Chapter 495: Chapter 495 Became a Joke
132,118,098 votes.
Each and every vote was earnestly cast by fans. There was no blind purchasing of show-designated merchandise, but simply votes cast purely due to a huge fanbase.
They all expressed the fans’ great expectations for their beloved idol.
And yet these efforts were stolen by "Royals" with just a careless statement.
Hayes Edwards was the most furious. Being a victim of the show’s manipulation, he directly made himself the spokesman, grabbing the microphone and yelling, "The program crew needs to give a reasonable explanation, to announce..."
His words were abruptly cut off by the program crew.
It’s clear the program crew had decided to go down a dark path.
The scene could only be described as enraged. The crowed had already started to stir, everyone seemed to want to rush the stage. As the situation gradually became chaotic, Hannah forcefully grabbed the microphone from Jackie’s hand.
"I know, you are angry because you cannot accept this on my behalf..."
The girl’s soft voice didn’t stand out in the noisy stadium, but the venue quickly quieted down; everyone was closely listening to Hannah’s speech.
It was a stark contrast to the chaos when Tiffany Lynch was speaking earlier.
Tiffany Lynch’s face belied her jealousy. But she understood that at this stage unless Hannah stepped up, no one else could stop the chaos.
Standing in the middle of the stage, the audience in the distance could hardly see the people on the stage, but she still became the focus of everyone’s attention.
"I have always had a little wish, that is..."
Her fans excitedly chimed in, "Let the world bear witness to Hannah’s radiant beauty!"
Hannah nodded with an increasingly obvious smile, "Every game has its own rules, but when these rules are broken deliberately, the only real purpose of the final ranking is to comfort the losers’ feelings of inferiority."
Each word she pronounced slowly, her gaze falling on Tiffany Lynch. Her sparkling eyes were captivating and enchanting.
Tiffany Lynch instinctively stepped back, her grip on her microphone loosening.
The microphone clattered to the ground, the harsh noise assaulting everyone’s eardrums.
There was no lofty speech, no stern questioning.
It was just a brief sentence, but it set the fans on fire.
The only name whispered in everyone’s ears was—Hannah Winter.
A crownless queen.
The group formation night seemed like a joke.
Hannah didn’t bother to save anyone’s face, she just turned and walked away.
As she left, her fans also left prematurely, leaving the venue half empty, the number of online viewers plummeting.
As the revenue fell sharply, the advertisers complained bitterly, all targeting Tiffany Lynch.
The reality proved that Tiffany Lynch, the so-called C-position, was not able to hold down the fort at all.
The program crew had to wrap up hastily, but the incident was not over.
The evening’s trending searches were almost all dominated by the group forming night, and it was generally accepted that the program crew had rigged it.
The award-winning actress Crystal Quach who was also present that evening, took to her vlog to express her support for Hannah.
–Everyone can see Hannah’s efforts, I believe justice will prevail in the end.
Without naming anyone, as an industry insider, Crystal Quach had a clear-eyed view of the rigged actions.
Her words were more influential than anything else.
However, there were still some of Tiffany Lynch’s fans, pretending to be passers-by, telling Crystal Quach to mind her own business, asking her to delete this post and not to offend others.~
