Chapter 622 To the Next Round

That day, Rachel found a piece of music in the orchestra that was perfect for the "love" theme. She remembered the melody, and with just a slight modification, it could be used as her entry for the competition. At that moment, Rachel felt incredibly lucky.

The piece was already quite popular, and if it was put to an online vote, Rachel believed she would at least earn a special

award.

Because not long ago, Meryl had posted the melody on Twitter, which was then shared by cellist Casey.

It was then that Rachel realized the piece she had found in the orchestra was actually composed by Meryl.

To her surprise, Meryl was so talented, and Rachel was consumed with jealousy. So, Rachel created a fake online

account, claiming to be the original composer, and conveniently attached the original manuscript as proof.

By then, Meryl will have no future in the music world and may even be permanently banned."

A sly smile curved on Rachel's lips.

With the submission deadline for the composition approaching, Rachel was preparing to make a few tweaks to the melody and submit it for the competition.

The melody was beautiful, and the competition required participants to compose within 48 hours. Using an existing piece was risky, but Rachel was willing to take the chance. She figured that with her minor changes, no one would be able
