Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 156:

Erica then played a recording for everyone to hear. She had called Giana and explicitly told her whose song it was. After a moment of hesitation, Giana had decided to purchase it.

The malicious actions of the two were revealed to everyone.

“These two are too cruel.”

“Erica is disgusting.”

“I understand why Erica did that. Her skills could only get her third place. If Giana and Evie were disqualified, she could take first place.”

“Damn, these singers are so manipulative.”

Everyone shook their heads in disapproval.

The organizers promptly disqualified Erica and Giana from the competition and placed them on a blacklist. Once the issue was resolved, the competition proceeded.

Erica and Giana returned to pack their belongings. Giana demanded her money back from Erica. Erica returned the money but then burst out laughing.

“Have you lost your mind?” Giana stared at her coldly, filled with bitterness. If Erica had been more careful, she wouldn’t have been caught. This bitch!

Giana was filled with regret. If she had performed her own song, she might have made it into the top three and avoided public embarrassment.

Erica continued laughing. “Giana, you’ve managed to turn a winning hand into a losing one. It’s truly pitiful. You had such a good friend like Madisyn, and yet look how things turned out.”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you get it? I was the one who leaked the news online to pressure you into buying that song, but you probably thought it was Madisyn.” Erica smirked with twisted satisfaction. Although she faced consequences, Giana had undoubtedly lost more in this ordeal! She was just a new singer, whereas Giana was well-established in the industry.

Giana’s gaze was hollow, reflecting her dismay. A few seconds later, her hands clenched tightly, and her chest heaved.

Her thoughts were scattered, and she struggled to find words. What Erica had said struck a chord. Losing Madisyn was a real loss for her. Even though Madisyn wasn’t a Chapman by birth, her talent in songwriting was undeniable.

Before Giana could process further, she spun around to look for Madisyn.

She spotted Madisyn engaged in a deep conversation with Evie, who was attentively listening. This was how Madisyn used to talk with her.

“Madisyn.” Giana reached out and tugged at her sleeve.

Madisyn turned to face Giana with a cold, distant look as if she were staring at a stranger. She pulled her hand away and asked indifferently, “What do you need?”

Giana’s voice broke into sobs. A few seconds later, she managed to utter, “I’m sorry.”

Evie looked on, surprised to see Giana so emotional. Why would this woman apologize?

But Madisyn didn’t return Giana’s gaze. “You have your own path now.”

It was clear Madisyn intended to cut ties.

Giana’s eyes reddened further. “Do you really want to sever all ties with me?”

“It’s not me who wanted it,” Madisyn responded coolly.

Giana felt a sharp ache in her heart, recognizing that she was the one who had damaged their friendship.

“I misunderstood you before. Can we try again, Madisyn? Don’t you remember how close we were?” Giana pleaded, not ready to give up.

Madisyn still avoided her gaze. “You don’t need me anymore. You’ve achieved your dream of becoming a successful singer.”noveldrama

Giana was left speechless.

Seeing Madisyn’s indifferent expression, she realized there was nothing left to salvage. She turned and walked away in silence.

Evie sighed and said, “Madisyn, you were so kind to her. How could she betray you?”

She couldn’t understand it. If she had a friend like Madisyn, she would treasure that bond!

Madisyn paused briefly before saying, “She values status more than friendships.”

“Well, one day she’ll realize that true friendship is more valuable than fame and wealth,” Evie remarked earnestly.

Madisyn gave a soft smile, looking at Evie with fondness in her eyes.

After all the contestants had performed, the final scoring of the competition began.

As expected, Evie won the championship.

The audience erupted in applause.

Elated, Evie grasped Madisyn’s hand. “Let’s celebrate. I owe you dinner for helping me win!”

Seeing her excitement, Madisyn responded with a smile, “Alright.”

As they left the venue, they noticed a sleek black luxury car parked nearby. Evie’s eyes sparkled. “That’s my brother!”

She dashed over as Andrew stepped out of the car.

“Andrew, did you hear? I won first place!”

“What first place?” Andrew asked.

Evie was slightly annoyed. “The singing competition! Didn’t you know?”

“Oh,” Andrew replied nonchalantly. “You are amazing.”
