Hearing his wife's frightened look, Jameson hurriedly comforted her.Sylvia was more than ten years younger than Jameson. She looked perfect for her age. She was almost forty but seemed only thirty.She was adept at manipulation and coquetry, so Jameson adored her deeply. Jameson patted Sylvia's back and glared at Terrance. "How could you say that to Sylvia? Apologize!"Terrance was so disappointed with his father.He went about the trouble Aaron caused and begged for forgiveness. Yet, his father took Sylvia's side and rebuked him.Terrance could not stand it anymore.He finally understood that Aidan was right about his family.The Blatons were so hopeless. It was time for Terrance to draw a line with them and save himself.He looked up at his father, his eyes firm. "Dad, the only thing we can do is to cast Aaron and this bitch out of our family. In that case, our family might still have hope."His words irritated Sylvia, but she was scheming and clever enough not to curse T
On Grayson's face, the thin bangs hid his bright eyes, staring fixedly at where Catherine stood.Catherine did not speak a word among the crowd but was still in the spotlight. Grayson's usual calmness had a crack on it.Catherine walked away from the crowd that surrounded her.She took several steps ahead and realized someone was following her.Catherine stopped, whirled around, and narrowed her eyes. She looked indolently and casually at Grayson. "What do you want?"Grayson did not expect her to stop, and he would subconsciously follow her out.Catherine was like sunshine. People would want to follow her steps without even realizing it."Catherine, you have an excellent voice and a good sense of pitch. I heard that you wrote the song yourself. Is that true?"When Grayson heard Catherine sing, he found her voice mind-blowing.After hearing from people around that Catherine wrote the song on her own, Grayson was even more amazed by her musical talent.Catherine was now sizing
Ronin received an email. It was an anonymous one that was sent to Sugar's business email.The email said a high school student plagiarized Sugar's song and lied that she wrote it, using it to chase fame.Ronin was furious just reading the email title. He could not help but swear, "What the hell? Damn it. Let me see who the plagiarist is. I must teach her a lesson!"When he clicked open the email, he first saw Catherine's photo.He was perplexed and scanned the text.The email content talked about how Catherine had plagiarized Sugar's song. Ronin rolled his eyes and closed the Mail app.Ronin wondered which idiot dared to do such a stupid thing.It was so hateful to waste his time.What a hilarious thing that Catherine would plagiarize herself!Ronin did not know why people nowadays were so weird. Why would they send such a boring email? He was so speechless about it.He had no time for this. He still had codes to modify.Some lunatics kept attacking their base, and Ronin nee
Liana's performance had been arranged after Catherine's, but Liana wanted to take the lead to impress the audience before Catherine, so she switched the order with Jessica.Jessica naturally agreed.She wished Liana could beat Catherine and avenge her."Liana, don't worry. I already asked my fans to be prepared. They will all vote for you, and so will I. You will surely win the championship."Liana put on a bashful smile and looked somewhat embarrassed."Jessica, thank you so much. You are so kind, but I..."Jessica interrupted her words. "There's no 'but.' I want you to be the winner, and that's it."Now, you need to powder your nose and freshen up. You are about to perform. You need to look astonishing."Liana smiled slightly and turned to walk toward the stage.The moment she turned around, the smile on her face was gone.Her eyes were a little like Catherine's, and in them flashed a hint of coldness. Liana never thought that she would be the one to benefit from the fight
The celebration gala came to an end. Many of the judges were celebrities in the industry. These big shots made the celebration gala a media frenzy, creating a new trending topic for today.The smile on the principal's face never faded, and as one of the judges, he also voted for Catherine's team. This was not only because they were famous but also because their performance was truly outstanding, giving him a sense of excitement in his old age.After going around with Nash, Liana returned to the auditorium.The selection began, and the principal stood on the stage with the award results in hand."Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is my honor to stand on this stage and announce tonight's champion. The champion tonight is..." The principal deliberately paused momentarily before excitedly saying, "Catherine's team! Congratulations!""Wow..."Cheers and screams filled the entire venue.Compared to the enthusiasm and cheers from the crowd, Catherine remained calm. She sat quiet
The scene was in an uproar as the two songs were undeniably similar. After teachers of the music department analyzed them, they confirmed that they were both composed by the same person, or rather, the latter was a slightly modified version of the former.Many people knew that Catherine claimed to be the creator of this song. Now, it was so similar to the music of a famous musician, which was clearly plagiarism.The young man who exposed Catherine listened to the surrounding discussions and felt he had received reinforcements. He pointed at Catherine triumphantly, saying, "The reason she dares to plagiarize is because this song was posted by Sugar on a forum a long time ago. She ruined a great musician's work. Do you think someone like her deserves to be the champion?"Branden stood in the audience, accompanied by Triston. Seeing Branden's cold expression, Triston quietly asked him, "Mr. Duncan, should I arrange for a couple of guys to drag this guy away and shut him up?""This fou
Facing the reporters' questions, Liana looked troubled. She had been speaking on behalf of Catherine, but her demeanor revealed some new information."Don't blame my sister. It's probably just a misunderstanding. She just came back from the countryside. She may not know the rules. She thought that by adapting it, it would be her work. But her singing voice is good, isn't it? She has never learned music before, so being able to sing so well is already very impressive. The celebration gala is just an artistic competition, not a creative one, right?"While insisting on preserving Catherine's champion title, she inadvertently confirmed the accusation that Catherine plagiarized Sugar's work.The young man who exposed Catherine earlier suddenly became arrogant again."Hmph, so she hasn't even learned music before, huh? Then how dare she say she is Sugar? Can't believe she's such a shameless person!"Catherine leaned to the side as if watching a show. She felt that if this performance we
Ronin held up Sugar's email, which displayed the report sent by the so-called "fan." The young man's eyes widened, almost popping out of his head. His stuttered, lips trembling, "How... How is this possible?"Ronin sneered. "I was wondering which idiot sent my boss such a stupid message. So it was you who did it, you four-eyed loser! Are you saying that we're pulling a plagiarism stunt on ourselves? How ridiculous!"With Grayson as a witness and the email as physical evidence, there was no doubt that Catherine was the legendary music composer, Sugar.As people marveled at Catherine's identity, they were even more astonished by her talent and youth. They couldn't believe someone so young could create such exceptional music.A curious journalist stepped forward and asked, "Catherine, why didn't you admit it when everyone was questioning you earlier?"Catherine looked disdainfully at the journalist, exuding an air of dominance. "Who are you? Why should I answer your questions?"He
