Chapter 224 The Truth

Ronin held up Sugar’s email, which displayed the report sent by the so- called “fan.” The young man’s eyes widened, almost popping out of his head. His stuttered, lips trembling, “How… How is this possible?”

Ronin sneered. “I was wondering which idiot sent my boss such a stupid message. So it was you who did it, you four-eyed loser! Are you saying that we’re pulling a plagiarism stunt on ourselves? How ridiculous!”

With Grayson as a witness and the email as physical evidence, there was no doubt that Catherine was the legendary music composer, Sugar.

As people marveled at Catherine’s identity, they were even more astonished by her talent and youth. They couldn’t believe someone so young could create such exceptional music.

A curious journalist stepped forward and asked, “Catherine, why didn’t you admit it when everyone was questioning you earlier?”

Catherine looked disdainfully at the journalist, exuding an air of dominance. “Who are you? Why should I answer your questions?”

Her response left the journalist dumbfounded, and the surrounding crowd fell silent. Now that Catherine’s identity was confirmed, no one dared to question her abilities anymore. Her arrogance seemed justified.

The young man who had exposed Catherine earlier planned to slip unnoticed while everyone was distracted. But as he turned around, he found himself flanked by two imposing men. The two men glared at the young man with sinister smiles, causing his legs to go weak.

“What… What do you want?” he stammered. Triston abruptly reached out and pushed him in front of the crowd.

The young man stumbled, fell to the ground, and then struggled to get back up in a disheveled state. However, it was too late. The media had captured the entire scene, and he could not escape.

Triston surveyed the young man on the ground and, under Branden’s guidance, revealed the information they had just uncovered.

“Look, I have a record of a bank transfer in my hands. This young man suddenly received a large sum of money and an email. The email happens to be a clip of the viral video from Twitter earlier. I know coincidences happen daily, but when there are too many of them, it becomes suspicious.”

Triston provided the background, while Aidan tried to pique everybody’s curiosity, their teamwork seamless.

“Don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence, guys?”

Everyone nodded in agreement. There were no fools present, and with that statement, they understood what was going on.

Realizing that he had been exposed, the young man panicked. Triston, Aidan, Ronin, and Bryan, four tall and imposing men, surrounded him, their eyes filled with menace.

The young man in the middle was so terrified that he nearly wet himself. Any one of these four could easily crush him. In this situation, he was indeed doomed. The young man held his head in agony.

“Please, stop treating me like this. I confess!” Just as it seemed that everything was about to be revealed, suddenly… Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Hold on!”

Another unexpected figure appeared. Could there be another plot twist? Excitement filled the air as everyone turned to see Nash walking calmly toward them, his face serious.

“You don’t need to pressure him anymore. I was the one who instructed him to do this!”

He admitted it so suddenly, leaving everyone in astonishment. The principal looked at Nash in disbelief. “Why? Nash, you have always been well-behaved and academically excellent. Why would you do something so foolish today?”

Nash came from a privileged background, and he had the capability to carry out such an act. However, no one knew the reasons. Facing the principal’s questioning, Nash remained calm..

“Sir, as you said, I strive for excellence and serve as an example to many in the school. But because of Catherine, I am now being labeled a corrupt person. Even my position as the president of the Student Union has been revoked. Can you blame me for hating Catherine? I accidentally discovered that Catherine’s compositions were similar to Sugar’s. I thought she was plagiarizing. In my opinion, a despicable person like her doesn’t have the right to accuse me! I couldn’t accept it, so I devised this plan.”

However, no one expected that Catherine was Sugar, so Nash’s scheme fell apart. There were consequences for his actions. The principal could only look at Nash regretfully and inform him to await the school’s punishment.

Catherine glanced at Branden, and they shared an unspoken understanding. They knew the real culprit, but there was no need to expose her.

Nash had taken the blame for everything, destroying all the evidence. It wouldn’t be easy to uncover the mastermind behind it all.

Catherine was tired and didn’t feel like arguing anymore. At the same time, she felt some sympathy for Nash. She didn’t expect him to have the guts to take all the blame in front of so many people.

As long as the previous incident with the Student Union was kept under wraps, the Wales had the power to avoid any harm. But this time was different. It was a public confrontation in front of everyone. After Nash admitted his actions, his future was ruined.

Catherine looked toward Liana, who was crouched in a corner, completely focused on Nash. Perhaps sensing Catherine’s gaze, Liana turned her head, and their eyes met.

Liana’s gaze was intense, as if she wanted to devour Catherine. There was no expected remorse or fear in it.  Catherine thought Nash was a fool, completely manipulated by Liana.

If it weren’t for her grandfather’s dying request, Catherine might have taught Liana a lesson, completely getting rid of her trouble-making sister and bringing some peace to her life.

Catherine found the constant disturbances annoying. Because of the revelation of Sugar’s identity, Catherine became the center of attention for everyone. The media never expected to get such an amazing scoop at a school celebration gala.

Each of them wanted to interview Catherine, hoping to dig up the latest gossip from her. The tall man standing beside Catherine turned around and draped his suit jacket over her shoulders, firmly holding her hand.

He pulled Catherine forward, and the media, who were initially swarming around her, spontaneously split into two groups, creating a clear path. No one dared to stop them. After all, this man was known as the Grim Reaper.

Nobody dared to step forward because offending Branden would result in very severe consequences.

After Branden led Catherine away, Paxton stepped forward and faced the reporters, saying only one sentence. Mr. Duncan doesn’t want to see her name on social media. Please stop interviewing!”

This would be a great news story, but they couldn’t report it! The reporters who were cheering just a moment ago now felt like crying.

However, no one dared to argue with Paxton, the current spokesperson for the Duncans. He had made it clear that it was Branden’s decision. Who would dare to stir up trouble?
