Chapter 29
Everyone held their breath, afraid that they would miss any important evidence. Their phones and video cameras were aimed at the laptop screen. The video was recorded using a webcam.
Stephanie recorded herself playing the guitar and singing the song.
At this time. Florence came in. “It’s a beautiful song, Stephie. What’s the title?”
“It’s called ‘Separation, Stephanie replied.
Sitting next to her, Florence asked, “Can you teach me how to sing it?”
“Surek
Stephanie said with a smile.
Then, she started to sing and Florence repeated.
Although Florence was not out of tune, her voice was not distinctive. An entertainment company would not be interested in her with this kind of
standard.
The video stopped. Stephanie looked at Florence and said, “So, did Fantasy Entertainment choose you because of the video? In all fairness, do I need to poison you with your having this kind of voice?”
Florence’s face was pale and her eyelashes fluttered. “You just want to destroy me when I’m at the peak of my career,”
Then, Stephanie replied slowly. “If I wanted to do so, I would’ve already revealed this evidence. Why do I need to wait until you slander me?”
“You just want to see me humiliated. If you treat me as your sister, why do you deliberately wait here to embarrass me in public?” Florence choked with
Jobs
Giovanni tutted. “I’ve long wanted to expose your shameless behavior, so I’m always ready.”
Stephanie sneered, “I didn’t start it. You seduced my fiancé and asked me to become your vocal double. Also, I
Afraid that she would say something about the rough sketch, Florence interrupted her by saying, “We are sisters, Stephie. Do you have to be so heartless?”
Nevertheless, Stephanie looked at her indifferently. “So it’s perfectly justified for you to hurt me, but i’m heartless if I fight back. Have you ever thought about us when you did those loathsome things?”
She looked at the crowd and said, “That’s what happened with the vocal double. Florence stole my sample and was chosen after using it during the audition in Fantasy Entertainment. Then, she asked me to become her vocal double. I happily agreed because we’re sisters. Every time she attended a fan party, a music festival, or a concert, I would sing in her place under the stage. I love the music and every cheer from the fansel also love the support and encouragement from everyone, even though the praises weren’t for me. I apologize for keeping it a secret from you. I’m truly sorry.”
After saying that, she nodded solemnly. At this point, everything was clear.
One asked, “Will you sing again, Stephanie?”
Another said, “That’s right. Release an album and hold a concert in your own name!”
Someone else chimed in, “We all love your voice,
Another said, “We will all go to your concerts.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Then, someone else said, “You’re such a liar, Florence. How dare you say that you were set up by Stephanie? You’re such a shameless person! You’re even
worse than an amateur singer”
Another chimed in, “You’re a pretentious b**h, Florence, Get out of the entertainment industry!”
Someone else added, “That’s right!”
Another said, “Change the singer from Florence to Stephanie.”
With eyes brimming with tears, Florence looked at Douglas. “Douglas.”
Douglas did not expect that Florence was lying and that she would be exposed so soon. At this moment, his face was grim.
Then, he said in a low voice, “You’ve humiliated me! I’ll settle the score after we go back.”
When he was about to take her into the hotel, Vincent said, “Why are you leaving? Shouldn’t you apologize after slandering Stephanie? Shouldn’t you apologize after deceiving the public?”
One said, “Apologize!”
Another chimed in, “Yes, apologize!”
Douglas pursed his lips and pushed Florence in front of the reporters. only found out about the vocal double now. Although Florence did it on her own, as the CEO of Fantasy Entertainment, I’m also responsible for it. I failed to verify the truth of our company’s celebrity and disappointed all the fans. I apologize sincerely to you. I’m sorry.”
Meanwhile, Florence sobbed. “I apologize to my fans. I’m truly sorry.”
Giovanni sneered, “Who knows? It might be that you just let it happen. After all, the two of you had an affair long ago.”
A o o n as he finished speaking, commotion began again.
Douglas’ and Florence’s expressions darkened.
At this time, Horace and Matilda walked over quickly.
“That’s enough, Stephanie!” Matilda exclaimed,
After saying that, Matilda raised her hand wanting to slap Stephanie
Vincent was about to stand up when he saw Stephanie grab Matilda’s wrist. Stephanie said, “I’m the one enough with you all! You’ve been favoring Florence since we were young. I was always the wrong one. But she deserves what happened today. She even wanted to slander me after using me!”
Matilda was about to retaliate when Stephanie reminded her, “Tonight is Mrs. Fletcher’s birthday party. Do you want to give her such a huge gift?” – Matilda’s expression changed and she said in a voice that could only be heard by the two, “Just wait for it, **h!”
Instead of getting angry, Stephanie laughed. “Look! This is my mother. A mother who says such harsh words to her child’ she exclaimed inwardly. After that, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Am I your biological daughter?”
Matilda’s eyelashes fluttered. “I really should have strangled you back then, you ungrateful child!”
Taking a deep breath, Stephanie shook off her wrist and said, “I regret being born into a family like yours.”
“You!” Matilda gritted her teeth

Stephanie was no longer in the mood to talk to Matilda further, so the former turned around and walked behind Vincent. With a faint smile, she looked at the crowd and said, “Life is full of surprises, right? Maybe you’ll get to hear my songs again someday.” With that, she wheeled Vincent into the lobby.
Meanwhile, Florence trotted toward the hotel with Douglas, lowering her head to reduce her presence.
Horace and Matilda followed them, looking embarrassed.
Douglas took Florence to the lounge. He glared at her and asked, “What’s your explanation?”
Florence cried bitterly. “I love you. Douglas. I had no choice because I wanted to get close to you, I thought as long as I entered Fantasy Entertainment, I would be closer to you.”
Nevertheless, Douglas shook her hand away. “Do you think I’m an idiot? I was humiliated today!”
Florence hugged him. “Douglas, it’s Stephie’s mess too. She said yes first, then backed out. And I’ve still got my acting and designs!”
At the thought of Florence still being useful to him, Douglas felt less resentful. “Be well prepared for the product launch. Make Stephanie green with
envy!”
“I will” Florence nodded.
Then, Douglas patted her on the shoulder. “Go fix your makeup, and then come to the banquet hall to see me.”
Florence hummed in response. After seeing Douglas leave, the smile on her face disappeared. She called Lucianna. “There’s no room for failure this time,
Lucia!”
