Chapter 223 A Stupid Fraud
Facing the reporters’ questions, Liana looked troubled. She had been speaking on behalf of Catherine,
but her demeanor revealed some new information.
“Don’t blame my sister. It’s probably just a misunderstanding. She just came back from the countryside.
She may not know the rules. She thought that by adapting it, it would be her work. But her singing
voice is good, isn’t it? She has never learned music before, so being able to sing so well is already very
impressive. The celebration gala is just an artistic competition, not a creative one, right?”
While insisting on preserving Catherine’s champion title, she inadvertently confirmed the accusation
that Catherine plagiarized Sugar’s work. The young man who exposed Catherine earlier suddenly
became arrogant again.
“Hmph, so she hasn’t even learned music before, huh? Then how dare she say she is Sugar? Can’t
believe she’s such a shameless person!”
Catherine leaned to the side as if watching a show. She felt that if this performance were brought on
stage as a group act, this young man and Liana would become the champions today. They indeed had
exquisite acting skills!
When Catherine stood to the side, Branden approached her. Catherine naturally leaned against him,
treating Branden as a pillar.
The people present couldn’t believe their eyes! They all knew Branden’s supreme identity, yet
Catherine treated him so casually.
Liana also noticed, her eyes glaring blood red. She couldn’t understand why Catherine had won the
favor of Branden. Her jealousy was driving her mad.

These reporters were all astute individuals. Seeing the connection between Catherine and Branden,
they dared not ask any more questions.
“Catherine, I suggest you explain whether or not you plagiarized Sugar!”
“That’s right. If you didn’t do it, show us the evidence!”
Some people didn’t dare to speak loudly, only whispering, “What evidence do we need? Isn’t it
obvious? She copied someone else’s work. She can’t be Sugar, can she?”
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from behind, diverting everyone’s attention.
“Why can’t she be Sugar?”
Everyone turned around, and someone exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s Peerless Grayson! It’s Peerless Grayson!”
“Oh my god, Grayson…”
Nobody expected Grayson to show up in person, especially at this time. The crowd on both sides
voluntarily parted, creating a path for Grayson to approach Catherine effortlessly.
Grayson flashed his signature charming smile, his eyes filled with gentleness as he gazed deeply at
Catherine.
“Sorry, Boss, filming delayed me, so I couldn’t see your brilliant performance. Congratulations on
winning the championship.”
Catherine nodded lightly. On the other hand, Branden paid even more attention to Grayson than
Catherine did. His icy gaze carefully assessed Grayson, his expression unpleasant.
That look startled Grayson. He originally wanted to see which audacious man dared to stand beside
Catherine. But when he looked up, he was immediately intimidated by Branden’s gaze.
It was such an intimidating gaze. No wonder he was qualified to stand beside Catherine. He looked
truly extraordinary.
Grayson’s appearance changed the atmosphere of the scene. The reporters thrusted their
microphones in front of Grayson. ” Peerless Grayson, is it true that Catherine is Sugar?”
“Do I have any reason to lie?” Grayson replied calmly, his face full of confidence. “I’m the only one in
the entire entertainment industry who has seen Sugar in person.”
The scene erupted in uproar. No one had expected such a plot twist. Catherine turned out to be the
musical genius Sugar. It was truly astonishing.
Liana couldn’t believe her ears as she looked at Catherine. “This country bumpkin…” she thought in
disbelief.” How could she possibly be Sugar? It’s absolutely impossible!”
She immediately approached the young man, ignoring the surrounding gazes, and muttered
something. Instantly, the young man’s expression changed. He glared at Grayson, his eyes filled with
murderous intent.
“Peerless Grayson, I am so disappointed in you. I always thought you were Sugar’s good friend,
someone she trusted deeply. But I never expected vou to help a plagiarist iust to clear her name. Do
you think no one has ever seen Sugar before? Do you think no one can expose your lies? You’re
wrong! I have evidence that she is not Sugar!”
The young man’s words plunged the situation into further confusion. Everyone’s attention shifted back
to him, demanding to know what evidence he had.
Grayson glanced at Catherine, silently asking her what was going on. Catherine raised an eyebrow,
signaling him not to act impulsively.
Seeing her calm and composed, Grayson relaxed. After all, she would never be defeated by such a
trivial matter. Under the scrutiny of the crowd, the young man took out his phone and displayed it for
everyone to see.
“Look, here’s an email sent to Sugar by a fan detailing Catherine’s plagiarism. And there’s a reply from
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSugar, stating that she will defend her rights with the law. Does Sugar not recognize herself?”
His statement was true. The email even had pictures of Catherine’s team, presumably taken during the
preliminary rounds. If Catherine was Sugar, she couldn’t possibly not recognize herself.
Now, all eyes were once again on Catherine. People wanted to see if she had any defense now that
the evidence seemed irrefutable.
Faced with the multiple pieces of evidence presented, Catherine realized one thing-the other party had
come prepared. His evidence was well-prepared, and if it were someone else, they would have been
caught off guard.
Unfortunately, she was Catherine Swann!
These cunning people were destined to lose! Ronin, who had been silent for a while, suddenly burst
out and shouted at the young man, “You four-eyed loser! Not only are you stupid, but you’re also a
fraud. You’re truly shameless.”
The young man, being scolded, became very angry. If it weren’t for Ronin’s strong presence, he would
have rushed over and started a fight. But now he had the upper hand and could sarcastically taunt
Ronin.
“What’s wrong? Can’t believe it when you know your boss has done something disgusting? Even if you
scold me, she must admit she is a plagiarist!”
“Bullshit!” After cursing, Ronin turned to Catherine. “Boss, I can’t stand it anymore!”
Catherine glanced at him, bored. “Then go ahead!” Given permission, Ronin was like a person who had
taken an adrenaline shot, instantly becoming excited.
“Nice!”
Ronin waved the tablet he had just retrieved backstage before the young man.
“Use your four eyes to take a good look at what this is, you little punk!”
