Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Agreement “Exposed”

Because everyone was filming the show, not many people online were paying much attention yet. The post didn’t start gaining real traction until later in the evening.

Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling had just returned to their accommodation when they received a call from their manager.

Mia was flipping through the photos she took today of Jensen in a mascot outfit when she sensed something was off. She looked up, "What’s wrong, Mr. Sterling, did something happen?"

Jensen’s slender fingers were wrapped around his phone. He said a few words to Cameron Grant on the other end and hung up after a short conversation.

Seeing the serious expression on Jensen’s face, Mia stood up from the sofa, "What happened?"

Jensen looked down at her, speaking slowly, "Someone leaked that we have an agreement marriage."

Mia took a couple of seconds to process this, blinking slowly. How could that be?

"No one knows about our agreement, and wasn’t it already destroyed?" How could something destroyed possibly leak out?

"Let’s check online to see what’s going on."

It’s currently around 8 or 9 in the evening, which is when internet users are most active. The topic has now gone viral, and a massive number of people are discussing it.

It’s the number one trending topic, with a big "explosive" tag next to it.

Compared to the fake marriage agreement incident with Leo Lynn from a few days ago, this situation with Jensen Sterling and Mia Sutton is on a whole different level; there’s simply no comparison.

Even if you just mentioned one of them, the topic would explode, not to mention when both of them are involved—that can literally break the internet.

Cameron Grant had suggested to Jensen that they remove the trending topic and handle it cautiously, but Jensen refused.

Cameron roughly understood the idea—given how viral the topic already was, if the trending topic suddenly disappeared, skeptics online would believe it more, asking why someone would remove a trending topic if they had nothing to hide.

[Seriously, does anyone still believe in these so-called agreement things? Hasn’t anyone learned from Leo Lynn’s incident? Does anyone really think Jensen Sterling and Mia Sutton’s marriage is fake?]

[Just finished watching the live broadcast, heard there was gossip, so I rushed here to check it out. Who would’ve thought it’s about my own CP—I’m floored, gossiping about your own couple!]

[I don’t know why, but my first reaction upon seeing this trending topic was to find it funny. @TheOnlyLoveinthisLifetime, is everything not going well for you this year? Why are all your guests rumored to have agreement marriages? Will they say the same about Natalie Jennings and her husband next?]

[Let me tell you a joke: Jensen Sterling and Mia Sutton have an agreement marriage.]

[Seriously, could you not have a couple of peanuts with your drinks to avoid concocting such a story to ride on the hype?]

[This guy obviously didn’t watch today’s live broadcast; otherwise, he wouldn’t say such a thing.]

The whistleblower watching the reaction was dumbfounded—not a single person believed it. If no one believes it, how can he smear them? Without the smear, he won’t get his money.

[Why don’t you believe it? Look at the content of that agreement, the signatures of both people, and even the draft paper used for the agreement. That clearly looks like Mia Sutton’s handwriting.]

There’s evidence with photos; why doesn’t anyone believe it?

After the whistleblower’s insistence, netizens took a serious look at the signatures, which indeed resembled Mia’s and Jensen’s handwriting, especially the draft paper which closely resembled Mia’s writing.

Moreover, the content seemed so realistic... It did seem quite credible.

[The handwriting really does look similar, could this be real?]

Seeing some people waver, the person quickly deployed paid commentators to flood the comments with doubts, asking if this could really be true.

They even pulled out past videos of the two appearing together for comparison.

[Take a look; see how unfamiliar they look with each other. They don’t seem like a married couple at all. Could it be because they only have an agreement marriage and aren’t familiar with each other?] 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Fans of Mia and Jensen, and their CP fans: "..."

Is this person really an anti-fan? Why does what they dig up seem more like sweet moments ("sugar")?

[Come, sisters, look at this—another video we haven’t seen before. Look at how they appear; clearly newlyweds but pretending not to know each other well. They’re really putting themselves in a tough spot.]

[Jensen Sterling: I must control myself, can’t keep staring at my wife, can’t let my fans find out.]

The hired commentators saw the emerging comments and were puzzled: Wasn’t I supposed to be proving they’re unfamiliar with each other? How is this turning into sweet moments?]

No matter how the commentators posted, they couldn’t change the netizens’ perceptions.

The fans were basically treating it all as sugar.

Martin Wright was watching the comments online, his grip on the phone so tight that his knuckles turned white and his eyes were bloodshot.

Why don’t people believe it? They were obviously in an agreement marriage, obviously!

Mia had just broken up with him days before; how could she have gotten married to Jensen so soon?

He hammered his fingers on the phone as he typed swiftly.

[There’s no way these two aren’t in an agreement marriage. Mia had just broken up with Martin Wright—how could she marry Jensen so soon? No one with any sense would do that.]

Netizens: "..." Usually, they were only focused on shipping the couple and had completely forgotten about Martin Wright.

When it’s put that way, it seems to make some sense.

[Moreover, according to insiders, Mia’s family also runs a business, which wasn’t doing well back then. After Mia married Jensen, the Sutton Family’s business inexplicably improved, with Jensen’s involvement noted throughout.]

The netizens: "....." This person’s story does seem quite plausible.

At that moment, someone chimed in, [Brothers, I just got the handwriting analyzed. The handwriting on that draft agreement paper is indeed Mia’s, and the signed handwriting on the agreement has a 90% similarity.]

[So, can we say that this agreement was indeed signed by them? Are they really in an agreement marriage?]

[No way, no way, is my shipped couple fake?]

[Is my fandom doomed?!!]

Due to the analyses above and the influx of paid commentators, there was genuinely a sense of crisis in the comments section, leaving the believers and skeptics somewhat evenly matched.

Mia had been scrolling through the comments and carefully examined the leaked agreement. She remarked, "The story they came up with looks quite believable."

The agreement must be fake since the real one had already been destroyed. However, the guesses on this agreement were really quite close to the truth.

Jensen nodded, "Martin Wright’s doing." It didn’t even take a guess to know who was behind it.

"But....." Mia peered at the draft agreement curiously, "How did this end up here?"

She recalled that it was something she idly wrote on the day before signing the agreement with Jensen, a paper she casually put in... her bag.

Bag?!

Realizing this, Mia’s eyes widened with realization, "Was I carrying that bag the day I went to the Sterling Family?"

Could things be any more coincidental!

It really was something she wrote and that got taken.

...

Mia looked at the Weibo post once more, her eyes lighting up after pondering for a moment, "I have a way to respond now."
