Chapter 149
“Yvie, please don’t start a scene on stage. Just make a public apology.”
Yvette remained unfazed by Yasmin’s arrogant behavior. Fixing a wintry gaze on Yasmin, she uttered, “Get lost.”
“Yvie…” Tears brimming in Yasmin’s eyes. She looked like she had been bullied. Her expression earned her public sympathy.
“She has no right to kick Yasmin off the stage. She and President Thompson should be the ones who get kicked out!” “They w
went too far. We
e need to get those two kicked out.”
Yvette promptly ignored the useless chatter below the stage. She slowly sat by the piano, and her slender fingers danced on the keys.
She had been playing plano absentmindedly. This time, she put on a serious face. The light that illuminated her face elevated her ethereal beauty.
One second ago, the audience had been criticizing her, but now, they gaped at her in astonishment.
The melody that flowed from her fingers sounded heavenly. With her technique, she breezily topped Yasmin’s performance.
Her unparalleled piano playing was proof of her identity as Maestro Rachmaninoff.
“I can’t believe she’s really Maestro Rachmaninoff!
The audience hung their heads in shame when they recalled the remarks they had just made about Yvette.
At the same time, Yara and Irwin seemed taken aback. They couldn’t wrap their heads around the fact that their precious daughter was the renowned pianist, Mischa Rachmaninoff.
That explained why Yvette turned down their offer to hire a piano teacher for her. No one else was qualified to teach her how to play!
Meanwhile, Ashton immersed himself in her lovely performance. His heart was filled with shock and swelled with pride.
Was Yvie Mischa Rachmaninoff? He couldn’t help but admire his talented sister.
The audience marveled at Yvette’s presence and relished in her music. Only Yasmin sat there with a pale face. She refused to believe that Yvette, the country bumpkin, was Mischa Rachmaninoff!
The audience burst into thunderous applause at the end of Yvette’s performance. People began to look at Yvette with respect, which further upset Yasmin.
“The music industry doesn’t need a member with questionable ethics–a plagiarist. Yasmin Murray, you are officially blacklisted!
“You’re not only barred from joining the Pianists Association, but you will never be able to perform as a pianist!” Gabriel announced loudly, staring disdainfully at Yasmin.
Yvette’s distaste for the problematic Yasmin was totally understandable. A person who plagiarized deserved to be blacklisted and canceled for good!
Yasmin’s face scrunched up when she heard the decision. She knew full well that she shouldn’t admit to plagiarism or her career would be done for.
She snapped, “So what if Yvette Murray is Mischa Rachmaninoff? How can she prove she came up with the song before I did? Speaking of which, I now suspect her of plagiarizing my creation instead!”
Gabriel sniggered in disbelief. Yasmin must’ve been the most shameless person he had come across in his life. Moreover, she had no remorse; she tried to accuse Yvette of plagiarism!
“How dare you accuse Mischa of plagiarizing your song when your skills are wanting?” Gabriel hurled a caustic insult at Yasmin, who looked
more miffed
Despite that, she stubbornly argued, “President Thompson, say whatever you want, but I’ll only accept your accusation if you have evidence of Mischa Rachmaninoff composing this song before I did. If not, I won’t accept the heavy accusation of plagiarism!
Believing, that Yvette had no concrete evidence, Yasmin thought she could remain unscathed if she refused to admit to plagiarism.
