The car made its way toward the concert venue.
The venue was still letting people in.
But everyone's attention was glued to the internet.
Vivienne's live stream, where she was manipulating and extorting Emilia's fans for donations, had already attracted a massive amount of attention.
Now, Emilia herself had appeared.
And there was the joint statement from Emilia and Donovan Entertainment.
At this moment, countless people were spreading the word.
"Don't donate to Vivienne anymore. You're playing right into her hands."
"Emilia's right. If we give in this time, there will be a next time. Vivienne will keep using this to blackmail people. We can't let her succeed!"
This was the sentiment among Emilia's supporters. On the other side were Vivienne's fans.
"Who is Emilia to tell Vivienne she can't hold a poll? It's Vivienne's live stream. Why is Emilia so controlling?"
"Yeah, I like donating to Vivienne. What's wrong with that?"
"Vivienne is dying, and Emilia has everything. For her to be so relentlessly pressuring a sick woman, that's just monstrous!"
…
The internet was in an uproar.
Meanwhile, Tyler had stopped Vivienne and gestured for the live stream cameras to be turned away.
"Stop this donation challenge immediately," Tyler commanded in a cold voice.
But Vivienne just gave a soft laugh.
She said, "Tyler, you're still on her side. You want her to win."
Tyler looked at Vivienne with cold eyes.
He wasn't falling into her emotional trap.
He no longer had the patience for it.
His hand tightened on the handle of the strongbox.
"I've said my piece," he said. "Vivienne, this kind of extortion poll will only damage your own reputation in the end, not Emilia's."
With that, he looked at Israel, signaling for him to handle the situation.
Furthermore, Tyler's team had handled the damage control for 'Vivi's Whispers,' taking care of everything except the parts that absolutely required Vivienne's involvement, saving her the trouble.
Emilia was just a minor artist. Her concert tickets were cheap, and even with merchandise, the total revenue wouldn't be much. Besides, she still had to split the profits with Donovan Entertainment according to her contract.
The Glenn Group's cut was also based on the old contract signed when she won 'Voice of the Divine,' not a new one.
Really, the outcome now depended on how Parker Erickson calculated the final figures.
Vivienne's chances of winning were already very high.
To claim she needed to extort fans to win was utterly ridiculous!
When Vivienne wanted to create the 'Ultra-Luxury Villa Floral Series,' Tyler gave her the resources.
She needed connections, he gave them.
She needed funding, he gave it.
She needed staff, he provided them.
They cleaned up all her messes.
They had provided unconditional, round-the-clock support, all to ensure Vivienne would win.
