The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 316

316 Absolute Sound

“You said that you wrote this score, so why don’t you play it where I haven’t played yet?” Sharon tilted her head and looked at the woman in front of her in amusement. I didn’t expect Yvette to be so overboard and still slander me.

Seeing the disgust on Sharon’s face, Yvette only clenched her fists nervously. She stood there in a sorry state and looked up at the judges and audience.

Everyone had a very interesting expression on their faces. Some people were mocking her, while others were filled with disdain for her. However, most of them were still shocked by this matter.

“I, I forgot...” Yvette felt a little guilty about Sharon’s question. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say and could only respond softly.

Quentin’s gaze landed on Sharon. The more I look at this woman, the more annoyed I am. I had wanted to take this opportunity to make her fail, but I didn’t expect this to happen.

“What exactly is going on?” Mr. Xander asked slowly, glancing at the assistant director beside him.

The assistant director was also sweating profusely. At that time, they had filmed Sharon’s performance backstage, and she hadn’t handed it to Mr. Xander. Thus, he didn’t know about this.

“We don’t know either.” The assistant director thought of the money Yvette had given her and felt very uneasy. If Mr. Xander finds out about this, I probably won’t be able to continue working here.

“Investigate this matter immediately. Host, go up and persuade everyone. This segment must be cut during the broadcast!”

Hearing Mr. Xander’s words, the host could only walk up against the pressure. “Everyone, I hope you can forget what happened today and keep quiet. Our program team will prepare a small gift for you. I hope this matter won’t spread.”

“So what if it doesn’t get out? Shouldn’t you give us justice?” Whitney’s voice sounded from below the stage. “We all saw that Yvette plagiarized Sharon’s song on the first stage, but the production team didn’t do anything and still protected her. Don’t you think so, Yumi?”

“That’s right. There was surveillance footage backstage,” Yumi whispered.

Mr. Xander glared at the other staff members and roared, “Go and find the surveillance cameras at that time immediately. Fortunately, this is a recording. If it’s a live broadcast, we’ll all be buried with them today!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t plagiarize Sharon’s song-you’re accusing me on purpose,” Yvette shouted loudly. She felt that as long as her voice was loud enough, she was in the right.

“You keep saying that it’s not you, so I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself,” Leomond suddenly said. “The two of you will compose a song on the spot with ‘light’ as the theme and then play your music. That’s very simple for two self-proclaimed creators, right?”

“I...” Yvette’s palms were covered in sweat, but facing Leomond, she didn’t know what to say. I might as well take a gamble. After all, I have tried to compose my own music before, so I shouldn’t be any worse than Sharon.

Sharon nodded and looked around. Then, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something and didn’t care about Yvette’s thoughts at all as she raised her hand to touch the piano keys.

Her slender fingers danced nimbly between the black and white, and the intoxicating sound of the piano came out.

The staff backstage were stunned, thinking that it was a judge playing, but they didn’t expect it to be Sharon.

The bright and cheerful rhythm made everyone immersed in the sound of the piano. Gradually, the originally lyrical tune became mellow and clear. Although there was still a small problem with the connection to the live composition, Sharon had already displayed a rather difficult performance.

Everyone looked surprised. They didn’t expect Sharon to perform without any pressure.

“I didn’t expect there to be such a talented person in the entertainment industry! Is this the legendary absolute pitch?” Although Levi didn’t know much about music, he could still hear the difference in performance. Sharon’s standard was definitely much better than ordinary people.

“Absolute pitch?” Quentin repeated in a low voice, “Wasn’t there someone in the past who could determine audio based on sound alone?”

“This Sharon is actually so powerful. I underestimated her in the past.”

“No way. I don’t think she’s that good. What’s going on? Did the judges leave out the questions in advance?”

“I can believe it if it was someone else, but the person who asked the question was Leomond. Who doesn’t know Leomond’s personality? This is definitely a last-minute idea!”
