Chapter 358 How Do You Intend to Prove That?

As the initial question was raised, Sierra felt a slight clenching in her heart. Since she was aware of the inevitability of the moment, she was bracing for what was to come.

Realizing Maggic might have more persuasive evidence, Sierra recognized the advantage of presenting her evidence early to establish credibility.

“One important rule to remember for this competition is that we have a zero–tolerance policy for plagiarism and theft, stated one of the judges emphatically. “While collaboration and assistance are permitted, any acts of plagiarism will be strictly prohibited.”

Sierra acknowledged with a nod, replying, “Understood.”

Maggie offered a brief nod in agreement. Ralph, previously partial to Sierra, asked her, “Do you understand the seriousness of this issue?”

Maggie met his stare with a smile that did not quite reach her eyes and answered, “Yes.”

Sierra then displayed her evidence, including ancient manuscripts authored by someone else and a video of her playing the piano at the Cameron residence a week earlier.

These manuscripts were written three months ago, as shown by the dated and revised pages. Here is also a video of me playing the piano just last week, Sierra detailed.

The judges scrutinized Sierra’s manuscripts, observing the edits and the aged look of the papers.

Yet, someone stood up, advocating for thoroughness, “Sierra, although these manuscripts are dated, such dates can be altered. Do you have any other evidence?”

Sierra paused briefly. She had prepared for the possibility that Maggie might perform the same piece, in which case Ivan would have testified for her.

Unfortunately, Ivan’s absence rendered this plan unfeasible, and with Kehlani causing trouble at home, Sierra found herself without any witnesses.

Subconsciously, Sierra had not expected Maggie to change the piece, so she had not taken extensive precautions. Yet …

Maggie submitted several manuscripts and asked the host to display a video of her piano practice from six months prior on the large screen.

The piece had been composed shortly after her rebirth, with most practice sessions occurring at Kevin’s place and her own home.
