She looked toward Seraphina.
Seraphina gave her a confirming nod.
Valerie handed the flash drive to the staff.
On the giant screen, the video began to play.
With the grainy quality of a decade-old recording, it showed a desk, an electronic keyboard, and a young girl.
She sat in front of the keys, her fingertips lightly grazing them.
The familiar melody filled the room.
The entire audience held their breath.
After finishing the piece, the girl looked up at the camera and offered a shy, youthful smile.
"I finally finished it. I revised it so many times. I hope he'll like it."
"This track doesn't have a name because I don't think the name is important. I just want to give it to the man I love most, as an exclusive melody just for him."
The video ended.
The crowd completely lost their minds.
Valerie held the microphone, her voice crystal clear. "The true creator of this song is the woman standing next to me, Seraphina Sinclair."
"Aria is simply her pen name."
"She wrote this piece ten years ago, and a year ago, she authorized me to publish the sheet music. We have all the licensing documents to prove it."
The screen switched, clearly displaying the digital licensing agreement.
Faced with absolute, undeniable evidence, the public opinion instantly flipped.
The livestream comments flew by at blinding speed.
[Holy crap! Aria is Seraphina Sinclair??]
[So The Lockwood Group accusing Valerie of plagiarism was just the thief crying thief??]
[The masterpiece Dominic kept claiming belonged to Ms. Ross had absolutely nothing to do with Cynthia??]
[Lockwood's really has no bottom line when it comes to defending Cynthia!]
[Wait a minute, Seraphina Sinclair... why does that name sound so familiar?]
Very quickly, someone dug up the answer.
[I remember now! Dominic's ex-wife is named Seraphina Sinclair!]
[They attended a family event together before, and I was there! That little girl called her Mom and called Dominic Dad!]
[So while the CEO took Cynthia to every public event all these years, his actual wife was stuck at home raising their kid??]

Dominic is an idiot, stupid, foolish and brainless, Cynthia is the worst kind out there always getting saved by stupid Dominic...
Cynthia needs to be dealt with, she has caused too much trouble already!...
Dominic is such a fool, he doesn't seem to be able to think for himself. He believes what other people say without question....
