Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Did you guys hear that ? She said shes your idol groups composition teacher ! Shouldnt you properly worship her ?
Dont forget to show your utmost respect , someone immediately started mocking the girls .
The girls were also a little embarrassed .
One of them looked at Noelle and asked in a low voice , Noelle , are you feeling unwell ? Do you want us to send you to the hospital ? Noelle looked at the girl , blinked her round eyes , and said calmly , Im fine .
Then , then why did you say that ? It was fine if Noelle bragged once .
But now , she was still bragging in front of so many classmates .
Even if they wanted to find an excuse for her as friends , they could not .
Say what ? Noelle was puzzled .
Seeing that Noelle still didnt notice anything , the girl was a little speechless .
She reminded her .
You said youre the composer for The Legend ! JOh ! Noelle said confidently , But I really am ! You ... Hearing this , the girl was at a loss for words .
After spending these past few days together , they realized that Noelle was quite innocent and simple .
But there was just one problem .
She loved to brag .
Previously , she had claimed to be the composer of The Shadows , the signature song of the pop queen Reyna Goodwin .
And now , she was saying she was the composer for The Legend .
Even if she wanted to brag , she should at least be more realistic .
They didnt understand why Noelle kept telling these obvious lies that would be exposed right away .
The troublemaking students burst into laughter when they saw that even Noelles friends were at a loss for words .
Someone mocked her sarcastically , Noelle , are you sure theres nothing wrong with your head ? When the new song is released , the composers name will definitely be made public .
Have you thought about how youre going to cover up this lie ? Noelle glanced at the person and shot back , Youre the one with something wrong in the head ! I didnt lie , so why would I need to cover anything up ? Okay ... okay ! The other person rolled her eyes .
Arguing with Noelle felt like it was lowering their IQ .
Just keep living in your little fantasy world .
With that , she turned away .
-The girl walked over to Leia and deliberately said , Leia , Ive realized that some people are practically going crazy with jealousy over you .
Seeing that the pop queen took you in as her last disciple , they start belittling her while hyping themselves up as some genius composer .
Its honestly hilarious ! Leia did not expect Noelle to be so stupid . She pressed her lips together and flashed a superior smile before winking at the girl .
Alright , alright .
Noelle and I are close sisters .
If you badmouth her in front of me , I might get angry .
The girl giggled , quickly flattering her .
Leia , you two really are so close ! Im sorry , I said the wrong thing .
Its fine , Leia said lightly .
She smiled gently , her dimples showing , looking tolerant and generous .
Then , she turned to Noelle and said with a smile , And you , Noelle , you shouldnt say things that are so easily exposed as lies .
Its embarrassing for the Anderson family .
Hearing this , Noelle looked at Leia .
She felt that Leia was getting better and better at her little passive aggressive act .
Noelle blinked back at her playfully .
She imitated Leias tone and said in a serious tone , Leia , youre so lame ! You didnt even verify it , so how can you be so sure Im not the one who 1/3 LBSYAM Chapter 101 composed it ? Thats so uncool of you ! Her imitation was so obvious and overly stiff that many people couldnt hold back their laughter .
Noelle , what kind of tone is that ? The classmates around Noelle burst into laughter , amused by her performance .
Noella looked at them and said frankly , I dont know either ! I was just copying Leias tone .
As soon as she said that , the laughter grew even louder .
& Leias face turned pale , then flushed red as she saw everyone laugh .
She gripped her pen so tightly , and her heart was filled with hatred .
Damn bitch ! How dare she mock me ? Just wait and see .
Your days of bad luck are coming ! Meanwhile , Reynas work wasnt going smoothly .
For some reason , Phoenix Entertainment , where Charlie worked , kept delaying their collaboration and always coming up with excuses to avoid signing the contract .
They kept reviewing the contract terms over and over again , always saying they needed more discussions .
It left Reyna feeling extremely frustrated .
She had already taken Charlies sister under her wing .
She wondered if they really thought that just because she publicly announced Leia as her final disciple , they could sit back and relax .
If she wanted to , she could bury Leias career at any time .
Besides that , recent discussions about the originality of her breakout hit The Shadows , had started resurfacing .
Although the voices werent too loud yet and could be drowned out with hired publicity , the persistent criticism was becoming an annoyance .
She was already considering whether to strike down a few prominent figures as a warning to others .
That day , after finishing a long day of work , Reyna returned home .
As she opened the door , she noticed that the lights were already on .
A man , dressed in a sleek suit with a refined and elegant demeanor , sat on her sofa .
The moment she saw who it was , Reynas eyes lit up instantly .
She immediately walked over with a smile , wrapping her arms around the mans neck .
Marshall , what brings you here ? The man was none other than Nicolass older half brother , Marshall Sawyer .
Marshall slid an arm around Reynas slender waist , his hand wandering restlessly as he raised an eyebrow at her .
I missed you , so I came .
Reyna smiled .
Both of them were adults and had a tacit understanding .
After making love on the bed , Reyna wrapped her arms around Marshalls neck and spoke in a sweet , coquettish voice .
Marshall , when are you finally going to marry me ? You once said you were tired of that old wife at home and wanted a divorce .
But now , theres no sign of it happening .
Marshall half closed his eyes , his hand sliding lazily over Reynas graceful body as he spoke leisurely , Dont worry , its only a matter of time .
Not worry ? Hearing this , Reyna pulled away from him , propping herself up as she complained , Im already 30 ! If I dont get married soon , Ill be considered a high risk pregnancy when I have kids .
Marshall opened his eyes and looked at her .
Have kids ? Youre still at the peak of your career .
Are you planning to give that up ? Reyna suddenly felt a little upset .
She lay back down , snuggling against Marshall as she softened her voice and coquettishly said , But Im still a woman .
Ive had enough of being a strong , independent career woman .
I want to settle down and be a good wife and mother .
Once you marry me , Ill happily stay home as your wife .
The moment she said this , Marshalls expression stiffened . Reyna , what kind of nonsense is that ? Youre the star of Lighting Media .
If you step back , what will happen to the company ? Reyna pouted slightly .
Then what ? Just train new talent .
Marshall shook his head .
Do you really think any newcomer can create a masterpiece like The Shadows ? Reyna , for my sake , just hold on a little longer , okay ? Reyna gazed at the mans affectionate expression .
Though reluctant , she could only nod .
2/3 3.51 AM Chapter 101 In truth , her desire to step away wasnt just about becoming a wealthy wife .
It was just that she had become more powerless over the years .
The Shadows was a song she bought from someone else , and after it became a massive hit , all sorts of press releases boasted about her talent .
However , she was never able to produce another classic like The Shadows , and negative critiques about her kept piling up .
She thought that rather than letting her reputation be ruined in the end , it would be better to retire at the peak of her career .
That way , she could at least preserve her reputation .
Unfortunately , while she wanted to retire , Marshall only wanted her to remain the companys biggest money maker .
This left Reyna feeling incredibly frustrated .
Oh , by the way , Radiance Media has been making aggressive moves lately .
Their new group is about to release ten new songs , and their style is quite similar to yours .
Keep an eye on them , Marshall reminded Reyna .
Reyna said nonchalantly .
Isnt it just some third rate idol group ? Do they really think releasing a bunch of new songs will make them popular ? How naive .
Exactly .
Marshall chuckled , pulling Reyna into his arms , and kissed her .
Reyna , youre a genius who created The Shadows .
A group like that could never be a threat to you .
Hearing Marshall praise her for The Shadows again , Reyna felt no joy at all .
She really wanted to ask him if he chose to be with her because he admired her talent or loved her as a person .
She also wondered how he would react if he knew that The Shadows was not written by her .
