Chapter 75 The Plagiarized Song
Cecilia was calm. “You really think so highly of yourself, don’t you? Have you ever taken a single step on your own in your journey so far? Would you have even survived if it wasn’t for the Smith family? Would you have become an A–list celebrity if it wasn’t for Nathaniel?”
Leaning close to Stella’s ear, Cecilia lowered her voice as she taunted, “Don’t think I’m unaware of the schemes you were involved in overseas after graduation. Do you think Nathaniel and his family will still accept you if they found out?”
Long before returning, Cecilia had already made ample preparations.
In order to successfully acquire what she wanted, she even went out of her way to investigate Stella.
Upon investigation, she discovered that Stella, known for her innocent goddess persona, had quite an eventful few years abroad.
Stella’s eyes widened in shock.
She thought she had hidden her past well, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
“You really didn’t lose your memory, did you? Believe it or not, I’ll tell Nathaniel.”
Cecilia was not at all intimidated. “Oh, really? Then do you believe that Nathaniel will see those. videos tomorrow?” she challenged.
Stella choked up again.
She truly didn’t expect Cecilia to become so sharp–tongued after her return.
“Cecilia, what do I have to do for you to let me and Nathaniel be happy together?” Stella began to play the pity card. “Apart from Nathaniel, I haven’t done anything else to wrong you, have I? I beg you to let Nathaniel off. You will be doing yourself a favor too,” Stella pleaded, tears welling in her eyes.
“Did you spare me back then?”
Not wanting to lay eyes on that pretentious woman, Cecilia turned around and walked away.
After Cecilia had departed, the tears in Stella’s eyes completely vanished. There was only fear left in her heart.
She was afraid that Cecilia would reveal her experiences abroad to Nathaniel.
If Nathaniel found out, she would be done for.
No way! Absolutely not! Cecilia, you are the one who forced me!
“Ceci, did you sell your song to Stella?”
Cecilia couldn’t help but feel puzzled. “Central Media, where Stella used to belong to, has approached me before. They wanted to buy the rights to my music, but I turned them down.”
Upon hearing this, Vivian became furious instantly. “Ceci, have you seen the news about Stella’s new song release? That song, “Ray of Light in the Dark, has plagiarized your music!”
Upon hearing Vivian’s words, Cecilia opened her computer and looked up the new song released. by Stella
The day before, she felt a sense of familiarity, but she hadn’t paid much attention to it.
However, when she listened to it again, she remembered a tune that she had casually composed a few years back.
“I remember you had a song called ‘Ray of Light‘, Ceci. She hardly changed the name!” Vivian. scoffed.
Since Vivian had taken a particular liking to the melody, she remembered it very well.
“I remember that I didn’t bother about it anymore after posting it on a niche platform,” Cecilia said.
“When Stella couldn’t buy your song, she resorted to stealing it. What a crafty tactic!”
As Vivian spoke, she simultaneously searched for information on her computer.
“Ceci, do you know that some of the songs Stella sang were bought and some of them were stolen?”
Cecilia was also quite furious. “Yes, I know. I just didn’t expect that she would actually plagiarize my work.”
In truth, it was not a coincidence. Stella had always desired Cecille’s songs, so she specifically had someone search for her older compositions to be reworked.
“It’s ridiculous how she’s risen to fame because of this song.” Vivian wished she could confront Stella face to face to see just how thick–skinned she really was. “I’ll have my lawyer send her a letter right now!”
“Hold on.” Cecilia stopped her. “We can’t just sue her like that.”
