Shaun frowned. “What does it have to do with my last name?”“Because you keep meddling in other people’s matters,” Catherine replied sarcastically.Shaun scoffed. “You’re my ex-wife. Liam is my brother. What would people say if you guys got together? You both are shameless, but I’m not.”“Do you even treat Liam as your brother? You hit him as you wish in the company and made him a laughing stock in Canberra,” Catherine scolded him, “I’ve never seen someone so bossy and selfish like you.”“So you’re feeling bad for Liam now?” Shaun squinted his eyes. Coldness exuded from his gaze.“He saved my life. Isn’t it normal for me to be on his side?” Catherine smiled as she said, “We’re both single anyway. It’s not impossible for us to try dating each other. Liam is handsome too.”“Don’t you dare.” Shaun’s furious gaze looked as if he wanted to gobble her up. “The Hill family will not tolerate this.”“It doesn’t matter even if you don’t tolerate it, since Liam is neglected in Hill Corpora
Liam flashed his phone at Shaun with a smile. “She can’t have supper with me because she’s going on a date with Young Master Stringer tonight, so she transferred 40 million dollars to me.”“...”At that moment, Shaun experienced what it was like to be enraged, infuriated, and exasperated.F*ck, she earned that money from him and shared it with Liam immediately.Did she take him for a squanderer?Wait, was she going on a date with Young Master Stringer later?Shaun could not stay calm anymore....After Cindy finished her song, she stood up slowly. She walked out from behind the piano and bowed.There was a round of thunderous applause in the banquet hall.At that moment, Cindy was very pleased.She knew that in the eyes of these people in high society, she was just a celebrity who was unpresentable. However, she had to let everyone know that she did have talent on this day.Just then, she saw Catherine slowly walking toward her.Only the two of them were standing in the ar
In the face of the crowd’s chatter, Catherine smiled faintly and pressed on a key, making the banquet hall quiet down.She adjusted the microphone and said in a pleasant voice, “This is a new song I composed. Today will be the first time I’m playing and singing it, so I hope everyone will give it a listen.”“Is she insane? She even composed her own song.”“Maybe she’s jealous of Cindy and wants to overshine her, but Cindy is a singer.”“These days, every young lady from wealthy families wants to make their own songs. It’s an insult to music.”Just as everyone whispered in one another’s ears, a burst of cheerful music accompanied by the sound of piano keys slowly sounded.“I say to you, ‘stop right there’,“The plane flies over the blue sky,“I’m going on a journey,“I’m going on a journey far away.“Tears fell on my chest,“This relationship, it won’t end,“We’re chasing our dreams of the future together,“This is not the end, it’s a new beginning.”...The crowd gradual
“Miss Jones, you can’t have plagiarized it, right?” Charlie mocked with intent.As soon as the statement was made, everyone’s eyes fell on Catherine.Cindy showed a tolerant and generous expression, saying, “Actually, it’s not true. If you listen carefully, the song that Catherine composed has a lighter rhythm than my song, ‘Paradise of Dreams’. It has a different style too.”Catherine glanced at Cindy. Everyone could hear the hidden meaning in Cindy’s words. It was an indirect admission that Catherine had copied Cindy, but only the style of the song was somewhat different. With the words she said, she portrayed herself as being very generous.Sure enough, the next moment, Joanne said, “Miss Turner, you can be generous, but you shouldn’t promote plagiarism. If you change and rearrange a handful of foreign songs and say that you created the song yourself, wouldn’t it be too unfair to the original creators?”Melanie also showed an embarrassed look. “Catherine, although we’re all mem
Cindy was inexplicably perturbed by Catherine’s expression. “You play very well. Keep up the good work.”Catherine let out a snort of laughter and narrowed her eyes with a smile. “Even now, you don’t want to explain why the first song was similar to your song, ‘Paradise of Dreams’? It’s because all the songs in the album ‘Paradise of Dreams’, whether the lyrics or compositions, were all written by me.”With that declaration, the audience was in an uproar.The crowd subconsciously cast their eyes to Chester. Everyone knew that Cindy was Chester’s girlfriend. He had been protecting her in the circle all these years, spoiling her in the palm of his hands.For Catherine to call Cindy out now, that was the same as slapping Chester’s face.Chester lit a cigarette and frowned deeply.Cindy was confused. “What are you saying?”Rodney scolded immediately, “Catherine Jones, I think you’ve really gone insane! Those songs were written by Cindy, not you! How shameless can you be?”“Yeah, do
“Isn’t that an exaggeration?”“You don’t understand music. Catherine plays songs that get better the more you listen to them, and her voice is very good. Her piano skills are definitely above Grade 10 and can even be compared to professional pianists. Cindy is nowhere near that level.”“I really didn’t expect Cindy to be such a person.”“It’s normal. Many people in the music circle forget about friendships when they become famous. A few years ago, I heard Catherine was just a nobody in Melbourne and the Yule family hadn’t acknowledged her.”“No wonder.”“...”The gazes the crowd cast toward Cindy were increasingly filled with contempt and disdain.Cindy’s face turned pale as she was the person in the middle of it all. Ever since she got together with Chester, no one had dared to underestimate her or despise her.She walked to Chester as though he was her savior. “Chester, I—”“Were those songs really written by Catherine?”Chester stared at her sharply as though he wanted to
Chester took a seat on the sofa opposite Catherine. There was clearly a bright smile on his face, but his aura gave off a powerful oppressive force. “Give me the original songbook.”“It looks like Cindy came clean to you.” Catherine smiled calmly. “What’s so good about such a hypocritical woman?”“She does have many shortcomings, but she’s still my woman,” Chester said, “Catherine Jones, don’t go against me. Your Yule family can’t afford the consequences of angering the third young master of the country. Haven’t you had your fill of slapping other people’s faces tonight?”The corners of Catherine’s mouth curled upward in mockery. “Chester Jewell, as the third young master of the country, your eyesight is pretty bad. You should change your glasses.”Chester’s eyes flashed coldly. “My patience has its limits.”“The matter between Cindy and me can be considered an old grudge. I didn’t want to bring up the past, but… it’s your fault for being so savage, Young Master Jewell.” Catherine
When Shaun thought of Catherine and Young Master Stringer possibly doing the same thing that had happened between them some days ago in the car...His heart instantly started aching.He could not bear it and took out his phone to make a call.Less than ten minutes later, a policeman drove over and knocked on Young Master Stringer’s car window.“Is something the matter?” Isaac lowered the window.The officer looked at the young man and woman in the car, saying awkwardly, “Someone reported that you’re making improper transactions in the car.”What kind of improper transactions could a lone man and a woman carry out in a car?Isaac and Catherine’s expressions instantly became foul.Catherine crossed her arms. “Do we look disheveled to you?”“My apologies.” The officer cursed the person who reported them. That person must be insane.Just as the officer left and Isaac prepared to continue chatting, a water truck suddenly drove past. Since the window was left open, Isaac, who was s
