Chapter 85
Vivian thought Eddie would agree right away, but unexpectedly, Eddie hesitated.
“Miss Hope, I can’t agree to that. You might need to ask Mr. Harrison directly. Without his instructions, I can’t act on my own,” Eddie’s voice came through.
Eddie didn’t get to his position by being stupid.
“Oh, I see. Okay, sorry about that,” Vivian apologized, but inside she was pissed.
Once she became Mrs. Harrison, she’d definitely fire Eddie.
This was the first time in ages that Vivian had hit walls everywhere.
No choice left.
Vivian walked over to Nathan’s seat.
“Nathan,” Vivian looked at Nathan with conflicted hesitation.
Nathan glanced at Vivian and gestured for her to speak directly.
Vivian leaned close to Nathan’s ear and explained what she wanted to borrow.
“Please, Nathan,” Vivian added pitifully. “Actually, this is all Cavendish family infighting–Sebastian and Louie are going at each other. I even saw Sebastian backstage earlier, and the brothers seemed to be throwing punches.”
“But the audience doesn’t know that, so they’re all suspecting me.”
་
Vivian’s eyes reddened slightly. “Normally I wouldn’t be afraid of these rumors since I don’t have much time left anyway. It’s just that I hope to pass on my good intentions. If I get blamed for this, everything I’ve done these past days will be tainted.”
“Nathan, I don’t want that. You know that’s not what I’m about.”
Vivian directly threw Sebastian under the bus.
Nathan looked at Vivian quietly.

Nathan’s emotions were complicated.
He knew about the Cavendish family infighting.
Vivian had also told him about her feelings regarding participating in this show.
But…
Amelia’s image flashed through Nathan’s mind.
Harrison Group hadn’t originally had an entertainment division–that department only existed because
of Amelia.
You could say everything in that department was tailor–made for Amelia.
Even though Amelia had signed with Cavendish Entertainment first, and the department later cultivated other artists, the most preparation and best fit was still for Amelia.
Amelia knew this too, but she said she believed in honoring contracts and didn’t break her deal with
Cavendish Entertainment.
Later when she temporarily stepped back from her music career, the subject never came up again.
Vivian felt uncomfortable under his stare, but maintained her pitiful expression.
“If you don’t want to, Nathan… then forget it,” she finally said with a forced smile.
Nathan looked away.
Whatever.
Amelia had become someone he didn’t recognize.
She didn’t need it anymore either,
Finally, he said, “Contact Eddie and say I told you to.”
“Really? Thank you, Nathan!” Vivian immediately brightened and contacted Eddie right away.
But Nathan didn’t want to look at her.
Sensing something, Nathan looked up and gazed toward the far corridor.

Then he saw the masked woman standing there, watching him quietly.
Louie emerged from deeper in the corridor and draped a coat over the masked woman’s shoulders
Louie said something to her. She finally looked away and left with Louie.
With various discussions and theories floating around, public opinion eventually started whitewashing
her.
“Our Vivian practices what she preaches. Whether participating in Voice of Heaven or attending charity galas before, it’s all to give strength to people with similar illnesses, to make her death meaningful
“Yeah, Vivian’s dying soon–why would she want to suppress Elena?”
“I got inside info that it’s Cavendish family infighting–Sebastian and Louie going at each other. Sebastian did it, nothing to do with Vivian.”
“So sad. Vivian only has like six months left and she’s still getting blamed.”
“Right…”
Seeing all this, Amelia smiled slightly.
Sure enough, once the “she’s dying” get–out–of–jail–free card came out, Vivian gained everyone’s sympathy
again.
Louie, sitting next to Amelia, was furious.
“What the hell is he doing!” They both knew who the “he” was. “Let’s use that backup plan.
But Amelia shook her head.
When they’d done the warmup before, they’d left traces, but this wave involved different people
People from Harrison Group.
So the evidence they’d prepared earlier wouldn’t be very useful against these people,
“We’re just letting her off the hook?” Louie said through gritted teeth
Amelia smiled. “How could we?”
“But she…” Louie glanced at the nearby camera and didn’t dare speak too clearly.

“Do you know the phrase ‘drinking poison to quench thirst“?” Amelia said with a smile.
“You mean…” Louie’s eyes flashed.
Amelia looked down and typed on her phone under cover.
Vivian backstabbed Sebastian today first. Even though Sebastian and she are still allies, he can’t help but
hold a grudge.
Second, she used Harrison Group resources. Even though she barely whitewashed herself, she didn’t win, and her image now has flaws, planting seeds of doubt in people’s minds.
Finally, and most importantly, she’s desperate and panicking. Her “get–out–of–jail–free card” has diminishing returns. Using it once or twice still works, but use it too much and everyone gets annoyed.
Fake can’t become real. The more she whitewashes now, the worse the backlash will be later.
From her having to use Harrison Group resources, that backlash day is coming soon.
Louie nodded vigorously.
Amelia was absolutely right.
He was just too impatient.
His hot temper had pros and cons–while others didn’t usually dare mess with him, his temper had screwed him over many times in his younger days. He only gradually learned to stay somewhat calm
later.
He needed to keep up with Amelia’s pace and work harder on self–control!
“Besides, look–we’ve already achieved our goal,” Amelih said with a smile.
She handed her phone to Louie.
While online opinion wasn’t aggressively pursuing Vivian, Elena was getting rave reviews.
First came netizen praise.
Then famous influencers gradually analyzed how good her songs were, how many details they contained, how difficult they were to pull off.
Then various music bloggers started challenging her high notes from “Deep Sea.”

The buzz spread rapidly.
This triggered even more netizen curiosity and attracted more attention.
“During the first live show, everyone was debating whether Slight Love or ‘Yesterday Once More was better–they called it white moonlight vs. red mole back then. Now we finally have a conclusion:
Yesterday Once More‘ is stronger!”
“Yes! Hahaha, Vivian’s not even a professional singer.ight Love is great too, but still can’t match Yesterday Once More.“”
“Actually Slight Love itself is strong, but the live performance wasn’t great. But she’s not a professional singer, so being inconsistent is normal.”
“Anyway, Elena is amazing!”
Suddenly, Elena’s commercial value exploded!
Voice of Heaven gradually approached its end.
This round had all the singers showing their skills, and the eliminated contestants left everyone feeling
regretful.
With that, this buzz–generating Voice of Heaven livestram came to an end.
But what Amelia didn’t expect was that Vivian would dig her own grave at the very end.
