Chapter 55

“In other words, ‘Aspiration’ and ‘My Love’ were both works by Roschelle! I didn’t expect that Roschelle already had enough skill three years ago to create such perfect and amazing pieces. She really was a genius young pianist!”

“In summary, Roschelle didn’t plagiarize! Didn’t plagiarize! Didn’t plagiarize!”

After this post came out, Roschelle’s fans kept celebrating, saying Roschelle had totally turned things around!

No one expected that “Lindsey” was actually Roschelle. In the eyes of Roschelle’s fans, Roschelle slapped the rumor-mongers hard with her own strength.

This time, not only did Roschelle’s reputation not get damaged, but her popularity and influence actually went up!

She really was a badass female lead, no kidding!

After reading it, Alarieka almost stared a hole through her phone.

How did Roschelle dare?!

How did Roschelle dare to do that?!

No wonder Roschelle looked at her weird that night; she was actually waiting for her here!

Tamika was really startled by the gloomy look on Alarieka’s face.

“Alarieka, what were you looking at? Why did you look so pale?”

Alarieka suddenly shut off her phone and closed her eyes. Her breathing was uneven, and it felt like something heavy was pressing on her chest. She couldn’t breathe, and all the blood in her body felt frozen.

Tamika put her arm around her and said, “Alarieka, what happened?”

Alarieka slowly opened her eyes, her voice hoarse: “It’s nothing, I just got a question wrong. Mom, you go out first; I still need to keep working on the problems.”

Tamika walked out, half believing, half doubting.

Alarieka closed the door and turned her phone back on.

There was a lot more evidence later in the post proving Lindsey and Roschelle were the same person.

Like, Lindsey never showed up in public, Lindsey was the same age as Roschelle, and they were in the same city at the same time for a while.

For example, after Lindsey died, Roschelle just started to get known as a genius girl pianist. For example, Roschelle had liked Lindsey’s social media posts a few years ago, including when they wore the same clothes.

And Lindsey’s song “Aspiration” had already been on music platforms three years ago.

But up until now, there were only a few hundred plays; it wasn’t famous at all, so how did Roschelle pick this one out of so many unknown piano pieces?

That must have been known already.

The blogger also listed a lot of evidence, all clearly pointing to Roschelle and Lindsey being the same person.

That’s why Alarieka hated Roschelle even more.

Lindsey’s “Aspiration” wasn’t nearly famous enough, so how would Alarieka know this song?

That was because Lindsey was her piano teacher!

A few years ago, Tamika wanted to develop her hobbies, so she found her a teacher named Lindsey.

Very few people knew that Lindsey was her piano teacher, because Lindsey really wasn’t famous.

Lindsey was only five years older than her, had just graduated from college, couldn’t find a job, and could only do some part-time work.

The songs Lindsey made weren’t famous and hadn’t won any big awards, so Tamika just hired Lindsey for a pretty low price.

She spent over two years with Lindsey. In those two years, she met Lindsey countless times, said a lot of things, and did a lot of things.

They talked about almost everything, chatting about anything and everything.

They said we were teacher and student, but it was more like we were friends, or even soulmates.

Lindsey pretty much gave it her all and taught her everything she knew.

In the days that followed, because she never got what she wanted, Lindsey felt more and more down. Sometimes she even stood on the rooftop spacing out, and showed signs of severe depression with physical symptoms.

At that time, Alarieka got really scared and quietly slipped some money to Lindsey, hoping Lindsey would feel better.

After creating “Aspiration,” Lindsey took sleeping pills and killed herself late at night three years ago.

Hadn’t reached the hospital yet, already passed away.

That day, she almost cried all her tears out.

In the previous life, she hoped to play Lindsey’s last piece for everyone at the school anniversary.

It’s just that Roschelle didn’t give her the chance, messed up her performance, and she didn’t get to play “Aspiration” for everyone.

In this life, Roschelle got even worse.

I knew Lindsey was dead, so I shamelessly took on Lindsey’s identity without fear, and even had the nerve to claim to be the creator of “Aspiration.”

Alarieka’s eyes turned red, still caught up in the emotions from what happened, when a strange number called.

She calmed herself down and answered the phone.

That was a girl’s young voice, a bit hesitant: “Is it Alarieka?”

Alarieka’s voice was a bit hoarse: “Yeah, what’s up?”
