Ch. 361..370

Chapter 361

Seeing the audience present leave, those watching the livestream mocked Audrey even more unrestrainedly.

[Wow, this will be the peak of Audie's fame in her entire life.]

[I wonder how big of an impact this will have on Audie's husband.]

The fans of Audrey were extremely disappointed with her, and many young girls hugged and cried in the crowd.

Seeing this, Raeyon was so excited that she couldn't contain herself, hoping that the crowd's gossip would overwhelm Audrey.

Meanwhile, Audrey noticed everyone's emotions, but she remained calm and composed.

She knew that explanations wouldn't help at this point. It was better to be honest and acknowledge her relationship with Alistair, which might reduce the show's losses at least.

With this in mind, Audrey picked up the microphone again and took a deep breath as she looked at the audience.

She explained, "I'm sorry to disappoint everyone. I apologize for dragging the show into my personal matters. I know I can't make up for the mistakes I've made, so when this is over, I'm willing to step down..."

Someone whispered at this moment, "Oh my God, why is JA on stage?"

"What's happening, why is JA rushing like he's afraid someone's going to take his wife away?"

Audrey hadn't finished speaking when she noticed the audience suddenly became restless, and her announcement of leaving the show was interrupted.

Feeling curious, she followed everyone's excited gazes and saw a tall man confidently striding towards her, who was backlit by the stage lights.

The audience was suddenly in a complete frenzy, and the earlier speculations resurfaced.

"Could it be that the man secretly meeting with Audie is actually JA?"

"Wow, in front of so many people, the adulterer still dares to get on stage, how exciting!"

Everyone found this scene

unbelievable. Moreover, the critics became even more indiscriminate attacking Audrey and maliciously speculating that their relationship was purely a financial transaction.

"I never expected JA would actually spend money on a mistress and even be so blatant about it, following

her onto a TV show. I wonder what his wife thinks seeing this scene?"

"It's so disgusting. I originally shipped them, but this is just gross!"

"They both have families and still get involved in such a mess. It's truly indescribable."

The Harper family heard all of those malicious words. Despite the risk of being insulted together, they

were about to speak up in response.

However, at this moment, Alistair

walked over to Audrey's side, and he

firmly held her hand amidst the

intense gossip. The once noisy

audience suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, someone cursed in a low voice, "What a cocky guy!"

However, Alistair ignored the others, simply taking the microphone from Audrey and giving her a reassuring smile.

After that, he solemnly addressed the audience, "I'm sorry to take up your time, but I want to make it clear that there's no financial transaction between Audrey and me.

"I didn't pay to support her. She advanced from the preliminary round on merit, not because of any behind-the-scenes manipulation!"

His clarification was focused entirely on explaining for Audrey, without considering himself at all.

The audience still didn't realize what happened. However, no sooner had Alistair said this than Raeyon couldn't hold back anymore.

She rushed on stage and loudly

mocked, "You dare to hold Audie's hand in front of everyone, yet you claim there's no improper

relationship? As a grown man, net

don't even have the courage to admit your actions, do you? Just a coward!"

The audience was stirred up again when they heard this, joining Raeyon in criticizing Alistair and Audrey.

Seeing this, Raeyon instantly felt even more smug, placing her hands on her hips as she righteously criticized Alistair, "Do you live up to your wife by doing this?"

 

Chapter 362

At this moment, Audrey lifted a hand to touch the tip of her nose, with an inexplicably odd expression. Seeing this, Raeyon felt more confident than ever.

Meanwhile, Alistair let out a mocking laugh, glancing at Raeyon with a cold gaze. "I really don't deserve my wife," he calmly replied.

As soon as Raeyon heard this, her expression brightened, and she was about to continue to speak. However, Alistair didn't give her a chance to speak. "If it weren't for my lack of self-control, my wife wouldn't have to face these misunderstandings or endure the hateful insults," he continued with self- reproach.

Hearing this, Raeyon slightly furrowed.

She wondered, 'Why does something feel off to me? Why is JA looking at Audrey while saying all this? It's almost as if Audrey were his wife.'

Just as Raeyon realized it, Alistair looked at Audrey with deep affection. "I'm sorry, Audie. I didn't expect to tell everyone your identity in this way, which made you feel wronged," he said.

