The more time passed, the more anxious Megan was. She was deathly afraid of some kind of blunder going on. “No, I have to go over and see what’s going on!”
Megan got up and wanted to go over. But she was quickly stopped by Rebecca. “Aunt, you’d better not go. After all, we shouldn’t get involved in their affairs. Don’t bring harm to Emily!”
At that, Megan sighed and nodded. The wait is really too torturous. She prayed that nothing would go wrong, otherwise, she could not bear it. Last time it was that painting; this time, things must not go wrong!
Over at the center of the banquet hall, Emily was in shock, wondering what this man called Roxy wanted to do. Is he here to ruin me?
Looking at all the guest musicians below the stage, she panicked a little inside. So, she pointed the finger at Roxy and asked, “Mr. Roxy, may I ask how you knew that this piece was missing a note?”
It was not surprising that Hilbert knew, after all, he had 30 or 40 years of musical experience. So, it was natural for him to spot it at once. But Roxy was only twenty years old now and had only been studying music for a few years, so how could he have such a high level of attainment of musicality?
“Oh, it’s nothing! It’s just that I’ve heard this piece before,” Roxy said casually, his shrewd eyes sweeping over the young woman at the corner who was scrolling on her phone with her head down.
At that, Emily’s breath stuttered. She clenched her fists and chuckled lightly, feeling a little guilty. “This piece is my original composition, so how could you have heard this before? Maybe we have a musical connection?”
Her saying that they had a ‘musical connection’ tickled Roxy pink. He furrowed his eyebrows and chortled lightly. “Maybe.”
When Emily heard that, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought she was going to be exposed about the matter in public. Picking up the microphone, she smiled and said, “In the future, will you please think twice before you make a statement, Roxy? Otherwise, it will cause me a lot of distress.”
“Naturally.” With a smile, Roxy turned to Hilbert and said, “I will be taking my leave.”
When Janet heard the sound of footsteps coming nearer, she lifted her hat and snorted at Roxy.
“I’m so pissed off about that woman!” Roxy said indignantly.
Janet stared at Emily’s smug face and slowly spoke. “I didn’t expect her to be smart enough to mix in music from years ago.”
Her original composition ‘Joy and Sorrow’ was released two years ago, and it was even used during her tours. Later, various record companies kept hounding her for partnerships, which caused her to become annoyed and destroyed all those videos and music recordings. No negatives were left either, and even the music scores were left behind during the times she moved from place to place. She had no idea if Emily had painstakingly searched for her video or found her music score. But no matter what, it seemed that Emily really appreciated her musical talent to have done this.
“Master, you’re just going to let her go like that? Did you see how arrogant she is now? If she genuinely becomes the successor of Yobril’s Royal Academy of Music, she’ll become too big for her boots!”
She’s unquestionably an audacious one to actually dare to steal other people’s musicality and creativity.
But Janet was unconcerned. She scratched her hair as iciness flashed in her eyes. “I can’t find the video of the tour now!”
If she had to find it, she probably could obtain it through special means, but then, wouldn’t she expose her identity as the Sweet Tune Guru? What was more, even the music score itself was missing. Considering how bold Emily was, she really would dare to claim it as hers. Thinking about it, Janet felt that this was all too troublesome.
“So what even if she really becomes the successor of Yobril’s Royal Academy of Music?” Janet sneered, disdain apparent in her eyes. “It’s nothing much!”
Yobril was full of foreigners, and most of them were racist; if Emily went over there, she probably wouldn’t be able to live happily. Why would Janet care to covet this kind of thing then?
“Let’s go!” Janet pressed her hat downward, got up, and ambled toward the door.
Hearing Janet say so, Roxy nodded and followed after her.
