Chapter 230:

“I only voted for her because of her songwriting. I gave my other votes elsewhere. Honestly, I regret it now!”

“So who’s behind this? I don’t buy the ‘technical issues’ excuse. I mean, why is she the only victim? Someone needs to dig deeper!”

“Exactly. This has to be looked into properly!”

Vivian’s side was instantly flooded with criticism. People began questioning her and demanding answers.

“Why is everyone blaming Vivian? She’s not even a contestant!”

“Exactly. She’s just a judge. Maybe people are barking up the wrong tree.”

“They say Vivian used Brandon’s influence to target Serena, but think about it—if she really had that power, Serena would’ve been erased without a trace by now.”

“Someone else is behind this, and they’re trying to frame Vivian.”

The argument was clever, flipping the logic in Vivian’s favor.

To the average viewer, it sounded reasonable.
