Finding True Love After...

1/8

Chapter 624 Finding the Culprit

Christine was certain that the force she applied would make that string snap before long, yet she couldn't understand why, after the piece ended, the string remained intact.

As the last note faded into silence, the audience erupted into thunderous applause.

This piece was simply breathtaking!

Everyone found themselves on their feet, clapping for Meryl.

Even after she left the stage, cradling her cello, the crowd remained entranced, still lost in the moment.

Rachel instinctively glanced at Christine, her expression dripping with disdain, as if to say, "You're useless."

Christine was completely taken aback.

She was sure she had tampered with Meryl's cello, so why hadn't the string broken?

The piece had received unanimous praise, with even the judges applauding from the audience.

The cello's mournful notes were already rich with storytelling and paired with such an emotional composition; it moved everyone to their core.

Meryl's piece seemed to narrate a love that had weathered the

years.

Golden sunlight bathed an elderly couple, their white hair glowing as they sat on a bench beneath the setting sun, leaning into each other and gazing into the horizon. The music Meryl produced was a heartfelt tale of love, infused with a serene sense of time standing still.

It was simply beautiful.

The performance had far surpassed the thirty-second preview, and the cello was the perfect instrument for this poignant story.

After a long moment, Casey finally snapped back to reality.

He turned to Harvey beside him and said, "Now I see why you took her on as your student. She's incredible."

Meryl had only been composing for a few days, but her talent was undeniable-she was truly gifted.

The combination of the stage lighting and the set design melded perfectly with her performance, drawing everyone into her world of music.

Harvey puffed out his chest with pride. "Of course! I don't just take anyone under my wing!"

The judges had a say in the scoring, but at this stage, the

Chapter 624 Finding the Culprit audience's votes carried more weight.

[This is hands down the best piece I've heard in years.]

[Stop commenting! Everyone, vote now! This masterpiece deserves first place!]

[No way! Is this the same person accused of plagiarism on Twitter?]

[Hiding like a coward, dodging the plagiarism accusations online, and now sneaking back into a composition contest? I bet this new piece is just another rip-off.] Comments quickly polarized, with netizens debating the plagiarism allegations.

Meryl was blissfully unaware of the online chaos.

Terms like "beautiful," "plagiarism," and "Casey's junior fellow apprentice" dominated the hot topics list.

Due to the overwhelming buzz, Meryl was thrust into the

Meanwhile, Lydia, glued to her phone as she watched the livestream, was seething with jealousy.

She never expected Meryl to study under Harvey, let alone compete in such a prestigious composition contest!

Given the current trajectory, it was clear Meryl was on her way to winning.

After her first miscarriage, Lydia was determined to take it easy during her pregnancy, and Charlotte insisted she stay indoors.
