Lisa knew that Jennie must be under tremendous pressure right now. After all, Merlin had performed quite well. If Jennie made even the slightest mistake on stage, she would be mercilessly ridiculed by everyone. Lisa held Jennie’s hand and comforted her.

“Merlin is a professional. Amateurs and professionals are somewhat different. Don’t feel pressured.”

Jennie nodded and smiled. Devil Manoban was afraid that she would feel pressured and he comforted her. However, it did not matter. This was just a small audience, why should I be afraid? I’ll let her know soon enough that there’s always someone better.

Lisa was extremely nervous. After all, the girl’s voice had just recovered. If she went up to sing, she could easily lose. However, since she wanted to go up, there should be no problem.

But, he still said worriedly, “Don’t worry about embarrassing me. I’m fine. Just do whatever you want.”

Jennie was speechless when she heard this, but she was very touched. Boss Manoban was such a face-loving person, yet he said such things for her. Since he said that, all the more she couldn’t embarrass him.

“Boss, can’t you trust me just this once?” Lisa nodded seriously. Since she said that, why shouldn’t he trust her? Felix looked at Jennie nervously.

After all, singing required talent, but he cheered Jennie on, “Madam, you can do it. Oh yeah.”

Jennie looked at the silly Felix and was speechless. This Felix has been spouting nonsense all day. It’s really embarrassing.

Meanwhile, Merlin bowed slightly to the audience and looked at Jennie. She smiled and said, “I’ve already finished singing. Now, I’ll invite Miss Jennie to come onstage and perform a song for us. Everyone, please welcome Miss Jennie.”

Jennie was flabbergasted. This person didn’t even ask her if she wanted to perform and just made everyone applaud. If she didn’t go onstage now, everyone would mock her. At the thought of this, Jennie stood up and walked towards the stage.

Lisa watched Jennie’s back, his eyes filled with love, trust, and a little anticipation. He didn’t know if Jennie would surprise him again and slap everyone’s faces yet again with her talent.

Felix kept cheering Jennie on as she walked by. She thought it was silly and couldn’t help but speed up. This kind of cheering was indeed a little embarrassing!

She arrived onstage quickly and just when she was about to pick up the microphone, Merlin announced, “Before Miss Jennie sings, let’s have a vote. There will be prizes, okay?”

Jennie heard this and looked at Merlin. She noticed a hint of wickedness in Merlin’s eyes. She knew that this woman would not let her off easily. However, before Jennie could say anything, the crowd asked, “What vote?”

Merlin was very pleased to hear this question. If the crowd played along, she believed that she would be successful at letting this girl make a fool of herself.

When that time came, she would humiliate her and take revenge for what she had done just now. She smiled and said, “I’ll have a little competition with Miss Jennie. If I win, Miss Jennie will agree to a request of mine. Of course, if I lose, I’ll agree to a request of Miss Jennie’s.”

“So, the vote will be about who you think sang better between the two of us. If you agree, I’ll give everyone a mysterious gift. What do you say…”

Before Merlin could finish, the crowd agreed. After all, with Miss Merlin’s wealth, her gift would not be too shabby. This was also an opportunity to curry favour with Merlin, so they shouted, “We agree. It’s just a vote.”

Merlin nodded in satisfaction when she heard everyone’s agreement. It would soon be time to see Jennie make a fool of herself. Merlin’s mood instantly brightened.

She turned her head to look at Jennie and said with a smile,“Miss Jennie, do you agree as well?”

From the moment Jennie walked up calmly to the moment when she was about to sing, Merlin realized that Jennie might not be a mute, but it did not matter. She was a professional singer, and this Jennie was at best a good amateur; she would not be a match for her at all.

As long as this little mute dared to sing, then in a while, she would be the winner. When that time came, she would be able to make a request for Lisa!
