Chapter 7 A Bet’s a Bet

Listening to the crowd say that it was Melanie who had been the sole pillar to support Bryan’s media

firm, his parents did not seem to be happy with it. However, they still had to put a smile on their faces.

The directors of Jones Enterprise quickly took this opportunity to close the deals with the partners as

they hung big smiles on their faces.

Melanie quietly looked at the people’s faces and cheekily smiled at them.

“A bet’s a bet. Now let’s enjoy Lena’s performance.”

Melanie’s sudden, sharp voice pierced through the clamor of the crowd. It was only when she pointed it

out that they remembered Lena’s unfulfilled promise. She was an influencer, so the crowd playfully

teased her, eagerly anticipating her singing.

“My throat doesn’t feel good today.” Lena waved her hands as she gave an excuse.

“You’re an influencer who has released several singles. Is it that hard to sing in front of everyone?”

“Quit giving excuses. You still can sing even if your throat isn’t at its best. Where’s your

professionalism? I even wondered if you’re the one behind your songs.”

Hearing this, Lena had no choice but to go up the stage and stand in front of the microphone.

Once the music began, Lena started to hum along. As she sang softly, the backstage sound engineer

played the music even softer. As a result, the crowd could clearly hear that Lena’s singing was

completely off-key, and a commotion erupted among the crowd below the stage…

“What the hell?”

“You’ll kill someone with this voice!”

“I remembered that Lena’s singles were pretty decent. Don’t tell me it’s all fake…”

Bryan got back to his senses and quickly asked the staff, “What are you doing? Shut it off!”

“Mr. West, I’m not sure what happened, but it seems like the sound system is having some issues. I

can’t turn it off.”

“Cut off the power!” Bryan shouted.

After the power was cut off, the ballroom fell into darkness. The crowd started discussing if Bryan did

all these just to protect Lena. Why did it feel like Bryan loved Lena more than Melanie, his fiancée?

When Melanie was framed a few moments ago, he did not even stand up for her…

Two minutes later, the staff came to Bryan, panting. “Mr. West, I’m not sure who started the emergency

generator. It’s useless even if I cut off the power.”

“That’s enough.” Bryan was exhausted.

Although Lena’s performance lasted only for a few moments, the crowd felt awfully sick after listening

to her sing. It would be funny to say that her singing was out of tune because Lena hummed along like

she was mourning at a funeral. The crowd felt like they were forced to listen to her terrible singing, and

it was utterly disgusting.

Lena held her tears as she clenched her teeth. She could not help but feel embarrassed.

Melanie stood in the crowd, staring coldly at what was happening. This was only the beginning of what

she had prepared for Lena and Bryan as a bigger surprise awaited them.

She went out of the ballroom with Annie and asked, “Have you arranged your men?”

“Consider it done.”

Annie patted her chest to assure Melanie. “The entire ballroom is installed with CCTV with no dead

angle. The bug that you planted in Bryan’s breast pocket…someone’s listening to him as well.

“I’ll make them pay for what they’ve done to you!” Annie was mad at them on behalf of Melanie as she

cursed.

Hearing this, Melanie asked her to stay low since she had already moved past her most intense anger.

She then added, “Now it’s time for us to attack!”

“Yes, attack!”

Annie calmed down a little and said, “Oh, yeah. Lena had placed a gigolo in your guest room. Don’t

worry, my men have sorted everything out. You won’t have any unexpected encounters in your room

tonight.”

Melanie nodded. It appeared that Lena and Bryan planned to completely ruin her reputation by making

her lose her virginity before their engagement ceremony. However, everything was under her control.

“But I find it rather odd that they put a gigolo in your room without tampering with your drink. Did you

drink anything just now? You must be extra careful,” Annie cautioned.

“Yeah.”

Melanie did not touch anything at the party just now, but she was concerned. “There’s a chance that

they might have tampered with my drink. However, to be safe, I think I should check my room.”

Bryan had invited all the elites from around the world to this Gala.

The party was expected to last until late at night. Starlight Lounge was located near the seaside, so

Bryan had prepared guest rooms for his guests to spend the night and attend his engagement

ceremony the following day.

Once she opened the door, Melanie was stunned.

Annie told her that her men had dealt with the gigolo, did she not? So, why was there another man in

her room?

Besides, it was no ordinary man.
