Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 265 - 264: Program Conflict

Martin Wright, noticing Mia Sutton’s attitude, felt a hint of loneliness flash in his eyes. After greeting everyone, he also sat down.

Not long after, Chloe Young arrived. She greeted everyone with a gentle smile and then walked over to Martin Wright, smiling as she asked, "May I sit here?"

Martin Wright was a bit distracted and didn’t quite catch what she said, so he casually replied with an "mm."

Chloe Young then proceeded to sit next to him and glanced at Mia Sutton.

Mia Sutton met her gaze: "..."

Why are you looking at me? I’m not interested.

With twelve people there, everyone took turns introducing themselves. Once Mia Sutton finished her introduction, she didn’t say much.

There wasn’t a need for this segment to last too long; having enough material to edit later was enough.

So it wasn’t long before they all dispersed.

That night, Nolan Sinclair arrived at the show’s location right after getting off the plane.

As it was already late, he did not disturb anyone. After going over all the guests’ information, he went to rest.

However, he did glance twice at Mia Sutton’s profile.

He didn’t expect to cross paths with her again.

The show’s format combines pre-recorded clips with live broadcasts, where guests’ activities and backstage preparations are recorded in advance and then edited for broadcast.

The stage performances, however, are entirely live.

This combination is one reason why the show is so popular; audiences love the live aspect.

This blend of formats made them an industry sensation.

The reason for this sensation, of course, is that live broadcasts can go off the rails.

It’s something that scares the artists but thrills the producers.

Live shows give people a novel experience with unpredictable elements, making them exciting.

The next day, the show began its recording, and the official social media account announced it yesterday. Netizens were already waiting in the live broadcast room early.

[Mia and Lynn Joyner, I’ve been waiting for this for so long, finally getting to see them both on stage, so excited.]

[I wonder what kind of stage they’ll bring this time, can’t wait.]

[Let’s go, brothers and sisters.]

Amidst the barrage of comments, the live broadcast began, with Nolan Sinclair and Heather Holloway walking onto the stage with microphones.

[That’s my husband, oh my, what a presence.]

[You can always trust my brother Nolan; he’s forever a legend.]

Nolan Sinclair, holding the microphone, looked at the people seated in the audience.

As he scanned the crowd, his gaze lingered a few seconds longer on Mia Sutton before moving on.

After the two announced the show’s rules, they took their seats at the judges’ table.

The show officially kicked off with Mia Sutton and Lynn Joyner scheduled to perform second to last.

This was determined through a draw at that time.

Mia Sutton watched as people ahead performed one after another. During this time, based on their performances, the mentors decided whether to invite them to join their team.

Before Chloe Young’s performance, Heather Holloway’s team already had four members, including Martin Wright.

Meanwhile, Nolan Sinclair’s team had three members.

Chloe Young prepared a street dance routine this time; it was energetic. However, the moment the song title appeared, Mia Sutton’s previously lazy eyes paused.

The next moment, a trace of amusement crossed her eyes.

Did they just... collide?

Before this, they didn’t know each other’s routines; they only informed the crew of their performances.

Unexpectedly, such a coincidence happened.
