Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 402 - 401: Couples Variety Show

The trending searches for Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling stayed on the hot list for several days, with a variety of fancy tags.

In addition, nearly half of the people in the entertainment circle posted on Weibo to congratulate them.

Director Lawson, Director Jiang, many top-tier artists, and even members of Mia Sutton’s group all posted on Weibo.

It could be said that it stirred up a large part of the entertainment circle.

Moreover, as past material about them was dug out one after another,

many people joined their relationship bandwagon. After all, a real-life couple is really sweet, too shippable. The little details that fans unearth are always the sweetest.

In fact, many have gone back to rewatch their previous dramas and variety shows, especially "Drama Tragedy." Although its peak period has passed, because of this matter, its box office has once again soared wildly, looking like it could reach new heights.

Those investors can hardly keep their mouths shut from smiling.

However, after the official announcement, both lost a significant number of followers. The haters were crazily ranting, marketing accounts stirring the pot, and some fans unfollowed and criticized them.

Although all of this was expected, it indeed caused a significant shock in the circle.

Jensen Sterling has a solid status in the circle, and although people curse him, it isn’t too harsh. Mia Sutton, on the other hand, was heavily criticized.

If it weren’t for her winning the Best Actress award, she might have been criticized even more harshly.

Mia Sutton could vaguely guess the situation online and thus hadn’t really opened Weibo these past few days.

The two of them haven’t had much activity recently and have just been staying at home.

...

On the other side, Martin Wright watched the news pushed on his phone, the gloom on his face visibly obvious, and his knuckles turned pale from gripping the phone tightly.

Although he had guessed it before, guessing it was one thing, actually seeing it himself was another.

After all this time, Martin had long realized that he actually liked Mia Sutton, but due to his foolishness and ignorance, he had pushed her away.

But why, why did it have to be Jensen Sterling!

Not only did she leave him, but she became his aunt.

This made Martin feel like he was going crazy, watching his ex-girlfriend be affectionate with his uncle right in front of him, which was essentially torture for him.

Martin kept looking at his phone repeatedly and eventually called his mother, even though they had known about Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling’s marriage early on. Still, no one told him, and everyone kept it from him.

As for what happened after the phone call is unknown, and no one paid it any attention, least of all Mia Sutton.

...

Over on Cameron Grant’s side, ever since Jensen Sterling’s official announcement, he’s been so busy that his feet haven’t touched the ground, feeling like the workload over these few days could match all the work he’s ever done before.

He has to constantly keep an eye on the trending searches and various marketing accounts, fearing they might pull some stunts.

Amidst the busyness, he received a phone call.

It was from a variety show, more specifically, an emotional variety program focusing on married couples and couples.

This wasn’t the first time that the program had contacted Cameron Grant. More accurately, they reached out right after that photo first got out, inviting them.

At that time, Cameron Grant wasn’t sure and gave a somewhat vague response, something along the lines of needing more time to consider.

Over the past few days, he had become so swamped with work that the variety show matter slipped his mind completely, successfully forgotten.

Of course, he didn’t dare agree immediately, so after hanging up the phone, Cameron Grant gave Jensen Sterling a call.

"Hello."

"Hey, Jensen, there’s something I need to discuss with you."

Jensen Sterling had just washed a plate of fruit, placed it on the table, and gestured for Mia Sutton to help herself, while answering the phone with one hand.

Jensen didn’t say anything on his end, so Cameron understood and began to talk by himself.

"Here’s the thing, a few days ago, a variety show contacted us and wants to invite you and Ms. Sutton to participate."

"No need," the man’s voice came through faint and clear.

Cameron quickly replied, "No, Jensen, it’s not those typical shows; it’s a couple-themed one. Their team contacted us right after you guys came out with the announcement."

"Jensen, I think it might be good for you to participate."

Cameron continued talking, switching between his phone and the latest online updates.

"A lot of people have all sorts of speculations about your marriage, and recently, some marketing accounts have been deliberately stirring things up regarding Ms. Sutton. Although we’ve managed to suppress it, it’s not a long-term solution."

"This is a perfect opportunity. If you join the show, it could help reshape how netizens view your relationship. It’s more effective than any public relations effort."

Cameron rattled on, knowing this was a great chance that warranted his effort to persuade Jensen Sterling.

Online, people tend to go with the flow; hardly anyone knows the truth and would just follow wherever these marketing accounts lead them.

If there’s a show, it would naturally divert netizens’ attention from these unfounded accounts since their show would be more credible.

After a brief silence, Jensen Sterling said faintly, "Let me ask Mia."

Cameron: "Alright."

Mia Sutton was watching short videos, munching on the washed fruit, cheeks puffing with each bite. Seeing this, she looked up at Jensen Sterling: "What’s up?"

"Cameron said there’s a couple’s variety show that wants to invite us..."

He roughly relayed what Cameron said and then asked, "Mia, do you want to participate?"

Mia Sutton lowered her eyes, pondered slightly, and then blinked her eyes up at him: "What about you, Jensen? You don’t usually do these kinds of shows, right?"

Jensen Sterling: "I’m fine either way." Although he didn’t participate before, now he sees no reason not to.

Moreover...

A few variety show scenarios flashed through his mind; thinking about it, it seemed quite nice.

Mia Sutton quickly decided: "Then let’s do it."

Given Cameron’s insistence, he must have a valid point, and there was no need to refuse.

"Then... should I inform Celine about this?"

Jensen acknowledged it with a hum.

Celine Thorne also received the news as the show’s team contacted them right after calling Cameron Grant.

She was just planning to discuss it with Mia Sutton when Mia’s call came through.

Celine: "My take is you should participate. It’s a great exposure opportunity and can clear up some of the rumors surrounding you and Jensen, killing multiple birds with one stone."

Mia Sutton: "Hmm... Okay, I got it."
