Jennie lowered her head as she pondered.

Irene was so worried that she was on the brink of tears. Since Jennie did not talk about it, she did not dare to disturb Jennie.

Yu Guannan threw a temper. “What is going on? Why do things like this keep happening to Jennie?”

The production team might not care about Jennie’s opinion, but they were certainly concerned when Yu Guannan got angry. Someone from the production team was sent to calm him down.

“I am so sorry, Jennie. My high heel shoes were too slippery,” apologized Nancy cautiously.

However, it was impossible to ignore the smugness in her eyes.

Jennie glanced at her before she smiled and said, “Oh really? Then I suggest you stand firmly from now on.”

“Have you decided who to challenge?” asked Nany.

All the contestants who ranked between 15th to 22nd trembled.

In theory, they were her best options.

Any other day, they would not feel threatened about getting challenged by Jennie. However, Jennie had already gotten challenged five times but was in great shape. Also, she knew everyone’s songs very well and had great vocal delivery. Everyone had instinctively started to see her as a tough opponent.

Despite exposing Jennu’s horrifying scar, Nancy only managed to surpass her by a hundred votes. It was a close win.

None of them were confident about outdoing Jennie.

Jennie did not decide right away and simply said, “I haven’t decided yet.”

Yu Guannan walked over and pulled Jennie aside and whispered, “Jennie, you have to pick a safe bet. Otherwise, you will get kicked out. Ye He who came in 20th and Situ Hao who came in 22nd do not perform consistently. Why don’t you pick one of them?”

Both these contestants came from other teams. Yu Guannan was genuinely making sound suggestions for Jennie.

She nodded and said, “I will think about it.”

Yu Guannan felt assured after seeing how much she had improved and the great performance she had put up.

The nurse noticed Rosé’s hate towards Little Stone and pulled her phone away from Rosé.

“Bring that over.” Rosé could not help reaching her head a little closer.

Other contestants had challenged Jennie five times in a row and she could not help feeling resentful.

“Do these people have no ethics? How could the five of them have the cheek to pit themselves against Little Stone?”

The nurse asked softly, “Didn’t you hate Little Stone?”

“This has nothing to do with whether I like her. I just don’t like seeing people gang up to bully a woman.”

She took her phone and sent Seulgi a text message right away: [What has your boss been doing? Did he do anything to help Jennie to get more votes?]

[Miss Kim told us to stay out of it] Seulgi replied quickly.

[I am glad she has a backbone.]

[But Mr. Manoban… is throwing a temper tantrum while watching the show.] Seulgi was in a spot. Jennie kept telling them to stay out of the program. However, Lisa was giving off a dangerous aura.

[I am pissed off too.] Rosé replied: [If Jennie can’t even take care of evil people like her, she can forget about being a part of the Manoban clan!]

Even if Jennie did, it would not change Rosé’s opinion of her. Her hate for Jennie had yet to disappear.

“Miss Manoban, Little Stone is going on stage!” said the nurse.

Rosé watched as Jennie went on stage.

A lot of people were commenting about Jennie’s ugly looks, but a lot of people spoke up for her as well.
