Two Childhood Sweethearts Forced Me To Be A Control Group For Another Woman

"Jemima, we can help you, but you must participate in this variety show and be the control group for Merry! Otherwise, you will watch the Walter Family go bankrupt and wait for your family to be destroyed."

At my birthday party, I begged Zack and Samuel to help my family through the difficulties. Just like my family helped their family back then. But Zack said those words coldly and although Samuel didn't say anything, his cold eyes had acquiesced.

I had a relationship with them for 25 years. They once said that I was someone they could protect with their lives. But since Merry debuted as my assistant, they had regarded Merry as the person at the top of their hearts. Even though Merry hurt me many times, they still favored Merry.

Now they were using my family to force me to be the control group for Merry. To put it bluntly, they just wanted Merry to step on me to get to the top. I loved my acting career, so I wouldn’t give in.

So I called the man I had hurt, "Jason? Are you still willing to marry me? If you are, then accompany me to participate in a variety show."

The variety show would be recorded for seven days and this was the deadline for me to leave Zack and Samuel.

"Jemima, we can help you, but you must participate in this variety show to be the control group of Merry! Otherwise, you will watch the Walter Family go bankrupt and wait for the family to be broken up," Zack said coldly.

Samuel didn't say anything, but he had acquiesced.

Then, they picked up food for Merry with their eyes full of pampering.

Merry didn't eat, but looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Jemima, are you still unwilling to forgive me?"

I took a deep breath. I couldn't pretend to be like her, but I didn't want to say a word to her.

Merry poured a glass of wine, walked in front of me, knelt in front of me and raised the glass and said, "Jemima, please forgive me. Drink this glass of wine, we will still be sisters in the future, okay?"

"I am allergic to alcohol." I shook my head and planned to leave.

Because I could see that Zack and Samuel would not help me. They seemed to have forgotten that it was my family that dealt with them when their two families were on the verge of bankruptcy. Since they were ungrateful, I would leave and stay away them.

But Zack suddenly helped Merry up, pointed at me and said, "Jemima, Merry is so humble now, what are you pretending to be, can't you be more generous?"

Samuel walked to the other side of me, suddenly pinched my cheek and then poured the wine into my mouth.

"We are too good to you, so you are so ignorant!" Samuel said coldly.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't speak. Because I was really allergic to alcohol.

In the past, no matter what I ate or drank, they would be very careful and cautious to repeatedly confirm whether there was alcohol. But now, they were forcing me to drink.

Samuel threw me away and I fell to the ground with my whole body weak.

Zack sneered, "Do you know how to pretend to be weak now?"

Samuel pulled Merry up and said, "Don't worry about her, let her think about what she did wrong!"

What was wrong? If there was a mistake, it was that when their two families were on the verge of bankruptcy, I shouldn't have asked my parents to help them.

At that time, my father said that these two families were targeted by the industry because they were too ruthless and didn't want to wade into the muddy water.

But I begged them, saying that Zack and Samuel were good to me and hoped that they could help. As a result, they helped two evils.

Now, they just left me, who was allergic to alcohol, in the private room of the restaurant. I felt suffocated and my consciousness began to blur.

Would I going to die?

I used the last bit of my strength and bit my lips and then I became more sober. Then I found my mobile phone and just as I was about to dial out, someone called me. It was Jason.

"Check my location, I'm dying."

After I finished speaking, my consciousness became even more blurred.

Then I heard Jason shouting on the other end of the phone, "Check Jemima's location immediately, quickly!"

When I woke up again, I was in the hospital.

I opened my eyes and saw Jason, who was 195 cm tall, sitting on a very small chair. He fell asleep, with his long eyelashes. He snored because of his bad sleeping posture.

I called softly, "Jason..."

Then I heard my voice become hoarse. I was very scared. If my voice was damaged due to alcohol allergy, how could I sing in the future? Then, I cried.

Jason woke up and saw me crying. He asked worriedly and distressedly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

I shook my head, trying to pretend to be strong, but I couldn't help crying, "Is my voice broken?"

Jason shook his head, "Don't worry, I've asked the doctor and it will be fine after a few days of rest."

I was relieved.

Jason looked at the time and said, "Your mom and dad will be here soon, I will go back first. The company has an important contract to sign and Party All Star is waiting for me."

I nodded, "Thank you."

I was the only one left in the ward.

Now, all I think about was the past with Zack and Samuel. I debuted as a singersongwriter and later gueststarred in several popular dramas, becoming famous for my first love face.

For a long time, I was hailed as the nation's sweetheart. I maintained an original album and at least three dramas every year, fighting in the entertainment industry, because this was the career I loved.

What bothers me was that my two childhood friends showed their love to me almost every day. Zack and Samuel were childhood friends who had never been absent in my 25 years of life.

When their two families were on the verge of bankruptcy, my parents helped them. Since then, they had been better and better to me. The sentence they said to me the most was that they could give their lives for me.

Later, when I entered the entertainment industry, they even escorted me. Zack founded a record company, Samuel founded an entertainment company and only signed me. But at the same time, I also made them a lot of money.

I remembered all their kindness to me. But even if they didn't do these, with my family background, they could do these for me. And they seemed to have changed. In the past, we did things based on feelings, but now they were more like benefactors.

Especially my assistant Merry. After I debuted on the variety show, they favored Merry more and more.

When recording the variety show, I accidentally knocked the quilt off while eating and Merry immediately ran into the camera, knelt in front of me to clean up the broken glass and then cried pitifully. The program crew made trouble and asked Merry why she cried afterwards.

