Chapter 769
Chapter 769:
A stubborn streak kept Vivian from backing down, even though she knew he was right.
Her drive wasn’t just about winning—it was about beating Millie at any cost.
Every scheme could have worked perfectly if Millie hadn’t stepped in.
None of these setbacks would have happened if Millie hadn’t thrown a wrench into her plans, and by now, Vivian would have seen her rival ruined.
Thinking about Eugene, Vivian pictured her future as Brandon’s wife beginning with removing Eugene from the picture entirely.
Awareness of her intentions didn’t rattle Eugene in the slightest, though he could sense what she wanted.
Years of working beside Brandon had left him not just loyal, but genuinely admiring the man.
Lately, that unwavering loyalty had started to crack under the weight of recent events.
Tasks once done without hesitation now filled him with reluctance.
The thought of stepping away for a long rest suddenly seemed tempting.
Meanwhile, the clock kept moving.
Crowds were still pushing their way into the concert venue.
Vivian and Millie’s confrontation had just happened thirty minutes ago.
While they waited in line, fans stayed glued to their phones, following the drama online.
At this point, the poll remained open, but no one was willing to cast a vote against Vivian’s singing.
Every vote cast so far stood firmly in favor of her performance.
The situation had taken on an almost unreal quality. Vivian’s supporters had grown increasingly fanatical, and even people who disliked Millie were now rallying behind Vivian’s cause, losing their sense of reason along the way.

After a short talk with Brandon and Eugene, Vivian stepped back in front of the camera. “We’re not finished yet. Let’s get back to the stream p>
Once she returned inside the villa, a fresh message scrolled across the chat: “Whatever excuse you’re clinging to, you can still back down. Own up to Millie with a real apology, and maybe you’ll still have a chance to fix this p>
Vivian only tilted her lips in a mocking smile. “I haven’t done anything wrong, so I won’t be apologizing,” she retorted. “In fact, I’m going to sing ‘Glimmer of Love’ later p>
The moment she finished, she launched a countdown, getting ready to sing. Those who opposed her on the stream grew frustrated, convinced she was refusing to listen and determined to push forward out of sheer pride.
Meanwhile, Millie and her friends caught sight of Vivian’s display while on their way back to the concert. The sound of Vivian’s singing made Giffard tense in his seat.
Instead of reacting with alarm, Millie gave a firm shake of her head. “Giffard, her petty theatrics aren’t where our focus needs to be right now p>
Since their public statement had already gone out, no supporter of Millie’s would be tricked into sending Vivian gifts again. What truly mattered at that moment was Giffard’s own problem.
