Chapter 40 An Accident on the Stage
Suzy felt that Evan was strange, but she didn’t ask more questions. When she was about to leave, she said, “By the way, all the artists in my company are here. After the performance, I plan to invite them to dinner together.”
The two of them had been having dinner together recently. Suzy was implying that she couldn’t be with Evan today.
“Okay.” Evan didn’t say anything.
Suzy left the lounge and met Teresa when she went downstairs.
Teresa would scold Suzy whenever she saw her. At this time, she glanced at Suzy indifferently, then left in a hurry on her high heels.
Teresa was anxious because she had heard from the staff that Evan was there. With all kinds of words from the Carters family, she had already walked out of her affair with Levy and shifted her target to Evan.
As soon as they arrived at the corridor, Evan, who was not far away, came out of the lounge.
Teresa hurriedly adjusted her emotions and slowed down. When they met, she said with a smile, “Mr. Hughes, are you also here to watch the competition?”
Teresa was also dressed up today in a pure style. Her eyes were full of expectation, but Evan ignored her and left without even looking at her.
“Mr. Hughes, after the competition is over, can I invite you to dinner?” Teresa did not give up and continued.
Evan’s expression was cold. He said coldly, “Get off.”
These two simple words caused Teresa’s face to freeze.
She stood rooted to the spot, gritting her teeth in anger. No matter what, she was the first lady of the Carters family. Not only did Evan not give her any face, he even told her to scram?!
The competition officially began. On the luxuriously decorated stage, ten teams went up to the stage to greet each other, and the fans cheered enthusiastically.
The rules of this episode were very simple. One thousand audiences would vote, and each mentor would get 50 votes. The two groups with the lowest number of votes would be eliminated directly. Suzy and Teresa’s internal gambling agreement was not exposed. Their groups would come on the stage last. After the contestants greeted each other onstage, they would wait backstage.
At this moment, Flora and Diana were in the first row of VIP tickets, while Evan and Thomas were sitting next.
Diana was so excited that she grabbed Flora’s hand and whispered, “What the fuck! Miss Krane, Mr. Hughes is right next to us. Ahhh! This is the first time I’ve seen him at such a close distance! He’s so handsome!”
In contrast, Flora was rather calm. “Calm down.”
“I can’t stay calm! I really want to get his contact information.”
Flora was speechless.
The performances of the last eight teams were quickly finished. Teresa and George were ready to perform.
Teresa’s style of the stage was the same as Suzy’s. Both were very powerful. Suzy sat backstage and watched the whole process. She asked Victor, “What do you think?”
Victor said with certainty. “Just so-so! Miss Carters, we are going to win.”
George’s dance and singing were not bad on the whole stage, but Teresa couldn’t. She was a little nervous. Several movements of her dance didn’t keep up with the rhythm, and Teresa was responsible for a few lines of lyrics of the whole song. She sang very badly.
Suzy’s lips curled into a smile. “Let’s go. It’s our turn.”
After the host announced that the next group would be Victor and Suzy, the fans below the stage began to cheer enthusiastically. The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, leaving only a few beams of golden and silver light shining on the two of them. The cheers of the fans also stopped.
The BGM had just begun, and the lights on the stage were all turned off instantly. At first, everyone thought it was the effect of the stage, but after a few seconds, they realized it was a blackout. It was dark at the scene. Only the bright light sticks in the fans’ hands brought a trace of light, but they could not see Suzy and Victor on the stage.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The expressions of the two people on the stage turned a little ugly simultaneously. The next second, Suzy calmly said, “Change the song and change it to ‘Touch.'”
Victor’s reaction was very fast. He went straight to the piano in the corner of the stage and sat down.
The power outage affected the lights, and the audio piano and microphone were still ringing. The pleasant piano sound rang, and a pleasant voice rang.
It was Suzy’s.
The scene quieted down instantly. The moving singing was dazzling. Didn’t Suzy say that she didn’t know how to sing? This was just too good-sounding!
This song was chosen by both of them and had only been rehearsed twice. But at this moment, they had a tacit understanding. Suzy’s beautiful voice and Victor’s magnetic voice mixed without any discord.
About a minute later, the lights on the stage were turned on again. Suzy and Victor were still not disturbed and continued to sing affectionately. Although there was no dance, the picture of them looking at each other seemed to sing this song into an MV.
The whole song ended in a romantic chorus.
Cheers resounded in the surroundings, and it wasn’t just those cheering for Victor; some were cheering for Suzy!
“Who said Suzy is here to hold Victor back? She’s so awesome! Suzy should be a singer!”
“The songs prepared by Suzy and Victor are not this one! Their on-the-spot reaction is amazing!”
“Why is there a blackout? Come out and get beaten!”
“OMG! Their song is so beautiful! Do you think that Victor and Suzy are a good match?”
Suzy knew that Teresa must have played tricks behind the blackout accident on the stage. She knew that Teresa would play tricks and had been keeping an eye on whether Teresa would do something before recording. She even specially sent people to protect Victor, but she did not expect Victor to focus on the stage.
Although the two of them had completed this stage, in the aspect of singing… there was probably no hope for them to win.
After getting off the stage, Suzy met Teresa backstage. She smiled, “Suzy, remember to abide by our bet.”
Suzy’s expression was unhappy as she sat down.
Victor comforted her. “Miss Carters, don’t worry. Just going to withdraw from the competition. It’s nothing.”
It was not a big deal. With Victor’s current popularity, he would still become popular even if he didn’t debut. However, Suzy was unwilling to accept it. She pursed her lips and said, “Now it depends on how many fans vote. We still have a chance.”
The fans began to vote with the voting devices in their hands. After the host read the advertising lines, he invited another ten members to the stage.
It was the most exciting moment to announce the votes.
The four mentors were the first to vote. After praising the other teams on the stage, they voted for George.
The mentors got 50 votes. In this way, they had 200 votes.
Teresa’s side won for sure!
Suzy took a deep breath. She knew it was impossible for the mentors not to have been bribed by Teresa!
Next, the voting of each group was announced on the big screen. Everyone became nervous…
