Chapter 152 Isabella, don't pretend to be pitiful, hold back your tears!
No one was paying attention to Isabella's situation right now - everyone seemed pretty happy.
Especially around Amelia, there were particularly many people.
Various partners and all the contestants from this competition were chatting warmly.
After all, everyone would be in the same industry from now on, and might even face some collaborations.
As for William...
Before Amelia came over here, the various partners had also discussed things privately among themselves.
Before the finals, when they were boycotting Lika, all the investor representatives had gone to the Adams Villa for a meeting. Back then, it was the representatives from the Brown Group and the Jenkins Group who strongly protected Lika.
They didn't know what was really going on at the time, but now it was clear.
Perhaps it was because they all knew that Lika was Amelia.
Thinking this, one of the partners nearby asked York.
"Mr. York Jenkins, that day at the Adams Villa, did you have Mr. Otis Jenkins make that decision because of Lika's true identity?"
York smiled without directly answering yes or no.
He only said: "The Jenkins Group values Lika's abilities and development prospects, as well as the show's returns."
The person nodded. That made sense.
Everyone was a businessperson. Even if they knew that person was Amelia, she was William's wife and had nothing to do with the Jenkins Group.
At most, Otis was just a fan.
But the deciding factor was still Lika's actual ability.
With this understanding, everyone felt there was no problem and went to discuss business with others.
Soon, people started leaving one after another.
There were many people outside - supporters of various contestants, and even more people trying to block Amelia and Isabella.
This included countless reporters.
William's wife and mistress appearing on the same show - this was big news!
And with all the buzz online right now, every reporter didn't want to miss this scoop.
So when Amelia came out, she saw a huge crowd of people who all rushed forward and completely surrounded her.
A bunch of microphones were pointed at her, with reporters firing questions—
"Amelia, why did you wear a mask to participate in this show?"
"Amelia, what were your thoughts when you found out the judge was Isabella?"
"Amelia, after winning The Sound of Heaven championship, what are your plans going forward?"
"Amelia..."
Flashbulbs kept going off, almost lighting up the place like daylight.
Jeffrey's people immediately came over to block them and give Amelia a relatively safe space.
Amelia looked at these people with a perfectly measured smile on her face.
She didn't answer questions about Isabella, only choosing to respond selectively.
She said: "Wearing a mask was a result that the Adams Group and I discussed together."
She smiled and said: "Being able to win The Sound of Heaven championship is thanks to the love from all the audience inside and outside the venue. Thank you all."
With that, she bowed deeply in front of everyone.
"As for future development direction, I will discuss it together with the Adams Group, the agency I've signed with."
"I hope everyone will continue to support me."
After finishing, no matter how many questions reporters asked about Isabella or William, she didn't answer. She just returned to her van under the escort of Jeffrey's bodyguards.
However, before the car started, she heard a loud shout—
"Isabella, Isabella's coming out, quick, go block her!"
Then Amelia saw everyone rush toward Isabella's direction.
Sable's face was full of schadenfreude at this moment.
"Hahaha, she kept targeting us before, now it's her turn! I really want to see how she's going to explain herself this time!"
But Amelia felt it wasn't that simple.
Isabella had always been skilled at marketing. She just didn't know how she would handle it this time.
Jeffrey was already rushing over here, and from the crowd surrounding Isabella, someone screamed loudly—
"Isabella you homewrecker, aren't you afraid of paying the price for destroying someone else's marriage like this!"
"Right! Isabella, speak up, with us here today you can't escape!"
"Speak up! Isabella apologize!"
...
It could be said that the better she had marketed her image before, the more intense the backlash was now.
Many people who had supported her before now felt deceived, and their resentment was much greater than those who had never liked her from the start.
Of course, there were still people online supporting Isabella, who still thought she was a kind person.
It's just that those people wouldn't appear here.
The ones appearing here were all people with extreme resentment.
"Hahaha, so satisfying!" Sable said, pumping her fist. "She deserves it!"
The car dipped as Jeffrey got in.
Sable was still craning her neck to look over there.
Amelia found Sable's behavior amusing.
"Alright, close the door and let's go," Amelia said. "If more and more people gather, we won't be able to leave."
Although Sable felt it was a shame, she knew this made sense, so she reluctantly closed the door.
The car started and drove out.
However, before completely turning the corner, Amelia glanced out the car window toward Isabella's direction where she was surrounded.
"What's wrong?" Jeffrey noticed Amelia's behavior and asked.
Amelia shook her head, only saying: "I'm just curious how she's going to handle this."
Jeffrey laughed heartily.
"Don't worry about her, let's go eat something good, we need a celebration dinner!" Jeffrey said cheerfully.
"Sounds good." Amelia nodded, though they wouldn't go to Moonlight Bar this time.
She didn't want to run into Harold there again and have William called over to make a scene.
This matter was finally settled. Next would be various business dealings with other companies, lawsuits with the Martinez family's old subordinates, and Briar's illness.
The application process for surgery had been completed, and they could go for the operation soon.
Thinking of Briar's face, Amelia felt warm inside.
Here, the group chatted and laughed as they headed to the celebration dinner, while outside The Sound of Heaven recording venue, Isabella was facing a huge crowd.
Countless people who felt deceived were pointing at her and even cursing.
And the reporters hadn't let her go either, with countless microphones pointed at her—
"Isabella, many people are now saying you're the third party who interfered in William and Amelia's marriage. What do you have to say about this?"
"Isabella, there are rumors in The Sound of Heaven that you deliberately targeted Lika, who is Amelia. How do you respond to this?"
"Isabella, what exactly is your relationship with William? Did you interfere in someone else's marriage?"
...
Every question was sharp. She wanted to leave, but there were many people surrounding her inside and out. Unless someone cleared a path, she couldn't leave at all.
Isabella was angry inside, but her face looked very broken.
She said with red eyes: "I didn't know Lika was Amelia."
Tears streamed down: "And I'm not a homewrecker."
She looked pitiful.
But a loud shout came from the crowd— "We're not William, don't act pitiful with us, hold back your tears!"
