Chapter 746: Chapter 746: On Stage
Tiffany Lynch tugged at the corner of her mouth, her gaze falling on Hannah’s face.
No smile came.
From time to time, the murmurs of others around them could be heard.
"...Smile 9, huh? I sneaked over to watch their rehearsal before, that’s Tiffany Lynch, right? She talks better than she sings, at least she doesn’t go off-key..."
"Their team’s relationships are so bad, aren’t they? Tiffany Lynch doesn’t seem to say anything wrong, but why does it feel so uncomfortable when you listen to her?"
"I heard it’s because there was someone in the team who couldn’t sing, so all the parts were given to Hannah Winter. She must be so exhausted as the center. It might be better if she went solo, earning money but also having to share it with the others, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
It wasn’t until Teresa Gordon walked over that the whispering crowd hastily dispersed.
Teresa’s gaze swept over Tiffany and the others. With a stern face, she gave off an air of authority. "You were all just a group of kids when I became an agent, don’t play these games with me. Once you’re on stage, it’s live vocals. Don’t think you can avoid embarrassment by pushing your lines onto others and only singing a few yourself. Don’t you already know about individual close-ups and the muting of backup tracks, since you all came from auditions?"
Their faces turned pale as the remaining three people began to distance themselves from the vote-boosting trio and Sunny Lee.
Lucy Taylor simply scoffed, "Serves them right."

With many celebrity guests in attendance for the two-and-a-half-hour evening gala, there were naturally many audience members.
From afar, all one could see was a countless number of colorful light boards.
Although Smile 9 was fairly popular, it was mostly during the previous talent show period. After experiencing so many ups and downs afterward, their popularity had significantly declined.
Yet even so, Hannah remained a sensational figure.
Moreover, with a popular show to her name, her stardom even surpassed that of some A-list celebrities.
As soon as she stepped on stage, thunderous cheers echoed from the crowd. In addition to this, the screen was full of comments.
The gala’s official account tweeted #Smile9FirstStageReunion#.
——I heard that all the performances today are live. Can these boy and girl bands handle it? I hope it’s not a disaster for everyone.
——The boy band that performed earlier set a great example for everyone. They’ve been debuted for a year and yet they’re still gasping for breath when they sing and dance. Hayes Edwards is the only one worth looking at, but of course, only his face is watchable.
——Having seen Hannah’s performance, she is undoubtedly the main vocalist. I just hope she won’t be held back by others.
——Don’t be so harsh, all the girls are putting in their best effort. Tiffany even posted a photo from the rehearsal room with the other three girls. They never forget to practice every day!
——Talking about the rehearsal room’s photo is probably the same as me going to the gym, right...
——Hannah’s always on variety shows or filming and doesn’t have time to sing. I think the whole group will only have problems because of her. She should really go solo and not drag others down.
——Haters get lost! My Hannah is genuinely talented. Worry about your own idol!
The internet is always the fiercest battleground. But in just a short while, fans of all parties started to fight again.
Tiffany’s followers also took this opportunity to defend their idol.
Innocent words filled the screen.
——My girl has been trying so hard. Can you please not speak ill of her?
——To be a human, please be kind! Tiffany’s efforts deserve to be seen.
——Since Hannah has already returned, it means they’ve already reconciled. Why can’t you let go of the past?
For a few seconds, similar comments dominated the entire screen.
