye as always.

Behind him were five guards, comprising Code 2, 5, 10, Yellow and Blue. The six of them gave off a nonchalant but powerful presence that couldn't be ignored.

Cameras rolled. Flashlights rained as reporters and fans took endless pictures of the cute and sweet child. Words couldn't describe how thrilled they were. If only he was not a child... Some sighed. Inside the hall, everyone were sitting quietly and waiting for the show to begin. Welcome speech was made. Younger artists stepped onto the stage, showcased their talents and left. Refreshments were served. Finally, awards were given to deserving artists for supporting the company and helping it grow.

"These Awards, although aren't the main Awards that artists crave for, Fearless Entertainment is known for recognizing her artists on her anniversaries.

"This

year, Fearless saw more candidates than last year and we are very happy for that. If you didn't get an award now, do know that it doesn't mean you're bad or aren't doing good. It just means that you need to tighten your belt and try harder.

"Now, I shall allow my colleague, Mr. Ran to come on stage and announce give the awards!"

After a round of applause, a muddled-aged man got on stage, said a few more words and started calling names for the Award.

"The Rising Star Award goes to, Ms. Lolita Yan!"

Everyone clapped as she went to stage, grabbed her award, said a few thank encouragement before stepping down!

you and words of

Other names were called for different awards, including Toria, who was awarded for her 'Unmatched dedication!

Brian was awarded for being the 'Growth driver. Although he retired, the company felt he needed to be awarded because he tried a lot for them when he was still there.

"The last but not the least name on our list today, is the award for the 'stand-out performer' of the year. Please, let's welcome Mrs. Jeslyn Lee!"

The hall erupted into a loud cheer. Nobody doubted she'd be getting that award. If she hadn't taken it, there would have been an uproar.

When it was her turn to accept her award, Jeslyn walked onto the stage with Maverick's help. After he went down, Brian returned to the stage to stand by her. The two shared a prolonged hug in everyone's presence.
