After Jeanie finished speaking, she said farewell to Grace and hung up.Although she felt that Grace was somewhat clueless and favored her adopted daughter over her biological one, she still maintained her manners since Grace was an elder.While Jeanie was on the phone, her parents were beside her. Her mother, Marissa Moore, commented, "I never realized the Harper family was this chaotic before.""I don't believe for a second that Mrs. Harper is oblivious to everything," Jeanie complained. "Of course she knows. Otherwise, why would she let the adopted daughter drive away her biological one?""Lindsay has been so good to the Harper parents and brothers, but they don't appreciate it. They prefer Olivia, who talks a good game but does nothing substantial. All the Harper family's troubles are related to Olivia. That adopted daughter is toxic."Jeanie didn't just dislike Olivia; she loathed her. Seeing the photos and videos online only made her feel more disgusted.Marissa, who had met both

Lindsay tagged Leslie, Wendy, and George in the group chat, asking if they wanted to come to their room to watch the fireworks show together. Elric even posted a photo of a table full of snacks, warmly inviting the three to join them.Without hesitation, Leslie, Wendy, and George agreed. They all headed to Elric's room, where he took a group photo and posted it in the chat.Olivia, Raymond, Alex, and Justin felt slighted. Raymond huffed. "What’s their deal? Inviting only the other group and ignoring us."He had no desire to push through the crowd to clock in. Watching the fireworks show from the room would allow them to clock in without squeezing through people and they could comfortably sit on the couch and enjoy snacks.Alex rolled his eyes. "You’re just noticing now? We were ignored in the first round too."Olivia sighed dramatically for the livestream. "They’ve always been a clique. Don’t expect an invitation, Ray."Justin glanced at Raymond. "Have some self-awareness." He then

Hector walked onto the stage and picked up a guitar, testing the sound. He began to play and sing one of his own new ballads. His voice was pure and ethereal, immediately capturing the attention of the bar's previously noisy patrons, who gradually fell silent. The live stream camera focused on Hector, but he ignored it, immersing himself completely in his song.He sang about his journey: starting on a high note, then being pushed down into darkness, and finally being lifted out by someone who showed him the light of a hopeful future. Hector's performance was heartfelt, reflecting his personal struggles and triumphs since entering the industry. The patrons were drawn into his story, and soon many began pressing the green buttons on their tables. The approval quickly surpassed one-third, then half, then two-thirds. In the end, over ninety percent of the audience had pressed the green button.When Hector finished, Lindsay's smile grew broader. He had not let her down; his song was

To those not well-versed in music, Olivia's song sounded quite pleasant, though there was something inexplicably odd about it. Elric and Lindsay's comments helped pinpoint the source of that odd feeling: the style contradiction. Olivia hadn't captured the song's essence.Wendy, being a professional singer, noticed something off from the middle of Olivia's performance. "Olivia's style is very different from this song's style. Singing it in such a soft, delicate way feels really contradictory. It doesn't match her personality."She had a strong suspicion, which made her dislike Olivia even more.Hector added, "Her songwriting style is quite unique, leaning more towards a masculine vibe."With that, Leslie and George also understood that Olivia's claim of writing the song herself was dubious. The live stream viewers started discussing this too. While some suspected Olivia had hired a ghostwriter, there was no evidence to prove it.After Olivia finished singing, she received just over ha

Raymond was frustrated and dissatisfied that his song didn't receive more votes than Hector's. Determined to win the PK round, he stood up confidently and walked back to the stage. Hector, equally confident, also got up and joined him.Both had their phones out and wore Bluetooth earphones, relying on Olivia and Lindsay to help translate the instructions from the host, as neither was fluent in the S language.The host, a young woman, stepped onto the stage and didn't let them choose a song. Instead, she opened a computer and selected a song. "To keep things fair, you'll both learn this song now and perform it in half an hour. There will be accompaniment and lyrics for you to follow."This song was composed by the bar's former resident singer specifically for client PK rounds. If the contestants were from different countries, they would use songs in their respective languages. For competitors from different countries, an international song would be chosen.Both Hector and Raymond no
