Chapter: 66
Lilliana's fans noticed that something was not right. They flooded the chat with comments, voicing their concerns.
Some fans questioned Lilliana's integrity, while others praised Alicia.
The votes for Alicia shot up on the big screen, quickly outpacing Lilliana's score.
The excitement soared both online and in person.
Alicia remained completely unfazed as she focused intently on her performance.
Once she finished singing, she quietly exited the stage, disregarding the chatter that rose around her.
People online started voicing out their comments. The crowd that once idolized Lilliana now turned against her.
"Did you see that? Alicia's votes surpassed Lilliana's! This is awesome! A renowned singer just lost to a newcomer."
"This is unbelievable! It sounds just like last year's hit! You can tell it's the same voice!"
“Do you think she's Lip-synching?"
"Or maybe, Lilliana was the one lip-synching all along! Ever since that song unexpectedly became popular last year, she hasn't released anything worthwhile. Don't you find that strange?"
“I've been saying this for a while. How can someone have just one hit song? It turns out she wasn't even the one singing!"
“Just listen to Lilliana's performance today. It sounds completely off!"
The noise grew louder and more intense.
Even the judges exchanged doubtful glances. Their skepticism was evident as they looked at Lilliana.
The high-profile celebrities that the Green family spent a fortune on could not handle the public scrutiny. They confronted Lilliana directly, demanding to know what was happening.
Lilliana's face had gone pale long before.
She clutched her stomach, unable to move.
Gerry enjoyed the spectacle and even took a moment to tease Caden.
"You lost, Caden. Don't forget to hand over the land."
Caden replied with a lazy smile, “Don't worry, I won't back out."
“You're smiling even after you've lost?" Gerry asked.
“Watching a good show for a piece of land is quite a bargain," Caden said with a shrug.
Caden's gaze shifted as he focused on a corner of the audience.
He noticed several suspicious figures with their hats pulled low.
They were listening intently to the Green family's patriarch.
After exchanging a few words, the group bowed and walked away.
Caden raised his eyebrows in curiosity and stood up.
Gerry craned his neck, eager to continue gossiping. "Where are you going?"
Joshua quickly took Lilliana away, worried about her and the baby.
