When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 886

Chapter 886 Stop Blackmailing Me

Paula was still waiting for Cassandra, but even by noon, Cassandra hadn't sent her the money.

In the end, all she received was a text message from Cassandra.

Cassandra: Mdm. Paula, stop blackmailing me. I don't have money to give you.

Upon seeing the message, Paula was so enraged that she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

She immediately contacted all the media outlets to come over.

Meanwhile, Cecilia found it odd that the online uproar had suddenly died down.

Who is helping me?

Growing impatient, Cecilia said to Charlotte, “Lottie, go ahead and release the statement.”

Charlotte had been waiting for this moment.

Cecilia's alias as a composer, Cecille, had already gained a massive following of millions in the country. And now, due to this controversy, her follower count had surged to over ten million.

Following Cecilia's instructions, Charlotte logged in and started typing: First of all, I want to thank all my fans for their support. Secondly, I want to clarify that the accusations of Cecilia Smith plagiarizing are completely false.

She continued to type: There's no other reason but this—I am Cecilia Smith. When I returned to compete in the music competition, I didn't use my real identity. This was done to avoid influencing the judges' decision and to ensure the competition was fair. Additionally, I wanted to see if my work could be recognized by the domestic music industry, without the bias of my fame. Finally, I am only speaking out now because I discovered that someone was using dishonest methods, such as hiring fake followers and manipulating online traffic, which made the competition unfair.

After finishing, Charlotte posted evidence collected by the company, which also included proof of certain judges accepting bribes.

As soon as this announcement was made, it sent shockwaves through the internet.

No one had expected such a twist, and even less expected that the renowned composer, Cecille, was actually the very person they thought was a nobody—Cecilia Smith.

No wonder her compositions were so outstanding! No wonder her musical style felt so familiar!
