Melanie glanced at Hanson with a pained expression, but Hanson no longer bothered to look at her.
At that moment, the paramedics arrived and instantly restrained Kiki before carting her off to the hospital for medical treatment.
Backstage, calmness was restored, but everyone didn’t dare to move unnecessarily. They sat silently in their seats and waited for instructions from Hanson and Vania.
Just then, the live broadcast had also resumed.
The host stood in the middle of the stage and smiled as he spoke to the audience, "It must have been a long wait for you guys. Welcome back to the live stream of 'The Voice'. In order to maintain an air of mystery for our program, the ranking of tonight's competition will only be announced at the start of next week's broadcast. The show has come to an end for now, so stay posted and let's anticipate next week's show."
Subsequently, the broadcast came to an abrupt end, and everyone's first instinct was that this was a gimmick of the show, so they took it lightly and laughed it off. Although the live broadcast had ended, this sudden incident was still ongoing.
The chief inspector arrived soon with his men, and they worked together with Larry to start the investigation.
After quite some time, Larry reappeared once again in front of Hanson and spoke up in front of everyone else, "That crew member has confessed."
"Tell us what she said." Hanson sat there formidably, and there was a stern look on his face.
The crowd was also very anxious to find out what had happened.
Larry mentioned, "According to that crew member, she was busy with some work earlier on and a woman threatened her into doing this. The woman had a face mask on, so the crew member couldn't identify that person."
"Who is it that did such a malicious thing?"
"Yeah, that is such a terrifying woman."
"Find out her identity and we must not let her get away with this!" The crowd discussed it amongst themselves.
Larry spoke up once again, "After further investigation, Bella is the prime suspect."
"I thought that Bella had already been eliminated?!"
"How can it be her? Did she come to the shooting scene?"
"Why did she do that?"
The contestants were quite perplexed, and they couldn’t help seeking answers as they voiced out one after the other.
It's that woman again, huh? As soon as Hanson heard that name, he sneered coldly and thought, Melanie has chosen a pretty crappy person to take the rap for her.
Vania quite naturally shared the same sentiments as Hanson. She noticed that Hanson seemed to have already made his decision, so she didn’t say anything.
As for Melanie, she kept her eyes intently on Hanson’s expression, and she wondered, What does his smile from just now mean? Is that a sign of doubt?
She couldn’t help asking, "Where's Bella right now? Why didn't you bring her over to talk things through in front of everyone?"
Larry shot a look at Melanie scornfully and replied, "Calm down, Miss Greyson. She will be here soon."
Soon after that, he called out to the person by the entrance, "Bring her in."
Bella was indeed escorted into the room by a policeman. As soon as Bella saw Vania sitting inside looking perfectly fine, Bella's expression instantly turned. I thought she was drugged and was sent off to be treated?!
Bella was stunned as she instantly turned to look at Melanie with anger and a hint of regret in her eyes. The former gritted her teeth and spoke, "Why did you set me up?"
Melanie stumbled and mentioned warningly, "What sort of nonsense are you on about? I don't even know you that well, so why would I set you up? Besides, I was backstage the entire time, and I didn't leave the place. I'm innocent, so don't you dare push the blame on me!"
"Hah…" Bella sneered coldly before turning around to look at Vania. "I can't believe that you're actually fine."
"You look disappointed." Vania’s voice was as cold as ice.
Obviously, Bella couldn't hide her disappointment. She had intended to bring Vania into disrepute.
However, the plan had backfired, and Bella couldn't quite control her anger as she saw Vania's smug look. Bella queried, "Why did you set me up? What did I do to you to trigger that?"
