Everyone was furious.
So shameless!
Those who liked Vivienne would donate for her to sing.
Those who supported Emilia and hated Vivienne would have to donate for her *not* to sing, and that money would also end up in Vivienne's pocket.
Vivienne was still smiling.
This was her exact plan.
And not just for today.
There was about a week left until the final judgment.
Today was just the appetizer.
For the rest of the week, she would do this every single day.
She would tie herself to Emilia, forcing Emilia's supporters to donate to her and buy her flowers!
Even if the movie 'Vivi's Whispers' had been taken down, she would still use Emilia as a stepping stone to climb higher.
The more popular Emilia became, the more she could profit by stepping on her!
In this competition, the most important thing was the overall score. While Emilia's concert was profitable, she was signed with Donovan Entertainment and had to split the profits with them. The same went for The Glenn Group's new product; everything had to be divided according to their contracts.
But Vivienne didn't have to. She was using Tyler's personal resources and extorting money by tying herself to Emilia.
So, when the final scores were tallied, she might actually win!

Meanwhile, backstage, Emilia's heart was pounding with nervousness.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror, already dressed in her performance outfit.
The wounds on her neck and shoulder had healed, the scabs had fallen off, and new skin had grown in.
With a bit of foundation, they were virtually invisible.
A costume designer was making final adjustments to her outfit.
"You've lost so much weight recently. I'm making a few quick alterations. Be careful on stage later," the designer advised.
Emilia nodded.
Her heart thumped in her chest. The tangible reality of her nervousness pulled her out of the strange daze she had been in for days.
She focused on the concert before her.
