“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
However, Shaun could not help himself.“Why not?” He grabbed Catherine by the shoulders and pressed her against the wall, his eyes burning with flames. “I have to admit that you’re a very attractive woman. It was me who didn’t know you well enough before.”Then, his thin lips greedily kissed her red ones.However, Catherine turned her head away and dodged.His lips fell on her cheek and her body’s elegant fragrance wafted over, making him unable to pull away.“Shaun Hill, do you remember how you got your subordinate to pin me down to search me last week? Do you remember how you forced me to sign the papers? Do you still remember how cold you looked at that time?”Catherine said softly with a trace of sadness. “In fact, when you carried me out of the car that day, I wasn’t asleep. I just felt like it was a dream and didn’t dare to wake up. After you left, I thought about a lot of things and felt that maybe there was still a chance for us. But the next day, you came to me for a div
At 1:00 a.m., Cindy’s team held an emergency meeting and finally made an official announcement to the public. [Unknowingly, it has been five years since I entered the entertainment industry. That year, ‘Paradise of Dreams’ made me popular all over the country. In fact, for so many years, I’ve been silently thanking one person in my heart and that’s my good friend, Catherine Jones. ‘Paradise of Dreams’ was created by her for me. I’m really grateful to have met a friend like her in my life. She used to keep a low profile and didn’t want to show off, but now that she’s known to the public, I don’t want to hide her talent anymore. I want to give the prize that I was awarded back then to her. This is her award. Catherine, I love you.]Later, Cindy posted a few more trophies and a photo she had taken with Catherine on campus. In the photo, the two of them were smiling brightly and looking incredibly friendly. The netizens exploded.[So Catherine and Cindy were good friends. Tsk tsk, beau
[The commenter above, don’t you get it yet? Cindy probably didn’t want to say that ‘Paradise of Dreams’ was created and written by Catherine in the first place, but maybe since Catherine is back now and she has the evidence, Cindy had no choice but to reveal it beforehand.][Now that you mention it, it does sound possible][Gossip incoming. I heard that last night during Times Corporation’s Starlight Gala, Cindy played a song first and then Catherine performed. Her performance completely crushed Cindy into pieces. Catherine said that she has the original draft of the ‘Paradise of Dreams’ album and there are 18 songs in total. But she won’t write songs for anyone again. She said she didn’t know how to judge people in the past. Cindy was so scared that she had to disclose the truth first.][I’m completely disgusted by Cindy. I was even her fan for so many years. I must have been blind.][I was blind too. I’m not her fan anymore.]...In the villa.When Cindy saw the comments on th