As soon as he said this, the audience was in an uproar. The fans who previously doubted whether the man in the photo was JA were completely stunned.

Some uninformed haters seized the opportunity to say, "JA and Audie are really gross. They're both married, yet they flaunt their affection so openly."

"That's so immoral. People with such bad character should be canceled!"

Alistair, ignoring everything else, stepped onto the stage and grabbed Audrey's hand, instantly bringing the atmosphere to its climax.

The haters kept cursing and attacking, and some fans who were about to leave stopped, pointing at the couple on stage with tearful eyes, and scolded them.

However, some rational fans couldn't believe that JA and Audrey would be so unethical, speaking up for them.

"Relationships in this world aren't just about sugar relationships. Maybe they really are married!" This statement immediately sparked more sarcasm and mockery.

"You guys have vivid imaginations! If they're married, why are they acting like strangers? It's clearly a shady relationship!"

"If they're really married, I'll wash my hair upside down."

"Come on, wake up, supporters! Why are you still backing them? How much has Audie given you as benefits?"

"I can't help but suspect that those who are still defending Audie are the same type, who are married but still fooling around."

The scene erupted into chaos with haters and loyal fans arguing intensely.

The fans of Raeyon were out for revenge. They were so fired up, who practically wanted to hand out a death sentence to Audrey and Alistair in order to make room for their favorite, Raeyon.

In the midst of the chaos, Alistair lightly tapped his fingers on the microphone, and his cool and clear voice flowed through the

high-quality sound system, reaching every corner of the venue.

"I'm sorry for keeping this from everyone. There's no sugar daddy relationship between Audrey and me. We're actually legally married," he explained.

This statement was like dropping a bomb. Everyone, including the haters and the audience, as well as their fans, was struck speechless.

It was as if someone hit the pause button, and the entire hall went dead silent. The expressions on everyone's face are quite intriguing.

Alistair on the stage gently held Audrey's hand the entire time.

"Honey, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not

thinking this through, making you're

caught up in this mess. I'll punish myself when we get home, so please don't be mad at me." he said

to Audrey, looking regretful and

guilty.

Audrey was speechless. Instead, she blinked hesitantly, staring blankly at the man in front of her.

Chapter 363

"Even though I used the wrong methods to get here, I have no regrets. If I waited any longer, someone might have taken my wife away, since an old guy like me can feel the pressure," Alistair continued, not giving her a chance to react.

When Alistair said this, his eyes showed a touch of self-mockery and reluctance. "Moreover, just after getting married, my wife went on the show, leaving me all alone at home.

"That's one thing, but suddenly, so many 'rivals in love' popped up trying to steal my wife away. Honestly, it's hard for an old guy not to get jealous," he said in a downcast tone.

"Besides, honestly, I just wanted to make an appearance on the show to declare my position and maybe guide my wife myself. If anyone wants to blame someone, blame me. Please don't scold my wife anymore. She didn't know about it beforehand," he added.

This deeply heartfelt confession shocked everyone on the scene once again.

No one expected that the mysterious idol JA, who took the entertainment world by storm a decade ago, would be so anxious and insecure about love. Everyone believed that JA must really like his wife a lot. JA's fans finally snapped out of it, starting to shout excitedly.

"Wow, it's clear he's got the habit of punishing himself at home. His status in the household is pretty obvious."

"I always thought JA was all cool and mysterious, but he acts like a clingy puppy around his wife. It's really disillusioning."

"This is what it means to be a real and relatable person. Honestly, I used to think JA was too out of reach. I even thought he was just a dream and didn't really exist, but now I finally feel a genuine connection."

"This is great, JA finally found someone he loves. When I used to listen to his song, I always felt he'd end up alone, but luckily Audie doesn't mind him!"

"I just noticed that JA said his wife didn't know he was going to be on the show."

"Does this mean Audie doesn't know her husband is JA?"

"Married to the dream guy of countless girls, oh my gosh, I really want to know what Audie thinks when she learns the truth."

"Girl, you enlightened me! I'm going to check out the livestream replay right now!"

"When Audie saw on the show that JA is actually her husband, there must have been so many sweet details we didn't catch!"

