Chapter 161
Chapter 161:
Just then, a video clip began circulating online. The footage, shot from afar, captured Vivian chatting with Brandon and the three members of the Elliott family, all of them appearing friendly and relaxed. A bold caption ran across the screen, saying, “Vivian has officially joined the ranks of high society; the Elliott siblings showed up at the live broadcast just for her.”
That single video sparked a fresh wave of online chatter about Vivian. Strict rules about electronic devices only applied to regular audience members, leaving people like the Elliott siblings free to use their phones as they wished. Jayceon quickly caught wind of the viral post. He scowled at his phone and showed it to his siblings. “Who took this video? It’s ridiculous!”
Myron stayed quiet, showing no reaction, while Adriana shrugged and replied, “There’s always some rumor going around here and there. You shouldn’t let it get to you.”
Still, her eyes narrowed thoughtfully as she glanced toward the backstage area where Vivian was preparing. Adriana couldn’t help but wonder if it was really all just a coincidence.
Jayceon, unaware of the tension, kept talking. “You’re right. Last time they wrote nonsense and tried to match me with the McCoy daughter. Her brother came to confront me, and I almost had a heart attack.”
That sparked Adriana’s curiosity. “So, what did you think of her? If you actually liked her, why not spend more time together?”
Jayceon flushed with embarrassment. “Adriana!”
Her laughter bubbled up as she continued to tease her younger brother. Spending time with him felt like playing with a big, cheerful golden retriever. Still, those moments hardly mattered in the grand scheme of things.

Now that the eliminations were about to begin, the outcome would depend on a mix of votes from the judges, the live audience, and online viewers, all tallied during the broadcast to decide who would have to leave. Because of this, the order in which contestants performed was more important than ever.
Millie was set to go on stage fifth, placing her right in the middle of the lineup.

The latest Heavenly Melody broadcast was just as dazzling as the last. All the contestants showed clear improvement over their first live appearance. Every performance was thoughtfully planned and visually appealing.
This high level of quality came about, at least in part, because Vivian had decided not to pull any strings this round, a fact that the audience was unaware of.
Millie chose a gentle rock ballad called “Us” for her performance. Her outfit, though much simpler than her previous one, worked well with the stage’s shifting lights. She sang with a soft voice, letting the music tell a moving story.
The song traced the journey of a young couple getting by with very little, relying only on each other as they faltered and struggled in life. Over time, as life moved on, they ended up going separate ways, leaving behind the person they once cherished most.
Although it sounded like a cliché story about love facing hardship, Millie’s honest lyrics, storytelling style, and the subtle rock melody gave it a quiet sadness that lingered with the listeners.
