Leila excitedly said, "How could they not? You're way ahead at number one, and Helena, who's in second place, has almost one million fewer votes than you.

"Helena's votes are quite inflated, yet she's still ranked behind you. She's probably furious right now." Hearing that, Audrey suddenly glanced at Alistair beside her. She thought, 'Could it be that my high online ranking is because he paid to boost it?'

Audrey's face darkened a bit, and she said to the person on the phone, "I have a few things to take care of right now. Can we meet later to chat? Is that okay?"

Leila, not giving it much thought, cheerfully agreed, "Sure thing. I won't disturb you then. See you later." After hanging up the call, Audrey looked at Alistair.

Under her gaze, Alistair lifted an eyebrow and innocently asked, "What's going on?"

Audrey asked, "Why am I ranked first in online popularity? Did you spend money on this for me?"

After finding out that Logan had spent millions on votes for her, she had already told Alistair not to waste money on her like that in the future.

Audrey sighed and said, "I know you have money, but I really don't want you spending it on this."

Hearing this, Alistair chuckled and said, "Audrey, have you ever thought that you might be number one because of your own abilities?"

"No way..." Audrey instinctively shook her head in denial. "If it's about talent on stage, I'd agree. But popularity comes from audience appeal, and I'm really not that likable."

Alistair argued back, "How can you say that? Many people like you, Audrey. Don't underestimate yourself.

I really didn't get involved in this voting; it was all your fans voting for you."

Audrey was still in disbelief, and she muttered, "I... do I really have that many fans now?"

Alistair nodded, his tone slightly mournful. "Of course, there are so many people who like you now. I

wanted to spend money on you, but didn't even have the chance."noveldrama

He genuinely considered spending

money to get Audrey to the top. But before he could take action, those who had previously misunderstood Audrey seemed to have a change of heart. They all went wild voting for her to apologize.

This group was so enthusiastic that, without much effort, they pushed her to the top spot in popularity. Audrey never expected to become famous in such a way. Seeing Alistair looking somewhat pitiful, she couldn't help but laugh.

She thought, 'Who would've thought that Mr. Hayes, a man wealthier than a nation, would ever find himself unable to outspend others?'

She laughed, wrapped her arm around his, and gave it a gentle shake, saying, "Alright, don't be upset. No matter what others do, they can't surpass the place you hold in my heart.'

With that simple sentence, Alistair was quickly cheered up.

His face softened, but he followed up with a question. "Does this 'someone else' include Sunny?"

Audrey was taken aback. Once she processed it, she felt a bit speechless.

She thought, 'Who would have thought that Mr. Hayes, a powerful figure outside, would be such a childish guy, even getting jealous of his son?'

If the people in the business world knew, they would be totally disillusioned.

Audrey suddenly had a hunch. She grabbed Alistair and asked, "Last night, did you purposely play games with Sunny until midnight just to make him so sleepy that he couldn't get up in the morning so you could drive me to work alone?"

She knew she felt like she had forgotten something when she left the house this morning. Turns out it was her son...

Audrey originally wanted to test

Alistair. But when she saw him awkwardly touch his nose, she immediately realized she was right. He actually had plans against his six-year-old son.

On the surface, he claimed he was playing games with Sunny, but in truth, he intended to wear Sunny out

so he'd sleep late, allowing him to take her to work alone.

Audrey thought, 'It's really hard to even judge this!'
