My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

Audrey was about to refuse when someone else spoke up first.

Leila snapped without hesitation, "Audie isn't part of your team anymore. She has no obligation to help you. Seriously, do you think writing a song is easy? Just asking for one out of the blue, have you no shame?"

When they were on the same team, they constantly nitpicked Audrey. Leila thought, 'Where do they get the nerve now?'

Hearing this, Paula's face turned awkward, but considering the situation, she chose not to say anything. Yulia couldn't swallow her pride and retorted indignantly, "Leila, isn't that a bit harsh? We were teammates, after all. What's wrong with asking for a little help? If it comes down to it, I don't mind paying..."

"Shut up!" Leila's expression got even colder as she snapped. "Who are you insulting? You think Audie needs your measly money?"

"I..." Yulia bit her lip, realizing her words had soured the mood, and said a little sheepishly. "That's not what I meant."

She frantically defended herself, "I just think Audie's songs are great, and I wanted her help. She didn't even refuse; why are you so mad?"

Meanwhile, Yulia looked eagerly at Audrey, still unwilling to give up.

Audrey was never one to procrastinate; she immediately said, "Sorry, I have to prepare for my own performance. I don't have time to help you."

Seeing her outright refusal, Leila felt satisfied and crossed her arms with a smirk.

Paula and Yulia exchanged glances, too embarrassed to stay. They left, feeling down.

Not far away, Raeyon, who overheard their conversation, looked uneasy. Raeyon's talent and popularity were clearly equal to Audrey's.

Yet, Audrey took both the top debut stage and the online popularity first place. She had become someone who was avoided by everyone.

Thinking of this, Raeyon's emotions were hard to settle.

She was unwilling to accept that exposure of her connection with Andrew led to her descent into being unnoticed.

She was even more unwilling to be

outshone by some lowly influencer! As she thought about it, a sharp gleam appeared in Raeyon's@yes.

She thought, 'Since I was shunned because of the scandal, what if Audrey's sponsor were exposed publicly? Won't she end up the same?'

Audrey better hoped they were not opponents this time; otherwise, Raeyon believed she wouldn't hold back.

Meanwhile, the voice of Jake, the

host, echoed in the center of the recording studio. "Let's reveal who Audie's opponent is for this round. She is..."

Jake paused intentionally for a moment, his gaze sweeping over all the contestants present, finally settling on one person. "Raeyon!"

The moment Jake said the name, the recording studio fell into complete silence. These two are facing off once again.

Last time, their debut stage was quite unpleasant. This time, it seemed they might really go all out against each other.

For a moment, everyone was unsure whether to pity Audrey or Raeyon. People in the audience whispered among themselves.

[Audie is really unlucky. Raeyon has such a bad reputation now that even beating her wouldn't be anything to boast about!]

[Exactly, if you ask me, Raeyon is shameless. She should've quit the competition long ago. When she loses to Audie in front of everyone again, let's see how she deals with the embarrassment.]

It was obvious that everyone agreed that Raeyon was likely to lose.

[If I were Audie, I'd put in all my effort to put Raeyon down. I just can't stand how arrogant she is.]
