Chapter 39
However, the hashtag related to “Micro Love’s” studio demo didn’t stay on the trending chart for long, especially after Elena’s performance of “Yesterday Revisited” was broadcast.
“Yesterday Revisited” became extremely popular purely because the performance was too spectacular.
Although Alyssa had already forced the staff members to set the broadcast and music quality to their lowest during the performance, which had weakened the effect of the performance significantly, the shocking aspect of it was still successfully conveyed to the audience.
Elena, the masked singer, was incredibly mysterious. There wasn’t any information about her on the internet. Everyone was trying to figure out her identity, but they couldn’t find another singer who was
similar to her for the time being.
“That was so shocking. Oh my God. Who is she? I don’t think she’s an amateur.”
“I think so too. I thought Alyssa’s ‘Micro Love‘ would be the best performance for this broadcast. I never could have imagined that there was someone even more amazing waiting in the wings.”
“I’m guessing that she’s actually a veteran singer who changed her singing style. Why else would she hide
her face?”
“I came to the same conclusion. Let’s try to guess her identity together. This is so fun!”
“‘Micro Love‘ and ‘Yesterday Revisited‘ are two completely different–styled songs. I’m going to declare
that they’re the first love and lost love of ‘Celestial Voice’s‘ first live broadcast respectively!”
A few different hashtags were pushed to the top of the trending chart in an instant, including # MicroLoveYesterdayRevisited and #Celestial Voice FirstLoveAndLostLove.
The netizens expressed their own opinions using the hashtags. Some of them liked “Micro Love” while
some of them preferred “Yesterday Revisited“. However, since both songs were performed in different
styles, there was no clear winner among them.
While the internet was abuzz with discussion, Alyssa was so furious that she smashed the cup she was
holding on the ground.
She was relieved that the hashtag for “Micro Love’s” studio demo had fallen off the trending chart. She
had even found out that there were people who wanted to question her about the demo during the live
broadcast.
Fortunately, she had learned of this fact ahead of time, allowing her to stop it from happening altogether. Thus, the issue of the demo had been swept under the rug without any unnecessary attention being brought to it.
However, “Yesterday Revisited” was a whole other problem. She had already sabotaged the performance

by forcing the staff members to change the broadcast and music quality to the lowest setting, but it had still managed to achieve success.
“Don’t be angry, Aly,” the marketing team member, who was next to her, said comfortingly as he scanned through the data. “The netizens are saying that ‘Micro Love‘ and ‘Yesterday Revisited are on the same level. You didn’t lose.”
Alyssa glared at him before hissing coldly, “What I want is an absolute victory!”
Sweat beaded across the man’s forehead as he brainstormed for ideas. “How about this, Aly? We’ll have
our people spread the message that you’re not a professional singer. Despite that, you were able to achieve such excellent results during the first live broadcast.
“We’ll paint you as the unexpected dark horse of the show. You’ll definitely have the upper hand over
Elena then.”
Alyssa nodded, but there was still a fierce glint in her eyes.
The man wiped the sweat from his brow and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Alyssa wasn’t satisfied yet. As she watched the man pull out his tablet and send messages to the relevant people, she said, “Samuel, I’m the one who singlehandedly built your team from the ground up. You know exactly what I’ve done, and you also know exactly what you’ve done for my sake.”
Sweat beaded across Samuel Knight’s forehead again. He smiled, saying, “I was nothing but a nameless promoter at the time. I’m only where I am today after working with you.
“Don’t worry, Aly. I understand that we have to work together. Our team will reap the most benefits when we successfully help you become Mrs. Larson.”
“As long as you understand,” Alyssa said with a nod.
A plan began to form in her mind as she looked at the performance that was being displayed on the live broadcast. She couldn’t afford to underestimate Elena’s capabilities. On top of that, she was Jimmy’s kept woman, so Alyssa couldn’t act rashly either. That left her with only one choice–to use her.
Alyssa knew that her singing skills were inferior to Elena’s, so there was no point in challenging her directly. Instead, she would come up with a way to convince Elena to join her side and manipulate her
accordingly.
She smiled at the thought. After all, she already had leverage over Elena–the secret of her miscarriage. If she wanted to continue her career in the entertainment industry, her miscarriage had to remain a secret, at least while “Celestial Voice” was still broadcasting.
Elena would undoubtedly lose support from the fans if news of her miscarriage were leaked to the public. Her business value would also be completely destroyed.
