How could Laila not see through her thoughts, she coldly smiled and announced in public, "Your song, the climax part, is a direct copy of Peyton's "Desire"!"As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent. What? Gina's piece, the climax part, was actually a direct copy of Peyton's piece?!Peyton was a legend in the piano world, and in recent years, he has won numerous prestigious awards both domestically and internationally. He was considered a master on par with Tanner, sharing the top spot.But Peyton was more mysterious than Tanner, no one had seen her face, and no one knew how old she really was."Ms. Haynes, how are you so certain that Gina copied Peyton's work?"The host attempted to mediate, "I am also a fan of Peyton, but I didn't know Peyton had a song called 'Desire'... Do you have any evidence?"Gina felt a sense of relief in her heart. Even the host had never heard of Peyton's "Desire". Moreover, the climax of the song, she clearly took it from Abigail's ro
No, she could not easily admit to plagiarizing this matter!Otherwise, her piano career would come to a complete end in her lifetime.Because the glory brought by the second place would also disappear.The spittle of the crowd would drag her into the abyss.In this lifetime, she could never wash away the stain on herself.Others would also treat her as a joke.Once she admitted to the plagiarism, her parents, Maximo would definitely be disappointed in her, her aunt and uncle would dislike her even more, refusing to let her step into the Guzman family. Others who supported her and liked her would also turn against her.She could not be defeated by this matter!She had to grit her teeth and said, "All of this is your one-sided words, included in the textbook? Who saw it?""You..." Laila was infuriated by the girl's lack of remorse, "Fine, I will make you admit defeat!"She had someone take a video of the latest teaching materials and project the sheet music onto the big screen."This is
And now, only Abigail herself could fiercely slap Gina's face!Abigail: ...She originally wanted Gina to roll out of this industry, not wanting to show her face...But unfortunately, some people are shameless and refuse to admit even though they clearly plagiarized.Everyone followed Laila's gaze and looked surprised. Was that girl Peyton?"Was she Peyton? It can't be true...""But Ms. Haynes was clearly looking over there, and there was no one else around except for that girl.""Peyton won numerous piano awards both domestically and internationally, there was no way she could be just a little girl...""Was the lighting a bit dim, and Ms. Haynes mistook someone? She looked like a high school student!"Because the spotlight was shining on the stage, the audience seats were relatively dim, but everyone still noticed that top-tier beautiful face, exuding a chilling aura in the darkness."If Ms. Haynes claimed to be Peyton, I would still have some belief, but that girl, how could she pos
Peyton was just too young and too good-looking...They thought Peyton must be the same age as Ms. Haynes...Gina couldn't believe her ears. Abigail was really Peyton?! How is that possible!Even Elliott, Marlene, and Maximo in the audience, their expressions were shocked, unable to believe..."Did Peyton's piano skills ever get questioned by a younger generation? She could play the piano with her eyes closed, let alone with her back turned to the piano, bouncing her hands off, and still play better than you!"The audience erupted again.Gina's complexion, which could no longer be described as pale, but she still insisted, "Is that so? Since her piano skills are so profound, then please have her come up on stage and play for everyone!"Ha! What a big attitude!No one has ever dared to make such an unreasonable demand!Does she think too highly of herself, this younger generation?"If the song is hers, she can play it without reading the sheet music. If not, then she is not Peyton, and
Courtney listened to Abigail's impromptu performance and had only one question in her mind: why was she able to perform so well without any preparation?Over the years, Courtney has also heard a lot of obscure piano pieces. She can be sure that the melodies Abigail just played have never been published on the market before. Most likely, they were truly improvised!Why can't a melody that is not pondered repeatedly and carefully crafted be performed so brilliantly on the spot?Before, she was ignorant and asked others if they had learned to play the piano or won any awards.Still showing off in front of others, boasting about having won over fifty first places since childhood and being a disciple of the renowned piano master Sariah.It was absolutely embarrassing, to the point of being ashamed.Sariah was nothing compared to Peyton in front of her.Peyton was a legend in the piano world, and no one has been able to surpass him until now!She won numerous prestigious awards both domesti
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience erupted.I thought Gina had been learning the piano from childhood until now, but I never expected... she only started in high school?Gina whispered in defense, "Later, my biological parents hired a piano teacher for me..."She hadn't finished defending herself when she heard Abigail ask in a soft voice, "Is this the piano teacher you mentioned?"A young female teacher walked up to the stage, glanced at Gina, and greeted everyone, "Hello, everyone. I am Gina's piano teacher. I taught her piano for a month..."One month...She actually only learned the piano for one month.The crowd was stunned."She had never had any contact with the piano before. At first, I taught her to recognize famous classical pieces, but she found it difficult to remember each melody and often made mistakes in her finger placement. However, a few days later, she suddenly had a breakthrough and composed a melody, asking me for feedback.""I had never seen s
