When this trending topic exploded, the fifth contestant ad finished campaigning and the sixth was getting ready to perform.
In Elena’s private dressing room, Amelia had been waiting for Vivian’s next move, and this was it.
She smiled and looked at Louie.
Louie had obviously seen it too. He immediately typed it’s all because of that fake medical record from
before.
Amelia smiled and shook her head, then sent a message to their group chat.
Right now we have one direction only: talent. Absolute talent.
Louie, reading over her shoulder, nodded. This was the consensus they’d reached.
Elena was a masked contestant who barely anyone knew before this show.
So people who liked Elena were naturally viewers of the show.
Most were drawn in by her performances.
Given that, as long as she had talent, didn’t cross any red lines, and wasn’t some idol–what was wrong with dating someone? Especially when the truth was they weren’t even dating.
So there was nothing to worry about. Don’t confirm, don’t deny.
“Got it!” Harper immediately replied.
Harper and Se7ven were still at that apartment complex. If James Rodriguez had previously made them work mostly in the spare bedroom, now he was letting them use the living room.
Seven might have been a basement dweller, but he was absolutely killer at this stuff.
“Team One, go to the relevant fan communities and ph talent vs. rumors‘ messaging. Use memes and viral images.”
“Team Two, build momentum. Get all the posts about ena’s talent trending”

“Team Three, come with me to muddy the waters and create distractions!”
Harper handled coordination with various parties, the worked with Se7ven to plan counterattacks against Vivian’s team.
Everyone had their role.
Meanwhile, Owen Kim’s team on Vivian’s side was also actively engaging.
“Team One, push the narrative that Elena’s performance wasn’t real skill. This is a music competition, and all her flashy stuff isn’t purely musical–it’s unfair to other contestants.”
“Team Two, promote Elena and Louie’s secret relationship. Imply Elena has moral issues. If necessary, spread rumors about her messy personal life.”
“Team Three, detect when the opposing team engages, then follow me to target them.”
Total warfare.
The internet became a complete battlefield.
But in the end. Elena’s talent won out.
After all-
“What do you mean ‘not real skill“? Are you blind? Five countries‘ instruments, five singing styles, five languages, seamless song integration, top–tier lyrics and composition–if this isn’t musical talent, what is?”
This comment got massive likes and dominated the trending list.
Countless people agreed.
Internet users might sometimes lack information to judge truth from lies, but they had eyes.
Meanwhile, on Owen’s side.
“Boss, we can’t win this. Elena’s performance was too song. Nothing we say works, and their team is pretty good too”
One of his people hesitated before asking: “Should we lease that miscarriage material we prepared
earlier?”
Owen didn’t dare make that call alone. He needed to contact Vivian first.

But he’d been messaging Vivian since this started, and he hadn’t responded,
Owen was getting anxious. Watching the sixth singer finish and start campaigning on stage, he sent
another urgent message.
So why wasn’t Vivian responding?
She was cornered.
Before she could even leave the staff corridor, someone was smiling at her.
The person said: “Ms. Hope, we have something you’ll find very interesting.”
Vivian tried to ignore them, but they played an audio recording.
It was Vivian’s conversation in the staff corridor from earlier. Her face went white.
“Ms. Hope, think about it. We’ve had recording equipment here since the very first Voice of Heaven broadcast. Just think about what you’ve said.”
“You’re illegally recording!” Vivian snarled. “I could sue you!”
The person kept grinning: “You think we’d be in this business without backup plans?”
“And really, what’s more important–us getting sued, or your secrets going public?”
“Ms. Hope, I’m giving you three seconds to think. If you don’t agree, my partner will take the same material to Elena. I think she’d be very interested.”
“Plus, I bet Amelia would be interested too. Ms. Hope, give us a little money and you can keep Mr. Harrison locked down. Otherwise, if he learns your true nature, that wouldn’t be cost–effective.”
They started counting.
“One.”
“Two.”
“Thr-”
Before they could finish “three,” Vivian agreed to go with them.
Meanwhile, in Elena’s dressing room.

Amelia found it strange that Vivian hadn’t released any follow–up material.
She exchanged a look with Louie.
He looked equally confused.
This wasn’t Vivian’s style.
The sixth singer had finished campaigning, and now it was commercial time plus other program
segments.
All to give live and online audiences time to vote.
The live audience was voting in an orderly fashion, but online voting was still a bloodbath.
Elena was undoubtedly first, but the other spots were tight.
Each contestant had their own fans, and online voting wasn’t limited to one choice–you could vote for multiple contestants with multiple tickets.
When Vivian emerged from that little room, she looked absolutely livid.
They’d taken advantage of the situation to demand ten million.
But where could she get ten million on short notice?
And it wasn’t worth it anyway.
“Ms. Hope, you can give us two million upfront, then get the rest from Nathan Harrison later. I mean, with Nathan Harrison’s wealth, a mere ten million isn’t much, right?”
Vivian had to transfer two million first, then left.
The people inside weren’t worried about the remaining payment–they had the goods.
More accurately, they were all practically glowing with greed.
“Boss, you’re amazing! When you kept saying ‘wait,‘ I was getting impatient, but now you’ve proved that experience beats everything! Perfect timing–she had choice, hahaha.”
“Boss is the boss, boss is awesome!”
