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
The celebration gala had ended, and Catherine was ready to go back and rest. However, her arm was tightly grabbed by Branden. Catherine turned to look at him, her eyes filled with confusion. "What's wrong?"Branden smiled at Catherine, his eyes filled with gentleness. His deep voice sounded incredibly charming as he said, "You won the competition. Shouldn't we celebrate?"Before Catherine could respond, Branden led her into the car, holding her hand. Paxton, who arrived late, sat in the driver's seat and briefed them on the basic situation."Sir, I've made contact with the Wales. Nash will no longer appear in Casier starting tonight!"Branden's eyes grew cold. He remained silent in response to Paxton. Sitting beside them, Catherine clearly heard what Paxton had said. She was not surprised and had no intention of speaking up for Nash.They were all adults and should be brave enough to face the consequences. If Nash was willing to take the blame for the person he loved, then h
Instantly, everyone's attention was focused on Catherine and Branden, as the news shouted out by Aidan was genuinely astonishing.Especially Ronin, his eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. His voice trembled as he said, "B-Boss..."The moment Aidan spoke up, Catherine sightly furrowed her brows, but soon her expression turned calm."Calm down."The two cold words instantly calmed Ronin. He carefully observed Catherine and figured that it probably wasn't cohabitation.As for Aidan, he already knew he had caused an enormous mess. He cowered behind Triston, seeking refuge. He was now filled with anxiety, worried that Branden would come storming out of the car in anger to silence him forever.After all, Branden's gaze was extremely intimidating just now.Branden rolled up the window, knowing there was no point in arguing with the single guys outside the car.Paxton understood Branden's intentions and stepped on the gas pedal, leaving the scene and a cloud of dust behind t
Branden and Catherine returned to the residential area and coincidentally ran into Audrey downstairs.Audrey, with a tired expression, was dragging her suitcase. The dark circles around her eyes were obvious.Hearing a voice behind her, Audrey instinctively turned around and saw Catherine and Branden standing there."Hey, Kathy!" Audrey greeted happily, and Catherine nodded calmly in response.Having grown accustomed to her sister's temperament, Audrey didn't think much of it, but she looked at Catherine with a face full of regret."Kathy, I heard that you performed on stage at a celebration gala. Why didn't you invite me? I could have cheered you on, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see your performance!" Audrey learned about the news from Triston's social media, where he had explicitly posted a photo of himself with Aidan, saying they were there to support Catherine.Audrey was indignant. Why was Triston notified and able to support Catherine but not her, Catherine's own si
The thing Catherine asked Grayson to do wasn't difficult. She asked if Grayson knew anyone suitable to be a celebrity assistant."Is it for Audrey?" Grayson asked.Catherine made a disgruntled sound in response to Grayson.Grayson knew Catherine always protected her loved ones. She would protect them in every way.Audrey was lucky. She wasn't a bad person. The fact that Catherine was willing to live with her meant that Audrey had been accepted as Catherine's sister. Naturally, Catherine was willing to protect her, and it was normal for Catherine to arrange a job for her."Boss, I used to have a good and hardworking assistant. She got fired by the company because she was a girl. How about I introduce her to Audrey?" Grayson suggested."Sure!" Catherine responded to Grayson. She knew Grayson well. Compared to Ronin, Grayson was more mature. He knew exactly what he wanted and had clear goals for the future.The reason Audrey was so exhausted was because she didn't have an assistant
Bryan stopped the car, and Ronin made a gesture, signaling him not to speak. Bryan's hand froze in an instant. He slowly turned back and sat quietly in his seat, not even daring to open the door for fear of disturbing Catherine's rest. Grayson saw that they hadn't gotten out of the car and looked through the window to see Catherine leaning against the seat. His view was obstructed, preventing him from seeing inside the car clearly. Despite this, he could still guess what was happening. He stopped in his tracks, standing in place, not approaching. Bryan squinted at Grayson standing in front, a top-tier celebrity who was usually surrounded by countless fans waiting for him day and night. Now, he willingly stood there, waiting for Catherine to wake up. It was evident how powerful Catherine's charm was, as it unconsciously evoked a sense of awe and respect for her in people's hearts.Catherine hadn't been asleep for long. After the sound of the car engine completely ceased, she slow
