Betrayed by blood, Avenged by talent 15

Chapter 15 

He said that although I could not sing myself now, my creative talent is enough for me to gain a foothold in the music industry. 

As for Eugenia, without me as the source of her plagiarism inspiration, she became just like everyone else in just half a year. 

A year later, I released a new song called “Metamorphosis,” sung by a female singer under the company who had a voice similar to mine. 

This song encompasses my mental journey over the years, from anger to self–doubt and then back to myself, transformation and growth. 

Once it was released, it climbed to the top of the hot song charts in just three days. 

The audience gave it high praise, saying that not only was the melody of this song inspiring, but the lyrics were also heart–stirring. 

After they checked, they found out that both the music and the lyrics were composed by me, Janette. 

Everyone was shocked. 

They continued to dig and found that I had left Deon’s company long ago and had no contact with the Hendrix Family anymore. 

No secret could remain completely hidden. Someone uncovered what happened on the cruise ship a year ago, on my 20th birthday. 

One of the men Eugenia hired got drunk and spilled everything–the same man Deon had paid off. 

With the money, he suddenly became a nouveau riche, moved his family to the city center and partied every night. 

At the bar, he proudly told his experiences of how he got rich quickly and was exposed by someone with ulterior motives. 

At that time, the Hendrix Group and my parents, who were superstars, were besieged by 

the media. 

At their questioning, my parents awkwardly said that they respected my wishes. 

Eugenia became a target of ridicule, with people mocking her for being in such a pathetic state, like a pheasant desperately trying to pose as a phoenix. 

No matter what, it could never overshadow me, the real phoenix. 

Eugenia made a fuss and forced my father to fulfill his promise to her, the one that he would write a song and sing it with her to overshadow me at the awards ceremony. 

But my father was unwilling and she broke the last layer of window paper. 

She said that if my father did not agree, she would tell everyone that they and my brother had hired someone to cripple me.

The whole family was shocked and they realized that she had eavesdropped on their conversation and had just recorded it. 

As a last resort, my father could only compose a song for her. 

On the night of the awards ceremony, when my father and Eugenia were singing together, Eugenia wanted to deliberately show the deep love between father and daughter to stimulate me, so she reached out to pull him. 

As a result, my father was very ruthless and avoided her with a stern face. 

Reporters were gossiping that Eugenia, the adopted daughter, had fallen out of favor. 

Then, after my song was sung, it received even higher praise. Someone carefully discovered that my new song was similar to the one that Eugenia said she plagiarized last 

year. 

Everyone questioned Eugenia’s creative ability at the time. I stood on the podium and finally told the truth.
