Chapter 649 There's Something Important

When Quentin returned with the wine from the cellar, his attitude toward Alexander significantly changed. Not only did he warmly serve Alexander some food, but he also had a few drinks with Alexander. It truly felt as though he had married off his daughter. Quentin had gotten a little drunk, so Layla helped him upstairs to wash up after dinner.

Meanwhile, Elise and Alexander sat on the sofa and cuddled against each other. The television was playing her recent coffee commercial that had just been released. The entire room was tranquil except for the sound of the television.

Alexander was enjoying his time alone with her. He had one hand wrapped around her shoulders while his other hand played with hers.

"Mama really likes you," Elise spoke up suddenly.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly at those words, but he replied with a hint of regret, "It's a pity that Papa is still..."

"You don't need to worry about that." She smiled brightly. "Didn't you see that Mama wears the pants in the Fassbender Family? So, Papa's opinions are no longer important."

"Mama likes me only because she loves you so much." Her words amused him, so he leaned over and pressed his forehead against her. "But, thank you. Wifey, you and your family, have been so kind to me."

She put her arms around his neck and hugged him, nuzzling against his face like a little kitten. "They are also your family now."

He returned her hug, deeply enjoying the familiar feeling of her body against his.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap... At this moment, Joey rushed downstairs with her laptop in her arms. When she reached the living room, she saw the two of them hugging each other. Thus, she hurriedly turned around and covered her eyes. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It wasn't on purpose!"

Elise and Alexander looked at each other and smiled. Only then did they let go of each other and sat slightly apart. Then, she smiled faintly and asked, "What is it? Tell me."

Joey turned around, walked over with her laptop, and sat on the sofa next to Elise. "Take a look at this. Somebody has nominated you as a candidate for the 'National Goddess'. You're among the top five right now!"

Elise glanced at the screen. The girls on the screen were indeed quite good-looking. Be that as it may, she didn't pay much attention to this matter. "These voting systems have no practical significance. They are just gimmicks that the organizers use in order to attract the masses. There is no need to pay attention to this."

"But your fans are already rooting for you and putting effort into increasing your popularity," Joey said with a serious expression. "Are you sure you don't want to post some nice-looking pictures so that they have materials to bring in votes?"

To be honest, Elise felt that most of her fans were very adorable. Although what she needed was a large-scale effort to attract popularity right now, she did not wish to use them in that manner.

"No need," she said. "These kinds of election-type affairs can easily lead to fights between the fans. I don't want my fans to get hurt. So, just leave it up to fate."

"Alright then. I'll relay your words to the hardcore fans," Joey muttered.

"Huh?" Elise raised an eyebrow suspiciously. "Are you very close to the fans?"

"Hehe..." Joey scratched her head in embarrassment and gave a dry cough. Then, she sat up straight and announced proudly, "Let me formally introduce you. I am Lil Jojo, the leader of your fan club!"

"The leader of my fan club?" Elise was even more confused.

"Yup." Joey nodded and looked at Elise innocently. "Ever since those obsessive fans almost harmed you, I've infiltrated your fan club and formed an Anti-Obsessive Fan Alliance. At present, I am the leader of this alliance. But, of course, there's no helping it. I'm the little sister of an idol!" Elise was so amused by her she almost started laughing. "Okay, as long as you're happy. It's just that you are all girls. Don't put yourself in danger because of me. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry," Joey carelessly said. "You have quite a lot of male fans too. If we need to charge into battle, they will be very willing to help. They won't let us get injured." Alexander frowned upon hearing those words. That's not good news.

Elise simply smiled and dismissed everything as a joke. It was a given for fans and idols to mutually encourage each other. At the same time, their respective private lives should be kept independent and separate. The chances of their lives being linked together were not high, so there was nothing to be concerned about.

...

The voting process for the 'National Goddess' was in full swing. As the top scorer in the last college entrance examination, Tiana had an all-rounded development in terms of morality, intelligence, physique, and beauty. That was why she stood firmly in first place ever since the beginning of the voting.

Unlike before, when she perfunctorily pulled up the voting interface after she finished her shower today, she discovered a familiar face it was Elise Sinclair of Tissote University.

Two days ago, Elise's name was not even listed among the top ten rankings. However, she jumped to fourth place in the short span of forty-eight hours. Moreover, the number of votes she held was only 10,000 votes away from the third place.

If things continue at this rate, it will not be long before my position of first place in the rankings is compromised. Tiana's delicate face was seemingly covered in a layer of frost. At the same time, her hands, with their distinct joints, unconsciously squeezed the mouse tightly. Elise was well-known in the entertainment industry and had quite many fans. She must have instigated those fans who only knew how to appreciate garbage music to do this.

I seriously don't understand what is wrong with people nowadays. All they know are the trending pop songs. Can that kind of thing even be considered music? Only music played by classical instruments can be called real music. Elise is nothing more than a clown who is good at attracting publicity. Somebody like me, who grew up under the influence of the symphony, exists on entirely different levels. Comparing myself to Elise is a disgrace to my status.

Even so, it was precisely for this reason that Tiana could not allow herself to lose to Elise. She pondered for a moment and picked up her phone. Staring at the computer screen, she dialed a number. "Hey, do you know about the 'National Goddess' ranking..." It was 2:00 AM. Joey couldn't fall asleep, so she clicked on the 'National Goddess' voting link. In the time it took for her to blink, she saw the number of votes for Tiana, who held first place, increasing by one million votes suddenly.

She initially thought that there was something wrong with her eyes. So, she lifted her hand and vigorously rubbed her eyes. When she looked again, the votes had increased by another one million. It was evident that somebody was manipulating the votes. Isn't that cheating!? She was absolutely furious. Thus, she immediately picked up her laptop and began working. She was determined to dig out the person behind the manipulation of votes. It's not like my idol cannot afford to lose to others. But, she can only lose to somebody in a fair and square contest. She cannot lose to some garbage who plays such petty tricks in the shadows.

...

As soon as Alexander entered the office in Smith Co., he lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Johnny immediately stood up to report about work. "We have started the mining process in the mines in South Africa. The contractor..."

"Wait." Alexander raised a hand to interrupt. "Put these things aside for the moment. There's something more important that I need you to do first."

"Please give me your orders." Johnny immediately corrected his attitude, and his expression became stern. When he saw Melody entering the room, he did not forget to shoot her a warning look so that the other party did not make a sound.

Melody thought that something major had occurred, so she couldn't help becoming serious.

"I'm going to send you a link." Alexander sat up and seriously operated his mobile phone. "Make sure that all the staff in the company clicks on this link before 10 AM tomorrow."

"Yes. I guarantee that it will be done!" Johnny felt his blood boiling in excitement. The boss has finally come forward himself! He's about to do something big! He took a deep breath and clicked on the link. Almost immediately, his solemn expression turned into stunned disbelief. 'Welcome to the first 'National Goddess' voting election...'
