Chapter 149
âYvie, please donât start a scene on stage. Just make a public apology.â
Yvette remained unfazed by Yasminâs arrogant behavior. Fixing a wintry gaze on Yasmin, she uttered, âGet lost.â
â
â¦â Tears brimming in Yasminâs eyes. She looked like she had been bullied. Her expression earned her public sympathy.
âShe has no right to kick Yasmin off the . She and President Thompson should be the ones who get kicked out!â
went too far. We
e need to get those two kicked out.â
Yvette promptly ignored the useless chatter below the stage. She slowly sat by the piano, and her slender fingers danced on the keys.
She had been playing plano absentmindedly. This time, she put on a serious face. The light that illuminated her face elevated her ethereal beauty.
One second , the audience had been criticizing her, but now, they gaped at her in astonishment.
The melody that flowed from her fingers sounded heavenly. With her technique, she breezily topped Yasminâs performance.
Her unparalleled piano playing was proof of identity as Maestro Rachmaninoff.
âI canât believe sheâs really Maestro Rachmaninoff!
The audience hung their heads in shame when they recalled the remarks they had just made about Yvette.
At the same time, Yara and Irwin seemed taken aback. They couldnât wrap their heads around the fact that their precious daughter was the renowned pianist, Mischa Rachmaninoff.
That explained why Yvette turned down their offer to hire a piano teacher for her. No one else was qualified to teach her how to play!
Meanwhile, Ashton immersed himself in her lovely performance. His heart was filled with shock and swelled with pride.
Was Yvie Mischa Rachmaninoff? He couldnât help but admire his talented sister.
The audience marveled at Yvetteâs presence relished in her music. Only Yasmin sat there with a pale face. She refused to believe that Yvette, the country bumpkin, was Mischa Rachmaninoff!
The audience burst into thunderous applause at the end of Yvetteâs performance. People began to look at Yvette with respect, which further upset Yasmin.
âThe music industry doesnât need a member with ethicsâa plagiarist. Yasmin Murray, you are officially blacklisted!
âYouâre only barred from joining the Pianists Association, but you will never be able to perform as a pianist!â Gabriel announced loudly, staring disdainfully at Yasmin.
Yvetteâs distaste for the problematic Yasmin was totally understandable. A person who plagiarized deserved to be blacklisted canceled for good!
Yasminâs face scrunched up when she heard the decision. She knew full well that she shouldnât admit to plagiarism or her career would be done for.
She snapped, âSo what if Yvette Murray is Mischa Rachmaninoff? How can she prove she came up with the song before I did? Speaking of which, I now suspect her of plagiarizing my creation instead!â
Gabriel sniggered in disbelief. Yasmin mustâve been the most shameless person he had come across in his life. Moreover, she had no remorse; she tried to accuse Yvette of plagiarism!
âHow dare you accuse Mischa of plagiarizing your song when your skills are wanting?â Gabriel hurled a caustic insult at Yasmin, who looked
more miffed
Despite that, she stubbornly argued, âPresident Thompson, say whatever you want, but Iâll only accept your accusation if you have evidence of Mischa Rachmaninoff composing this song before I did. If not, I wonât accept the heavy accusation of plagiarism!
Believing, that Yvette had no concrete evidence, Yasmin thought she could remain unscathed if she refused to admit to plagiarism.
