Chapter 882 Reach The Peak
After finishing dinner, Cassandra returned to her room in the evening and immediately called her assistant.
Although she was currently staying at Rainsworth Manor, Nicholas hadn’t lived with her, using her pregnancy as a reason to avoid it.
“Arrange for people to boost the trending topic tonight, no matter how much it costs. I want it to reach its peak,” Cassandra instructed.
She knew that if Nicholas intervened, the buzz would quickly die down. Tonight was the best time to strike.
“Understood.”
The assistant agreed and worked through the night, spending money to buy traffic and hiring several media figures to help.
In no time, the buzz skyrocketed, with countless posts accusing Cecilia of plagiarism across major platforms.
Even Eric, who was abroad, saw the news, claiming that Cecilia had plagiarized Cecille’s composition and used it to compete in a contest. She was branded as utterly shameless.
It was still daytime where Eric was. When he saw the news, he was stunned.
“What kind of joke is this? Why would Ceci plagiarize herself?”
His manager had also noticed the news. “Isn’t this song ‘Won’t Give Up‘ the one you and Ms. Cecille just signed as a new release?”
“Yes.” Eric nodded. “Cecilia said she wanted to try submitting it to a competition first.”
“I see.” The manager mused. “She must’ve been set up. I’ve heard the song many times, and it’s definitely in her usual style. Accusing her of plagiarizing her own work doesn’t make any sense.”
Eric agreed, feeling the same way.
While thinking about how to help Cecilia resolve the crisis, he accidentally liked the news post.
“D*mn it, that was a slip,” he muttered, frowning.
He quickly tried to undo the like, but before he could, his manager told him, “Too late. You’ve already added to the momentum.”
Indeed, the very next moment, a piece of news surfaced.
Sure enough, another headline popped up immediately after. Famous Singer Eric Likes Post Accusing Cecilia of Plagiarism, Allegedly Supporting Ms. Cecille.
Following this, many of Eric’s fans began to chime in with their support,
One comment read: Eric’s career started with Ms. Cecille’s songs, so of course he’d stand up for her when he sees her Another read: Eric is amazing! Go Eric! Let’s help Ms. Cecille and get that Cecilia out of the music industry!
In no time, the comment section exploded with countless new responses.
Eric felt like crying.
His manager gave him a side–eye. “So, what are you going to do now?”
“I’ll post a clarification.” Eric decided.
He quickly drafted a post on his Twitter: Everyone, let’s be rational. I believe Cecilia Smith wouldn’t plagiarize, because…
Before he could finish typing, the director called him to film the next commercial.
With no choice, Eric hurriedly posted the incomplete message.
This post left his fans confused.
What was going on?
Was their idol admitting that Cecilia plagiarized or not?
While the fans didn’t fully understand, Eric’s statement had inadvertently added more fuel to the rumors about Cecilia, with even more people demanding that she publicly apologize and never return to the music industry.
By the early hours of the morning, the rumors had reached their peak.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Paula lay on her bed, unable to sleep due to the pain that had been tormenting her. She hadn’t had a good night’s rest in a long time.
As the pain became unbearable, she grabbed her phone and began scrolling through the news.
Before long, she stumbled upon the rumors about Cecilia.
“Plagiarism?”
Paula remembered Cecilia composing music.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
She had always thought that, given Cecilia’s health, writing music seemed like an impossible task.
But now, after seeing the news, for the first time, she felt a twinge of concern
“No way. How could she plagiarize?”
Paula wasn’t sure about anything else, but she was certain Cecilia wouldn’t plagiarize others.
That morning, Paula spent hours investigating the source of the rumors.
When the caregiver came in, she saw Paula wide awake, still glued to her phone.
