When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 117 She Has Been Sued

Before Stella could explain, the call was abruptly ended. Stella clenched her fists in frustration.

That rascal Felix actually tattled to his family.

After some careful thought, Stella concluded that her fall was undoubtedly connected to those children.

How could the hallway be so slippery? And why, of all times, did it have to be right after I fell that Felix and another kid came over carrying a bucket of mop water? He had somehow managed to spill all the water on me by sheer coincidence!

Stella really didn’t expect to be bested by a mere kid. The next time she saw him, she was determined to give him a hard time.

Just when she was in a fit of anger, her manager inconveniently decided to call. “Stella, there’s. trouble. Your song. Ray of Light in the Dark, has been sued. The internet is in an uproar.”

“Hasn’t everything been resolved?” Stella asked, puzzled.

“What do you mean it’s resolved? Go see for yourself. The song belongs to Ms. Cecille, and it was released four years ago. The song you released is ninety–nine percent similar to hers.” The manager was now as frantic as ants on a hot pan. “Now, they’re not just accusing you of plagiarism, but also claiming you abused your power and had Ms. Cecille’s lawyer detained for a day. Previously, the chat logs between our assistant and Ms. Cecille’s studio were also exposed. Everyone’s saying that we couldn’t afford to buy others‘ compositions and that we relied on stealing them.”

After hearing that, Stella felt her head throbbing. “Let me take a look first.” She forced herself to stay calm. Upon unlocking her phone, she was greeted with news of her plagiarism scandal topping the trending list.
