Chapter 173

Soon, Reyna implemented a series of measures against Noelle.

In order to suppress "The Legend" group that had taken over her fan market and completely dispel the doubts about her being the creator of "The Shadows" on the Internet, Reyna publicly had her studio post a lawyer’s letter on her official account.

In it, she specifically mentioned that Noelle had "maliciously" slandered her reputation. She also criticized Noelle’s slander and elevated it to the level of conspiracy. At the same time, she posted evidence that she had been "depressed" recently.

For a moment, there were all sorts of reviews of Noelle on the Internet.

"First of all, I am not anyone’s fan. But I feel so sorry for Reyna, Noelle is such a bitch. What made her think she could bully Reyna? Reyna must have been too nice."

"I am so sorry for Reyna. Everyone wants to bully her. Who is Noelle? I've never heard of her before."

"There have been rumors circulating that Reyna’s representative work, The Shadows, was not written by her. I believe Noelle might have hired someone to deliberately defame Reyna."

"Fuck! This is too much! Noelle should get out of the entertainment industry!"

"Noelle should mind her own fucking business and leave Reyna alone."

There were also people who loved Noelle because they liked "The Legend."

Some netizens could not help but defend her when they saw the comments of the haters.

"What does this lawyer’s letter mean? Why haven’t I heard of Noelle promoting herself as the creator of The Shadows?"

"The Legend is famous, as their teacher, Noelle’s status is already very high. Why should they try to defame Reyna?"

"I think it’s obvious that Reyna saw her popularity dropping, and then saw The Legend becoming popular, so she’s deliberately trying to stir up drama, right?"

"That’s possible. Maybe it is Reyna who is trying to scam Noelle, not the other way around."

"I think Noelle might be the creator of The Shadows. This time, the songs of The Legend are not worse than The Shadows. Noelle wrote seven or eight songs in one go. What about Reyna? Other than The Shadows, does she have any other classic works!"

Both sides held their ground, and neither could sway the other.

For a moment, the internet was in an uproar.

The school was in an uproar over the trending topic, with Noelle’s classmates reacting the most intensely.

After Reyna’s lawyer’s letter, the students immediately surrounded Noelle.

"Noelle, have you read the lawyer’s letter! Reyna is preparing to sue you!"

"Oh no. I remember you said you were the creator of The Shadows. Now you’re a public figure. If she wants to sue, there’s an 80% chance she'll win!"

"Noelle, do you want to apologize?"

"Oh no. Will this affect The Legend?"

"Forget about The Legend, can't you care about Noelle now?"

"I'm concerned about Noelle. Does that conflict with caring about the future development of The Legend?"

Noelle cupped her cheeks with her small hands, glancing at the students who were arguing around her.

She looked calm and did not panic at all. She said, "Why should I apologize? I am the creator of The Shadows."

The noisy crowd instantly fell into silence when they heard this.

Then, someone couldn’t help but exclaim, "Fuck! Noelle, you’re really amazing! You’re still being stubborn at this time!"

"Noelle, don’t be stubborn. You are a public figure now. If word gets out, you’ll have to take responsibility!"

"That's right!"

Noelle looked at them and continued, "I am not being stubborn, alright? I’m the creator of The Shadows. Reyna is the thief."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

They were all thinking, 'Oh my god, could Noelle really be the creator of The Shadows?'

"Are you kidding me? When was The Shadows released! How old was Noelle at that time? How could she compose such a classic song in her teens!"

"So Noelle is trying to show off?"

"Most likely, yes."

After a round of "in-group communication," everyone only smiled awkwardly at Noelle, indicating that it was fine as long as she was happy.

Lela silently looked at Noelle and sneered.

Nicolas said that she could get rid of Reyna in two weeks. If Reyna helped her get rid of Noelle before that, it would be the best of both worlds.

'Noelle, keep being stubborn. I’ll wait for your reputation to be ruined,' Leia thought.

Harley was also quite worried about Noelle, although they parted on bad terms last time.

After everyone dispersed, Harley looked at Noelle and asked in a low voice, "Noelle, is it really okay?"

Upon hearing this, Noelle turned around and gave Harley a bright smile. She made an OK gesture and said, "No problem at all, Harley. Don't worry."

She now looked cheered up.

Harley’s heart skipped a beat.

He looked at her in a daze. After a few seconds, he asked softly, "Noelle, are you alright?"

"Yes?" Noelle did not understand why he asked that.

She blinked and asked, "Does it look like I am not okay?"

Harley was speechless.

For the past few days, Noelle had been depressed. He was worried, so he asked her what was wrong. Harley had had a bad time during the weekend too, partly because Noelle didn’t trust him, and also because he was worried about her.

But when they met again on Monday, she seemed to be fine.

At the thought of this, Harley was quite happy for Noelle.

He hoped she could be happy forever. However, apart from being happy, Harley was also a little disappointed. ‘Indeed. She is fine even without me. Maybe I am unimportant for her.’

Harley never thought that he would be troubled by these things.

The corners of his mouth twitched when he saw the curious and confused look in Noelle’s eyes. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, it’s nothing. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. Let me treat you to lunch, to celebrate you feeling better again."

However, Noelle shook her head.

She smiled at Harley and said, "No need, no need. Harley, let me pay the bill today! You’ve always been the one paying. This time, it’s on me."

Nick said that "reciprocity" was also a part of interpersonal relationships.

"Haha, alright," Harley smiled.

It didn't matter who paid. He just wanted to stay with Noelle.

At noon, Noelle and Harley went in alone.

She never used social media, so the discussions online did not affect her.

On the third day, however, when Reyna was about to formally sue Noelle, things changed.