"Yes, yes, yes! Master, you can rest assured.""Master, when did you create new music again? We, your fans, have been waiting for too long."***Abigail smiled slightly and said, "I will do it as soon as possible.""Great!" Everyone, filled with joy, dared not block the master's path any longer. They all stepped aside, and the host announced the end of the event. The audience in the stands dispersed completely.Abigail walked towards her parents and, seeing their excited expressions, smiled lightly and said, "Tell me in the car.""Uh, okay, okay..." Kevin didn't expect that his precious daughter's talent was actually being a piano master!In the past, Geovanni begged someone to write a song for him, offering a hundred thousand for a single note. However, he was mercilessly rejected by the person. After returning home, Geovanni vented his frustration, saying that the master was too arrogant!I didn't expect this arrogant person to be Geovanni's own sister. This just got interesting.A
"Mrs. Guzman!" Mrs. Norman didn't want to hear any explanations anymore. "We had it clearly stated in black and white that there should be no negative news during the contract period, or else you would have to pay ten times the penalty... As per the requirement, you must pay fifty million within ten days, otherwise we will have to meet in court!""Hey, Mrs. Norman, Mrs. Norman..." Marlene wanted to say something else, but the other person had already hung up the phone. When she tried calling again, she realized she had been blocked.Marlene slumped down, where could she find fifty million...Although Elliott was the richest person in Bushmere, with personal assets exceeding one billion, most of it was in fixed assets such as houses, shops, stocks, cars, and so on...Recently, due to the sudden refusal of cooperation from major corporations such as Abby Capital, their funds were unable to circulate. In addition, they suffered significant losses in business, and as a result, they have a
"But Abby and her team were different. They relied on producing and selling clothes as their main source of profit. The income they earned from processing clothes for others was just an additional bonus!"Even if each bill made less profit, it wouldn't affect their company's operation!But the Guzman family was different!"Let's go," Marlene hurriedly got out of bed, "After breakfast, let's go find mom for help."After Elliott finished washing up, he went downstairs and didn't see Gina. He felt a bit uneasy, thinking, "Where is Gina? Didn't she say she was going to visit her grandmother? I'll call her to wake up and have breakfast, we need to get ready to leave."What time is it now?With so many things happening at home recently, how could she still sleep?The nanny on the side immediately explained, "Gina got up at six o'clock! She has been busy in the kitchen. She didn't even have breakfast! She said she wanted to make breakfast fo
"What did you want to do?""I want to stay there all day tomorrow, until she wakes up!" Marlene said, her eyes gleaming with determination. "We should convince her to sell off some of her shares, to help in this emergency... After all, having so many shares is of no use to her!""We also have a share ourselves, if we don't sell ours, let mom sell hers... It's a bit unfair."Elliott, with a conscience, pondered for two seconds and said, "Moreover, considering that Mom has been in a coma for such a long time, it is inappropriate for you to bring up this topic right after she woke up.""Who said we haven't sold any?" Marlene retorted, "We have already sold quite a few shops and houses. If we sell more shares, the company will fall into the hands of outsiders! Do you want outsiders to take over our company? Or are you relying on Mom's health to manage the company?"Elliott fell silent."We held shares in our hands, so we could continue to manage
After Abigail and Ronan's car drove away, she took out her phone and answered the call, "Reuben.""Boss, today is the tenth day! If that idiot from the Guzman family doesn't come up with the money, Mrs. Norman is going to sue him!"Abigail remembered. It did happen.Mrs. Norman and Gina had previously signed a contract, with the intention of having Gina serve as the spokesperson for their piano brand. However, there was one requirement: no negative news could occur during the duration of the contract, otherwise they would have to pay a penalty of ten times the amount of the breach.Gina exposed the plagiarism incident, which violated the terms of the contract. Mrs. Norman demanded that they compensate fifty million within ten days, otherwise they would see each other in court.Today, it was the last day."Why don't we just stand by and let Mrs. Norman ruin his reputation?""It wasn't time yet," Abigail instructed calmly, "Proceed as p
