Chapter 129 I Didn’t Do It for You
Hearing this, Ronald immediately barked, “Jack, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? This is a serious matter!”
Jack also felt a little annoyed and replied, “I found this song under the computer desk. I wrote the first half.”
Ronald shouted, “A scheme—this is all part of a scheme! Jack, it must be someone’s evil plan! What they are trying to do is to involve you in this dispute. Damn, this person is truly vicious.”
Jack pursed his lips. During his many years in the entertainment industry, he had been minding his own business, and he had never offended anyone. Who would actually do such a thing to him?
“Let’s go and check the surveillance footage of my office’s door—I want to see just who placed this thing there.”
However, Ronald stopped him and said, “Oh, darling! Now is not the time to find out the truth, but to give the public an explanation. I will get someone from the public relations department to control the damage and to minimize the impact of this incident.” With that, Ronald took his phone to make a call. Seeing Ronald on his phone, Jack’s heart sank. No matter who framed him, he would go to the ends of the world to find the culprit.
However, at this moment, the door of the office was pushed open, and Noel walked in.
“This song is not plagiarized.” He spoke at once. Immediately, Jack and Ronald looked at him at the same time. “Noel, what the hell is going on?”
Noel replied, “This piece was written by H.”
Both Jack and Ronald were obviously surprised, and Jack immediately uttered, “But the first half of this song was written by me.” The question was—how could H have possibly helped him improve the second half of his song?
When Noel heard Jack’s question, he couldn’t exactly connect the dots, but he could roughly guess why Elise would help Jack.
It just seemed that Jack didn’t know Elise’s true identity, so Noel didn’t want to be the one to tell him.
“Well, I’m afraid you’ll have to ask H herself for the answer to this question,” Noel said.
Ronald also added, “If that’s the case, then this matter is much easier to handle. Let H personally clarify the misunderstanding, then the accusation of plagiarism will be eliminated.”
Jack took a deep look at Noel. “I’m afraid this matter is not so simple.”
Noel smiled slightly. “It may not be that complicated after all—she probably just wanted to help you.”
Jack was still confused and didn’t understand the meaning of Noel’s words, but Noel continued, “Leave this matter to me. I will try to convince H and let her come forward to clarify this issue. However, you also need to do some damage control because H’s fans are very powerful—we should still think of a way to minimize the impact of this incident.”
Ronald nodded in understanding. “Don’t worry. I will handle this.”
Soon after that, Noel turned around and left. After Noel and Ronald had both left the office, Jack was the only person left. He looked out the window, thinking about what Noel had just said. Why did H compose a song for me? Are we related in any way? And the most important question is: How did H get the first half of my song?
It felt like he was in a labyrinth with no way out.
