Lily?” Loraine scoffed in disbelief.


    “For crying out loud, Alice has ten million fans abroad. Why would she need the help of Lily who only


    has a few fans? How dare you say such senseless nonsense?”


    People around them who had been following the conversation startedughing at Marina.


    Though she was blushing in embarrassment, Marina still retorted stubbornly, “You’re not Alice. How do


    you know she doesn’t need such help?”


    Loraine mocked, “Since you’re so generous, why don’t you go write songs for your friend Lily? Oh,


    sorry. I ignored a simple fact. Even if you want, you can’t write any good songs.”


    Marina was stunned. She just didn’t know what to say in response.


    Eventually, she turned to Lily andined angrily, “Lily, this bumpkin is simply messing with us.”


    Lily’s face darkened and she red at Loraine with all the venom she could muster.


    Even though Loraine mocked Marina, Lily knew for a fact that her objective was to mock her indirectly


    for herck of talent. So, Lily responded, “Loraine, why are you trying to deny and invalidate my ability


    just because of a little mistake? After all, I’ve been studying abroad for some time and I’m a well-known


    soprano.”


    Seeing that Lily was still being impenitent, Loraine shook her head in pity. “You’ll never change. I’m


    sure your career will soone to an end in this industry.”


    Lily became exasperated and she Lashed out angrily, “You’re not even in the industry. How dare you


    say that? If you can,pete with me! If you can’t, apologize to me right now!”


    Jennie arrived at the scene just in time to hear these words, and she quickly took the side of her friend.


    “I’m sure she’s ready. She’s not afraid of you.” Then she pulled


    Loraine’s hand.

    “Lorrie, teach her a lesson tonight! We need to use her as an example, so that no other ignorant people


    will attack you Like this ever again!”


    Loraine smiled slightly and nodded. “Of course, I’ll win thepetition!”


    Lily, on her part, was also full of confidence. She climbed onto the stage with her head held high, and


    without wasting time, she began to sing Ode to the Moon by the ssic opera, Water Fairy.


    The melodious sound spread throughout the whole party venue, captivating the audience and leaving


    them awestruck.


    After all, Lily was no amateur but indeed a professional.


    As she sang thest note in the song, all the guests began to apud her performance.


    “This song is as good as what I hear at the concert. Even though they’ve been saying that Lily


    giarized someone, it’s clear that she’s a good singer. Maybe she was used and tricked by her former


    agency Like she imed!”


    Hearing her friend being praised, Marina lifted her chin proudly at


    Loraine.
