Chapter 174

Revisa insisted that Noelle slandered her reputation and that she was the creator of "The Shadows."

However, Noelle’s entertainment company, Radiance Media, released a recording of a call. The recording was between a dealer asking Reyna for money, and the core of the inquiry was about the price of the song "The Shadows."

The guy’s name was Troy. He wasn’t satisfied with the price, so he called Reyna, asking for more money.

Reyna had an argument with Troy. From her tone, it could be seen that she acknowledged that "The Shadows" was bought by her. She did not give Troy money because she was afraid of being extorted again.

The recording immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. The netizens discussed fervently.

"Oh my god. 'The Shadows' was really bought by Reyna!"

"It must be fake! I’m not anyone’s fan, but this recording is extremely fake. It must have been edited by Radiance Media! The idiots on the Internet really believed it!"

"Wow. Someone’s fans are lying now. Isn’t this Reyna’s voice? How do you know it’s edited? Have you confirmed?"

"Over the years, Reyna has gotten countless profits and fame with 'The Shadows'. She has no other songs of this level. And people have always been talking about her buying songs in her early years."

"What a surprise! Reyna is the one guilty!"

Seeing the comments online, Reyna was so angry that she smashed her phone on the ground. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was so angry that her face became hateful. She gritted her teeth and said, “Troy! How dare you betray me!”

At this moment, her phone on the floor rang. Reyna looked at the caller ID. It was Marshall. Her face stiffened, and she immediately walked over to pick up the phone on the ground. “Hello, Marshall.”

“Reyna, did you hear the recording online! Didn’t you write 'The Shadows'?” Marshall’s tone was stern.

Reyna felt guilty and anxious. She quickly said, “Marshall, it is fake! Radiance Media is slandering me!”

“Are you sure?” Marshall didn’t quite trust Reyna’s words. He said in a low voice, “Tell me the truth. Did you write 'The Shadows'!”

“I…” Reyna stuttered. She felt if she admitted it, Marshall would never talk to her again. By then, she would lose everything.

Therefore, Reyna gritted her teeth and said, “I wrote it. I was slandered!”

“Okay,” Marshall said, “That’s all I need to hear from you. Radiance Media is going too far. How dare they frame you? Don’t worry, you have the entire Sawyer Group behind you. I won’t let go of anyone who makes things difficult for you.”

Although Lighting Media was not as large as Radiance Media, it had the support of the Sawyer Group. Marshall decided he would make Radiance Media pay for what they had done.

When Reyna heard Marshall’s domineering declaration, she felt extremely bitter in her heart. If only Marshall could be so protective of her in the past. However, the more he was like this now, the more guilty Reyna would feel.

"The Shadows" was not written by her after all. If this matter was verified, she wouldn’t need to leave the entertainment industry herself; Marshall would make her suffer.

Lighting Media soon began to fight back, claiming that the recording was fabricated, and intended to sue Radiance Media for defamation and compensate for all economic losses.

The recording was verified by an appraisal agency and confirmed that there were no signs of tampering or splicing.

This was undoubtedly another slap to Reyna’s face.

Chapter 174

At the same time, Troy posted all the transaction records of him and Reyna back then, which was a very fatal blow to Reyna.

Reyna had just announced that she didn’t know Troy. Now, in front of the evidence Troy had posted, there was no room for denying.

For a moment, everyone online started criticizing Reyna. Many people began posting articles to testify that Reyna was not the creator of "The Shadows." Some professional doctors pointed out that Reyna’s various performances showed no signs of depression.

Reyna’s reputation hit rock bottom again.

At the same time, Troy confirmed that Noelle was the person who sold the song to him back then. He even found the transaction amount of 4.5 thousand dollars.

The news went viral online. It was said that Noelle had been scammed badly. After all, Reyna earned a lot of money with “The Shadows” every year.

Radiance Media also seized the opportunity and quickly arranged for reporters to interview Noelle. Their main goal was for Noelle to share how she had created The Shadows.

Noelle told the truth, explaining how some melodies were born and sharing the various details behind the song’s creation. Her insights into the song were quite profound, which only strengthened the trust of netizens even further.

From Reyna’s initial plan to sue Noelle, to the reversal of the situation, and ultimately her reputation plummeting from its pedestal, everything unfolded just as Nicolas had predicted. And all of this happened within a single week.

Then came the Reyna sanctions. While Reyna was speaking with Troy, Noelle discreetly eavesdropped. At the same time, she hacked into Reyna’s phone, uncovering all the secrets hidden within.

Once these secrets were exposed by “anonymous sources," each piece of evidence was undeniable. One after another, the revelations mounted, becoming the final blow that sealed Reyna’s fate and made any chance of a comeback impossible.

Lighting Media’s shares fell sharply, affecting the Sawyer Group behind it. Marshall, the oldest son of the Sawyer family, was speechless.

A few days ago, he was still thinking about how to attack Radiance Media and profit from it. He even had the intention to annex Radiance Media.

However, before he could react, Reyna’s reputation was completely ruined. Moreover, the series of scandals surrounding Reyna caused Lighting Media’s stock to plummet. As a result, the entire Sawyer Group saw its shares drop significantly. Amidst this, a mysterious entity began buying up Sawyer Group shares, clearly with ulterior motives.

“What the hell is going on?” Marshall looked at the falling stocks and gritted his teeth in anger. He thought, “This has got to be a trap! Their target is not Reyna, but the Sawyer Group. But who the hell are they? Who could do that?”

Leia never expected that the once unbeatable and exalted pop star Reyna would fall from grace and be ruined, just as Nicolas said. But on the surface, Lighting Media and Radiance Media had always been at odds. “Could it be that Nicolas and Radiance Media were somehow connected?"

The thought that Radiance Media’s behind-the-scenes boss might be Nicolas sent a wave of excitement through Leia.

Nicolas, the third son of the Sawyer family, always overlooked, actually had such a powerful background. If she married him, she could one day trample on all those who had looked down on her.

Just imagining that future made her desperate to meet Nicolas again. She quickly took out her phone and wanted to call Nicolas. But the line was busy.

“Weird,” Leia looked at her phone and was puzzled. “Is Nicolas so busy!” She then told herself it was normal. After all, Nicolas might be the big boss of Radiance Media.

Just as she was walking towards the school gate, she suddenly saw a car parked at the school gate. Leia looked at it and realized that it was Nicolas’s Maybach.

“He came to school? Is it for me?” Leia was overjoyed, and her eyes lit up. She quickly walked forward and prepared to greet Nicolas.

But suddenly, she heard a girl’s happy greeting from behind. “Nick!”