Ryker, Jimmy, and the other servants beside couldn't believe how skilled Ms. Abigail's medical skills were.All the doctors said it was impossible, but she dared to guarantee that she would recover within a month.Isn't she human, but a goddess?"The Lucero family is so lucky to have you as Ronan's wife..." Sergio became so overwhelmed with excitement that his eyes welled up with tears.Great, my spouse is finally saved!In less than a month, she would be able to talk to him and accompany him for walks just like before!This was something he wouldn't even dare to dream about.The sudden joy overwhelmed Sergio, and he bent down in gratitude, "Let me thank you on behalf of your grandmother first...""Grandpa, you were too polite," Abigail hurriedly reached out to support him.In Abigail's perception, she merely did a trivial task that was not worth mentioning...But for the Lucero family, it was a lifesaving grace a
Before the red light, Abigail stopped the car and turned on her phone."Boss, this is a photo sent by the other party. Take a look and see if it's the real deal."Abigail opened the picture and indeed saw Licorice and Purple Lotus Root.Regardless of their appearance, color, pattern, or root structure, both of these items can be determined to be genuine."Give me the location.""Boss, are these really authentic? The other party is so amazing, they were able to find these two treasures so quickly. We searched for a full three months and couldn't find them! We were originally worried that they would deceive us with fakes..."I didn't expect it to be true!"They wanted you to wait for them at Peach Grove in the outskirts, where there was a small pavilion."Abigail replied with an OK, and just as the traffic light turned green, she stepped on the gas and arrived at the agreed-upon location.To deceive others, she parked the
A while passed.The chef prepared the delicious food, and Ronan personally brought it to her. "Can't sleep?""Hmm..." Abigail was surprised to see him carrying two large trays. "Do you usually eat in your room?""No," Ronan placed the tray on the table and said gently, "But I'm willing to make an exception for you with all my habits. Wait for me a moment, there are still some downstairs, I'll go get them."Abigail saw him leaving the bedroom and felt a warmth in her heart.Outside the window, Crescent Lake shimmered in the sunlight, endless daisies swayed in the wind. Abigail stepped onto the balcony, admiring the breathtaking scenery and feeling the cool breeze.Ronan walked over with two large trays, his tall and handsome figure exuding indulgence and doting as he looked at Abigail."Have your meal here," Abigail gestured towards the table on the balcony, "The view is nice here.""Okay," Ronan put down the things and pulled o
Ronan was even more curious about her identity when he realized that Abigail had even encrypted her phone calls.Out of respect, Ronan did not answer the call for her, nor did he hang up, but let the other person ring for a while before ending it himself.He placed his phone on the bedside table, gently covering Abigail with a blanket, and leaned down to give her a tender kiss.She looked beautiful when she was asleep, like a princess in a fairy tale, with long, curly eyelashes, a straight and elegant nose, and luscious, tempting lips.He couldn't help but bend down and give her a gentle kiss.Just at that moment, the phone vibrated again.It was a WhatsApp message sent by someone else to her.Ronan glanced unintentionally and saw several WhatsApp messages appearing on the screen."Ms. Abigail, the monthly report of Alana Designs has been sent to your email.""The recently launched jewelry collection has received an exce
In a luxurious cabin.Ronan held Abigail on his lap, gently stroking her soft hair with his chin, "How many identities do you still have that I don't know about?"Abigail averted her gaze slightly, not much though, even though she couldn't count the number of hands she had..."Was it because of your grandmother's condition that you wanted to get the Purple Ginseng?" Ronan glanced down at the girl in his arms and asked softly, "Did you know her condition was deteriorating, and she only had a few days left when you took her pulse that day?""Um.""Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ronan scrutinized her eyes. "Or was it that you had already decided to come to Secret Delta alone to find Purple Ginseng at that time? Who told you that this thing could save Grandma's life?""I also read it in a medical book a long time ago..."As for whether it could be cured or not, it would depend on the grandmother's own physical condition."Secret
"Didn't Mr. Harrell say that the previous price doesn't count and asked me to make a new offer?" Abigail casually spoke, "What's the matter, does Mr. Harrell want to go back on his word?""You..." Leonard was instantly speechless."The gang leader, has no credibility at all?"Leonard suddenly realized something, "You, you two know each other? Trying to deceive me into selling Purple Ginseng at a low price? The big R Gang and A Gang colluding with each other just to take advantage of others? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by others if this gets out?""Seems like Mr. Harrell wants to back out?" Ronan asked skeptically."Repent, then repent!"Billions of dollars, and trust, he chose the former!One of the henchmen beside Leonard leaned in and whispered, "Mr. Harrell, there are R Gang members outside, let's be polite..."Leonard naturally knew the power of R Gang, so he suppressed his anger for the time being and said in a fr
