Chapter 671
So Michael was theposer. How could he possibly giarize work by a kid?”
“I bet the girl must have giarized Michael’s melody upon hearing how great it is.”
“People nowadays sure have poor character.”
The audience, dly enjoying the drama, began making variousments.
Michael finally grasped the situation.
That girl onstage giarized Sounds of Ranging Winds!
He nced at Charlotte, then asked in a patronizing tone, “Girl, you could’ve contacted me if you liked
the pieces Iposed. As long as you have an authorization letter, you can absolutely perform it in a
competition. Why must you giarize?”
His words painted Charlotte as a giarizer.
Charlotte never knew people could be that shameless.
Although she wanted to retort with a smirk, just like how Ashlyn would, she seemed tock Ashlyn’s
dominance and was more on the soft side.
Even when she countered, she countered in a whisper, “I didn’t giarize your work.”
She absolutely did not do that.
While she wished to stand up for herself confidently, her heart was thumping so hard while the voice in
her head seemed to be luring her back in. Come back. Don’t go outside…
She wanted to rid herself of the limitations, but the voice seemed to be stalking her as it constantly rang
in her ear.
Her mind was nk, and the voice only ever grew in intensity and dominance.
“She couldn’t have giarized this. If you want to make such a im, you’ll have to present evidence to
prove that youposed the piece.”
Without warning, a husky voice rang throughout the theater.
The crowd turned to look in the direction where the voice came from. At the same time, a lean man
stood up slowly from his seat. He had handsome facial features and an aura that radiated warmth and
heat like the sun on a summer beach.
Joseph Field?
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
Someone recognized the man.
All of them were quite surprised.
Joseph was the mayor’s son and was notorious for his terrifyingly tactlessness.
It was unthinkable that he woulde to a girl’s defense.
The situation seemed unbelievable no matter how one looked at it.
Ashlyn nced at Joseph. Surprise, surprise. I never knew he could be this dependable!
As part of the panel of judges, she couldn’t sit out of the situation.
Michael is cunning as hell. Even if he giarizes other people’s work, he would never admit it. Besides,
he has so many students. He would never admit to doing something that could tarnish his reputation.
Ashlyn walked up to him. “Mr. Underwood, since you use Charlotte of havingmitted giarism,
you need to present evidence to prove it.”
Having got a call from Hera, Michael came prepared.
He immediately retrieved a faded paper from his pocket.
The piece of white paper had be faded and worn. It was even giving off a moldy smell.
Judging from the looks of it, the paper was aged.
“This is the manuscript from meposing the melody quite some years ago, so it’s very old,” Michael
stated impassively.
Ashlyn showed the manuscript to the panel of judges, who passed it around among themselves.
After going through it, Ryan said, “It sure seems like an original manuscript.”
Michael looked pleased when he heard that.
“Where’s your evidence?” Ashlyn turned to Charlotte.
Charlotte was in a gown, so she didn’t have her phone. Biting her lip, she waved at Joseph, who
marched up to her and handed her her phone.
When his heated palm brushed past her cold fingertips, she felt a tingling sense of warmth that reached
her heart.
Then, she heard him say, “Don’t be afraid.”
Charlotte took a deep breath before tapping into her photo gallery on her phone. She had always been
using the same brand of phone, so she could always ess photos she took in the past as soon as
she logged in with her ID, even if she changed phones.
The Field family bought her a new phone after she left the Fraser family, so she managed to get her old
photos back.
She found the photo of her manuscript and showed it to the panel of judges.
Lah was the first to cry in shock. “Gosh! What’s going on?”
