Chapter 201
Chapter 201:
Sandra’s temples throbbed with frustration, her mind racing with worry that Maia might stir up trouble and ruin her daughter’s performance in the competition.
Without hesitation, she shouted at a staff member nearby, “Maia Watson isn’t registered to compete. Why is she even allowed in p>
The staff member knitted his brows, about to verify the claim, when he caught sight of Pattie behind Maia.
Pattie Miller?
Was Maia walking in with Pattie?
Pattie Miller was a well-known figure at MCN, recognized for being one of the key investors behind the singing competition.
Without hesitation, the staff member stepped aside and addressed Sandra firmly, “Sorry, ma’am, but spectators are allowed inside p>
A wave of shock drained the color from Sandra’s face.
Amused by Sandra’s blunder, Maia let out a soft chuckle.
Richard gave Sandra’s arm a tug, urging her back into her seat as he whispered, “You’re not a contestant either. Sit down and be quiet.” With a quick tilt of his chin, he pointed toward the cameras stationed around them.
Thanks to Rosanna, they had access to the venue. They were here to boost her image, and every action they took was being watched by the public eye.
Even though Sandra was fuming inside, she forced herself to stay silent.
At the same time, Maia’s unexpected arrival at this competition set Facebook abuzz once more.
“OMG, it’s Maia Watson! She’s gorgeous! I absolutely love her p>
“Where are all the haters now? Isn’t this a huge slap in the face? Maia showed up, and she looks amazing p>
But Rosanna’s fanbase wasn’t about to sit back and let Maia steal the spotlight. They jumped into the comments, firing shots at her.
“So ‘see you soon’ was just her showing up to ride on the fame, huh? How pathetic p>
“Rosanna’s got real talent and a solid shot at winning. Who does Maia Watson think she is, crashing the event p>
“Seriously? Dressing up like that just to be seen? She’s making a fool out of herself. What a clown p>
“Talent trumps a flashy outfit every single time p>
Just then, JusticeBlaze stormed back into the comment section, dropping his usual savage comebacks.
“Why are you all so agitated? Afraid that Maia will attract all the public eye? She’s definitely better looking than Rosanna and all of you p>
His words lit a fire under the angry commenters on Facebook, sending the thread into chaos.
Right after, Chris started liking every positive comment about Maia, his fingers tapping away at lightning speed.
Maia’s loyal fans weren’t about to sit back quietly either.
“Talking trash about Maia? Hope you’re ready to get your account suspended p>
Not long after, several of Rosanna’s supporters noticed something strange. Their accounts started crashing, and they couldn’t post anything anymore.
Off to the side, Pattie leaned in to whisper something to Maia, then quietly made her way out and approached the event organizers. With a small, knowing smile, Maia turned her attention toward the judges’ area on the stage.
That simple smile once again turned heads and stole hearts.
