No Way Back by Anna Mac

“I told you I didn’t prepare anything. I’m not lying.

“Anyway, just wait and see.”

Jane held the side of her face with one hand and even yawned lazily.

Connor was speechless.

Did Jane really not prepare anything?

Then why did Jane look so confident?

Next was the online voting.

Since it was a national-level competition, everyone had to sign in with their identity card

and phone. number before voting.

It wasn’t like some unfamous talent show where people could vote at will and there was no

number limitation.

However, it was still possible to buy votes.

But it would cost a lot of money.

To Layne, he did not lack money at all.

As long as Layne could deal with Jane and please Madelyn, he was willing to spend any

amount of money.

Originally, the competition party did not want to hold the online voting segment.

However, the Croft family suggested that high-end art should be brought in line with the

times. Now that the Internet was developed, if they made the netizens who could not

participate in the venue vote for their favorite works, it would help to promote the art of

painting and let more people know.

The reason was flawless, and there was no room for the competition party to reject.

Of course, in order to ensure the authority of the competition results, the proportion that

the votes online took was small.

For example, the number 4 painting had only lost two votes to the number 5 painting. If the

number 4. painting wanted to win, it had to get 5,000 votes online.

If they were evenly matched and outsiders could not tell, the number 4 painting might be

able to overtake the number 5 painting.

However, the difference was obvious. As long as the audience was not blind, they would

vote for

number five.

The data began to roll and was even specially displayed on the stage screen.

The votes for the number 5 painting were naturally the most.

The votes rose crazily with an overwhelming advantage, following closely behind was the

number 4 painting.

The number 1, 2, and 3 paintings had very few votes. Basically, no one cared about them.

In the private room on the second floor.

“It’s so strange Why can’t other paintings surpass it?”

Layne looked confused.

Even if Layne had spent a lot of effort and money to buy votes, he did not dare to go

overboard.

At least, Layne could not let others tell there was a shady deal very easily.

But why didn’t yet number 4 surpass number 5?

Layne even specially sent a message to his subordinate.

“Haven’t you started to vote yet?”

“No, Layne. We started voting from the beginning. Otherwise, we were afraid that the

voting time would be over, and we wouldn’t have time to do it.”

“What?”

Layne was dumbfounded.

“Then why hasn’t yet number 4’s votes surpassed number 5’s? If this continues, number 5

will win the championship!”

“Oh, no! Layne, number 5’s work is trending on Twitter’s top search! Countless people have

been. diverted to vote for her work!”

Layne quickly clicked on Tik Tok and discovered the blood-red word at the top of the

trending searches, Top.

[There is an amazing masterpiece in the National University Painting Competition.]

The content of the video was naturally Jane’s number 5 painting.

The other four paintings were also displayed in the video.

In front of Jane’s work, they were completely reduced to a foil, even worse than the

background. There were a lot of comments below the video.

[Ah! What kind of an excellent painting it is! I was shocked at first glance!]

[Even my soul is resonating with it. God, are you sure this isn’t a photo? Is it really a

drawing?]

[If it were a photo, it is more terrifying. What kind of scenery can create such a beautiful

and holy scene?]

[The link to the National University Painting Competition is here. Now is the online voting.

Those who like the number 5 painting can click on it and vote for it.]

Not just on Tik Tok, but Jane’s painting was trending in every social media’s top search.

This caused countless people to instantly flood the website to vote for Jane’s work.

Even the server could hardly take it anymore.

Even if Layne had bought many votes, it was useless.

Jane’s true talent was no longer something that Layne’s lousy and shady methods could

cover.

The votes for the number 4 painting had long been stagnant.

The votes for the number 5 painting continued to advance.

The pillar was still rising crazily.

“Layne, what’s going on?”

Madelyn was anxious and could not help but ask.

Didn’t Layne just swear that Jane would never win the championship?

With the current trend, Jane was not only going to win the championship, but also break the

record. “…”

Layne opened his ****, but he still could not say anything in the end.

Layne could only watch helplessly as the voting ended.

Jane overwhelmingly won the championship with 3.65 million votes.

As for the pitiful number four, he only received more than 100 thousand votes.

If not for the fact that the voting time was only half an hour, at the speed of the votes Jane

was getting. no one would know how many it would achieve in the end.

After all, everything on the internet was spreading too quickly, especially works as impactful

as Jane’s. In an instant, it became popular all over the internet.

“Hmph, I knew it. Even though he can bribe these judges, he could not bribe so many

voting netizens!

“I wonder how the judges who didn’t vote for Jane’s work looked… They must have

exploded in anger!”

Lance gloated.

Connor’s meaningful gaze landed on Jane.

There was a smile on Jane’s fair face, and her eyes were as calm as the water in an ancient

well. In the light of the lamp, Jane’s smile was charming and intoxicating.

“Jane, is this all part of your plan?”

“You can think so. I thought I could win, but I didn’t expect to win so easily.

“Looks like Layne is trash. He bribed so many people but still lost so completely in the end.

“If not for Hugh, I’m afraid the Croft family would have really closed down in a few

decades.”

Connor was once again shocked by Jane’s shocking words. He choked on his saliva and

coughed crazily.

Jane was too bold and even dared to say such things, Wasn’t she afraid that someone else

might hear her?
