Goodbye, Ex-husband! I'm Pregnant with Your Uncle's Child!-Chapter 70 - You’re Actually Preparing Milk Tea

At Strong Health, Thomas Sullivan held meetings with various department heads, while at the Quarter Family, Noah Quarter had also called a meeting.

The atmosphere at the two companies was different.

One was charged with eager anticipation, the other was somber.

Noah Quarter’s cool eyes swept over the department heads, “Why did LB suddenly announce without warning that they would no longer entrust us with manufacturing?”

The business manager responsible for LB internally wailed, “Sorry, Chairman, we haven’t received any news regarding this matter previously, and are currently contacting LB.”

The two companies had always maintained a good relationship; it made no sense for such an announcement to be made suddenly.

Noah Quarter tapped his finger on the table, “First issue an announcement that the company’s operations are normal to stabilize the shareholders’ confidence.”

Being such a large group, the Quarter Family was only affected to a controllable extent, even though LB was one of their major clients.

Julia Land had been busy all day following Sullivan, and in the afternoon, she received a message from Douglas Hayes.

Douglas Hayes, [Tonight at seven, “Let’s Sing Together” is broadcasting live.

Do you want to come watch?]

Julia Land took a sip of coffee, squinted her eyes, [Not going.]

After all, she could watch the live broadcast on her computer.

“Let’s Sing Together” program venue.

The stars who were performing tonight were all backstage.

Top stars had their own dedicated makeup rooms.

Due to her backing capital, Arabella Shaw was also provided with a personal makeup room by the production team.

Sister Wilson had already obtained the list of five groups of participants for tonight from the production crew.

This list was made available to the guests one hour before the show began.

“Arabella, this time you are paired with Anneliese.

Her voice matches well with yours.”

Arabella Shaw confidently declared, “There’s absolutely nothing to worry about this time.”

Per the show rules, each pair of guests would each sing a solo, and then perform a duet.

The winners would be determined by the votes of the judges, the live audience, and online fans.

It was normal for the more famous stars to receive more votes, given their large fan bases.

However, the production crew had set up an additional Best New Artist award for those who were not top stars.

The singers who won the Best New Artist award each episode would compete against each other in a finale, by which time their fan base would have undoubtedly increased.

In other words, it meant fame.

Tonight, Arabella Shaw had specially hired a renowned makeup team.

She wore a perfectly combined black and red strapless gown, a style more alluring and elegant compared to her usual demure and playful attire.

Sister Wilson pointed at a familiar name on the list, Austin Langston, “Austin Langston is here too.”

Arabella Shaw glanced at the list, “Didn’t expect Orange Brokerage to have that much capability.”

Sister Wilson put down the list, “I wonder which song she will sing?”

“No need to worry too much,” Arabella Shaw said softly after sending a selfie she had just taken to Noah Quarter, “If Austin Langston doesn’t get a good song, she won’t win against me.”

Arabella Shaw’s new album, which included two songs, was already in the top ten on various music charts.

Her solo song was one of them, “Leap.”

Austin Langston had not even released a single song yet.

What did she have to compare with her?

The show began.

The judges had already seen the list.

“There’s a newcomer in the competition this time?” a male judge exclaimed in surprise.

“A newcomer signed by Orange Brokerage, Austin Langston, singing a song that hasn’t been released yet.”

It always took courage to debut on this program without any fan base, as all past performers had some level of fan support.

Another judge said, “I’m looking forward to the newcomer’s performance, and also Arabella Shaw from Winchester Place.

She’s very promising.

I’ve listened to her latest album.”

The judges chatted for a bit at the start of the show.

The host took the stage.

“Good evening, everyone!

We won’t talk much,” the host said, easily stirring the atmosphere of the venue.

“Let’s welcome Arabella Shaw, who brings us one of her latest top-charting songs, ‘Leap!'”

“Please welcome her.”

Applause erupted.

Arabella Shaw’s fans screamed her name.

Arabella Shaw walked onto the stage with a smile, her elegant gown enhancing her beauty.

The moment she took the stage, the music started simultaneously.

The opening music was instantly exhilarating.

＊

Sitting in the car, Julia Land casually watched the live broadcast, Arabella’s explosive singing filling the car.

James Thompson, who was initially working, stopped and fetched a cup of chilled cream tea from the refrigerator for Julia.

“Drink while you listen.”

Julia Land glanced at the man with a discerning eye.

“You actually stocked this kind of tea in the refrigerator?”

“It’s tea prepared just for you,” James said calmly.

Doctor Thompson really had a way with words.

Julia was momentarily moved and hooked her arm around his neck, playfully putting herself at his mercy.

Assistant Winters, who was driving, thoughtfully raised the partition.

When their kiss ended.

Arabella’s song also came to an end.

Applause from the audience resounded from the computer.

Julia Land, her lips moist and eyes gleaming, sent a message to Austin Langston, “Good luck.”

The judges also gave Arabella’s song a glowing review.

“Your voice has a lot of power, and this song’s composition and lyrics suit your vocals perfectly.”

“Thank you, teacher.”

After listening to the judges’ reviews, Arabella bowed with a smile to express her gratitude.

She walked off the stage and looked at Austin Langston who was preparing to go on, showing a gentle yet mocking smile.

“Austin Langston, good luck.”

Austin turned his head and looked at Arabella with a faint smile.

“Thank you, I will do my best.”

The host once again announced the next guest, “Next, we have Austin Langston.

She will present a song that has not yet been released, ‘Bird.'”

“Please welcome Austin Langston to the stage!”

The applause that followed was noticeably sparse.

People whispered among themselves, “Who is Austin Langston?

I’ve never heard of her.”

“‘Bird’?

Who wrote that song?

I don’t expect much from it; I still think Arabella Shaw’s ‘Leap’ was better.”

“I’m blindly guessing this episode’s best new artist award will go to Arabella Shaw.”

In the car, Julia Land sipped her cream tea, watching Austin take the stage.

James Thompson leaned over and, when she parted her lips, he held her hand and took a sip of the tea as well.
