Chapter 28
Facing all kinds of doubts, Florence still kept a smile on her face.
She looked at Douglas affectionately. “We have already explained the photos and videos. They are all sheer fiction. As for the truth, I can’t tell you more, because Douglas and I have people that we want to protect.” Florence’s words were vague.
At this time, a man’s voice was heard.
“Sheer fiction? How dare you say that. The photos and videos are real. You s a t h e d away another person’s fiancé and even shamelessly hinted that the person you want to protect has fallen in love with the other guy. You’re merely pretending to be a good person after doing immoral things.” Giovanni, who was wearing sunglasses and had unruly silver hair, spoke ruthlessly. His words made Florence’s expression darkened.
The reporters started to ask questions again.
Meanwhile, Douglas tried to mediate the situation. “I’m already engaged to Flore, and we’ll hold our wedding ceremony one day. The Fletcher and the Hayes families approve of our relationship. I hope that you stop asking about it.”
However, Giovanni sneered and raised his chin, “You’re letting it go so quickly. Don’t you need to give the public an explanation for Florence’s lip syncing?”
Douglas realized that Giovanni was there to stir up trouble. “Fine, I’ll take this opportunity to explain Flore’s lip-syncing Douglas answered.
For a moment, everyone was silent. After all, it was big news that Fantasy Entertainment had never given an official response to.
Douglas cleared his throat. “Initially, Flore’s sample was accepted. But after drinking the coffee brewed by Stephanie, her vocal cords were damaged, and she couldn’t sing anymore. To compensate Flore, Stephanie took the initiative to be her vocal double. It can be seen from the concert that Stephanie deliberately hurt Flore to become the latter’s vocal double. Stephanie’s goal is to ruin Flore when Flore is at the peak of her career.”
His words caused commotion around.
Florence was stunned. She did not expect that Douglas would tell them her excuse. If Stephanie were to know about it, she might take revenge on Florence. Thus, Florence clenched in silence.
One asked, “Wasn’t Stephanie your fiancée, Mr. Fletcher? Why is she Mr. Vincent Fletcher’s fiancée now?”
Another asked, “Stephanie is Florence’s sister. How could she do such a thing?”
Someone else chimed in, “How long has it been planned? She’s so c** g”
Another said, “I heard that Stephanie is a troublemaker. Who knew that she’s such a scheming b**h!”
Someone else said, “Florence is so unlucky to have such a sister.”
The whole public opinion turned in favor of Florence and slandered Stephanie.
Giovanni gritted his teeth in anger and shouted, “Calm down, everyone! Are you sure it’s Stephanie’s fault just from Douglas’ words? We shouldn’t cover up the truth. Stephanie will come today. How about waiting here for the truth?”
Everyone agreed and wanted to wait for the truth.
Looking at Florence’s pursed lips, Douglas patted her hand. “Don’t worry, Flore. We’ll take this opportunity to clarity and expose Stephanie’s schemes to the public,”

Just then, a black Maybach appeared at the entrance. Sitting in the passenger seat, Olivia got out of the car. She was used to walking on the red carpet.
Thus, she warmly greeted the reporters, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
Meanwhile, Zane got out of the car and got the wheelchair ready. He opened the door and helped Vincent sit on it. Then, Stephanie got out of the car and pushed Vincent’s wheelchair forward.
One said, “Wow, she’s so beautiful!”
Another commented, “Yes, she has a
a good figure as well. Just look at her long hair.”
The praises were heard and Olivia raised her head. “Thank you, everyone.”
One said, “I haven’t seen her before. She is Mr. Vincent Fletcher’s fiancée, right?”
Another commented, “I didn’t expect her to be so beautiful, like a fairy.”
Someone else chimed in, “She looks like a famous celebrity and
and even more beautiful than the best actress.”
The corners of Olivia’s mouth twitched. It turned out that those compliments were for Stephanie. Olivia tried hard to maintain the smile on her face as she watched the cameras aimed at the spot behind her.
Meanwhile, Vincent did not like to be photographed, so he looked grim. Noticing the situation, Stephanie tried to walk faster. However, enemies often crossed paths, and they met Douglas and Florence.
Douglas stopped the two and said, “I’m sorry to bother you, Uncle Vincent, but I want to ask Stephanie for some clarification.”
Vincent looked at him. “If you know you’re bothering me, why do you still do it? Get out of the way.” His voice wasn’t loud, but his tone was
unquestionable,
His instruction made Douglas feel embarrassed, Moreover, Douglas already confirmed that Stephanie would explain about the vocal double, so he had to
bite the bullet and insist on it.
“I just want to ask Stephanie to clarify Flore’s vocal double, Uncle Vincent,” Douglas said.
‘Vocal double?’ Vincent wondered. Then, Vincent looked at Stephanie. “What do you think!”
Stephanie nodded. “I’ll explain.”
“Okay.” Vincent nodded.
With a smile, Stephanie said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Stephanie, who used to be Florence’s vocal double. It was me who revealed her lip-syncing at the concert. Florence used my sample and handed it over to Fantasy Entertainment under her name. Then, she was chosen by Fantasy Entertainment and became a popular celebrity, Knowing that the secret would be exposed sooner or later, she admitted her mistake and hoped that I could be her vocal double. I thought that she treated me sincerely, so I forgave her and agreed to be her vocal double.”
Someone retorted, “What Mr. Douglas Fletcher said is exactly the opposite. He said that Florence’s sample passed the company’s various tests. But her throat was damaged and her vocal cords were injured after drinking coffee from you. You became Florence’s vocal double to compensate her. Moreover, you want her to suffer a crushing defeat so you revealed the secret about the vocal double.”
Turning to look at Florence, Stephanie said, “Was it your sample that passed the company’s tests? Are your vocal cords injured after drinking the coffee? But how could you speak so well?”
Florence knew that she had been caught in a difficult situation. Thus, she had to go along with the plan. Moreover, she had deleted the sample, and there was no backup in the company.

“Of course, it was my sample. But there’s no backup in the company.” Florence pursed her lips and added, “As for the coffee, you and I know about it. I can talk, but I can’t sing anymore.”
“Can’t you sing?” Stephanie raised her eyebrows. “Have everyone watched the video during the engagement party? Your voice that time was louder than your singing voice, right?”
With eyes brimming with tears, Florence said, “How can you slander me, Stephie?”
“I’m telling the truth, and you’re the one slandering me.” Stephanie looked at Glovanni before adding, “Didn’t you say you want evidence? Show them the sample back then, Giovanni,”
speaker from his backpack and connected it to the Bluetooth.
Giovanni took out a speaker
A sad melody sounded, and Stephanie’s voice was heard.
It was the first song released by Florence back then. She not only won Song of the Year using the song but also established her presence in the music industry. The sample was only the first draft, and there were some noises in it.
A subtle wave of emotions flashed across Florence’s eyes. “It doesn’t prove anything! You could be doing something for the post-production.”
Stephanie nodded. “Indeed. Did you bring your laptop, Giovanni?”
Giovanni took out his laptop and put it in front of Stephanie.
Then, Stephanie clicked on a video from an email. “Everyone, please watch this.”
