Chapter 669

Ashlyn comforted and patted Laylah. She uttered in a calm tone, “Dear, calm down. This kid indeed is gifted.”

Ryan didn’t expect Laylah to get so agitated as well. Nevertheless, he was feeling extremely excited too.

He put his pride as the Piano Prince aside and picked up the microphone. “Charlotte, may I ask when you composed this?”

“I composed it when I was sixteen years old. During that time, I had some ideas about composing, but my skills are mediocre… So I know there are many flaws within the piece.” Charlotte spoke in a bashful manner.

It was difficult for her to muster up the courage to go onto the stage and join this competition. All credits had to go to Joseph and Fae for encouraging her to do it.

Without their encouragement, she wouldn’t have had the courage to stand on the stage.

Fae, who was sitting in the auditorium, was looking at the young lady emotionally, her heart swelling with pride and happiness.

She could not help but hold her husband’s hand. “That was so wonderful of Lottie.”

James was much calmer in comparison. “The judges have not given their scores yet.”

Ryan beamed and looked at Charlotte. Even the blue hair on his forehead seemed exceptionally lively. “The melody was perfect. I like it and appreciate it a lot.”

Other judges gave Charlotte many compliments as well.

Except for Hera who was seated below, all the people around her were cheering and clapping for Charlotte.

It sounded the same as Sounds of Ranging Winds. How did it become a work of Charlotte? She did it when she was sixteen? Is she a genius? Can a sixteen-year-old compose piano pieces? Aren’t you taking the joke too far?

There was pent-up anger within her. She rose to her feet all of a sudden and shouted, “She’s lying!”

The accusation shocked everyone as they looked toward Hera in shock.

She held her chin high and looked arrogantly at Charlotte as she continued, “The name of this melody is known as Sounds of Ranging Winds. It is the work of my mentor, Michael Underwood.”

Upon hearing that, everybody was startled and gasped in unison before gazing at Charlotte in a different light.

“Everything about being a genius is fake after all.”

“That’s right. How can a sixteen-year-old know how to compose piano pieces?”

“Nowadays, people are willing to say anything just to be famous.”

Charlotte’s face turned pale. She had never heard of Sounds of Ranging Winds before. The piece that she had played just now was indeed composed by her.

She began clenching her fists tightly as her mind went blank.

No. That is not true.

Suddenly, she met Joseph’s encouraging gaze.

It was as if her troubled heart had found some comfort immediately.

He seemed to be telling her not to be afraid and be herself bravely.

In the blink of an eye, her racing heart gradually began to calm down, and her urge to run away slowly dissipated.

You can do it, Charlotte! You definitely can! You just need to express yourself! Voice out your thoughts bravely.

Ashlyn also frowned, feeling worried for the young lady.

Charlotte had experienced severe emotional trauma. Besides, she was disfigured after the incident as well.

Ashlyn could not help but wonder how Charlotte had mustered her courage and strength to be able to stand on the stage and face so many people.

She didn’t expect that Charlotte would be accused by someone.

Although Ashlyn had never heard of the piece that Hera mentioned, she instinctively believed that Charlotte did not plagiarize anything.

Ryan also did not wish for the genius to meet her downfall so soon. He hesitated before asking, “What have you got to say, Charlotte?”

The young lady, who had bandages over her face, chewed on her lip. Her eyes were filled with fear. But after some time, she managed to compose herself.

Just as Ashlyn was about to stand up and said that it was not the right time to question Charlotte because the latter had a mental health issue.

However, Charlotte spoke up. Her voice was clear and crisp that carried her own unique charm as she exclaimed, “I did not plagiarize that. I’ve never heard of Sounds of Ranging Winds. I composed this piece on my own. I-I can confront the person on this matter!”
