Rebirth Top Star Actress novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149

“My hit songs weren’t written by Bianca; they were actually composed by Emily, I just found out I’m trending online, so I asked Blanca about it, and she finally came clean.”

Chase’s voice was heavy with disappointment..

He couldn’t remember when it started, but Bianca had become more secretive, and he found it hard to read her intentions..

Why did she take credit for Emily’s work?

“I asked Bianca too, but her explanation was weak. Right now, we need to deal with the online backlash and the plagiarism accusations. I don’t have the energy to dig into everything else.”

Chase’s words were filled with exhaustion.

Aiden could sense Chase’s fatigue and decided not to push further.

Chase’s manager had spent money to reduce the online heat.

But someone wanted to inform Emily, guessing she would be interested, and naturally, they told her about it.

“Chase deserves this mess for what he did to you. He’s caught in a plagiarism scandal, and I bet he couldn’t write such great songs himself.”

Sophia was the first to complain.

She couldn’t stand Bianca, and by extension, anyone from the Johnson family who sided with her. Being an avid surfer, she saw the trending topic online and immediately shared it with Emily.

Emily had almost forgotten about this incident.

In her past life, Chase had also been embroiled in a plagiarism scandal and was subsequently bombarded with online abuse.

It was then that Chase discovered the songs were written by Emily. Instead of showing gratitude, he immediately questioned Emily, accusing her of plagiarism.

In her past life, Emily had worked tirelessly to clear Chase’s name. She investigated the mastermind behind the accusations, hacked the opponent’s account, and hired online supporters.

She eventually found evidence of her involvement in composing the songs, including the timestamps of her work, and compared them with the “evidence” presented by the accuser.

This was how she cleared Chase’s name and saved him from facing massive compensation claims.

Now, Chase was probably overwhelmed.

But she wondered if Bianca would, like in the past, say nice things while shifting all the blame onto her.

“Don’t be surprised. The songs weren’t plagiarized by Chase because I composed them.”

Emily didn’t hide the truth and spoke directly.

Sophia was shocked and then let out a scream, “What… Ms. Johnson, you’re amazing! How can you be so talented? You seem to have no weaknesses. I’m so envious!”

Emily chuckled, “It was just a coincidence, I discovered I could make money from it, and it only took a few minutes, so I did it.”

“Such a simple reason!”

Sophia was quite moved.

“What simple reason? Who are you talking to?”

A man’s voice suddenly came from Sophia’s side.

Emily found the voice familiar, “Is that Byron? You two, don’t tell me…”

Sophia detected the hint of ambiguity in Emily’s words and quickly explained, “No, Ms. Johnson, don’t misunderstand. There’s no way I’d be interested in Byron.”

“What, am I that bad? You don’t like me, and I don’t like you either. You’re always so aggressive. If I were to like someone, it would be someone like Ms. Johnson, strong and confident!”

“I thought you liked someone like Bianca, that bitch!” Sophia deliberately mocked.

This was Byron’s dark history, and he immediately retorted.

Emily heard Byron say he liked her type.

Her first thought was the same as Sophia’s!

“Like me? Well, I don’t like someone like you.”

Emily teased over the phone.

Byron heard Emily’s words, “Ms. Johnson, where are you now? When can we race again?”

Byron switched from his usual banter with Sophia to a more enthusiastic tone.

“No time! I’m busy!” Emily replied.

Byron felt a bit disappointed. He thought Emily seemed to dislike him, so he quickly pledged his loyalty, “Ms. Johnson, I’ve turned over a new leaf. I don’t like someone like Bianca anymore. Don’t listen to Sophia’s nonsense. But Ms. Johnson, if you don’t like someone like me, what kind of person do you like? Don’t tell me it’s someone like James?”

He wanted to say that, as a man, he understood men best.

James wasn’t worthy of Emily’s affection.

If he truly liked someone, he would he devoted and wouldn’t share his heart with another woman.

Emily’s mind flashed to Daniel’s handsome face.

But when James was mentioned, her tone turned cold.

Someone like James? I wouldn’t even glance at him now. Don’t worry, I’m not blind anymore.”

What’s wrong with your eyes? How do you feel?”

At that moment, Daniel arrived with lunch and overheard Emily talking about her eyes, his tone gentle and concerned.

“Ms. Johnson, what’s going on? Do you, have a boyfriend now? Who is it? Do we know him?”

Daniel’s voice carried through the phone, and Byron, with his sharp ears, heard it. But given his status, he had no chance to interact closely with Daniel and couldn’t recognize his voice.

Byron only knew that Emily was now with a man.

He was worried that this man would take away the little attention Emily had for him and immediately shouted.

Daniel also heard the boyfriend comment.

His gaze was clear yet focused on Emily, seemingly waiting for her answer.

Emily didn’t know why, but being stared at by him made her heart race, and her ears turned red.

“It’s nothing. I’m hanging up now!”

Faced with the choice of answering or not, Emily opted to avoid the question and quickly hung up the phone.

But to Byron, this confirmed that Emily had indeed fallen in love again and couldn’t wait to be lovey-dovey with her boyfriend.

“…If I find out who managed to win Ms. Johnson’s heart, I’ll have to interrogate him thoroughly to see if he’s worthy of her.”

Byron couldn’t help but shout.

Sophia, who had moved a bit away, didn’t hear this part. She heard Byron’s random comment and couldn’t help but ask, “Which man caught Ms. Johnson’s eye?”

Byron rolled his eyes, “If I knew, would I be complaining?”

Emily had no idea about Byron’s complaints.
