Yvette stood and, step by step, walked unhurriedly toward Elliot As she moved, the applause gradually faded.

"Elliot copied someone else's music? Plagiarism is a disgracefulet in any field, especially in the music industry. For a musician, being caught plagiarizing would mean the end of their career, an audience member muttered. "She's accusing Elliot of plagiarism? How's that be possible?" another person exclaimed.

"She played Elliot's signature piece, then claimed he copied it. I she implying that 'Despaired Soul was plagiarized?" a third person asked, confusion clear in their voice.
