Maestro Warner stayed for lunch. After lunch, the guests began to take their leave.

Having endured more than ten hours of flight, Reina and the others were utterly exhausted and needed days to recover from the jet lag, so they headed to the hotel to rest.

After bidding farewell to Reina’s group, Kelly was just about to leave when Niel called out to her.

He smiled. “Kelly, allow me to take you home.”

Niel’s features were handsome-though not as striking as Carter, Thomas, or Nate, his family background more than made up for it. Kelly welcomed the chance to befriend him.

She had long since noticed Niel’s feelings for her. And she never rejected his attentiveness.

Carter was growing colder toward her, Thomas refused to be controlled, and Nate was currently locked in a vicious struggle with Lex, unable to spare her any attention.

The realization hit her hard: she had no reliable ally left at her side.

In contrast, Sharon had Xavier, John, and even the Kalen family backing her. Now, even Julliard seemed to be secretly lending a hand.

It had to be Sharon who was reeling them all in, stringing along these men so they would shield her so fiercely.

Kelly flashed a smile and nodded. “Thank you, Niel.”

Sharon made it into the finals.

News of her advancement made the trending lists more than once, and the internet buzzed with praise, calling her a goddess who embodied both beauty and strength.

Under Wendy’s careful management, Sharon’s social media presence flourished. No matter the platform, her followers had already surpassed ten million.

Kelly, thanks to the early publicity from Carter and Nate, had amassed a respectable fanbase. Yet her followers lacked loyalty. They came from all walks of life, but not many were willing to actually buy tickets to her concerts.

That day, Wendy rushed to Sharon in high spirits.

“Sharon! We opened the first round of presales for the concert today. In just five minutes, all tickets were sold out!”

Her voice trembled with excitement. “This concert will be on a far greater scale than John’s ever was! I’m planning to open the second round of presales next week. And-”

Something seemed to strike her, and she burst out laughing.

“Kelly launched her presales a full day earlier than us, clearly trying to steal our audience. But her tickets sat unsold for an entire day. Only after we opened presales did hers suddenly ‘sell out.’ I’d bet anything she hired ghost buyers to cover the

embarrassment.”

Sharon, too, was surprised.

A concert was not like a pop star’s show-acceptance was lower, especially in Zachemaine, where celebrity idols easily outshone musicians in popularity. That her tickets had sold out so quickly felt almost unreal.

Wendy’s eyes were alight. “It’s all thanks to this competition. You’ve made it into the finals, slapped back those trolls who

claimed you survived only on luck and looks.”

Her fists clenched with restrained excitement. “Sharon, if you win the championship, our concert will be a resounding, unprecedented success! With your capabilities, victory should be within reach.

“As for Kelly… so what if she has Maestro Warner behind her? The audience doesn’t buy it.”

Having worked as a manager for years, Wendy had seen every trick in the book. Kelly’s clumsy data manipulation could never escape her notice.

And she was right.

At that very moment, Kelly was on the phone with Thomas.

“Thomas, thank you for your help this time. Without you, I would’ve been humiliated.” 1

The frenzy around Sharon’s ticket sales had left Kelly reeling. She had assumed that with Maestro Warner’s support, she was bound to outshine Sharon, especially since she had opened presales a whole day earlier.

Yet after a full day, only half her tickets had been sold.
