Chapter 82: Chapter 82

"Sister, please don’t cause trouble on stage. You should apologize to everyone quickly..."

Listening to Cassia Everett’s insincere words, Serena’s expression remained indifferent, just looking at her with her slightly upturned, captivating eyes, seemingly mocking.

"Sister..." Cassia’s eyes instantly turned red, looking as if she had been bullied, making everyone present feel even more pity for her.

"Why should she kick Cassia Everett off the stage? The ones who should leave are her and Chairman Tate!"

"Exactly, exactly, they are way out of line and need to be kicked out immediately..."

As for the voices from the audience, Serena paid no attention, treating them as if they were just barking dogs.

She calmly approached the piano, her delicate fingers began to play.

Previously, she played carelessly, but now she was serious. The light fell on her profile, making her look even more stunning, almost otherworldly. The most update n0vels are published on novel※fire.net

The audience, who was cursing just a moment ago, couldn’t help but be captivated.

The next moment, the melodious and beautiful piano music began, like hearing celestial music, instantly overshadowing Cassia Everett’s previous performance.

This unparalleled piano skill was enough to prove that she was truly Maestro Melody!

"Oh my God, she really is Maestro Melody!!!"

Remembering what they had said earlier, everyone couldn’t help but lower their heads in shame.

In the audience, Jocelyn Sterling and Ivan Everett were also shocked. How could their precious daughter be the famous pianist—Maestro Melody?!

No wonder when they suggested hiring a teacher to teach her piano, Serena refused!

Who in this world is even qualified to teach her!

Ian Everett was entranced by the wonderful and melodious music, feeling both shocked and proud!

Serena was actually Melody?!

No wonder she’s his sister, she’s just outstanding!

The whole audience looked at Serena on stage with admiration, absorbed in her music, except for Cassia Everett whose face was pale.

How could Serena, that country bumpkin, be the famous Maestro Melody?!

When the piece ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Their eyes were full of respect when looking at Serena, making Cassia Everett’s face change even more unpleasantly.

"We don’t want immoral people who plagiarize others’ work in our music circle. Cassia Everett, I now officially inform you that you’ve been banned. Not only are you forbidden to enter the Pianist Guild, but you are also prohibited from playing the piano ever again!"

Graham Tate looked at her coldly, filled with disdain.

No wonder Serena didn’t like her, a person with such poor character who plagiarizes others’ work deserves to be banned forever!

Hearing this, Niall Everett’s face turned even more unpleasant. She couldn’t admit to plagiarism, otherwise, she’d truly be ruined!

"So what if Serena is Maestro Melody? What evidence does she have to prove that she composed this piece before me? If you’re going to say that, I suspect it’s her who plagiarized my piece!"

Graham Tate laughed in anger, it was the first time he had seen someone so shameless, still refusing to repent, and even trying to falsely accuse the Pianist Guild’s little protégée of plagiarism!!!

"Where do you get the gall to say Melody plagiarized your piece? Even a dog would shun your garbage level!"

Hearing these extremely insulting words, Cassia Everett’s face became even more unpleasant, but she stubbornly retorted, "Chairman Tate, I don’t care what you say, unless you can provide evidence that Melody composed this piece before me, I won’t admit to being a plagiarist!"

As long as she refused to admit to plagiarism, there was nothing they could do about her!

She couldn’t believe that Serena, that bitch, had any evidence!

"Well, I do have evidence." Serena’s rosy lips curled slightly, and then her delicate fingers tapped on her phone.

The next moment, the big screen on stage suddenly lit up and started playing a video.

The video clearly recorded all the evidence of Serena composing the piece.

Serena lifted her eyes and looked at her coldly, "Do you have anything else to say now?"

She liked to record herself when creating music; this piece was composed before she returned to Imperia, as a tribute to her grandmother.

Cassia Everett’s face instantly turned pale, speechless in the face of the evidence, her sharp nails digging into her palm, her gaze growing more venomous.

Serena, that bitch, actually had evidence!

She’s completely done for!

"Who would have thought Cassia Everett was such a person, plagiarizing and then biting back. We wrongfully trusted her before!"

"Exactly! Cassia Everett fooled us all, her scheming runs too deep!"

In a short time, Cassia Everett became a target of public scorn.

Jocelyn Sterling, Ivan Everett, and Ian Everett truly believed Cassia wouldn’t do something as disgraceful as plagiarism, but faced with undeniable evidence, they had to believe.

Their gazes toward Cassia were filled with disappointment and heartache.

Noticing the pride in Jocelyn, Ivan, and Ian’s eyes when they looked at Serena, but only disappointment toward her, Cassia Everett panicked.

She had been banished from the music circle, her reputation destroyed by Serena. If she lost Jocelyn and Ivan’s favor, she would truly have nothing left...

She absolutely couldn’t let this happen!

Cassia’s eyes turned malicious, then immediately filled with tears, looking pitiful.

"I know I was wrong, sister. I overheard you practicing and, in a moment of weakness, plagiarized your piece. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this one time..."

Serena’s rosy lips curled into a mocking smile, watching her acting indifferently.

Seeing Serena’s unresponsive demeanor, Cassia gritted her teeth, then rushed towards the balcony.

"Since you won’t forgive me, sister, I have no face to live anymore. I might as well die..."

With that, Cassia rushed towards the balcony, shocking everyone present.

"Stop her quickly..."

Although they despised Cassia, they couldn’t watch her harm herself; they were on the seventeenth floor, a fall from here would be fatal.

"Cassia, calm down, please don’t jump..."

Jocelyn and Ivan also hurried over. Seeing this scene, the mockery in Serena’s expression deepened.

A person like Cassia wouldn’t actually jump; it was just a show to gain sympathy.

[Little one, brother has arrived at the school gate to pick you up for dinner.]

Seeing the message from the man, Serena’s mood brightened. Without even glancing at Cassia, she turned and left.

"Serena, don’t go, stay and have dinner with me!" Graham Tate hurried to catch up, grinning obsequiously, "I rarely come to Imperia University!"

"I’ve already promised to dine with someone else."