"Besides, there was another detail. After Audie finished her first-stage performance, she didn't even stay for the celebration party. I bet she went home to take care of JÁ!"

"JA must have been at the scene, and we just didn't notice. I'm going back to watch the initial performance livestream recording closely."

Alistair's heartfelt words not only

cleared Audrey of the rumors that

she was relying on a wealthy

sponser to climb the ranks, but also thrilled their fans, driving them to squeal with excitement.

1.net?

Everyone, whether in the livestream chat or the live audience, was eagerly recalling whether they missed any sweet moments, since the real couple was just too aderable. en FindNovel

However, some people remained doubtful about this explanation. "Impossible, how could they really be married?"

"I don't believe it either. It's definitely just a crisis PR stunt."

Some believed that Alistair and Audrey were truly married, while others thought it was all an act they planned from the beginning to gain attention.

The chat in the livestream was filled with many naysayers.

"Another one trying to play the perfect husband role, not gonna last."

"Maybe they are actually married, but claiming they didn't know in advance is so fake. If they're a real couple, how could she not know what her husband is up to?"

"This couple would do anything for attention. They have no shame."

"Don't be so harsh. Even without all this drama, Audie and JA already get plenty of attention."

Chapter 364

However, the haters were few in number after all, and they couldn't even compare to the overwhelming wave of couple fans and genuine supporters.

At first, those couple fans felt guilty about shipping two married celebrities. However, when they found out the two were actually married, their excitement soared.

Audrey's fans showered the livestream with blessings, who were clearly satisfied with JA as their "son-in- law".

However, a significant number of JA's fans looked down on Audrey, some even causing trouble under his fan name during the livestream.

"Doesn't anyone think that Audie is totally out of JA's league?"

Some conspiracy theorists added, "How did an unknown person in the entertainment world manage to get JA to defend her so fiercely? Has JA been manipulated by her?"

"Seriously, are you fans or just delusional dreamers? If Audie isn't a match for JA, do you think you are?" "That's' so ridiculous, come on! JA's an older guy, and our Audie is youthful, talented, and famous. Why wouldn't she be a perfect match for him?"

"Audie's just a social media star. Her fame won't last. JA is the real talent here, so she doesn't compare at all. Audie's fans should relax."

The fans of Audie and JA used to get along well, but now they were at each other's throats, pointing out flaws.

If this continued, they might end up as enemies.

JA's biggest fan, Ximena, was quite level-headed. She didn't want the two fan groups to become rivals, so she quickly stepped in to keep things calm.

[Girls, stop arguing! Let's not make a spectacle for everyone else.]

Ximena had been a long-time fan of JA, and many people recognized her. As soon as she spoke, a group

of fans gathered around, saying, [Ximena, aren't you upset? We aren't wrong, right? How does Audie even match up to JA?]

[We just want JA to have more happiness, not to be with someone unknown and feel insecure.]

[JA used to be such a reasonable person, but now Audie has him acting love-struck. It's just unbearable.]

After reading her fellow fans' comments, Ximena calmly posted her comment.

[Honestly, I think Audie is pretty awesome. I admire her talent and also like her straightforward personality.

[JA has always been so low-key over

the years. It's rare for him to openly admit he's married. If we don't respect and wish them well, he. might choose to step back for his wife's peace, and then we really won't see him anymore.] Upon hearing this, JA's fans instantly panicked. It was as if they had a revelation, and they quickly changed their tune, collectively. agreeing that JA's wife was outstanding and that she and JA were a perfect match.

"Audie, I was blind! You and JA are perfect, even better than a fairy-tale match!"

"Please don't be upset with us, Audie. If you can, try to convince JA to come out more often. We only have this one digital heartthrob and can't have him disappear on us again."

Many people squinted at this scene, mocking that JA's fans they changed their tunes so quickly.

Audie's fans wore proud expressions, suggesting to the JA fans not to be so eager in praising Audie.

"Audie is ours. If you want to suck up, you'll have to line up behind us."

"Alright, alright, from now on, let your crew have their turn on Monday, ours on Sunday, and the rest of the time can be for our JA, okay? Please, we're begging you."

Instead of getting upset, JA's fans acted like big sisters, indulging Audie's fans in their little emotional outbursts.

