Janet listened to those words with her arms folded in front of her chest and burst out laughing. “Did you say I am jealous of you? What should I be jealous of? Should I be jealous of your plagiarizing habit? Should I be jealous of how shameless you are? Should I be jealous of your contemptible nature?”
Every sentence and every word stabbed into the most vulnerable part of Emily’s heart. Thus, she lost her temper immediately. This b*tch has utterly ruined my good mood! She yelled angrily, “Stop talking nonsense! I simply borrowed some ideas from your drawings. Why are you still so hung up over that?! How petty can you be?!”
“What about the songs? What about the songs you played during the banquet and today’s performance? Aren’t those plagiarized too?” Janet raised her eyebrow slightly, staring down at the woman in front of her.
“I told you; those songs are my original creations! Are you deaf or something?” Emily couldn’t care less about her pride anymore. “Besides, even if I did plagiarize them, you don’t have the right to criticize me for it!” Who does she think she is?! Even if I plagiarize Sweet Tune Guru’s songs, it’s not her place to criticize me for it!
Janet’s mouth curved into a smile that seemed to carry a deeper meaning to it. “So, you finally admit to it.”
“That’s none of your business!” Emily’s pupils contracted. “If you’re so great, why don’t you bring Sweet Tune here to expose me?! Too bad; you probably don’t even know who Sweet Tune is!” Accusing me of plagiarism every time she opens that mouth of hers. What a b*tch! If she can bring Sweet Tune here, then I’ll resign to my fate!
Janet laughed, her eyes curving slightly with her smile. Then, her pupils shrank abruptly. At the same time, the chill in her eyes increased rapidly. She said, “I’ll give you the opportunity to meet her!”
After saying that, she turned and left the room.
At that moment, only Emily was left inside the huge room with an astonished expression on her face. Frozen in place due to shock, she was at a loss for what to do. What does Janet mean? Is she going to bring Sweet Tune here? Is she crazy?! Putting aside Sweet Tune’s whereabouts, which are a complete mystery… Sweet Tune is somebody that not even Hilbert can invite over casually! Does she think just anybody can make Sweet Tune appear?! Why doesn’t she look at herself in the mirror first?! What a joke!
After Janet left the room, she entered Roxy’s room. Then, she searched her bag for her phone and made a phone call.
“What’s wrong?” A deep and calm male voice sounded from the other side of the phone.
She leaned back in her chair lazily and nonchalantly said, “Can you come over to Roxy’s room?”
The man hesitated for several seconds before replying, “Okay.”
At the same time, Walter and Gordon finally arrived at the venue. They had seen the live broadcast of Emily’s performance just now. In all the time that Walter, Gordon, and Janet had worked together, the two of them were naturally aware that the song Emily performed just now was not her original creation. Most of it contained elements she had plagiarized from Sweet Tune’s song. She arranged so much that she only scored 99.8 points even though that song could have scored perfect scores.
The two of them got angrier and angrier the more they thought about it. Hence, they immediately rushed into the backstage area where most contestants were gathered. As soon as Walter and Gordon arrived, they saw Emily coming out of Janet’s room.
Three pairs of eyes looked at each other for a moment. Following that, Emily seemed rather touched. “Walter! Gordon! Why are you here?!” Are they here to watch my performance?! Why are they suddenly being so nice to me?
Walter was emotionless and expressionless as he said, “Where’s Janet?”
Upon hearing that question, Emily’s expression stiffened and her lips twitched slightly. Damn it! Why are they here for Janet?! What is wrong with them?! She became livid and shook her head in response. “I don’t know.”
Roxy heard the commotion from the common lounge. Thus, he hurriedly got up and came over to say, “She is inside my room. You can head inside.” He saw her entering his room just now.
