Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Announcing the Real Rankings
Without her makeup, she seemed even more youthful and innocent.
She looked like a high schooler, with round eyes like a cat’s, always showing a cat-like lazy arrogance when looking at people, which no one could find hard to like.
Lucy Taylor could not argue and could only compromise. "Fine, beauty is always right."
"Look at what you’re saying." Hannah grinned, her voice full of satisfaction. "I like it."
Lucy Taylor turned her face away silently.
Sunny, who had been unable to get a word in, finally found an opportunity and hurriedly said, "Hannah, I’ve always thought you’re very pretty. When you’re not smiling, you’re like the stars in the sky, and when you do smile, you’re like a blooming flower, always captivating no matter what."
She blurted it all out at once.
She had been browsing around Hannah’s fan forum lately and learned a lot of flattering remarks from everyone there.
Of course, unlike them, she could say these words in front of Hannah.
As expected, Hannah was very pleased after hearing what she said and pinched Sunny’s cheek. "Indeed, your sweet words are the best."
Sunny blushed shyly.
Lucy Taylor suddenly interjected, "You say that to everyone."
Hannah: "Hmm, so you’re jealous?"
Lucy Taylor was stunned and glared at Hannah, unable to speak.
Sunny looked from Hannah to Lucy Taylor, her smile gradually turning dull, and began to daydream.

Because Hannah had been offered lots of resources and endorsements, she didn’t spend much time in the villa. The few times she did return were only for group filming, more like an invited guest.
But every time she appeared, it was inevitably the time with the highest ratings.
On the rare occasions that Tiffany and she crossed paths, the smile on Tiffany’s face would become much stiffer, though the hatred in her eyes was well concealed.
Aside from Lucy Taylor, she had been trying her best to get closer with everyone else in the villa, and her popularity seemed to be somewhat better than before over this period of time.
But even so, nothing had changed.
On Friday night at eight o’clock, prime viewing time, and exactly when the web traffic was at its highest, an official statement was released at this particular time asserting, "Regarding the fabricated votes by producer Jerry Cooper and others, the court has sentenced Jerry to two years in prison and a fine of 60,000 yuan and has published a list of victims along with the real ranking..."
In the interrogation process, Jerry Cooper confessed to accepting bribes from many talent agencies before the first season was filmed. He sold the debut position at marked prices, and some agencies also purchased theme songs and dance routines for trainees to practice in advance.
In the first season, there were five victims of vote fabrication, two of whom were forced to be eliminated in the second round of competition under the intervention of the show’s producers. There were two victims of vote fabrication on the night of the final performance.
Hayes Edwards’s votes were compressed, and his original vote count was 83,670,050. Daniel Quin’s original vote count was 19,823,000 (already been eliminated).
In the second season, Jerry Cooper admitted to using his professional advantage to provide various agencies with ticket-purchasing convenience, resulting in more than 20 instances of vote fabrication. The incident that involved the largest amount of money was the vote swap on the night of the final performance.
It is now declared that the recipient of 1,312,180,098 votes on the day is Hannah Winter.
Among the debut members, Tiffany Lynch’s actual vote count was 53,810,038 (real ranking was third)
Debut member Ginny’s actual vote count was 9,210,000 (real ranking 12)