For a moment, the chat was in complete harmony.

Some JA's fans took the chance to

tease, "Our boy is too hard. With such an amazing girlfriend, he has to ward off both guys and girls. No wonder he rushed to the show to

claim his place! I'd do the same."

Chapter 365

With fans from both sides managing the comments, the abusive and slanderous remarks quickly disappeared.

On the stage, the host, seeing the commotion had settled, quickly eased the mood with a chuckle, "Audie, is it a hassle having such a clingy husband?"

Audrey's lips curled into a gentle smile as she looked right at the man beside her. She was well aware that Alistair was protecting her in his own way.

Even if he had to face everyone's criticism, he would keep her spotless, away from any dirt. Thinking this, she felt touched. "It's a bit of a hassle, but it's sweet too. I love how attached he is to me," she replied with a smile.

Her words, which seemed resigned but were actually full of affection, stirred up cheers and applause from the audience.

"I believe they are a real couple now. That sweet and affectionate tone can only come from a real wife!" Even the fans and viewers who had previously doubted them now believed they were genuinely married. The atmosphere became harmonious. The audience waved their glow sticks and gave heartfelt blessings to Audrey and Alistair.

Those who had previously wronged and insulted them, though embarrassed, expressed their apologies. After a series of disturbances, the chaos came to an end, allowing the show to be recorded smoothly. The host breathed a sigh of relief while listening to Audrey's confession to Alistair, who chuckled and joked, "I never thought I'd be forced to see so much PDA while hosting a talent show. Is there no justice anymore?"

With this bit of joking around, the tense atmosphere quickly lightened. Some eager audience members wanted more excitement.

"Kiss! Kiss!" people chanted.

Audrey and Alistair heard the chants, each showing different expressions.

"Look at JA's little expression; it seems like he's really looking forward to it. Look, he is glancing shyly at his wife, waiting for a kiss at any moment."

"Wow, our Audie is so innocent. She's blushing."

Seeing this, JA's fans teased as well, urging Audie to give JA a chance.

"Even kissing his own wife has to be done in secret. If Audie doesn't make it official today, JA might be too upset to sleep. Audie, just give him a quick kiss."

"Audie, this guy looks like he's falling apart. Come on, give him a kiss! Don't worry, we're not jealous!"

"All JA did was sneak a kiss with his own wife, and you all scolded him so much. Audie, please kiss him, and we love to see it!"

"Hurry up, kiss him heavily!"

Audrey knew all this teasing was playful. She could handle it, but her face still turned a bit red with embarrassment.

Ignoring Alistair's puppy-dog eyes, she picked up the mic shyly, saying, "I've already taken up too much of the show's time with my personal matters, so let's move on to the next contestant."

en FindNovel

She wasn't keen on letting so many people watch her and Alistair kiss on stage.

Although Alistair felt a bit disappointed, he didn't oppose Audrey's words. He just gently squeezed her fingers to show his feelings.

Instead, Audrey squeezed his hand back and started to lead him off the stage.

Seeing their embarrassment, the audience's teasing grew even louder.

The host snapped back to reality, and then he stepped in to calm the situation and prepared Raeyon to come on stage.

In the backstage waiting area, Raeyon's face was twisted with anger, and her gaze filled with a fierce unwillingness.

She could never have imagined that her well-crafted plans would only end up benefiting Audrey, allowing her to show off publicly while gaining attention.

Her painstaking efforts had come to nothing. Seeing Alistair carefully helping Audrey off the stage only made her even more consumed with jealousy.

She thought, 'I'm certainly much

prettier than Audie, with a better figure too. So why does Audie get to marry the handsome and talented JA, while I have to entertain all these pot-bellied men?'

Raeyon clenched her fist tightly, the sharp pain of her nails digging into her palm brought her back to her senses. She made a secret vow to overpower Audrey with her own strength.

Even if it were controversial, she would get to seize this wave of attention.

Chapter 366

Raeyon finally let loose. She wore a dress with a slit up to her thigh. The daring dance moves often risked a wardrobe malfunction, but she became even bolder instead of being embarrassed.

She boldly threw flirty glances at the audience, deliberately lifting her skirt, which was the height of tastelessness.

