Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 123

"Trying to buy me off? No way! I don't want your money—I'm going in, whether you like it or not!"

"What, are you guys just haters? So what if I love Vivienne?"

"Let go of me! I said, let go!"

Once again, Vivienne's die-hard fan was dragged away by security.

…

Meanwhile, online, everything related to the second live broadcast of *Voice of the Divine* was dominating the trending charts.

Earlier, when members of the so-called "Big Three" of Alden City showed up at the venue, it had already caused a social media frenzy.

Then came the secretly filmed footage of Vivienne laughing and chatting with the Glenn siblings—another wave of buzz.

After that, as each contestant took the stage, the excitement of their performances kept the discussion going.

But the topics pinned to the very top of the trending list were #VivienneInTears, #VivienneGraceful, and #SaintVivienne.

All these tags featured clips of Vivienne tearing up over Serena's performance and praising her singing.

"Remember at the charity gala, when Serena bid up the price on that tanzanite necklace Vivienne wanted? Vivienne is such a class act. She never said a bad word about Serena after the event, and now she's able to judge Serena's performance fairly and even compliment her."

"Seriously, she's so kind. If it were me, I don't think I could be that gracious."

"I don't get Serena, though. She always seems cold to Vivienne—the team selection, the gala, everything. What's her deal? Her performance was fine, but it wasn't that extraordinary."

"Exactly. I'm still confused why she got such a high score from the live audience. It was good, but not that good."

"Maybe she's got some insider connections?"

"Who knows? Isn't Serena signed with Donovan Entertainment?"

The debate raged on, but soon everyone's attention shifted again.

Ella followed close behind, nodding in agreement. "We met briefly at the charity gala—I had no idea you'd be so amazing live."

Emilia recognized the Glenn siblings immediately. She'd always admired their family's warmth and reputation.

After the gala, because she'd attended under her stage name "Serena," Emilia hadn't specifically asked George to keep her identity a secret, but he'd never let it slip—a sign that, despite his boisterous energy, George could be trusted.

With that in mind, Emilia smiled and nodded. "Miss Glenn, Mr. Wyatt, thank you for your kind words."

"Can I get your autograph?" George beamed. "And maybe a photo with the three of us—would that be okay?"

Emilia laughed and stepped closer for the group photo, while Theodore—the quiet one—stood off to the side, as reserved as ever.

Just before the shutter clicked, Emilia felt a strange sensation and glanced to her left.

At that exact moment, Tyler—who had just exited with Vivienne—was also looking in their direction.
