In just one week, under Martin's quiet encouragement and push, Alexandrovich had transformed from a movie star to a socialite and opinion leader, winning great reputation and public support.

Under the pressure of public opinion, the Security Bureau did not halt its investigation into the case; in fact, it was digging deeper, and the case gradually became linked to France.

Some things are feared once you start to seriously investigate them because they are not deeply concealed.

One clue after another was unearthed; there appeared to be no issues on the Los Angeles side, but many clues pointed towards the Carly Model Company in France.

This modeling agency, founded by the French fashion godfather Brunel, had cultivated supermodels such as Monica Bellucci, Milla Jovovich, and Christy Turlington and enjoyed a huge reputation throughout Europe.

But according to the Security Bureau's investigation, the Carly Model Company was involved in the disappearance of at least 100 Ukrainian models.

Ukraine formally approached France, requesting the French authorities to investigate this matter.

Of course, the French didn't care about Ukraine.

Brunel was a bona fide billionaire, after all.

Alexandrovich stepped forward once again, urging the French authorities to thoroughly investigate the matter and demanding an explanation from the Carly Model Company.

The French didn't take it seriously, and the Carly Model Company maintained its silence.

As the public opinion waves within Ukraine rose higher and higher, Alexandrovich's personal prestige skyrocketed.

This month, to say that Alexandrovich was the number one celebrity in Ukraine was not an exaggeration.

And the grand final of the Saintess Pop Group talent competition organized and hosted by Alexandrovich had become the focus of attention across Europe.

On the day of the grand final, it caused a sensation across the CIS, and the viewership was unimaginably high.

The contest spanned three nights, and in addition to individual talent and figure presentations, they also added a three-person impromptu team performance on the last night.

Misha, Erica, and Nastya, who had prepared in advance, performed exceptionally well.

The dark-haired Nastya wore a white miniskirt, the brunette Misha wore a red miniskirt, and the blonde Erica wore a black miniskirt. Moreover, they had modified their skirts so that they easily exposed themselves while singing and dancing.

This earned them a very high support rate.

Before deciding the final result of the competition, Martin, Alexandrovich, and Lebrov briefly exchanged opinions.

Since Martin came to be a judge, he asserted his choice unabashedly, "I choose Nastya, Misha, and Erica. The reason is not only that their performance and appearance are among the top few but also because of the recent series of events that have stirred public opinion, and we are the beneficiaries."

He looked around and said, "Alexandrovich has become a leader among the public, and the 1+1 TV Channel's influence has spread across half of Europe. Even our contest and commercial advertising revenue have surged. All these flames were sparked by the crucial clues provided by these three girls."

Compared with Martin's meticulous approach, Lebrov was more interested in the expansion of the TV station's influence and the explosive growth in commercial revenue and had no objections, "I agree as well."

Alexandrovich still remembered that the three girls had proactively come forward to provide clues, and said, "They also put on the best performance in the team act."

It's widely known that talent show contests are always rife with behind-the-scenes manipulation and murky dealings.

Martin, however, conducted himself with relative transparency.

After a brief commercial break, the program quickly resumed, and Martin, as a judge, announced the final results.

In the first row below the stage, fifteen beautiful contestants awaited the verdict of fate.

Erica was so nervous she was nearly suffocating, hands clasped and praying to God.

Misha muttered under her breath, "Can we win? Can we win? Can we win?"

The youngest, Nastya, appeared quite composed, her gaze fixed on Martin. She hadn't ruled out using other means, but the three people who could really influence the competition had been busy with other matters recently and were out of reach.

The hundreds of spectators on-site fell silent.

In front of the TV, possibly tens of millions of people were also waiting for the results.

Martin stepped up to the microphone and declared, "The winners of this selection competition are Mia Romanova, Erica-Herzog, and Anastasia Zhekrupnikova."

The venue erupted with a thunderous applause, some delighted, some sorrowful.

Erica hugged her two good sisters tightly, "We did it! We did it!"

Misha planted a solid kiss on Nastya's cheek.

Whispering into their ears, Nastya said, "I wasn't wrong, was I? Everything we've done is worth it!"

Alexandrovich, holding the microphone, came to the center stage and loudly announced, "Welcome the new generation of Saintess Pop Group—Erica, Misha, and Nastya to the stage!"

Nicky was somewhat downhearted, but she was psychologically prepared. After the incident where she was nearly trafficked, she knew she could not win.

Misha and Erica stepped back, allowing Nastya to walk onto the stage first.

The three excited girls walked onto the stage one after the other, and Alexandrovich welcomed them.

Nastya, Misha, and Erica all performed the cheek-to-cheek greeting with him.

Alexandrovich glanced at Martin on the other side, and thinking of the prestige he had recently gained, he made a decision.

He quietly turned off the microphone, covering his mouth and whispered to the three, "Martin chose you; you are outstanding."

Nastya was stunned for a moment, and as she walked toward Martin, she quickened her steps, and while performing the cheek-to-cheek greeting, she also hugged him tightly, saying, "Thank you."
