Chapter 175
But from the very beginning, he sent messages to Roxanne, but Roxanne just didn’t reply.
Kenneth was a bit anxious. He saw that the sixth singer on stage had already finished singing and was asking for votes. He got worried and sent another message to hurry things up.
So why didn’t Roxanne reply?
She was blocked.
She hadn’t even walked out of the staff passage when someone was already looking at her with a big smile.
That guy said, “Ms. Gregg, we’ve got something here we think you’ll be really interested in.”
Roxanne didn’t want to pay attention, but the other person had already played a recording.
It was just now, the recording of Roxanne talking in the staff hallway, and Roxanne’s face changed right away.
“Ms. Gregg, think about it, we had the equipment here since the first live of ‘The Ethereal Voice,‘ just think about what you said.”
“You guys actually recorded us without permission!” Roxanne said through gritted teeth. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll sue you?”
The guy kept grinning and said, “You think we’re in this business and don’t have a backup plan?”

“And, was it more important that we got sued, or that your secret got out?”
“Ms. Gregg, I only gave you three seconds to think. If you didn’t agree, my partner would take the same thing to Serena. I thought she would be very interested.”
“And I thought Stephanie would be interested too. Ms. Gregg, give us a little money and you could keep a tight hold on Mr. Humphrey. Otherwise, if he found out what you were really like, that wouldn’t be worth it.”
As he spoke, the other person started counting.
“One.”
“Two.”
Roxanne agreed to go with him before he even finished counting to three.
On the other side, in Serena’s private lounge.
Stephanie thought it was a bit weird that Roxanne actually didn’t share what happened next.
She and Jeremiah next to her looked at each other.
Jeremiah also looked confused.
This wasn’t like Roxanne’s style.
At this point, the sixth/singer had already finished asking for votes, and now it was time for some ads and a few other shows.
It was just so the audience inside and outside could vote.

It was fine inside, everyone was voting in an orderly way. The main thing was that the online voting was still a fierce battle.
Serena was definitely number one, mainly because the votes for the next few were really close.
Every contestant had their own fans, and online voting didn’t just let you vote for one contestant–you could vote for a bunch at the same time, with lots of votes.
Roxanne didn’t look good when she came out of that little dark room.
The other side took the chance and asked for ten million.
But where could she get ten million in such a short time?
And it wasn’t worth it, either.
“Ms. Gregg, you could pay us 2 million first, and for the rest, you could go ask Maxwell. I think, with Maxwell’s wealth, just 10 million wasn’t much, right.”
Roxanne had to transfer the 2 million first, then leave.
The people inside weren’t afraid she wouldn’t give them the rest, since they had the stuff.
More accurately, those guys all had their eyes shining.
“Boss, you really were the best. You kept saying ‘just wait a bit,‘ and I was getting impatient, but now it’s proven that the older, the wiser! You picked the perfect timing, she had no way out, haha.”
“The boss is the boss, the boss is awesome!”
The people inside cheered, but they didn’t notice that as Roxanne walked out, a cold look of killing intent flashed in her eyes.

What’s the point of just buying them off, gotta silence them!
Otherwise, these people would keep blackmailing her over and over again.
