âYou said that you wrote this score, so why donât you play it where I havenât played yet?â Sharon tilted her head and looked at the woman in front of her in amusement. I didnât expect Yvette to be so overboard and still slander me.
Seeing the disgust on Sharonâs face, Yvette only clenched her fists nervously. She stood there in a sorry state and looked up at the judges and audience.
Everyone had a very interesting expression on their faces. Some people were mocking her, while others were filled with disdain for her. However, most of them were still shocked by this matter.
âI, I forgot...â Yvette felt a little guilty about Sharonâs question. For a moment, she didnât know what to say and could only respond softly.
Quentinâs gaze landed on Sharon. The more I look at this woman, the more annoyed I am. I had wanted to take this opportunity to make her fail, but I didnât expect this to happen.
âWhat exactly is going on?â Mr. Xander asked slowly, glancing at the assistant director beside him.
The assistant director was also sweating profusely. At that time, they had filmed Sharonâs performance backstage, and she hadnât handed it to Mr. Xander. Thus, he didnât know about this.
âWe donât know either.â The assistant director thought of the money Yvette had given her and felt very uneasy. If Mr. Xander finds out about this, I probably wonât be able to continue working here.
âInvestigate this matter immediately. Host, go up and persuade everyone. This segment must be cut during the broadcast!â
Hearing Mr. Xanderâs words, the host could only walk up against the pressure. âEveryone, I hope you can forget what happened today and keep quiet. Our program team will prepare a small gift for you. I hope this matter wonât spread.â
âSo what if it doesnât get out? Shouldnât you give us justice?â Whitneyâs voice sounded from below the stage. âWe all saw that Yvette plagiarized Sharonâs song on the first stage, but the production team didnât do anything and still protected her. Donât you think so, Yumi?â
âThatâs right. There was surveillance footage backstage,â Yumi whispered.
Mr. Xander glared at the other staff members and roared, âGo and find the surveillance cameras at that time immediately. Fortunately, this is a recording. If itâs a live broadcast, weâll all be buried with them today!â
âDonât talk nonsense. I didnât plagiarize Sharonâs song-youâre accusing me on purpose,â Yvette shouted loudly. She felt that as long as her voice was loud enough, she was in the right.
âYou keep saying that itâs not you, so Iâll give you a chance to prove yourself,â Leomond suddenly said. âThe two of you will compose a song on the spot with âlightâ as the theme and then play your music. Thatâs very simple for two self-proclaimed creators, right?â
âI...â Yvetteâs palms were covered in sweat, but facing Leomond, she didnât know what to say. I might as well take a gamble. After all, I have tried to compose my own music before, so I shouldnât be any worse than Sharon.
Sharon nodded and looked around. Then, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and didnât care about Yvetteâs thoughts at all as she raised her hand to touch the piano keys.
Her slender fingers danced nimbly between the black and white, and the intoxicating sound of the piano came out.
The staff backstage were stunned, thinking that it was a judge playing, but they didnât expect it to be Sharon.
The bright and cheerful rhythm made everyone immersed in the sound of the piano. Gradually, the originally lyrical tune became mellow and clear. Although there was still a small problem with the connection to the live composition, Sharon had already displayed a rather difficult performance.
Everyone looked surprised. They didnât expect Sharon to perform without any pressure.
âI didnât expect there to be such a talented person in the entertainment industry! Is this the legendary absolute pitch?â Although Levi didnât know much about music, he could still hear the difference in performance. Sharonâs standard was definitely much better than ordinary people.
âAbsolute pitch?â Quentin repeated in a low voice, âWasnât there someone in the past who could determine audio based on sound alone?â
âThis Sharon is actually so powerful. I underestimated her in the past.â
âNo way. I donât think sheâs that good. Whatâs going on? Did the judges leave out the questions in advance?â
âI can believe it if it was someone else, but the person who asked the question was Leomond. Who doesnât know Leomondâs personality? This is definitely a last-minute idea!â
