Chapter 365
The other contestants were stunned by Mnie''s action. They could not wait to find out what would
happen to those who stepped forward.
No one could have predicted the words that came out of Be''s mouth the moment this happened.
Their jaws dropped when they heard her announce, "Lunaste''s vote will go to Mnie Greyson."
The audience was dumbstruck.
''What just happened? The vote was ced just like that?''
''Is this some kind of a joke? The vote went to the one who isn''t a professional singer.''
''Did the producers n this segment to lighten the mood?''
''You can see the shock in all the other contestants'' eyes too, and even the host is frozen with the
microphone half-raised. He probably doesn''t know what to say to this either.''
''Hah! I want to know why the vote went to her. What''s the logic behind this?''
The crowd was slowly stirring from their shock. Some of the contestants were regretting that they had
not stepped forward, while some were indignant about the results, and some were envious of Mnie.
Amidst everyone''s uproar, the smile on Vania''s face deepened. It seems like it''s Mnie''s lucky day
today.
Mnie had made it a point to choose an outfit befitting a queen today. Now that she stood under the
spotlight, she looked every bit like a deserving champion. The only thing missing was her crown.
The host maintained his cool as he continued to interview Be. "Can you tell us the reason behind
Lunaste''s vote? I think a lot of the contestants and audience are keen to find out as well."
"Of course." Be spoke convincingly. "The style of Lunaste''s newest song is very different from her
past creations, so she wants to find a naturally-gifted singer who has never been molded in any
particr way before to sing her song," she said.
As if she were afraid that the others would not get her exnation, she added, "Lunaste believes that
it''s easier to create a masterpiece on a nk canvas."

The contestants all nodded in agreement as they cursed themselves for not stepping forward earlier.
They had let such a wonderful opportunity slip through their hands.
This time, the host turned to Mnie. "Please share your thoughts with us, Mnie."
Mnie epted the microphone with a smug smile. "I''m very surprised, but also very thrilled. It''s an
honor to be selected by Lunaste, and I won''t let anyone down."
Her words were gracious and very suitable for such an asion.
Mnie was certain that victory was hers, and she was as proud as a peacock as she carried herself
with an air of superiority.
The host went to the center of the stage. His voice trembled slightly in his excitement as he announced,
"I will now announce…"
"The winner! Who''s the winner?!" The audience was impatient to find out what the results were going to
be.
Even though there was a ny-nine percent chance that the winner would be Mnie, the audience
was still waiting to see if there could be an unexpected twist.
"Today''s champion is Mnie Greyson!"
As soon as the host announced her name, Mnie surged over to the award stage and began to wave
at everyone. She was smug and full of pride.
Petals rained down onto the stage as the air filled with colorful bubbles, and the music turned festive.
The crowd began to cheer, and the atmosphere at the venue was lively and energetic once more.
This was in stark contrast to thements in the live stream.
''After so many rounds ofpeting, the champion is the one who came in fifth ce?''
''What''s the point ofpeting, then?''
''Is thepetition rigged? Why does the champion feel like the weakest singer among all of them?''
''Is that person on stage really Lunaste''s assistant? This result is nothing like the Lunaste I know
about.''
''These types ofpetitions are all a show. The winner would have been decided right from the get-
go. Lunaste probably didn''t have a choice either.''
All in all, there was barely any support for the fact that Mnie was crowned the champion. Instead,
everyone reacted with incredulity.