"Wow, what's Raeyon trying to pull? This is a legitimate stage, not some sleazy bar where she's hustling!" "Having a rival like this really lowers Audie's standards."

While Audrey was on stage raising awareness for children with autism, Raeyon was behaving

provocatively. People all had their own judgements immediately.

As expected, the comment section erupted with criticism. However, there were also people who loved Raeyon's style. Many guys went crazy over her.

"I just love someone who's confident and bold. Those who squirm on stage without showing anything just make me feel gross."

"Raeyon's doing everyone a favor. She's stunning! Some people just don't have the body to pull it off." Amidst the chaos, inappropriate comments flooded in, with some even trying to auction Raeyon off. Some people were even taking out their phones to film Raeyon, attempting capture revealing footage.

After finishing her dance, Raeyon achieved her aim of gaining notoriety.

As the dance ended, Raeyon stood in the middle of the stage, breathing softly and batting her eyes coquettishly at the judges. She playfully asked them to go easy on her and give her high scores.

She even giggled and said, "I'm sure all three judges are professionals and won't be like those who think my dance is vulgar, right?"

Yann rubbed his forehead and shook his head slightly. He was clearly annoyed by Raeyon, unwilling to look at her again. The other two judges were left utterly speechless too.

Many male audience members kept cheering for Raeyon, urging her to perform again and saying they hadn't seen enough. Someone even boldly suggested a strip show.

Seeing the audience's wild excitement, Raeyon felt a slight sense of pride. She thought, 'See? I have admirers too."

However, before she could continue to gloat, a group of plump and well-dressed women suddenly rushed the stage.

"Raeyon, you temptress! How dare you seduce my man? I'll destroy you!" they exclaimed.

With a sudden shriek, those women charged onto the stage, pinning Raeyon to the ground.

They didn't give Raeyon a chance to speak and immediately started pulling her hair and yanking at her clothes.

"Aren't you the one who likes to

show off? You little hussy, I'll give et

you all the exposure you

women kept cursing. Cet

The incident happened so fast that nobody reacted. They just stared blankly at the chaos on stage.

"Oh, my god, help!" Raeyon shouted.

She curled up on the ground, holding onto her clothes tightly.

There were a lot of them, who hated her so much that they gritted their teeth. Countless slaps fell on Raeyon's face.

Raeyon felt her face was scratched and she had been hit hard in the chest twice, almost making her pass

out.

Despair and humiliation mixed as

Raeyon cried and begged for mercy, but she didn't obtain a trace of sympathy at all. She could only look for help without strength, hoping someone would heroically come to her rescue.

However, whether it was the production team or the audience, everyone just watched coldly.

"Could this be another one of Raeyon's crazy stunts? She's really willing to go all out for attention." "This catfight is way more entertaining than her dance!"

"I don't think they're acting. It really looks like they're trying to tear Raeyon's clothes off."

"Well, if it's real, it is what it is. She deserves it. Didn't you hear about her flirting with someone else's man?"

"The woman holding Raeyon down seems to be Andrew's wife."

"Oh my gosh, it's really her! I've seen Andrew's wife before, and it's definitely her."

"The scandal between Andrew and Raeyon has been out for so long and Andrew's wife was silent the whole time. It turns out she was preparing a big counterattack. Wow!"

"Well done! The best way to deal with shameless person like her is to ruin her life publicly!"

Chapter 367

All the fans watched the farce. Raeyon's male fans didn't help her but eagerly waited for her to be stripped. They wanted to see it.

As the last shred of dignity was about to be ripped away in public, Raeyon let out a desperate scream. She writhed in agony like a fish on a chopping block. Tears streamed down her face.

Raeyon sobbed, "Please let me go! I'm wrong. I'll never dare do it again."

Andrew's wife snorted and scolded, "You homewrecker, don't play the victim! I regarded you as my friend.

I brought you home and introduced you to opportunities, but you seduced my husband. Do you think I will be softhearted?"

The next moment, Andrew's wife raised her hand high and slapped Raeyon's face again.

Raeyon felt hurt and hopeless.

When Raeyon thought she'd be stripped, she suddenly saw Audrey standing behind the stage.

