She had the manuscript. After all, she composed the piece without much thought.
She even tore and threw away the manuscript after that.
However, she couldn't bear discarding it, so she retrieved it after that. Since she could easily lose it if she just slipped it in between the pages of a book, she snapped a photo of it too.
After she did all of that, she threw the manuscript away again.
Never had she expected someone would accuse her of plagiarism.
Seeing Charlotte's obstinance, Hera smiled mockingly. “Since it's your wish to be proven wrong the hard way, I'll give it to you!”
With that, she dialed Michael's number. “Mr. Underwood, I'm at the venue of the competition and need urgent help from you. Remember to bring evidence that you composed Sounds of Ranging Winds.”
Michael was puzzled. “Didn't I tell you to perform it during the finals? Why did you decide to perform it so soon?”
He had pressing matters to handle, so he didn't watch Hera's performance on-site.
However, the Chapman family had paid him a handsome sum, and he never was someone virtuous.
Thus, Hera's words worked on him. “All right. I'll go there right away.”
Michael was running his errand at a location near the competition venue, so it would only take him around ten minutes to get there.
After Hera hung up, she glanced at Charlotte cockily. “I'm telling you, you're dead meat, you thief!”
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat when she met Hera's domineering gaze.
Lowering her gaze, she said nothing.
“You don't have a comeback for this, have you? I feel ashamed for you for resorting to plagiarism to rise to fame,” continued Hera viciously.
She couldn't wait to vent her frustration on Charlotte after being humiliated by Ashlyn and Olivia.
Meanwhile, Olivia was taken aback by the fact that there was a dark horse in the preliminary rounds.
Odd enough, the contestant had bandages on her face.
By the way, her name sounds familiar. I think Lochlan's foster daughter goes by the same name. No, this can't be. Hadn't she gone abroad some time ago? Why is she here? How could there be such a coincidence?
