Sheldon sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He leisurely asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Sheldon, I need to ask you for a favor. You have to help me.” Hazel was livid beyond words even before this incident. At first, she had gone looking for Emily to discuss their countermeasures. However, she had not expected Emily to keep quiet despite suffering such a terrible injustice. Now that she knew about it and heard about it, she could not sit idly by. I’m going to kick Janet out of this piano competition! Even if I’m not the winner of this competition, I cannot let Janet become the winner!
He could tell at a glance that it wasn’t going to be something good. Thus, he looked up and coldly asked, “What is it?”
“Help me invite somebody over.” She chewed on her lip, looking determined. “I want to invite Sweet Tune here. She has to arrive in Yobril before the finals this afternoon.” I’m going to invite Sweet Tune herself to come here and personally expose Janet, that plagiarizing freak! As long as the person involved is here, Janet will not be able to talk her way out of it. Even if she has a thousand mouths, it won’t do her any good! The honor of winning this competition belongs to others. I will not allow Janet to trample on it.
He frowned. His voice was emotionless and toneless as he asked, “What do you want to do?”
“I want Sweet Tune to expose Janet, that plagiarizing freak!”
When he heard those words, the look in his eyes wavered slightly. “Hazel, do you know what you’re doing?”
“I know.” She nodded without showing any weaknesses. “I will definitely not allow a plagiarizing freak to win this competition!” She strongly emphasized the words ‘plagiarizing freak’.
He fell silent for a while before turning around. “I can’t help you with this.” It doesn’t matter whether Janet plagiarized or not. I can’t… He shook his head, trying to remove that girl’s image from his head. Unfortunately, that night, as well as everything that occurred in the Fuller Residence, was vividly stuck in his head as if it had only happened yesterday. Even the way she rejected his invitation to eat dinner together made his heart melt!
Hazel had expected this answer. Therefore, she sneeringly said, “Fine. If you won’t help me, then I’ll go to Dad. Dad can help me instead!” Dad loves me so much. I don’t believe that he will refuse to help me search for somebody!
Upon hearing the word ‘Dad’, he felt his heart sinking. “Hazel, stop causing trouble!” Dad is still recovering from his sickness. I can’t trouble him over such trivial matters.
She said, “But, even my brother, who loves me the most, won’t help me. Who else can I ask?”
Sheldon rubbed his eyes irritably before coldly saying, “Fine. I’ll search for her. But, you better do this after you’ve gotten definite evidence.”
“Haha, you don’t need to worry about that, Sheldon.” The corners of her lips curled into a sneer. Then, she slowly walked out. I can’t believe that a plagiarizing freak managed to make my brother fall in love with her… Hmph. What is there to like about her? All she has is a pretty face!
Hazel did not tell Emily that she asked Sheldon to search for Sweet Tune. Otherwise, somebody as kind as Emily would never allow her to ask Sweet Tune to help expose Janet. If so, then allow me to be the villain instead! I can also consider it as helping Emily out. Even if I can’t win, I want the winner to be somebody who competed fair and square in this competition.
At the same time, Janet had just finished eating her lunch.
“What time does the second elimination round begin in the afternoon?” Mason held her hand and entered the car.
“At 2 PM.” Five performances will take two hours. So, the competition will end at 4 PM.
