After finishing her dinner, Zoey returned to her room and called Mila.Although she was currently staying at the Lanes, Jeremiah had been avoiding living together, using her pregnancy as an excuse."Make arrangements; no matter how much it costs, I want to create the biggest buzz tonight." Zoey understood that if Jeremiah intervened, the hype would quickly fade, and tonight was the perfect opportunity."Got it," Mila replied, immediately getting to work on buying traffic and reaching out to media contacts for support.Before long, the excitement generated from that night led to a wave of comments across major platforms accusing Yvette of plagiarism.Even Aaron, who was abroad, came across the news, which claimed that Yvette had shamelessly plagiarized Cameron's song for a competition.It was still daytime where Aaron was, and he was taken aback when he read the article. "What a joke! Why would Yvvy plagiarize?"Noticing the news, Joel asked, "Isn't that song, 'Never Give Up',
"Madam Yara, you're awake! Haven't slept yet? Why are you still looking at your phone?" the nurse asked gently.Yara looked up. "It seems Yvette is in some trouble.""What happened?" The nurse moved closer, spotting the trending news on Yara's screen. "I saw it this morning too. Is it really about Ms. Snyder?"Yara nodded. "It's hard to believe otherwise.""How could Ms. Snyder plagiarize someone else's work?" The nurse was in disbelief.Yara had reached a point in her life where things had become clearer, such as who truly cared about her and who didn't.She also understood that her days were limited. As her end neared, she wanted to right her wrongs. She wanted to leave this world with a sense of peace so she could face James in the afterlife."Maybe she just wanted fame too badly." Yara sighed. After having spent all morning reading about the allegations, she found herself beginning to believe them. After all, she had seen Cameron in action and knew just how incredibly ta
Cynthia had expected Yara to refuse the proposal. But to her surprise, Yara said, "Please give me a little more time. I'll do my best to get the money.""You used to be a public figure, Madam Cadwell. You should know how important public opinion is. If we wait longer, the public would have forgotten about Yvette's plagiarism." Cynthia then ended the call.Yara stared at her phone as she wondered how she'd get five billion dollars. That amount wouldn't have been an issue for her if this was nine years ago, when James had just passed away.After all, she had been transferring money to Lawrence even when James had still been alive back then, and each time, the amount had been at tens of billions of dollars.However, Lawrence wasn't the type to know how to run a company. He had been losing money all these years. The problem was that he had learned to transfer money out, just like what Yara had done. She wasn't sure how much he still had left.She immediately called Lawrence. "Where
Yara didn't go soft at all. "If you're short on money, go to Gemma. The Zelniks are loaded. If I don't see five billion by noon, get ready to be exposed. "Given your reputation as a famous dancer, I'm sure you'll make the top news in no time for abandoning your mother. What do you think? Also, you should know that you can't legally disown your mother."Zoey never would've expected Yara to suddenly become so cruel toward her. After all, Yara would've done anything for her in the past."Mom, how can you do this? I'm still your daughter.""I only know money is more important now. Children aren't as practical as having money," said Yara."But—""Enough. I want to see the money by noon!" After saying that, Yara ended the call and lay back down in exhaustion.Georgia had been by her side the whole time. "You've finally seen her true colors."Yara let out a deep sigh. "Yeah. I can finally see her for who she is before I die."She'd also realized how many mistakes she'd made in the p
Yara was still waiting for Zoey. However, the latter didn't give her the money even when the clock struck noon. In the end, she only received a text from Zoey. "Stop blackmailing me, Ms. Cadwell. I don't have the money."When Yara saw the message, she was so angry that her stomach began to hurt. Then, she immediately called all the media outlets over.Meanwhile, Yvette noticed that all the discussions online had been removed. She couldn't help but find it weird. She wondered who had helped her.Yvette couldn't wait anymore. She said to Cynthia, "Release the announcement, Cynthia."The latter had been waiting for that moment.Yvette had created a local social media account as Cameron before, and it had millions of followers. Because of what had happened, the number of followers had reached more than 10 million.After Cynthia went online, she did what Yvette had asked and made a post."First of all, I would like to thank all of my fans for following me. Secondly, I would like to
Back at IM Enterprise, Xavier called Mark over. "How is Yvette's matter coming along?"As Mark had expected, even though Xavier had lost part of his memories, he still cared about Yvette.Mark said, "We've removed all negative comments about the situation. Shortly after that, there was an announcement on Ms. Cameron's social media. Now, everyone knows Yvette is Ms. Cameron and that the plagiarism accusations are baseless."When Xavier heard that, he realized that he should've waited. Yvette was no longer weak, and she'd already had a plan to deal with the situation. She'd just been waiting for the discussion to gain traction."Tell our guys to publish those comments again, and I want them to be trending all over the place. Make sure half of the trending news is filled with posts by those who accused Yvette.""Yes, sir." Then, Mark got to work immediately.Soon, all major platforms had reports on the situation, and they were all trending. Zoey couldn't even get her news trending t
Zoey couldn't possibly read all of the comments, and she was still delusional about it. "This must be one of Yvette's tricks again. I've seen Ms. Cameron before, and she isn't Yvette. Release a statement now and tell everyone that Yvette isn't Ms. Cameron. It has to be fake."When Mila heard that, she lowered her head. "It's most likely true because the announcement was made through Ms. Cameron's official account. A huge celebrity who often works with Ms. Cameron has also made a statement online, saying Yvette is Ms. Cameron."After Aaron was done with his work, he posted online. "Who says Yvette has plagiarized Ms. Cameron? Why would she need to plagiarize herself?"At that moment, Zoey felt as if it was getting harder and harder to breathe."How could this be possible?" She still couldn't believe it. Regardless, it was still the truth.Mila carefully asked, "What should we do now?"The place where Zoey was working now was a dance company that Gemma had opened for her. So, the
"Mom, many people are scolding me right now, and I'm scared to go online." Zoey knew she wouldn't have to be afraid of anyone with the Zelniks backing her.Gemma patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry. They're just online comments, right? I'll call my sister later and get it settled."Gemma's younger sister, Camelia Zelnik, was a powerful woman as well, and she had a lot of connections on both sides of the law in Drieso."Alright." Zoey nodded as she wiped her tears away. Then, she asked, "What about Yvette? She has done so much to me."Seeing how weak Zoey was, Gemma was a little worried. "Zoey, you need to learn how to handle your own issues in the future. I'm getting older, and I won't be by your side forever. I can't possibly protect you all the time."When Zoey heard that, her heart fell. Gemma was basically saying that she wouldn't help Zoey deal with Yvette anymore.Considering how it was more important to deal with the comments online at that moment, Zoey played nice.
