Tyler didn't say much—just nodded.
But that was enough.
Vivienne exchanged a few pleasantries with Tyler before heading backstage to prepare for the livestream.
At that moment, a new video suddenly began circulating online—a candid shot from the venue.
In the footage, Vivienne stood with Tyler and the Glenn family, all three of them chatting and laughing with her, looking as if they'd known each other for ages.
The accompanying tweet read: "Vivienne has officially entered high society. The Glenn family showed up in person just to support her at the livestream."
Within minutes, Vivienne was the hottest topic on social media.
The ban on electronic devices at the venue only applied to regular guests. VIPs like the Glenn family? No one would dare stop them.
So it took no time at all for George—always eager for a bit of drama—to spot the trending topic. He grumbled, "Which reporter pulled this stunt? Seriously, I can't believe it!" Shoving his phone at his older brother and sister, he made sure they saw it too.
Theodore, as usual, remained silent and stoic, while Ella just waved it off. "It's just more tabloid nonsense, nothing we haven't seen before. Pay it no mind."
Still, her gaze drifted curiously toward Vivienne, who was busy getting ready backstage.
Was it really all just a coincidence?
George, always a bit slow on the uptake, muttered, "True. Last time, they tried to pair me up with the Jensen family's youngest daughter, and her brother came after me—I was scared out of my wits."
That finally caught Ella's interest. "So, what did you think of her? If you like her, maybe you should get to know her better?"
Of course, this was the one round Vivienne hadn't quietly coached anyone behind the scenes—but the internet had no idea.
Tonight, Emilia sang a soft rock ballad called "Us."
She dressed simply, far less flashy than before. Bathed in the gentle glow of the stage lights, she sang quietly, pouring her heart into a moving story.
It was the tale of two young lovers, supporting each other through the hardest times, scraping by in a tiny apartment with nothing but their love to keep them going. Their youthful warmth, the certainty of their choices, the unspoken promise never to give up on each other.
But as they grew older, life pulled them apart, and eventually, they left behind the one person they once loved the most.
It was a story as old as time, yet Emilia's raw, emotional lyrics and evocative, nostalgic vocals—woven into the soft rock arrangement—gave it a fresh edge. The sadness wasn't overwhelming, but it lingered long after the last note faded.
Draped in a flowing dress, Emilia sat alone at the piano under cool blue lights, singing to a hushed room. The atmosphere was serene, but all around her, people found themselves fighting back tears, utterly moved.
