“Another color?” Charlie Wade’sment made Loreen pause for a moment before a realization hit her.


    She couldn’t help but exim, “Charlie Wade, now that you mention it, that does seem to be the case. Tawana has been working tirelessly to promote the blue camp, creating quite a buzz, and rallying her fans to vote. I never expected her to end up losing after putting in so much effort. If I were in her shoes, I’d be feeling pretty down about it.”


    As she spoke, a sigh escaped her lips. “I just saw her looking so unhappy earlier. I initially thought that perhaps the Mitsui family hadn’t paid her performance fee. If there’s indeed a conflict regarding the appearance fee before the show, she might end up missing the performance today. But on second thought, it seems unlikely that the Mitsui family would skimp on such a small amount…”<fn8bf9> Chapters first released on find[?]ovel</fn8bf9>


    ire couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Loreen, you’re being a bit harsh.”


    “Hehe.” Loreenughed, “Honestly, ire, while I enjoy Tawana’s music and appreciate her talent and performance style, I really can’t stand public figures who have hidden agendas. It bothers me that she ims to support sexual minorities. Sure, she can support them, but it’s unnecessary for her to constantly shout about it to her massive fanbase. Many of her fans are still minors, whock full understanding and judgment. It’s incredibly irresponsible to promote ideas that sh with mainstream values to such a vulnerable audience.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    When Charlie Wade heard Loreen’sments, he couldn’t help but exim, “Loreen, you’re remarkable; what you said is really impressive.” Loreen beamed and replied, “Don’t underestimate us; we have always had a strong sense of justice.”


    Meanwhile, Kelly West, who had been quiet, was busy texting Fei Kexin about her encounter with Charlie Wade.


    After finishing her message, she turned to Charlie Wade and asked, “Mr. Wade, what are your thoughts on the current situation in the United States? Are you leaning more towards blue or red?”


    Charlie Wade pondered for a moment and responded with a smile, “I wouldn’t say I’m biased towards either side. My hope is for the world to be more rational. It’s strange; in recent years, it seems like many odd things have cropped up. We’ve been taught since childhood that there are only two genders, yet now some people in the U.S. are iming there are nearly a hundred different genders. Personally, that’s a tough concept for me to ept.”


    He continued, “I watched a game yesterday where a male contestant, who identifies as a transgender woman,peted against and defeated numerous real women to reach the finals. While some argue that his rights are being respected, what about the rights of the women he defeated? Americans often use others of exaggerating, yet they seem to have a penchant for exaggeration themselves. They tend to lose sight of the bigger picture, sacrificing the rights of many for the sake of a few. It’s quite perplexing.”


    At that moment, Mitsui Yoshitaka finished his opening remarks and brief speech. He then nced at Tawana, who appeared despondent, and announced, “Next, I would like to wee our star of the day, the internationally renowned superstar Tawana Sweet, to the stage. She’s here to say a few words to everyone. After all, all the guests present, including my daughter, are fans of Miss Sweet. They usually enjoy her music, and today they finally have the chance to meet her in person and hear what she has to share.”


    The crowd erupted into cheers.