When Raeyon met Audrey's gaze, tears began to flow uncontrollably from Raeyon's eyes again. Raeyon bit her lip in embarrassment.

Audrey calmly looked away and said to Kieran who was watching the farce, "Why are you still watching? Go to get Raeyon down from there."

When Kieran heard this, a trace of confusion flashed through his eyes.

Kieran frowned and asked in confusion, "Raeyon treated you poorly. She deserves it. Why do you want me to help her?"

Audrey looked again at Raeyon who was in a mess on stage.

Audrey said tonelessly, "Raeyon has faced the consequences for her actions. If you don't stop it, it'll get out of hand, and the show program won't be able to handle it. You don't want the show to be shut down, do you?"

Kieran was shocked. He had been too caught up in the farce to realize the seriousness of the situation. Thanks to Audrey's reminder, he came back to his senses.

If Raeyon got stripped on stage, it would damage the show's reputation.

Kieran didn't dare hesitate any longer and ordered someone to rescue Raeyon.

Andrew's wife had vented her anger. When she saw the show's staff step in, she decided not to escalate the situation further.

Andrew's wife shrugged off a staff member, looked down at Raeyor on the stage, and sharply warned, "Raeyen, you better not get into my hands again or I'll make sure you regret it!"

Andrew's wife finally felt some relief and let the staff member guide her away.

Jake, the host, stepped in to stabilize the situation and announced that the PK match would continue. Although the audience was still curious about the farce, they soon got captivated by the new performances on stage.

A few minutes later, no one cared about what happened to Raeyon. They just saw her as a joke. Raeyon was dragged backstage. She was almost naked and covered only by a piece of torn cloth.

She cried so hard she could hardly

catch her breath. Her face was

bruised and battered. Her disheveled hair made her a far cry from the glamorous celebrity she used to be.

A crowd surrounded her and watched the farce. Their gazes were like sharp knives that stabbed into Raeyon's heart.

Raeyon couldn't bear their pitying and mocking whispers and screamed in despair, "Get lost! I don't need your pity!"

Startled by her outburst, the crowd scattered.

In the next moment, someone rushed in from outside. It was Raeyon's agent.

Raeyon said, "Valerie..."

Seeing a familiar face, Raeyon wanted to throw herself into Valerie's arms and cry. However, Raeyon was abruptly pushed aside.

Valerie came here not to comfort her.

Feeling Valerie's coldness, Raeyon felt uneasy and pleaded softly for help, "Valerie, you finally came. Please get me out of here."

Raeyon didn't want to embarrass herself here anymore.

Valerie remained silent and looked

down at Raeyon as if she were judging Rayon's remaining value. Then Valerie said without

l.ne

expression, "Raeyon, the company sent me here to terminate your contract."

 

Chapter 368

Raeyon's pupil suddenly contracted in shock.

Valerie said in a cold voice, "You are at fault and have damaged the company's reputation. From now on, you won't just be blacklisted across the industry, but you'll also have to pay a huge penalty. Be prepared." Raeyon broke down and shouted, "No! This isn't true! I don't believe it!"

Raeyon covered her ears tightly with her hands and refused to listen to Valerie.

Valerie looked at Raeyon calmly. After Raeyon stopped shouting, Valerie said, "You've stirred up trouble this time and offended the person who can't be trifled with.

"The company won't support you anymore, Raeyon. You could have a promising future, but your jealousy and narrow-mindedness have ruined you."

Valerie didn't have to say these things to Raeyon.

It was only because of the bond from the two years they worked together that Valerie gave this final

advice and hoped Raeyon might abandon her jealousy and stop causing trouble.

But Raeyon didn't listen to Valerie's words.

Raeyon thought, 'The company won't abandon me heartlessly.

'After all, I'm the boss's favorite. The company has smoothed over many scandals for me.

'Why can't the company help me this time?

'How can it be possible that I have offended the person who can't be trifled with?

'Jason is just a washed-up idol. Ten years ago, he was famous, but now he has no place in the entertainment industry. Why should the company be afraid of him?

'That's just an excuse.'

Raeyon knew it but didn't dare to argue. She clung to Valerie's hand and pleaded, "Valerie, please take me back to the company.

"Let me see Mr. Downey. He won't give up on me so easily. I can still bring value to the company!"

