Chapter 203
Now, only Arabella herself could step forward can embarrass Yolanda and expose the truth!
Arabella originally wanted to kick Yolanda out of the industry without making a scene, but some people really had no shame, plagiarizing and then refusing to admit it.
Everyone followed Jasmine’s gaze and looked surprised. Was that girl Melody?
“Her? Melody? No way.”
“But President Jasmine is definitely looking that way, and aside from her, there’s no one else nearby.”
“Melody’s won countless piano awards both domestically and internationally. It can’t possibly be some random girl.”
“Maybe it’s too dark and President Jasmine got the wrong person? She just looks like a high school student!”
The audience was dim because the spotlight was on the stage, but everyone still noticed that stunningly beautiful face shining brightly in the darkness. “If President Jasmine said she herself was Melody, I might believe it. But how could that girl be Melody?”
“I don’t think it’s possible either.”
It was then that Attlee and Olga noticed Jasmine’s gaze had landed on a girl in the audience, who looked strangely like Arabella from the back. No, it wasn’t just a resemblance, Olga recognized that outfit. She had a run–in with Arabella at the restroom door earlier, and Arabella was wearing that exact outfit!
Jasmine said she was Maestro Melody? No way!
How many times in her life had she ever played the piano? Even if she knew a few chords, it didn’t mean she could compose music. How could she be Maestro Melody?!
If they were to say Serena was Maestro Melody, that would be more believable, considering she was Kenneth’s daughter and a billionaire’s heiress! But Arabella? No way in hell!!
Zachary also followed Jasmine’s gaze and found the girl’s silhouette familiar. Then hearing Olga’s words, he was in disbelief, Arabella?
He was a bit shocked. Arabella was at the award scene? How did she get in?
Jasmine said she was Melody? How could it be?
Serena followed Jasmine’s gaze to the audience. There was Arabella and no one else!
Arabella was Melody? What a joke!
How could Melody be so young? Jasmine must have made a mistake.
Yolanda was stunned too, “Arabella? So you’re the one pulling the strings!”
She finally understood and her voice, amplified by the microphone, reached everyone’s ears, “I get it! You must have pretended to be Maestro Melody and got President Jasmine to expose me. President Jasmine was too kind and fell for your lies!”
After all, no one had ever seen Maestro Melody, and it was not impossible for Arabella to pose as her!
She smirked, as if she had discovered the mastermind, “If you were impersonating someone else, I wouldn’t care. But Maestro Melody is an idol to many here. Did you ask for their permission before impersonating her? Do you think her fans are easy to bully?!”
Everyone in the audience started whispering.
“Yeah, how could she possibly be Maestro Melody? Melody is legendary.”
“I don’t think it’s her either.”
“If she really is pretending to be Maestro Melody, I won’t let her off the hook!”
“Me neither!”
‘Sounds like there’s some personal beef between these two.”
Yolanda felt humiliated and in that moment, she decided to make Arabella taste the same bitterness. “You’ve been enjoying the wealth that should have been mine for eighteen years. Our parents found me, their long–lost daughter. You couldn’t accept it, so you’ve been picking on me ever since!”
The audience was shocked by her words. Who would have thought there was such deep animosity between the two? So, it seemed like the girl in the audience had set a trap for Yolanda on the stage out of revenge?
Suddenly, everyone who had been admiring Arabella’s beauty started talking bad about her.
Yolanda continued, “Your real family is so poor, and you have to rely on different men every day to stay in Summerfield! Who brought you here today? Dare to introduce him to everyone? I’ve been trying to guide you away from this path, but you never listen. You’ve even hit me several times, and bullied my fiancé! I didn’t want to stoop to your level, but then you saw me winning this award, and you schemed to win Jasmine’s trust and smear my reputation! Jasmine’s just too kind–hearted to not believe you!”
The audience was once again taken aback. It sounded like the girl in the audience led a chaotic personal life. She was beautiful and looked like the kind who would seduce others. And based on Yolanda’s analysis, Arabella could have been smearing Yolanda out of jealousy or discontent.
Serena looked at Yolanda with a baffled expression.
Was she out of her mind? Sure, it was possible that Arabella couldn’t play the piano. But how could she say Arabella’s real family was poor?? And that Arabella hooked up with different men every day to stay in Summerfield?
Her parents casually gave her hundreds of millions for pocket money, and just her bags and clothes alone could last her several years. Besides, she was
dating Romeo, why would she need to please other men?
Was this woman insane? Who in the world could compare to Romeo? What a bunch of bullshit!
But, this was Arabella’s business, and she woouldn’t interfere.
Some people in the entertainment industry had previously asked Maestro Melody to write a song specifically for them. But Maestro Melody refused. The reason was she didn’t need the money and didn’t have the time.
“Who on earth do you think you are to smear Melody? The whole lot of us in the Piano Association combined can’t even hold a candle to Melody’s musical talent! Think she’s easy prey because she’s young? Let me tell you, the whole Piano Association has got her back! Dare to smear her again!” Jasmine said.
The whole room was thunderstruck.
Wait, so that girl was really Melody?! Seeing President Jasmine get so riled up, there was no doubt about it, that girl was Melody!!!
