Chapter 200


    Jasmine snickered, giving Ynda a dismissive nce. “You got it all wrong, girl! If you don’t believe


    me, ask everyone else here what they thought of the climax. Anyone cares to share?” Jasmine said.


    The host broke the silence first. “All I heard was intense sorrow, like being engulfed by an


    overwhelming tidal wave of grief. After what felt like forever, a ray of sunlight broke through and


    suddenly, and I felt this pull, like a force telling me to keep going.”

    Some audience members stood up and the host handed them the mic.


    “I heard courage and strength breaking free from sorrow.”


    “The image that came to my mind was the earthquake reported in the newsst year.”


    “Same here. Last year’s earthquake in H city caused countless deaths and injuries. The scene of the


    quake just rushed into my mind when I heard the climax.” “I also thought of natural and man–made


    disasters!”


    Jasmine watched as Ynda’s face gradually paled. She smirked, “Exactly! Last year’s earthquake in


    H city left countless people homeless. The survivors were in deep anguish, unable to escape their


    sorrow. Melody wrote ‘Wish‘ aiming tofort them with the power of music and help them move on!”


    Ynda didn’t understand music, and her tutor was no expert either, so what they heard was entirely


    superficial. They knew the climax was sad, but they didn’t realize that beneath the sorrow was a force


    pulling the survivors to keep going.


    “Why am I so sure Melody wrote ‘Wish‘? Because this March, with–my–help, her song was included in


    the music textbooks. The new textbooks have been printed and everyone can see Melody’s work in


    September! This hasn’t been announced before!” Jasmine said.


    Everyone was stunned, they didn’t expect this. Even Ynda was bbergasted. She couldn’t believe


    it.


    “Melody’s original version sounds much better than your version! I bet you copied Melody’s climax, but


    you were afraid people would find out, so you wrote the rest yourself. But you couldn’t reach that


    level, hence the song sounded so weird!” Jasmine said, “At first, I didn’t notice anything and even


    thought it was a bit off! But when the climax kicked in, it struck me as familiar! If it wasn’t because of


    the climax, the judges wouldn’t have let you advance. Your song is mediocre at best. You wouldn’t even


    make it to the top 20, let alone second! You copied Melody’s work and refused to admit it. You don’t


    deserve this award! You don’t belong in this field! As a representative of the Piano Association, I reject


    your membership!”


    After Jasmine’s words, everyone was beyond shocked. To think Ynda, at such a young age, would


    dare to giarize a senior’s work. Not only did she refuse to admit it, she even tried to smear Jasmine


    to divert attention.


    Ynda’s face turned ashen, she could barely stand. Being publicly sentenced by the president of the


    Piano Association that she could never be a pianist was worse than death!
