Now, the moment had arrived for the judges to cast their votes.


    Louis tacitly bestowed his vote upon Sh, apanying it with a remark, “I believe Sh’s performance is rathermendable.


    ”


    In the realm of acting prowess, Robert held Sh in high regard.


    However, her tardiness had spawned negative public sentiment, casting a shadow over her performance.


    In a subtle form of punishment to Sh, Robert cast his vote for Kristy.


    The other three judges also raised concerns about Sh’steness and her unconventional park dance for publicity.


    In the end, all three of them voted in favor of Kristy.


    In the first act, Kristy secured a substantial lead in votes.


    Vincent dered Kristy as the victor of the initial round.


    Seeing most of the audience and judges rally behind her, Kristy felt relieved.


    She sat, legs crossed, but the authoritative Louis not choosing her left her slightly unsettled.


    Although Louis remained unconvinced with her performance, Kristy had already captivated the hearts of everyone else.


    She was determined to win Louis over in the uing scenes, prompting him to apud her.


    Seeing Kristy’s resounding triumph, Jayleen couldn’t contain hercency, nearly bursting intoughter.


    Approaching Lindsey with a feigned kindness, she remarked, “Lindsey, this is just the start.


    I’m confident Kristy will continue to shine.


    Considering we work together, heed my advice: Find a graceful way to quit.


    If Sh loses all three rounds, you and Sh will face a tarnished reputation, making it challenging to maintain your standing in the entertainment industry.


    ”


    Lindsey nced at Jayleen and responded with a smile, “Miss Archer, as you mentioned, it’s only the beginning.


    Let’s wait and see.


    Oh, by the way, do you recall our bet? If Miss Chase ultimately loses, don’t forget to relinquish your position as the director and let someone more capable take it.


    ”


    Jayleen smirked.


    “I certainly haven’t forgotten.


    If you lose, remember to resign from Vitality Entertainment.


    ”


    With that, Jayleen turned on her heel and departed, a fierce determination burning in her eyes.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Not only would she make Lindsey leave Vitality Entertainment, but she would ensure Lindsey’s reputation in the industry took a hit.


    Lindsey was by no means a match for her!


    After seeing Sh off to the theatre, Arturo lingered outside, unsettled by the day’s peculiar car ident.


    He retrieved his phone, a sense of uneasepelling him to dial a specific number.


    Meanwhile, in his office, Domenic fixated on the live audition broadcast.


    Lindsey asionally appeared on camera, a sight he couldn’t afford to miss.


    These past two days had been restless for Domenic; a newfound reliance on a routine emerged.


    The sce of sleep seemed to only arrive when he held Lindsey close.


    Without her embrace, his already brief slumber grew even more elusive.


    His mind constantly churned, pondering how to reconcile with her, how to rekindle her joy, and ultimately, how to win her back.


    Until he found those answers, he hesitated to approach her, fearful of causing further disappointment.


    Amidst Domenic’s contemtion, Arturo’s call interrupted.


    With a press of his finger, Domenic answered.


    “Domenic, I need your help.


    ” Arturo’s tone carried an unusual gravity.


    This serious demeanor was unfamiliar in Arturo’s conversations with Domenic, prompting a faint frown from thetter.


    “Tell me.


    ”


    “At nine forty-five this morning, a major car ident urred on the Bay Bridge.


    I need you to investigate, determine if it was an ident or something deliberate.


    ”


    A car ident…


    The mention of a car ident triggered a realization within Domenic, aligning with Sh’s recent state in the live stream.


    “Okay,” Domenic curtly replied before disconnecting the call.
