Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 379

While the stage was buzzing with tension, the livestream chat was an absolute warzone.

However, the conversation had completely shifted to one massive topic: 'ROSE'.

[Hold up, who actually is ROSE? Is she showing up today?!]

[I would kill to see ROSE in person. Every single track she's ever produced is an absolute masterpiece.]

[The fact that this show managed to book ROSE is an absolute godsend!]

[I'd bet money ROSE is secretly hiding in the crowd right now! Who do we think it is?]

The music variety show had shattered internet records long before its premiere. Pulling in top-tier pop stars was a massive draw, but the real explosive hook was the legendary composer ROSE coming out of retirement.

Her sudden return to the industry as a competitor on this exact show had sent the hype into the stratosphere.

As the chat spiraled into frantic guessing games, a new wave of comments suddenly flooded the screen:

[Wait, look at that new girl on camera! Could she be ROSE? The one in the white dress, second from the left!]

[She's pretty, but she looks way too young. ROSE has been producing hits for years. The timeline doesn't make sense.]

[Maybe she was a prodigy and started young?]

The comments section caught fire, and the collective attention swung violently toward a rookie singer named Nadine Yates.

Nadine immediately noticed the sheer number of camera lenses swinging in her direction. It was working. The accounts flooding the chat with rumors about her being ROSE were all paid bots she had hired the night before.

She had debuted less than a year ago and had virtually zero fanbase.

Securing a spot on this show had been pure, unadulterated dumb luck.

Since no one in the world knew what ROSE actually looked like, and no one knew if ROSE was even going to show her face, Nadine saw the ultimate opportunity to ride the clout.

She could easily manipulate the public into believing she was the phantom genius.

Worst-case scenario, she builds massive initial hype, and when the truth comes out, she just plays the innocent victim of media confusion. Best-case scenario? If ROSE actually reveals herself, Nadine could milk a showmance or rivalry to solidify her status as an A-lister.

It was the ultimate gamble, and the payout was infinite.
