Chapter 10 Did He Be Cheated On?

Stephany returned to the audience and gave Ariana a thumbs up gesture.

Ariana was full of confidence, "Next, I will sing 'The Perfect Couple'!"

The music started playing, and Ariana raised the microphone to lip sync.

Just "The Perfect Couple" turned into "Break Up," and then it turned into "Blue World."

The band looked confused, all stopped there, because they didn't know what song to sing next.

They had never encountered such a situation.

Ariana couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all and could only reluctantly try to lip sync.

She had no idea what the next song will be, so when the songs transitioned, the big screen displayed Ariana's facial expressions in an awkward manner.

The whole venue fell into silence, with the sound of solo singing echoing through the night sky, without any accompaniment, only seeing Ariana performing quietly on stage.

Suddenly, the singing abruptly stopped, and Ariana didn't have time to control her expression.

The whole audience saw her mouth moving without any sound.

Realizing that something was wrong, she immediately shut her mouth.

She turned on the microphone and was about to speak.

A voice sounded.

"Hello everyone, I am Ariana's voice substitute. From the various signs just now, I believe many people have noticed that Ariana had some issues."

"I sang all of Ariana's songs, and I'm sorry for deceiving everyone for over a year. Singing is a pleasure, and I really enjoy this feeling."

The reason why I willingly stayed behind the scenes was because I used to think it was worth it for Ariana. But now that I have discovered Ariana's ugly face, I feel it is not worth it.

"The photos and videos at the engagement banquet were all real, and Ariana wanted to distort the facts to win back her fans, which is truly disgusting. So I decided to expose her fake face. If anyone thinks I'm lying, they can simply ask her to sing without any background music, but she will definitely make excuses like feeling unwell or having vocal problems and refuse to sing. After that, she will bid farewell to the music industry."

Zoey walked towards the entrance of the gym while speaking.

"Over the past year, although we haven't met in person, I know that you all have loved my singing. Friends, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, may we meet again if fate allows!"

Zoey turned off the microphone and placed it on the lawn, along with the in-ear monitor and headset, before quickly walking away from the exit.

All the fans in the stadium were furious and shouted in unison, "Ariana is a big liar!"

Ariana fell to the ground in fright as she saw many glow sticks moving rapidly towards the stage.

Her legs went weak, and she couldn't muster any strength, crawling towards the backstage like a dog.

Afraid of inciting a brawl, Stephany quickly arranged for the staff to take Ariana away.

After all, with fifty thousand fans, even one person spitting on Ariana could drown her.

The PR manager of Born Beauty Entertainment took the stage to stabilize the situation, stating that these were all attempts by someone to smear Ariana.

But the fans didn't buy it, after all, seventy thousand people saw Ariana lip-syncing, and when she was exposed, Ariana's legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

Only people with guilty conscience would have such a reaction.

The PR manager had never experienced a situation of handling a public relations crisis involving fifty thousand people before. These past few days, the scandal of the intimate photos has made her extremely stressed, and now there is another complication. She is cursing Ariana in her mind.

Fortunately, the company provided her with a solution, double compensation for the tickets.

Some fans accepted it, while there were also some fans who did not accept it, protesting for Ariana to give everyone an explanation.

The scandal of Ariana's leaked photos has not yet passed, and now the lip-syncing controversy has been exposed.

All the hot searches on the internet were about her.

Born Beauty tried to find a hacker to remove the hot search, but it was in vain.

Nelson lay on the bed, watching Ariana's live performance, unable to contain his anger.

He didn't expect that Ariana had actually found a voice double, and moreover, the voice of the double sounded just like Zoey.

He had a faint suspicion in his heart, dialed Ariana's number, and it took a few tries before it connected.

"What happened? Weren't those songs sung by you? Was that voice Zoey's?"

Ariana cried pitifully, "Nelson, I am so sad. Actually, I was the one who sang the original demo. The company liked my voice and then packaged me. Later, for some unknown reason, I hurt my vocal cords after drinking the tea Zoey made. I can no longer sing. Zoey offered to be my vocal replacement as compensation. Now, thinking back, Zoey did it on purpose. She actually wanted to ruin me during my peak period."

"Is that so?"

At this moment, Nelson questioned Ariana's words for the first time. Ariana was extremely nervous. "Nelson, this is true! Just think about it, Zoey had an abortion at the age of fourteen and had promiscuous behavior. What kind of character does she have? She was sent abroad for eight years, and I treated her well out of pity. But as the saying goes, 'There is often something  blameworthy in those who appear pitiful.' Turns out she set me up. I thought she could change, but I didn't expect her to catch me off guard today."

Nelson thought for a moment and realized that he had indeed seen Zoey at the bar back then. It was normal for a woman like her, who had no self-control, to do anything.

"Ariana, don't worry, I will settle this matter for you. You can focus on your acting career from now on. I will make you a movie queen."

Ariana sniffed and laughed, "Nelson, I missed you. How is your injury?"

Nelson winced in pain as he moved, "Don't worry, I will make sure Zoey and Russell don't have it easy!"

The one he cursed was having a good time right now.

As soon as Zoey thought about Ariana being pushed into the fireline again, she felt relieved.

The parking lot outside the gym was filled with cars, and she walked along the sidewalk.

She took out her phone and checked, but it was out of battery.

Zoey thought, let's walk a little longer before taking a taxi back to Serene Manor.

At this moment, Brent, who was sitting in the car waiting, saw many people coming out of the gymnasium and got out of the car as well.

He eagerly looked around, but most of the people had already dispersed and Zoey didn't show up either.

He panicked and quickly called Russell.

"Mr. Russell, the concert ended, but I never saw Mrs. Maddox."

Russell hung up the phone and immediately called Zoey only to hear that her phone was powered off.

He took the laptop on the table and quickly typed on the keyboard with both hands.

The conference room fell silent, and the executives around the oval-shaped conference table secretly glanced at Russell.

Someone actually types so fast!

The phone was turned off, and under normal circumstances, the location could not be tracked. Only some special methods could be applied.

Russell's brow furrowed as Zoey's phone was encrypted, making it difficult to crack in a short period of time.

He closed the computer and looked at everyone. "I have finished reviewing the remaining plans, and there are ten points that need improvement. I have made annotations, and Troy will follow up on them later. The meeting is adjourned."

As soon as the words fell, Troy quickly pushed Russell and left.

The crowd: "..."

Did you finish reading such a thick document so quickly?

He truly is a business genius!

Surprisingly, Russell, who has always been calm and unaffected even by multi-billion projects, suddenly felt nervous. They couldn't help but wonder what could possibly affect this emotionally detached man.

After one night, news of Russell's fiancée spread like wildfire.

Could it be that his infamous fiancée has cuckolded him?

Woodmerrow and Eastrose were two hours away by car. Russell sat in the back seat, his brow furrowed with seriousness.

He ordered Troy, "Drive faster."

Troy glanced at his watch and it was already 108.
