Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Lucas stood by Olivia’s side. “Miss Sutton’s assistant has already released some behind-the- scenes clips from her rehearsals.

“Everyone is free to check for themselves. The Clark family and the Wright family won’t let baseless rumors slide. Get ready to receive a lawyer’s letter.”

But even with his tough attitude, the swarm of reporters wasn’t backing down.

But then she remembered the news she got before the performance. The girl was still lying in the hospital, waiting for surgery. She then felt relaxed.

Olivia said, “It took me a lot of time and effort to perfect ‘Chasing the Wind.‘ It wasn’t just a sudden burst of inspiration. It was a long process of refinement.

‘I admit I didn’t keep it completely under wraps, so it’s possible someone saw an unfinished version and might have tried to imitate it.”

She was certain that the girl had only just completed the final version, and this was her first time performing it in public.

Olivia figured the most likely explanation was that someone had seen an incomplete version before, but at best, it was just a half–finished piece.

The reporter gave a meaningful smile. “But Miss Sutton, what she performed wasn’t some unfinished version. It was identical to tonight’s dance.”

“No way!” Olivia blurted out, immediately refuting him.

She didn’t even pause to wonder how people outside the theater had managed to see her performance so quickly, let alone accuse her of plagiarism.

But then Lucas suddenly realized something.
