Chapter 360
Winona stayed on the bed in a daze. She was in too much of a shock to react.
At that moment, everything around her quietened and came to a standstill. She could not hear anything While her mouth opened and closed, no word was utterd
The only thing that was crystal clear was the unbelievably high number of votes presented in front of her The number seemed to stare right back at her.
Winona froze for a while before she finally regained her senses. She lowered her head and picked up her phone. Without even putting on her slippers, she pushed open the door and ran
Jonny and Victoria were in the living hall downstairs
Jonny was on the phone, giving instructions impatiently, while Victoria leaned against Clarissa and watched as the latter kept refreshing the webpage
Nonetheless, no matter how many times Clarissa refreshed the website, Winonas votes were
behind Olivia’s. She was lagging so far behind that she was not even a quarter of Olivia’s votes
The butler noticed Winona and saw her bloodshot eyes He was very worried “Miss, why aren’t you wearing any shoes?”
The butler then instructed the helper. “Go and bring a pour of shoes for Miss.
But Winona had no time to wait for the butler. She went downstairs barefooted
Victoria noticed Winona and looked up
When Winona met her mother’s gaze, she could no longer hold her tears in. She choked and said, “Mom” Victoria felt a lump in her throat and quickly went forward to hug Winona.
Jonny had also noticed his daughter’s presence, but he was too busy on the phone.
He spoke in a harsh tone, “What are you guys doing? I left the operation in your hands because you had guaranteed me a sure win. But look at what happened, Olivia’s votes are almost at 600 million now! “And we have only 20 million votes!
“Did I spend so much money to hire you just to make us lose?”
The person in charge of the operations team felt aggrieved. “Mr. Manson, this is an unexpected situation” “Unexpected? If things always go according to plan, why did I decide to spend so much money to hire you? I would have done it myself. I don’t want to listen to your excuses. Now, listen to what I want. I want to overtake Olivia. Hurry up and think of a way to increase the votes Jonny yelled into the phone. Although he was being lambasted, there was nothing the person in charge could do. He was at his wits” end. Finally, he said, “Mr. Manson, why don’t you research a cure for cancer, too: That way, you can surpass Olivia,”
Jonny became dumbfounded as soon as he heard that. He was instantly speechless.
Once he felt that Jonny had calmed down, the person in charge began to explain in a somber tone, “Mr. Manson, this is really beyond our control. Olivia released the news of the cancer drug in the wee hours of the morning, and it was immediately reposted by Ember University. Subsequently, all the other universities reposted the news. After that, almost all the official accounts have reposted it. After all, that is good news for the country and the people.
“The media was in an uproar. They tried all sorts of ways to contact Olivia. And, when they were unable to reach her, they reported the news of Taylor participating in the painting competition.
Olivia did not even need to buy paid posters or hire any media outlets. They were already praising her to
the moon
“Did you not see it? Although we had previously reported that Olivia’s work strayed away from the theme, all those accusations are being overturned now
“Who says only a warrior can defend the family: One needs to be ferocious to devour cancer cells. Hence, her work Guardian, suits the theme. To be the guardian of the family, one has to be fierce.”
Hence, in the end, all the stints they pulled during the early stages of the competition turned into

And it was not just the young people. Even the elderly using old phones with no idea how to vote online insisted on taking out their phone cards and putting them in their grandchildren‘ smartphones to vote for Olivia. They could go without sleep to do that.
Then, there were people who even went to get new SIM cards.
Fortunately, Olivia had announced the news at night, and businesses were still closed. Had she made the announcement at 12 noon, her votes would double.
In such circumstances, even if the person in charge were a genius, he would still be dumbfounded. Moreover, he also wanted to vote for Olivia..
Only people like Olivia, who made contributions and brought honor to the country and people, were worthy of such high acclaim.
