Heartbroken Billionaire: Begging for Redemption novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

“No. I have a feeling that we’ll get an even bigger scoop,” the other person answered. “We’ll be losing out if we expose ourselves now. Let’s keep waiting for the time being.”

Alyssa still had no idea how the entertainment industry worked. The number of recording devices announced to the public never matched the actual number planted throughout the studio,

There was no shortage of paparazzi who obtained secret recordings before selling them off to the right buyer. It was how they kept getting huge scoops. Furthermore, there wasn’t much information left that

would actually qualify as breaking news, since most of it had already been exposed.

Megan was standing by in the waiting area.

“The person before you is going to leave the stage soon. Get ready, Elena.”

Following the orders of the staff members, Megan stepped onto the stage. Below the stage, Howard had

already risen to his feet and was preparing to leave. He didn’t usually turn up for such events and had only

made an appearance today to watch Alyssa’s performance.

Since Alyssa was done performing, it was also time for him to take his leave. He had only taken a few

steps when the third participant appeared on the stage, prompting Howard to glance at her.

“Our next contestant is Elena. She’ll be performing ‘Yesterday Revisited‘ for us.”

Howard recalled how Alyssa had told him that Elena was Jimmy’s kept woman upon hearing the host’s

announcement. He wasn’t sure why, but he found himself rooted to the spot as he watched the stage.

He had heard the people around him talking about the mysterious masked woman, but it was his first time getting a good look at her.

She stood on the stage and held the microphone lightly before she began to sing. A melodious voice

flowed from her lips. She had a unique singing style, giving the listener the impression that she was telling

them a story. She had only sung a few lines, but she had already captivated the entire audience.

Total silence descended upon the studio that had been filled with raucous noises just seconds ago.

Everyone was focused intently on the woman singing on the stage.

Howard frowned slightly. He couldn’t shake the feeling that her singing style sounded familiar to his ears.

He was struck with a realization in the next second. Her singing style was similar to Megan’s but was also

starkly different.

Elena’s style of singing was more mature compared to Megan’s. The storytelling quality of her voice was stronger. Her voice was also laced with a faint melancholy as if she had grown indifferent to the world after living through countless experiences, which only enhanced the captivating quality of her voice.

The sensations her voice stirred up weren’t heavy. It was light and fleeting, reminiscent of smoke, clinging

stubbornly to a person and leaving a strong impression.

Howard scrutinized the masked woman on the stage, who was dressed in layers and layers of roses that

reminded him of a burning flame. She was different from Megan, whether it be the style of their costumes

or their figures. Elena couldn’t be Megan.

As the performance continued, her voice that had started out light in the beginning intensified as it intertwined with the music. She raised her voice higher and higher until she reached the climax of the

song.
