And she also knew Vivian’s entire speech was aimed at stirring emotions and pressuring her.
Vivian’s PR team really knew how to create a scene. They always had something up their sleeves—and this time was no different.
But Millie only smiled faintly. Vivian’s plan wouldn’t work. She wouldn’t be walking into the audience. She would be walking onto the stage.
Her eyes drifted to Brandon.
He was still staring at the empty seat, brows slightly furrowed, clearly lost in thought.
A few rows down, Jayceon and Adriana had their heads together, whispering and giggling like kids plotting something. Myron sat quietly nearby, half-hidden in the shadows, unreadable.
“Now, let’s welcome today’s first contestant—Daphne!” the host announced, marking the true start of the final round.
The roar of the crowd swelled as Daphne made her entrance, basking in the spotlight.
The lights overhead slowly came to life, bathing the stage in a gentle glow as she began her performance.
Known as a rising star among the latest batch of contestants, Daphne’s powerful performance drew wave after wave of applause.
Meanwhile, behind the curtain, Millie waited patiently, while Barbara paced restlessly at her side.
This time, Millie would be the third to take the stage. Still, the running order felt insignificant—it was the grand finale of the show, with only three contenders left. To add excitement and fill the airtime for audience voting, the producers had also brought back previously eliminated contestants to reappear after the main performances.
Daphne, fresh from her set and brimming with satisfaction, wasted no time approaching Millie.

She squared her shoulders, holding her head high as she stopped right in front of Millie.
“The second contestant is already out there, you know. There’s still a window for you to back out if you want, Serena,” Daphne taunted, a sly grin spreading across her face.
Everyone nearby observed in silence, most casting curious looks in Millie’s direction.
Alex looked like he wanted to intervene, but in the end, he kept his thoughts to himself.
Right now, Millie understood she couldn’t afford to get sidetracked by Daphne. She rose from her seat, locking eyes with Daphne.
Spotting the smugness in Daphne’s smile, Millie responded with a small, unbothered grin of her own.
“I appreciate your concern,” Millie answered evenly. “But I won’t be needing it.”
Millie didn’t bother glancing back at Daphne. Instead, she strode purposefully toward the corridor that led to the stage, her mind made up.
Life was a series of unpredictable twists, and she knew it was impossible to win over everyone. All she could do was step forward and give her all, knowing she’d done right by herself. For her, that was more than enough.
