Chapter 291
Chapter 291:
He lowered his voice. “Give us a little something, and you can keep Mr. Watson. Otherwise… if he finds out what you’ve been hiding, I doubt it will be worth it.” He began to count. “One. Two. Th—”
“Fine,” Vivian snapped before he could finish.
Back in Serena’s dressing room, Millie found it strange that Vivian hadn’t made another move.
She exchanged a look with Charles.
He seemed puzzled as well.
This wasn’t like Vivian.
Just then, the sixth contestant finished their appeal. Commercials and variety clips rolled, giving both the live and online audiences time to cast their votes. Voting inside the venue moved steadily, while online voting was a heated race. Serena remained in first place, but the other contestants were closing in. Each had their own fanbase, and online voting allowed fans to cast multiple votes across different contestants.
Vivian finally emerged from the small room with a grim expression on her face. They had demanded ten million dollars.
Where was she supposed to find that kind of money so quickly? And even if she could, it wasn’t worth it.
“Miss Simpson,” the man had told her, “you can transfer two million now. The rest? Get it from Brandon. With his wealth, ten million won’t be a problem.”

At that moment, Millie sensed something was off.
“What’s happening? Who are these people? Why are they helping us all of a sudden?” Barbara asked, her voice filled with confusion.
A new, unknown force had suddenly appeared online.
In just minutes, all the earlier rumors vanished.
“Should we keep going?” Charles asked quietly.
Millie shook her head.
The result was already clear. There was no need to push further. For more chapters visit
