Chapter 213:
Nearby, Vernon observed Janice’s calm and composed demeanor, his eyes glinting with admiration. He had been ready to intervene and confront Yvonne, but seeing Janice’s steady confidence, he realized it wasn’t necessary.
Janice wasn’t just stunning; her strength, intelligence, and poise made her genuinely formidable.
“Your piano piece is plagiarized,” Yvonne fixed her piercing gaze on Janice. “And the person you plagiarized from is none other than the legendary music icon, RAIN.”
The room erupted in murmurs, the mention of RAIN’s name shocking everyone into disbelief.
“Plagiarize from RAIN? That’s impossible!”
“RAIN is a legend, famously elusive, always performing in disguise. Even at the royal court banquet, she wore a mask to hide her identity.”
“Does she think RAIN’s mystery means she’s not popular? RAIN isn’t just a musician; she’s a symbol of perfection in the industry.”
Carman turned to Yvonne, his expression a mixture of confusion and surprise. He hadn’t imagined Janice’s name being tied to the legendary RAIN in any way.
“Don’t speak. Let me handle this,” Yvonne whispered in his ear. “You’ve been accused of plagiarism. Right now, the only way out of this mess is to shift the narrative. If we can redirect the fans’ and public’s anger onto Janice, you might still have a chance. Otherwise, your music career is over.”
Carman’s heart pounded as he nodded. “Fine…”
Yvonne turned to Janice with a sneer, her voice cold and commanding. “Janice, you’ve been hiding behind your so-called originality, but your piano piece bears a striking resemblance to the style of none other than RAIN.”
With a snap of her fingers, Yvonne signaled the backstage crew. Moments later, the room filled with the hauntingly beautiful melody of RAIN’s famous piece, “Redemption.”

The composition had been performed at a royal banquet, and its haunting melody was revered by musicians everywhere. Many tried to master it, admiring its intricate beauty.
As the music played, murmurs rippled through the audience. Upon closer listening, Janice’s piano piece did share certain similarities with “Redemption.” But to call it plagiarism was a stretch.
Sharing a style wasn’t enough to definitively prove theft, and most knew that.
However, Yvonne’s intent wasn’t to present concrete proof; it was to sway public opinion and solidify the accusation in people’s minds.
“Janice, of all the people you could plagiarize, why did it have to be RAIN?” Carman said, his voice suddenly firm as he stepped forward. “She’s not just a musician; she’s an…” idol to all of us. Her musical genius is unparalleled, and even legends like Nolan Fletcher admire her. Plagiarizing her is more than theft; it’s a slap in the face to our entire musical community.
Immediately, the narrative online turned against Janice. Musicians, fans, and critics alike began condemning her.
Even if her composition merely resembled RAIN’s style and didn’t qualify as outright plagiarism, the mere suggestion was enough to spark outrage. No one would tolerate such a violation of their idol.
