Chapter 67
“Why not?” Kiki inquired, perplexed.
“I didn’t apply for copyright on that song. Besides, It has been slightly modified. If we go to court, it would be difficult to prove that it’s stolen. Also, did you forget that Xavier was backing her? He would never let her lose the lawsuit.”
Over the years, Daphne had done whatever she wanted without a care in the world. Though people. had sued her, they always lost miserably because the entire legal department at Lane Group was at her beck and call.
In addition, if she wanted to sue Daphne, she’d have to do so on internationally, which would make things all the more difficult.
“Then… are we just going to let her get away with this?”
Yvette walked out onto the balcony, gazed at the view before her, and said, “Of course not! We need to wait until we have enough evidence to deliver a decisive blow.”
She was never one to take things lying down, but she also knew better than to act recklessly.
After hearing that, Kiki could only sigh. “Alright, I’ll start gathering evidence.”
“Yeah. Sorry for troubling you with all these things.
“It’s alright. It’s been a while since I’ve handled a lawsuit,” Kiki responded with a smile.
She was well aware that Yvette was the one who felt worse in this situation. After all, the fruits of her labor had been stolen just like that.
Zachary waited until Kiki was done with her call before knocking on the door to her room. “Ms. Torres, did someone steal Mom’s song?”
Kiki hadn’t expected the little guy to be awake that early, but she didn’t keep it from him. “Yes, it’s that shameless A–list actress, Daphne Reyes! She’s a vixen and a homewrecker. She ruined your mom and
She got increasingly agitated as she continued, almost revealing the fact that Xavier was Zachary’s father. But before she could finish her sentence, Zachary cut her off.
“Mom said we shouldn’t cuss, Ms. Torres. Besides, I’m still a child. I don’t understand what a home…. wrecker is.”
Kiki was at a loss for words. After he left, he shouldered his small backpack and lectured Kiki like an old soul. “Ms. Torres, to achieve great things, one must remain calm and composed.”
Kiki was rendered speechless. It seemed like he knew better than anyone else. “Focus on your studies. Don’t lecture me. I’m the experienced one here, after all.”
After seeing Zachary off, Kiki went straight to work at her family’s branch office and had someone gather evidence of Daphne’s plagiarism.

Yvette didn’t let the matter rest either. She first called her assistant and asked them to inform Carnival Central Media about the plagiarism on behalf of the company. Then, she had her assistant save the chat logs from both sides as evidence.
Daphne’s latest single, “A Sliver of Light“, soon topped the charts, and she soon became a trending. topic.
Netizens started blowing up the internet.
“Who said our beloved Daph had run out of ideas? I bet you’re eating your words now, huh?”
“I’m not a fan of Daphne, but I really like this song.
“This song sounds so sad…”
“Don’t you know the story behind this song? Daphne wrote this after waiting on Xavier for four years. It’s her confession to him. I really feel for Daph. She waited for Mr. Lane for so many years, and now that his ex–wife has passed away, she has finally gotten what she wished for.”
In less than a day, the song had garnered over a million comments. However, none of them knew that Yvette had composed this song during the three years she had been married to Xavier–a time when she was suffering from severe depression.
It was a song she had written for Xavier after they got married, but she never got to let him hear it. Yet, now it had turned into a song Daphne had written for Xavier. How ridiculous..
Meanwhile, it was a busy day for Carnival Central Media, as the agency celebrated Daphne’s success.
