This time, with Paisley’s help handling the adoption paperwork, Emilia felt deeply grateful.
Time flew by, and two more days slipped past almost without notice.
That afternoon, Emilia and Bella were having lunch together when her phone buzzed on the table.
She glanced at the screen.
#Faint Whispers—Re-recorded Version Released#
Re-recorded? Emilia frowned in mild confusion. What was different about this version? She tapped the notification.
Scrolling through, she noticed a change in the song credits.
The original release had been listed as:
Faint Whispers
Artist: Vivienne
Lyrics: Vivienne
Music: Vivienne
But now, the new version read:
Faint Whispers (Re-recorded)
Artist: Vivienne
Lyrics: Vivienne / Emy
Music: Vivienne / Emy
Apparently, the lyrics and composition had been tweaked—barely half a line here and there. Otherwise, it was the same song as before.
Emilia almost laughed. What was Vivienne trying to pull?
Back when they’d considered suing Vivienne, Donovan Entertainment had already registered the copyright, with Emilia as the sole lyricist and composer. All the data from the previous release—her statements, the company’s legal notices—had been officially notarized and preserved as evidence, recognized by the court. Even if they scrubbed the song from the internet, it wouldn’t matter. Now, just by tacking on Emy’s name, did Vivienne really think that would fix things?
“So basically, Emy just helped a little bit with the re-recording, tweaked a few words, and now she gets co-credit for writing and composing? Vivienne is way too nice!”
Debate broke out—some accused Emy of getting a huge freebie, while others praised Vivienne for being so generous and respectful, even for minor contributions.
Emilia couldn’t help but be amazed. Was this really happening?
Vivienne had managed to spin the story in a way that made her look like the main creative force, with Emy as a minor helper—while at the same time, marketing herself as generous and uncompetitive.
Impressive move.
But Vivienne clearly hadn’t realized that Emilia and her team were already prepared for this.
Just as Emilia was thinking this, her phone buzzed again, this time more insistently.
It was Emy’s number.
Vivienne was calling.
