Chapter 38
Public opinion got worse and affected the streaming of the new song. Hanzel realized how serious the i
ssue was and went to Waldorf Enterprises to discuss a resolution with Pearl,
Pearl was discussing the company’s upcoming project with
Richard in his office. The news Hanzel brought made her raise her
brows.
“They’re saying I copied Nancie?” Pearl failed to suppress her laughter.
Her light–hearted response baffled Hanzel. “This is serious, Pearl”
Pearl’s indifferent response gave Richard a bold idea but he kept quiet and watched Pearl thoughtfully,
waiting for her next
move.
Pearl flashed Hanzel a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle it. Your new song won’t be affected.”
“Okay.” Seeing her being so calm, Hanzel decided to trust her.
At that moment, Abby knocked on the door of the office. When she saw them, she asked, “I heard som

Pearl glanced at Abby but gave no reply.

Pearl rejected, “I won’t apologize.”

“Calm down. I won’t burden him.”
“How are you going to resolve this then? You can’t change the fact that you copied Nancie ”
Pearl’s interest was piqued. “What if I told you I had a way?”
Abby did not believe Pearl. Her investigation showed that Nancie had disappeared from the public eye.
It was impossible that Pearl was Narcle. Pearl was a top student who had studied abroad. She would h
ave been too busy to join the entertainment industry. It was a ridiculous thought.
“Do you have a better plan? Are you going to claim that you’re Nancie? Who would believe you?” Abby
questioned incredulously as she stared at Pearl.
“I am Nance,” Pearl said.
Hanzel was thunderstruck by her statement. He wondered if she was really the singer he admired deepl
Richard was shocked too.
Shaking her head and sighing, Abby said, “Stop being stubborn, Pearl. You’ll be doomed if you keep lyin
Pearl stopped arguing with Abby and logged into a second social media account that had millions of fan
posted a new statement after a year.
The brief statement knocked everyone off their feet.
