Chapter 364

Jayleen was caught off guard by the sudden wave of enthusiasm online and Selah’s votes had soared unexpectedly.

Meanwhile, Mercer made a public statement admiring Selah and even performed a spontaneous song in honor of her act.

Then, a host of celebrities, directors, and writers from the showbiz industry came forward to commend Selah’s talents and cast their votes for her.

Suddenly, all these prominent industry figures were advocating for Selah, causing a ripple effect with their fans casting votes too, and the internet was alive with chatter.

Jayleen was so shocked she nearly broke her phone, staring in disbelief at the unfolding events.

Selah had been away from the industry’s attention for five years, and Lindsey was a newcomer as an agent.

How did they manage to sway the industry to back them like this?

Refusing to accept defeat, Jayleen reached out to the leader of paid voters.

“We need more people spreading the word to support Kristy, we have to beat Selah in the vote.

”

The leader replied, “We’ve run into a problem.

Our accounts got mass blocked.

”

Through clenched teeth, Jayleen demanded, “Didn’t we pay them off?

Why are the accounts still blocked?”

The leader explained, “The money’s been sent back, and I was put on a blacklist.

”

Shock hit Jayleen hard, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Her face lost all color, going completely pale.

She felt like she was teetering on the edge of a deep void, her face numb from the impact of the news.

Things weren’t making sense to her, it was as if she had the whole world against her.

Defeated, Jayleen slumped into a chair, feeling a sense of helplessness she hadn’t known in her entire career in showbiz.

Hope seemed to slip through her fingers.

She was unraveling.

Kristy, seeing her vote count surpassed by Selah’s, grabbed Jayleen urgently.

“I don’t get it, my votes were ahead, and now I’m losing.

You have to do something.

”

Jayleen’s expression turned stormy.

What was left to do? She had exhausted every strategy at her disposal, leaving her vulnerable to a one-sided defeat.

“Take a look at it.

Why aren’t my votes increasing? They’re actually dropping.

What’s happening?” Kristy exclaimed in shock, unable to hide her surprise.

Jayleen checked her phone and saw what had happened.

The paid voters’ accounts had been banned, making all their previous votes void.

Meanwhile, Selah’s numbers were still climbing, and Kristy’s had shrunk to almost nothing compared to Selah’s.

In this last showdown, Kristy and Jayleen had been thoroughly outdone.
