"Does this mean the winner's going to be someone else? What are the results now?"
"I want to know what the theme of Lunastella's latest song is!"
The audience called out all the questions they had.
Vania was very patient. She gestured for them to quieten down before speaking into the microphone, "My assistant was attacked while making her away over here."
She emphasized the word "attacked" and the audience shuddered as their thoughts went straight to the worst-case scenario.
Melanie was ashen, and Bella was trembling so hard that she nearly lost her balance.
Even they, the ones who plotted the whole thing, did not know the condition and whereabouts of that assistant right now. Vania had been on-site all along, so how did she find out?
Melanie had a pretty solid plan in mind already. No matter what, she had to place all the blame on Bella for everything.
As everyone grew fraught with anxiety, Vania played an audio recording.
The sound quality was rather poor, but still clear enough to hear the conversation that had been recorded.
It started with a loud screeching sound of someone slamming the brakes on a car, and then a woman exclaimed in fear, "Who are you guys?! Let go of me!"
Following that, there was a rowdy group of men who began to holler and curse.
The woman's mouth was stuffed with something as her screams turned muffled and indistinct.
At the very end, a man said, "Hey Daggert, I found it. Sandy and I will stay behind to keep an eye on her. You can go ahead and take the documents and credentials to them."
The audio recording ended at that.
Just as a few people moved to question the validity of the audio recording, Vania spoke up first. "I've already reported this to the police, and based on the information I provided to them, they were able to locate my assistant. Thankfully, she only had a few external injuries, nothing serious. As for those three hooligans who kidnapped her, they've been found and taken into police custody."
Melanie and Bella were in a daze to find out that Vania had managed to strike that quickly.
Vania added, "I won't say anything more about this case. The police will report their findings once they finish their investigation."
Even though Vania did not declare who the mastermind was, everyone knew the answer already.
They scoffed at Melanie and Bella with disdain.
The two women were ripped to shreds by the audience.
Melanie's eyes darted around as she tried to find an escape.
Bella was petrified. Her gut was telling her that there was no way she was getting out of it this time.
With how bleak things were looking for her, she tried to put up one last defense by shrieking, "No, it's all a lie! Vania made it all up! She's an evil and despicable woman who is willing to do anything to get Hanson!"
Bella looked like a lunatic as she screamed at Vania, "Explain yourself! Why don't you explain yourself? After saying all these things, why don't you dare to respond to what I said earlier?!"
She began to laugh maniacally. "You're scared of me. You dare not say anything. Hahahaha…"
However, Vania did not entertain Bella who seemed to have lost her mind. She continued to answer the audience's questions.
"As Lunastella, I did not have any opinion about any of the contestants. All I intended was to let my assistant share the lyrics of my latest song."
She chuckled shyly and said, "I wanted to use this program as a platform to dedicate this song to the love of my life."
"Wow…" The audience broke out in shrieks and howls as they heard the words "love of my life".
The tense and awkward atmosphere was finally broken by Vania's declaration.
'Doesn't Vania's smile look a little too coy? I can feel the love even through the screen.'
'That's so sweet! Are the lyrics written for President Luke?'
