The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 156

While doing covers and mimicking famous singers isn't illegal—plenty of influencers make a living off it—a copycat is always just a copycat. You can never build a lasting career under someone else's shadow.

Hearing Loretta's panic, Tara lets out a soft laugh, immediately correcting her. "You are the original. The ones who are going to be dragged through the mud are Jade and Dennis Media. Our job is to make sure the whole world knows the truth. They are the ones who should be terrified, not you."

It is ridiculous that the true talent is living in fear while the fraud parades around in the spotlight.

"That sounds great, but all the evidence of my ghost-singing was destroyed," Loretta sighs, her desperation deepening. "Every time I recorded for her, they kept me completely isolated. I never had a chance to save any proof." If she had a shred of evidence, she wouldn't be this terrified. She knows that even if she steps onto a stage, the Dennis machine will crush her by morning.

"Don't worry about the evidence. That's my problem, not yours," Tara says, her tone unshakable. "Your only job is to focus on singing and writing music. Real gold doesn't fear the fire. A fake can never outshine the real thing."

Tara's quiet confidence is a soothing balm. She plans to have Tricia and Bianca map out a flawless launch strategy for Loretta. Once Loretta drops her first record and the public falls in love with her raw talent, nobody will care about Jade—a washed-up star who refuses to sing live. When Jade's terrible acting, stiff dancing, and the undeniable truth of her lip-syncing hit the internet, she won't be able to recover.
