Chapter 206 Plagiarism.

“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to doubt you, it’s just…”

Anna didn’t know how to explain. Finally, she just said, “Please come with me.”

Tatiana followed her to the recording studio. The moment the door opened, she heard singing.

Harpie was recording, crooning a familiar melody. How could it not be familiar? She had spent the last three days working on it.

But the lyrics were different from hers.

She finally understood Anna’s earlier expression.

“Did… did something go wrong?” Anna asked hesitantly.

Tatiana took a deep breath. “I understand. Who wrote this piece?”

“This is the work of another composer. It arrived yesterday. Harpie loves it and started recording this morning. The studio producers all agree it’s perfect for the lead single. I like it a lot too. I thought you would bring something even better…” Anna quickly stopped, covering her mouth, annoyed at her slip–up.

Tatiana’s gaze turned cold. She had worked on this piece for three days, shown it to no one, and hadn’t referenced any other music. Plagiarism was impossible. She really wanted to know who this mind–reader was.

“Trying to act like a big shot, huh? I thought she was someone impressive, turns out she’s just a thief!” a discordant voice interjected.

It was one of the company’s regular composers, who had written many popular hits. He had assumed he would be writing Harpie’s single this time, but then someone else had appeared out of nowhere. He was resentful and took the opportunity to kick her while she was down.

“DC

u check people’s backgrounds before hiring them? It’s bad for your reputation if thin o wrong.”

Anna’s expression soured. “What are you implying? Maybe there’s a misunderstanding. Why jump to conclusions?”

“What misunderstanding could there be? First come, first served. Ms. Lowell sent hers over yesterday.”

Tatiana immediately asked, “Ms. Lowell? Who?”

Just then, footsteps approached.

“Ms. Lowell, this way, please. Harpic loves your song. We can discuss further collaboration.”

Tatiana turned and saw someone utterly familiar.

Bianca.

She was surrounded by people, all flattering her.

“Ms. Lowell’s work is truly exceptional. We very much hope to collaborate more in the future.”

Bianca looked slightly embarrassed. “I’m just glad you like it.”

It was a picture of harmony.

Those people also saw Anna and smirked. “I hear you found someone very impressive. Is the piece finished? Why not let us hear it?”

Anna knew they meant trouble, but she couldn’t present the manuscript she held. With an 80% similarity and the timing difference, it would be enough to brand Tati a plagiarist, even though Anna didn’t believe for a second that she would copy someone.

Caught in a bind, Tatiana suddenly stepped forward, took the score from Anna, and fed it directly into the nearby shredder.

Anna stared in shock as Tati smiled and said, “It’s not finished yet. Please wait one more day.”

Everyone was stunned that she had destroyed the score and then boldly asked for another day. After all, they had just heard that Anna’s piece was 80% similar to Ms. Lowell’s. They had come specifically to mock her.

Anna was furious. The choice of Harpie’s lead single was a competition between two directors. Whoever lost would lose face completely. She had thought she was finished, but seeing Tati’s calm demeanor, she decided to gamble. “That’s right,” she echoed. “What’s the hurry? The dea isn’t here yet. It’s too early to say who will win. Why are you so impatient?”

Tavin had disliked Anna for a long time. A woman throwing her weight around the company, always stepping on him to get ahead. He put on a fake smile. “Is that so? Then we’ll wait and see.” He didn’t believe for a second she could create something better than this song in just one day.
