Chapter 357 Confrontation

Maggie’s vote count had been climbing steadily, albeit slower than her competitors.

Some potential voters were still on the fence, troubled by the similarity between her song and Sierra’s earlier piece. They craved clarification.

Meanwhile, in the dressing room, Sierra’s face darkened as she scrutinized the live stream on her phone.

That b*tch! How dare she!

Sierra’s once–assured demeanor now crumbled under a sense of helplessness.

In the dressing room, her companions cast sidelong glances her way, their expressions laden with concern. Despite this, no one dared to broach the subject.

Meanwhile, online chatter buzzed with talk about Maggie’s necklace, adding fuel to the already heated discussion.

Online, a post with the title “Did Maggie’s necklace fall off?‘ shot up to Twitter’s top trending search.

People scrutinized the replay with precision, some even capturing the necklace’s pivotal moment in GIF