Merry cried in front of the camera and then shook her head in horror, "Don't talk nonsense, Jemima is very good to me, really, really, Jemima is really very good to me."

This video was posted on Facebook as a clickbait. Some people started to make a fuss, saying that Jemima must have treated Merry badly because she cried so much. Then, the fuss was all over the place.

They all said that my personality had collapsed, saying that I was gentle in front of the screen but vicious behind the screen. And Merry kept recording videos to clarify, but when she recorded the videos, her right eye was bruised. Netizens immediately speculated that I had hit Merry. Then, I became obscure.

This was the entertainment industry, with the power of the Internet, someone could change from popular to obscure, in the blink of an eye.

Later, Zack and Samuel held a press conference, publicly expressing their disappointment in me and shouted across the air, asking me not to be willful anymore and asked me to apologize publicly. Finally, they also said that they would push Merry to debut.

I went to them to explain, but they didn't believe me at all. Instead, they protected Merry in their arms, as if I would really hit someone.

And they said to me fiercely, "Jemima, you have to apologize publicly immediately, otherwise we will hide you!"

I didn't apologize and they really hid me.

During the three months when I was hidden, Merry appeared on four variety shows to become familiar to the public. With her "gentle and considerate" personality, she quickly became popular. She even released her own album, but the songs in the album were my original songs, but I didn't include them in the album because I was not satisfied with them.

I wanted to find Zack and Samuel again, but I didn't expect that there was a problem with my family's business and they urgently needed capital injection.

When I returned home, I saw the man who had been pestering me for almost 20 years, Jason. His family's wealth in California was more than one level higher than mine.

When I was in elementary school, he still had a runny nose and asked me to be his wife. When I grew up, his pursuit became more intense, but Zack and Samuel blocked it. Zack and Samuel were almost killed by him when they were thrown into the sea.

That time I slapped him and that was also the time I saw deep sadness in his eyes. Since then, he rarely appeared in front of me.

When I saw him at home, he was talking to my dad about funding my family.

I strode into the study, picked up the teacup on the table and splashed it on his face, saying coldly, "Jason, my family's business is in trouble. Are you the one who is causing trouble? You just want to force me to marry you, right?"

Dad slammed the table, "Jemima, if Jason is such a person, wouldn't he have used this method long ago?"

I realized that I was too impulsive, but I refused to apologize because of my face.

Jason just wiped his face and said helplessly, "Why don't you believe me?"

Then he shook his head and left. Even when he was helpless, his tone was full of pampering for me.

Later I told my dad that I would find a way to deal with this matter.

On my birthday, I invited Zack and Samuel and they brought Merry. They knew that I was allergic to alcohol, but they still forced me to drink.

And the one who saved me was the man I had hurt. I suddenly felt that I was a little ridiculous. For more than 20 years, I had never seen clearly what the people around me look like.

But now, I finally could see it clearly.

At this time, the door of the ward was opened. I thought it was Jason who came back, or my parents came.

But what I saw was Zack and Samuel coming in and Merry followed behind them. Even Merry, who was behind them, gave me a middle finger.

"Jemima, you've even come to the hospital to pretend to be weak?"

Zack sneered, "Do you think that this will allow me and Samuel to treat you the same way as before?"

Samuel walked up to me, looked at me and said, "To tell you the truth, pretending to be sick is useless. You must participate in that variety show to be the control group of Merry, otherwise Zack and I will never spoil you. Without our love, what are you?"

Zack said sarcastically, "And think about it. If you agree to participate in the variety show, we will not help your family. By then, your family will go bankrupt and your parents will have to commit suicide. Can you bear it?"

Merry sat on the bed, holding my hand and said, "Jemima, the most important thing for a woman is to be obedient. You can't rely on Zack and Samuel to spoil you and not be obedient, right?"

Why should a woman be obedient? I could listen to the right thing, but why should I listen to the wrong thing?

I stared at them and said, "Have you forgotten who helped you when your two families were about to go bankrupt?"

"Did anyone ask you to help us?" Zack's eyes were cold.

Samuel sneered, "Are you trying to repay a favor?"

Very good, these two people were simply ungrateful to say such things.

I didn't want to see them again, so I said directly, "I don't need your help, someone will help me!"

"Help you?" Zack asked in cold tone.

Zack sneered, "Who will help you? Besides us, who else will help your family now? You probably don't know how big a hole your family is in this time?"

Samuel thought a lot and said after a moment, "You don't want Jason to help you? Jemima, have you forgotten how he treated me and Zack? He threw us into the sea and almost killed us. You asked him to help you, which is a betrayal to us!"

"I betrayed? It was obviously Merry who framed me, but you didn't help me, but helped her suppress me instead. Now you want to make me her control group, trying to squeeze out my value. Someone else will help me and you accuse me of betrayal? Are you two still human?"

My throat hurt and after saying this, it hurt even more and tears flew down in pain.

Zack saw me crying and said, "Haha, you know how to cry now?"

Samuel sneered, "I tell you, Jemima, in this world, no one will treat you well except the two of us, so don't dream!"

Was I, Jemima, a mean person? No one would treat me well except them? Well, I would let them know whether I, Jemima, was really unloved.

I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will participate in the variety show."

Zack sneered.

Samuel took Merry away and said, "I will give you the script later."

The ward was quiet.

I picked up the phone and dialed Jason's number, "Jason? Are you still willing to marry me? If you are willing, then accompany me to participate in a variety show."
