Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 107: Plagiarism

"Thank you, Ms. Linton."

Hugh Kensington said humbly.

Susan Linton glanced at the program schedule and continued to ask, "I’m curious, did your sister personally write the lyrics and compose this song?"

A rare sense of pride and satisfaction appeared on Hugh’s calm face, "Of course."

Susan Linton was slightly surprised.

Hugh’s sister is the newly appointed and currently very popular CEO of Stardust Entertainment—Selena Kensington.

Susan Linton smiled and said, "No wonder, siblings indeed. I hope we have a chance to collaborate."

Susan Linton openly extended an olive branch.

This caused quite a stir.

"Ah, the Goddess Lin also appreciates our Hugh!!!"

"Thank you, Goddess Lin! Hugh will work even harder!"

...

Meanwhile, backstage, Miranda Kensington was at a loss for what to do.

She looked dazed.

What to do... What to do... What to do!!!

How could Hugh sing this song!!

The praise originally belonged to her! Yet it was snatched away by Hugh!

Miranda’s heart was filled with malice.

She didn’t regret it at all.

But now, she couldn’t back down; she could only demand that she surpass Hugh!

If she could outshine Hugh, it would be like directly slapping Selena in the face!

Thinking this, Miranda couldn’t help but feel elated.

Until the host’s voice brought her back.

"Next, we welcome student Miranda Kensington from Class 2 of the Music Department to sing... um, ’Surge’"

There was a moment of hesitation as the host spoke.

What’s going on?

Are both of them singing the same song?

There was a moment of confusion among the audience and viewers in the live broadcast.

Even Susan Linton frowned slightly.

"The real show is about to start." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Selena Kensington watched Miranda appear on stage.

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Miranda, I told you.

Your time would come sooner or later.

See, here it is.

As expected by Selena, the result was predictable.

The song "Surge" sung by Miranda lacked musical beauty despite her technical skills.

In her desire to outdo Hugh, Miranda’s intense competitive spirit led her to overexert herself.

She ruined the song by seventy or eighty percent.

Susan Linton couldn’t help but frown, "You really spoiled this song with your singing!"

She didn’t give Miranda any face at all.

Making Miranda feel a bit embarrassed and awkward.

What’s going on?! Shouldn’t Susan Linton be praising her!

But Susan Linton looked at the contents of the program list.

Suddenly, she was furious.

"This student, the program list states that both the lyrics and music of this song were written by you, yet why does it appear to me that this song is seventy percent similar to the one Hugh just sang?!"

In her anger, Susan Linton left many people dumbfounded.

People who are familiar with Susan Linton all know that she detests plagiarism the most.

"What’s going on... Did Miranda plagiarize the song written by Hugh’s sister?!"

"Not necessarily, isn’t Miranda her sister too? Maybe her sister gave it to her."

"Wake up, have you forgotten how their father treats the siblings? As if Selena would write songs for Miranda!"

"So, did Miranda steal Selena’s song?!"

"Was Miranda’s image as a talented girl just a fabrication???"

Miranda’s face went pale, instinctively wanting to refute, "No, no... she plagiarized my song!"

She seemed to grasp onto something, "Yes! Selena plagiarized my song!"

But Susan Linton looked at her with disdain, "The song Hugh sang has a much better completeness and relevance in lyrics, and the technicality of the composition is several times better than what you performed!"

"You say his sister plagiarized you? Who would want to plagiarize a bunch of inferior goods!"

Susan Linton mercilessly belittled Miranda.