Valerie said coldly, "Mr. Downey ordered to blacklist you. It's useless to beg him. Just accept it."

Hearing this, Raeyon fainted in fright.

Seeing her like that, Valerie just shook her head indifferently.

Valerie thought, 'If she knew the results earlier, would she still do those things?'

Before Valerie left, she called an ambulance for Raeyon and closed their two-year working relationship on a respectable note.

No sooner had Raeyon been taken by the ambulance than the news of her contract termination spread like wildfire backstage.

Audrey heard some rumors as well.

Audrey wasn't interested in joining the gossip. She glanced at Alistair beside her.

Alistair was carefully applying ointment to a scrape on her arm.

After the photos were leaked, a fan got upset and threw a support sign onto the stage.

Though Audrey dodged in time, her arm was still left with a red scratch.

Audrey hadn't noticed it. As soon as Alistair stepped down, he asked Kieran to bring over the ointment and applied it for her.

Alistair gently held her arm like it was a precious treasure. Audrey felt warm.

Audrey compressed her lips, hid her smile, and softly asked, "Alistair, was it you who got Rayon blacklisted across the industry?"

Alistair looked at the scratch on Audrey's hand. A trace of sharpness flashed through his eyes. He said coldly, "Just blacklisting her is being kind."

Audrey fell into a trance.

Audrey knew that Alistair was capable and that the Hayes family held immense power, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful. Without even showing his face he got the boss of Raeyon's company to blacklist his mistress.

 

Chapter 369

Audrey's silence made Alistair feel uneasy.

Even though he was afraid that Audrey would be angry, he confessed, "Andrew's wife only dared to storm the stage with my permission. I just couldn't stand Raeyon using underhanded tricks to harm you. She asked for it."

Alistair used Raeyon's methods against her.

If Audrey got angry because of it, he'd accept it. At least he stood up for her.

Audrey was shocked.

Alistair managed to organize a lot in just a few minutes.

The longer Audrey stayed silent, the more nervous Alistair became.

Alistair compressed his lips and cautiously asked, "Audrey, do you think my tactics are indecent?"

Audrey's pupils shook slightly.

Audrey thought, 'In Alistair's mind, am I just a kind-hearted little angel?

'If I can't accept even these minor tactics, how can I survive in the ruthless business world?

'If so, I would have been devoured by Albert long ago.

'I exposed the notes on Raeyon's WhatsApp.

'I have never been good-hearted.

'My motto is to repay kindness with kindness and seek revenge for any wrongs!'

Audrey laughed like a sly little fox and joked, "With Mr. Hayes backing me, I'm happy. How can I think that it is indecent?"

Seeing Audrey's bright eyes, Alistair finally felt relieved.

Alistair reached out and hugged Audrey tightly. He said in a deep and serious voice, "Now that you like it, don't hold back with me. Feel free to use my influence when you need it.

"I'll support you and ensure those with bad intentions never dare bother you again!"

As he spoke, Alistair shot a sharp glance towards the crack in the door.

Yulia, who was hiding outside the door, was startled.

Yulia panted, pressed her hands against her chest, and leaned against the wall in panic.

She didn't mean to eavesdrop.

After seeing Raeyon's tragic end, Yulia feared facing the same kind of revenge and came to apologize.

However, before she could step

inside, she happened to overhear et

Audrey calling Jason "Mr. Hayes",

which scared her so much that she

forgot to react.

Yulia thought, 'Mr. Hayes...

'It turns out that Jason is Mr. Hayes.'

Yulia felt dizzy as if all hope had disappeared from her life.

Yulia thought, 'I stupidly listened to Raeyon's nonsense and provoked Mr. Hayes.

'I'm screwed.'

Yulia didn't have the guts to make a sound. She bit her fist hard and shed tears with regret.

An hour later, the second round of the 1V1 PK elimination match of Supergalactic Idol finally ended smoothly.

Although there were many twists along the way, in the end, everything turned out well.

Audie, Leila, Yelimia, and Helena all successfully advanced.

Unexpectedly, Paula also managed to secure this round's advancement ticket by just one vote. Fifteen guests were invited on stage.

