Based on the agreed presentation, Tiffany had to “hesitate” for nine seconds to whet the audience’s appetite before making a decision.Then, a clear, resounding voice rang from the loudspeaker. “If you’re going to hesitate so much, I’ll sing with you.”Tiffany’s expression immediately stiffened.‘Charlotte Simmons! I’ll never forget that woman’s voice!’Tiffany turned toward her in shock. As expected, she saw Charlotte walking toward her.‘Wait! The stage is crawling with security. How’d she manage to get all the way up here? One more thing. That microphone she’s using isn’t a stage microphone. How’d she manage to connect that to the public address system?’The thousands of people in the audience were instantly silenced. Everyone stared in shock at the woman who had appeared out of nowhere.“I thought you loved every single one of your fans, Miss Tiffany? I thought you’d welcome any fan who wanted to sing with you onstage with open arms? I’m a fan too… but you don’t seem very
Zachary, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Charlotte, who could be seen on stage from a distance. He curled the corners of his lips into an angle, feeling intrigued. “She wouldn’t be my wife if she hadn’t done this.”‘What?’Lucas widened his eyes into the shape of lightbulbs. “But… Sir, what if Mrs. Connor does go viral? Who’s going to deal with…”“She has me.” Zachary’s handsome face was calm, and his voice was sublime yet indolent.“Let her do whatever she wants. I don’t even care if she ends up going viral. Why should you?”‘Uh…’ Lucas gaped.So, not only was Zachary prone to jealousy when it came to his wife, but he enjoyed cleaning up her messes too!‘Why haven’t I seen that side of him before?’The security personnel backstage had initially planned on escorting Charlotte, the gatecrashing fan, off stage. However, when Tiffany readily agreed to sing with Charlotte, they changed their minds.Charlotte and Tiffany were going to sing a song called “A Medi
“What are you waiting for? Turn on the music. Let’s karaoke.”“There’s no rush!” Charlotte, who had been standing shoulder to shoulder with Tiffany, facing the audience, suddenly turned around and looked at Tiffany. At that moment, her gaze sharpened. “I have a rule for this karaoke contest. You have to promise me that if I win, I’ll ask you three questions in front of your legion of fans, and you’ll have to answer me truthfully.”Tiffany was in shock.‘He he…’If everything had gone according to plan, Charlotte would have avoided Bryson and Tiffany like the plague, as she’d severed all ties with him. Thus, from the moment Charlotte had arrived, Tiffany had known that Michael must have told Charlotte the truth and she must have come to seek vengeance. However, she was not afraid.Bryson had spent a lot of money on a famous composer to compose the song “A Medieval Odyssey” for Tiffany. It had been tailor-made for her to ensure her rise to stardom. It was also the song that she wa
The song’s melodious tune began playing in the concert hall once again. Naturally, Tiffany, the host, was the first to sing.It was an artistically beautiful version of “The Medieval Odyssey”. After Tiffany finished singing, the artificial intelligence system gave her performance a 97% rating. The applause was thunderous. Tiffany silently heaved a sigh of relief too. She might be the original singer of The Medieval Odyssey, but singing in a recording studio and live in concert were two different things. In a recording studio, she could always re-record the song if she sang it wrong, and they could retouch the audio too. In concert, she only had one chance. A mistake was a mistake.Therefore, Tiffany’s highest score in the system whenever she’d sung this song in karaoke lounges had been 96%. To her surprise, she had surpassed that score today.‘Well, it’s just Charlotte’s dumb luck! 97%! That’s an unsurpassable rating!’Charlotte, an inexperienced outsider who had never trained
In order for Charlotte to surpass Tiffany’s rating, she had to be perfect from start to end. Otherwise, he’d still have to be ready for her…Zachary would listen to music from time to time to relieve stress. Thus, he was usually quite relaxed whenever he listened to music.However, for the first time ever, Zachary felt like a rubber band being stretched further and further as he listened to every second of this song.Every lyric that Charlotte sang tugged at his heartstrings… This was not because of how beautiful her voice was, but because he was worried that she would make a mistake.Finally, she reached the end of the song.The rating system automatically flashed a 99% rating.The enormous Midsummer Plaza contained more than 3,000 spectators. Every single one of them was silent.Tiffany stared in a daze at the rating on the big screen. Her already sickly, pale face was now even paler than ever.“Oh my god! 99%! She’s actually received more than a 90% rating! No one expected h
“I would never go back on my word. Ask away.”Tiffany pushed her hatred away and put on a calm, sincere front. She did not seem vexed about losing the contest at all.Charlotte got to the point without hesitation. “First question: Five years ago, you were living peacefully in Burasia with your family. Why the sudden return to Rothesay ten months ago?”“Huh? Is that true? Tiffany only returned to the country ten months ago?”“Eh… Hang on! Even super-fans like us aren’t aware of this secret. How’d this woman find out about it? Is she here to expose Tiffany’s secrets?”This was only Charlotte’s first question, yet it had already caused a huge uproar among the audience.“My past is clean. There’s no need to poke around,” Tiffany hurriedly replied. “Yes, it’s true. I moved to Burasia with my parents five years ago, but my nationality remains the same. This is my native land. It’s where I come from. During my time away from the country, I was like a wandering ghost. I missed my hometow
“Tiffany, I’m not going to continue this charade with you anymore. Our connections run deep. Your fiancé was my useless ex-husband, who abandoned me. Are you sure we’re strangers?”“Holy… sh*t! She’s here to make Tiffany pay for what she’s done to her!”“Based on what she’s said, Tiffany must have stolen her husband from her…”“Weren’t you listening? She said her useless husband abandoned her because of Tiffany!”“Uh… What on earth is going on?”The audience was in an uproar.Bryson’s face became even more sullen than ever.Zachary, on the other hand, was smirking.Tiffany had never thought that Charlotte would be mad enough to expose her completely. She stared at Charlotte in shock, unable to say anything at all. Only her small hand, which was holding the microphone, was shaking uncontrollably.“My name is Charlotte Simmons! That’s right, I’m the girl all those rumors talked about. The one who was kicked to the curb after giving birth to Bryson’s child.”Charlotte mercilessl
‘But where is Bryce?’She needed him to show himself and stand up for her now more than ever. Why hadn’t he come on stage?Furthermore, the security guards should have rushed on stage and forced Charlotte to leave when she had asked her first aggressive question. ‘Why isn’t anyone helping me? What’s my entourage doing?’Tiffany’s fans were staring at her and waiting for Bryce to make an appearance and prove her innocence.However, Bryson never appeared on stage.Meanwhile, Bryson was panicking, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.He had already heard about Charlotte’s exposé from Michael. Even though he believed in Tiffany’s innocence, he had personally flown to Burasia to investigate just to shut Michael up…In the end, those who knew Tiffany had simply showered her with praise. No one had mentioned anything about Michael’s accusations…Michael was really fond of Charlotte, and his accusations were excusable. However, what could possibly have gotten into him? Wh
