Chapter 14
Three years later, a music show called Sing Beyoral hit the airwaves, quickly becoming a global
sensation.
The show didn’t just feature a star–studded lineup of internationally renowned singers as coaches. It also managed to land a special appearance by a superstar who had recently taken the global music scene by storm–Renee, the eldest daughter of the wealthiest family, the Callahans.
Renee’s voice was pure and clear, like the rush of water from a mountain stream, yet it carried an emotional weight, like the haunting melody of a nightingale. Every note she sang seemed to follow its own rhythm, resonating deeply in the hearts of everyone who heard it.
Her music sparked a wildfire the moment it was released, quickly building a dedicated following that couldn’t get enough of her.
Still, Renee remained an enigma. Every time she stepped into the spotlight, she wore a carefully crafted mask, hiding her face from public view. No one had ever seen her face.
The public was undoubtedly curious, but they understood why. The Callahans were the richest family, so it made sense they’d go to great lengths to shield their beloved daughter from the public’s scrutiny and guard her privacy.
The day the show was officially announced, the internet erupted. Countless people were eager to see Renee’s involvement. Her mysterious allure only fueled the growing excitement.
Meanwhile, across town, Sharon barged into the Swain residence, her heart racing with
urgency.
Her face was etched with anxiety, her eyes brimming with longing, and her voice cracked as she pleaded, “Eugene, Calvin, you have to let me join Sing Beyond! This is my only chance!”
The scandal three years ago had set Sharon’s reputation on a downward path. Eugene and Calvin had done everything in their power–leveraging their wealth and connections–to keep the bad press under wraps and salvage her image.
But the Internet had a long memory. Her past mistakes hovered over her like a shadow, making it impossible for her to step into the public eye without critics watching her every step.
Now, with the global music program in the spotlight and Renee’s prominent role as a coach, Sharon could see a faint glimmer of hope. This was her shot at redemption.