Jake began by congratulating them

and said, "Let's give a round of applause for Audie for once again. taking the top spot on the online popularity charts during the performance!" en FindNovel

Hearing the news, Yelimia and Leila were the first to react. They hugged Audrey and excitedly congratulated her.

Yelimia said, "Audie, you deserve it! I knew it you would win!"

Leila grinned from ear to ear. She hugged Audrey and giggled.

Paula looked at them and felt jealous.

Audrey was lucky to find genuine friends on this show.

Although Paula was jealous, she still sincerely congratulated Audrey. Audrey smiled and nodded.

Helena smirked and crossed her

arms in front of her chest. For once, she refrained from making sarcastic comments and said proudly, "You've won this time. I hope you can show the same talent next time!"

What Helena meant was that she appreciated Audrey's song today.

Helena had been picky but she complimented Sea Elf. Even the usually composed Audrey broke into a smile.

But Audrey didn't respond to Helena's words.

The next match was the final night before the group formation.

Chapter 370

The group formed from this show was the platform's most promoted girl group this year and would receive more resource allocation from the platform.

If they could successfully form a group, there would be many benefits.

But Audrey never planned to debut in a group.

The only reason she stayed with the show was to prove her abilities.

Unexpectedly, so many things happened along the way. It almost messed up the show and forced Alistair

to reveal his identity, which would keep him in the spotlight from now on.

Thinking of this, Audrey felt like quitting the competition once more.

Leila was unaware of everything. She held Audrey's arm and dreamed of a bright future where they debuted as a group together.

Leila said cheerfully, "Audie, if we debut together, we can be on all kinds of shows. We may even have our group reality show. I would like to live with you!"

Yelimia said, "If there's going to be a group, it's me and Audre will live together, not you."

Leila declared, "No way. I'm closer to Audie!" Leila clung to Audrey's arm tighter to assert her claim.

As expected, Leila and Yelimia started arguing again like little kids.

Seeing this, the audience in the live stream began enthusiastically shipping them.

With the fans of different pairings waving their flags, Jason's fans didn't back down and boldly declared their allegiance.

"Stop arguing. Audie is with Jason. They're married. If that's not worth shipping, what are you guys waiting for?"

"Forget the odd pairings. Ship the true couple!"

Once the fans of Alistair and Audrey showed up, the other two shipping groups changed their tune.

"Don't panic. We're not here to break them up. We're here to join this big happy family and ship them together!"

"Shipping each couple just makes our emotional diet more balanced."

It was rare to see such harmony among different shipping groups.

Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but admire Audrey's charm.

"Audie has a special charm. If other idols had so many shippers, they'd be at each other's throats by now. Only her fans are this peaceful."

At 8 p.m., the bell signaling the end of evening study at Talaris High School rang. Miles grabbed his phone and rushed into the nearest boys' restroom.

He missed Audrey's performance because of class and didn't catch the live stream.

Though he felt disappointed, Miles reassured himself and fiddled with his phone, "It doesn't matter. I can watch Audrey's highlight clips."

Thinking this, Miles sped up, skillfully browsed Audrey's fan page to find the latest clip, and watched it eagerly.

The clip conveniently featured Audrey's entrance on stage.

When Miles was about to see Audrey's stunning entrance, a sudden chaotic rush of footsteps echoed from outside the restroom.

Miles didn't pay much attention.

In the next second, with a loud sound, the restroom door was kicked open from outside and left a wet footprint on it.

Miles was shocked and dropped his phone to the ground.

The brand new phone Audrey just

gave him shattered. A flash of sadness and heartache crossed

Miles' eyes. He glared at the group that barged in.

If those three troublemakers hadn't suddenly kicked the door open, he wouldn't have been startled into dropping his phone.

They had a threatening look as if they were out for revenge. Miles couldn't bear it anymore.

Miles brushed off the dust from his phone with a cold expression, looked at the three outside the door, and asked, "What do you want?"

Nathan saw Audrey on Miles' phone. Audrey was Nathan's goddess.

Nathan thought, 'Miles even has the guts to sneak peeks at my goddess's video in the restroom!'

Nathan's malice grew stronger. He signaled to his friends and said coldly, "Guys, let's teach the stupid a lesson!"

Before Miles had time to react, his face was punched.
