Chapter 152:

Hearing this from Madisyn made Andrew visibly pleased. “I’m looking forward to it,” he laughed, his deep, smooth voice adding to his charm.

As Madisyn gazed into Andrew’s twinkling eyes, which shone like stars in the night sky, she found herself suddenly breathless. Damn! Andrew had laid a honey trap for her!

Today’s plan to visit her company did not go as expected. When Madisyn got back to her hotel, she saw a message from Jared.

“Boss, I’ve been waiting for you for so long, but you never showed up. Should I come over to see you?”

Madisyn replied, “No, it’s too late. I’m headed to bed. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to come now.”

Jared asked, “So, when can we meet?”

Madisyn went to shower and missed Jared’s further messages.

The next day was the intense final of the singing competition.

While Madisyn was backstage chatting with Evie, Giana and Jenna walked in. Giana gave Madisyn a cold stare.

Madisyn was at a loss for words. She had refused to write a song for Giana, and now Giana was upset? It was perplexing.

The singers went onto the stage in sequence, with Evie following Giana.

When it was Giana’s turn, the applause was thunderous. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the performance of this rising star.

The music carried a hint of melancholy. As Giana began to sing, her voice captivated the entire audience.

“Do you want to be with her? Don’t keep me in the dark. Tell me…”

All eyes sparkled with anticipation. The judges were visibly thrilled.

That was it!

This performance showcased Giana’s true talent! In her first competition, Giana had captivated everyone with a similar song. Now, Giana had recaptured that peak form!

When the music ended, the audience’s hands were nearly sore from clapping.

“That was amazing, Giana. That’s your true potential.”

“Wow, Giana is truly outstanding. I always said if she took her time with her songwriting, it would turn out great!”

“Giana should definitely win the championship this time.”

The judges were equally impressed.

“Giana, I was concerned about your final performance, but now I’m completely reassured. Your skills may be unstable, but today you were excellent. I’m giving you a full score.”

“Giana, this reminds me of your first song. You have such remarkable skills. If you harness them fully, you can truly dominate. I’m giving you 9 points.”

The judges lavished praise on Giana. The contestants who hadn’t performed appeared visibly upset.

Giana’s performance was formidable, completely stealing the spotlight. If this song were to be released, it would surely top the charts!

Evie’s expression turned somber. Annoyed, she turned to Madisyn, momentarily lost for words.

It was because Giana’s song was identical to theirs.

“Don’t worry,” Madisyn reassured her. “Just go up there and sing.”

“The same song? Won’t people suspect something?” Evie was distraught. “I never imagined Giana would plagiarize our song!”

“She’s a good singer, but there are some flaws. You can definitely outperform her,” Madisyn said. Bolstered by Madisyn’s words, Evie nodded.

Evie then proceeded to the stage.

The audience, having just been delighted by the previous performance, didn’t expect much from Evie. Giana had set a high bar. It seemed unlikely that Evie could surpass her.

But as the familiar background music started, everyone was puzzled and intrigued.

As Evie began her performance, the confusion among the audience deepened.

“What’s happening? Why are their songs the same?”

“I don’t understand. What’s going on here?”

“Is this plagiarism?”

Everyone realized that there was a case of plagiarism in this competition.

They continued listening to the song. Even though Giana and Evie performed the same song, their styles were markedly different. Giana performed with a tone of sadness. Evie’s rendition conveyed both sorrow and relief, embodying a sense of rebirth.

Evie’s interpretation was undeniably more touching.

In the backstage, Giana didn’t expect that Evie would still dare to step onto the stage after her performance. Her eyes conveyed a sharp chill.

Evie must have been frightened.

However, Madisyn understood Giana thoroughly. She recognized that Giana, although diligent, relied on good songs to excel in her singing. Evie, on the other hand, was naturally gifted. Madisyn was confident that Evie would outperform Giana on stage.

Madisyn…

How could she be so harsh? Did Madisyn really have to ruin her like this?

Giana gripped her hands tightly. She had felt a bit guilty toward Madisyn, but now that guilt was turning into resentment.

As Jenna had pointed out, Madisyn never truly considered her a friend. With that realization, Giana saw no reason to hold back.

After Evie completed her performance, the audience remained deeply moved, as if they had just experienced a sad story.

“Why do I feel like Evie’s performance is better?”

“Yes, definitely. I enjoyed Giana’s performance, but during Evie’s performance, it felt like I was part of something more profound.”

“I think the way Evie sang it, that must be the original version of the song!”

The crowd was buzzing with opinions. Some of Giana’s fans still rooted for her.

The judges faced a tough decision, but they approached it with gravity.

“Evie, you performed the same song as Giana. Can you explain this?”

“Because Giana plagiarized my song,” Evie said plainly.
