Chapter 222


    The scene was in an uproar as the two songs were undeniably simr. After teachers of the music


    department analyzed them, they confirmed that they were bothposed by the same person, or rather,


    thetter was a slightly modified version of the former.


    Many people knew that Catherine imed to be the creator of this song. Now, it was so simr to the


    music of a famous musician, which was clearly giarism.


    The young man who exposed Catherine listened to the surrounding discussions and felt he had received


    reinforcements. He pointed at Catherine triumphantly, saying, “The reason she dares to giarize is


    because this song was posted by Sugar on a forum a long time ago. She ruined a great musician’s work.


    Do you think someone like her deserves to be the champion?”


    Branden stood in the audience, apanied by Triston. Seeing Branden’s cold expression, Triston


    quietly asked him, “Mr. Duncan, should I arrange for a couple of guys to drag this guy away and shut him


    up?”


    “This four-eyed fool is courting death, “Triston cursed inwardly. “How dare he insult Catherine like that?


    Branden’s going to kick his ass!”


    Branden spoke coldly, rejecting Triston’s suggestion. “No need!” From the calmness in Catherine’s eyes,


    he could tell she had everything under control. “Arrange for someone to investigate!”


    Triston instantly realized something and a wicked smile appeared on his raised lips. “Alright!”


    It seemed that there was someone behind this young man. It didn’t matter if Branden caught this young


    man. What was important was exposing the person behind him. Catherine stood on the stage calmly,


    enduring the disdainful gazes of the crowd.


    In their opinion, although Catherine sang well, iming to haveposed a song that wasn’t her own


    was despicable. Her tant attempt to elevate herself was truly contemptible!


    The media on-site swarmed like they had discovered a treasure trove. After all, all the top figures of


    Loyalty Academy were present.


    Catherine was famous as well. She was currently appearing on a popr variety show, and she had


    quite a number of fans. Moreover, she was not only the younger sister of the superstar Audrey Swann


    but also the publicly acknowledged special girl of the celebrity Terry Hanke. Any one of these


    connections was enough to create a new trending topic.


    At the same time, this incident involved the top musician, Sugar. There had been cases of people


    giarizing Sugar’s work in the past, and the result was always the giarizer being doxxed by her fans.


    Although Sugar didn’t actively promote herself on the Inte, her fans fiercely protected her reputation.


    Anyone who dared to taint Sugar’s work would meet one fate- destruction. The reporters thrust their


    microphones in front of Catherine, bombarding her with questions.


    “Catherine, what do you have to say about the usation of giarism?”


    “Do you have anything to defend yourself?”


    “You giarized the work of Sugar, but aren’t you worried about her fans finding out? Are you not


    concerned about your future in the entertainment industry or even your sister’s reputation in the


    entertainment industry?”


    The more they spoke, the more outrageous theirments became. Ronin couldn’t stand it anymore


    and shouted, “What nonsense are you all spouting? Our bossposed this song. giarism? You’re a


    bunch of idiots!”


    Feeling embarrassed by Ronin’s outburst, the reporters shifted their target to the principal standing


    nearby.


    “Sir, we now have evidence confirming that your student, Catherine Swann, giarized the work of


    Sugar. How do you n to handle this? Will you still award her the title of the championship?”


    Before the principal could respond, the crowd below began to voice their opinions loudly. “No, it’s


    absolutely uneptable to let someone like her be the champion!”

    “That’s right, absolutely not!”


    “She’s not the Champion!”


    People’s opposition made the principal extremely awkward. If it were a regr team, he could announce


    the decision, but this team included Bryan.


    Even Karl hade personally, and the principal wouldn’t allow any haphazard handling of the situation.


    Soon, the principal found himself in a dilemma.


    After hearing Ronin’s rebuttal, the young man who exposed Catherine yelled again, “Ronin, I don’t me


    you for favoring Catherine since you have a good rtionship with her. But you are still trying to defend


    her even in such an obvious situation? Are you trying to tell us that Catherine is Sugar?”


    Ronin was indeed infuriated by this foolish young man. “You goddamn idiot!” he cursed inwardly.


    Catherine pulled Ronin aside and took a step forward. Standing before the young man, she crossed her


    arms and maintained a calm expression devoid of anger.


    The moment the young man saw Catherine’s eyes, he instinctively stepped back. Those eyes were too


    sharp, and Catherine’s aura was incredibly strong. She looked so intimidating that even the thought of


    not taking a step back was impossible. After taking two steps back, the young man looked at Catherine


    in a panic.


    “What do you want? If you dare toy a finger on me in front of all these people, not only would it show


    your guilt, but it would also bring you severe consequences! Do you understand?”


    “Huh!” Catherine sneered. “Good point, idiot. But what makes you think I don’t know?”


    The young man was speechless, unable to respond fluently. “You… You’re…”


    Catherine tilted her head, looking down at the insignificant person before her. This man had a pointed


    nose, hunched back, and rounded shoulders. It was clear he wasn’t a good person.


    “So, if I am Sugar, what will you do?”


    The young man seemed intimidated by Catherine’s powerful aura, unable to speak for a moment.


    Liana, who had been watching the scene, furrowed her brows upon seeing this. She didn’t expect the


    young man to be easily frightened by Catherine’s few words. He couldn’t even say anything!


    To destroy Catherine, Liana had to step forward. She approached Catherine, her voice not loud but clear


    enough for the surrounding reporters to hear.


    “Catherine, why don’t you just admit it? If you keep behaving like this, it might get Audrey in trouble. You


    have such a good rtionship with her, don’t you? She’s worked so hard in the entertainment industry.


    You can’t ruin her career.”


    Hearing this, Catherine turned her head to look at Liana. Not daring to meet Catherine’s gaze, Liana


    lowered her head.


    The reporters around them had heard what Liana said. They now knew that she was indeed Catherine’s


    younger sister.


    They quickly handed the microphone to Liana. “You’re Catherine’s sister, right? Catherine giarized


    Sugar’s work and passed it off as her own. Now that you know about this, what are you going to do? Can


    you provide evidence of Catherine’s giarism?”
