Chapter 370 Fake
The soundtrack for the awards ceremony began to play and the host announced, “Let us now welcome our four judges on stage, along with Miss Godwin, to present the award to tonight’s champion, Melanie Greyson!”
As for the live broadcast online, it was now showing the advertisements for the various program sponsors, which came just before the end of the episode. ‘The Voice’ would soon be coming to a close.
However, as soon as the judges began to move, Vania picked up a microphone and said, “Stop the music and resume the live broadcast, director. Today’s competition will need a little overtime.”
Everyone was dumbstruck when they heard what she said. This was even more shocking than the announcement earlier about Melanie winning.
‘I don’t understand what’s going on. Is Vania Greyson trying to protest the results?’
‘There’s always a twist whenever Melanie Greyson’s involved. Let’s see what it is this time.’
‘Here we go again! This is even more entertaining than the competition itself.’
‘What’s up with the sound engineers? Too shocked to do their jobs?’
‘I wish I could see Melanie Greyson’s expression right now.’
Melanie’s face was indeed frozen stiff. Her fingers dug into the palm of her hand as she gripped the microphone and held back the urge to hit someone. She had been wondering why Vania stayed silent all this while today. So, you’re going to cause a scene at the end, huh? A b*tch will always be a b*tch.
Melanie’s blood was boiling as her face contorted into a menacing expression.
On the contrary, Vania seemed perfectly calm and even Hanson looked unaffected by it all. He had absolute faith in Vania, as the woman he loved was no ordinary person.
The host sounded rather awkward. “Was there something you’d like to add, Ms. Greyson?”
“She’s a fake. The results are invalid,” Vania announced coolly as she gestured toward Bella.
A fake? Everyone’s jaws dropped.
Melanie’s anger instantly turned to shock and bewilderment.
What did Vania know about this? She was completely certain that no one else knew about her plan.
Everyone had heard about the production team inviting Lunastella’s assistant to the competition. All Melanie did was locate the real assistant before sending people to stop her from coming to the filming location, then asked Bella to replace the real assistant. She relied completely on people she trusted to carry this plan out, so where had it gone wrong?
The host gaped for a moment, and when he regained his composure, he looked at Vania and said, “Could you please tell us what you mean?”
No one understood what was happening at all. Vania’s words made no sense to them.
Vania threw Bella a derisive look before announcing into the microphone with absolute certainty, “She’s a fake.”
Bella lashed out in fury, “How can you call me a fake just like that? I have documents that prove my identity.”
Those documents had been taken from the real assistant, so they were real.
Vania snorted. “The documents are real, but you’re still a fake.”
Bella never saw this coming at all, so she was at a loss for words. All she could do was remain rooted on the center of the stage as she clenched her jaw and glared at Vania.
Melanie cut in at once. “Since you say she’s a fake, Ms. Greyson, why didn’t you point it out the moment she came on stage? Why are you saying this now? The competition’s nearly over. Aren’t you just trying to single me out?”
In Melanie’s eyes, Vania’s actions now were merely a last-minute resort to stop her from becoming the champion. It was just an attempt to twist the truth.
Vania glanced at Melanie before shaking her head. “You’re not worth the effort.”
Those words made the audience gasp.
There were all kinds of rumors going around online about Vania and Melanie, but it was the first time that Vania had ever addressed the elephant in the room, and during a live broadcast too.
