Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 997

Inside the study at Azure Bay Villa, Andres, who hadn't paid any attention to the drama, only learned from Hans that his wife had been caught in a plagiarism scandal. He belatedly logged online to review the reports.

It was true that fame bred trouble. The word "plagiarism" was now brazenly stamped all over Daybreak.

Hans knew perfectly well that with Maeve's intellect, such a petty theft was beneath her.

Besides, her true genius wasn't even focused on music.

She dealt in advanced medicine and cutting-edge technology. Why would she tank her reputation over a single song?

"Mr. White, the ones fanning the flames online are Tommy Ford and Barton's mistress, Eva."

"Both of them hold significant sway in the entertainment sector."

"If this media storm continues, it could seriously damage Miss Vance's public image."

Right then, the door pushed open.

Maeve strolled into the study, casually twirling a flash drive by its lanyard around her index finger.

"I heard my plagiarism scandal has blown up."

Andres didn't want these trivial matters ruining her mood.

He stood up to comfort her. "It's a minor issue. I'll have the PR department handle it."

She stopped twirling the drive.

"No need for PR. I have the hard evidence right here."

Hans was highly adept at reading the room.

Seeing the flash drive, he immediately understood.

"The proof is on that drive?"

Sparing them the suspense, she plugged it straight into Andres's laptop.

After a few rapid keystrokes, a hidden folder popped up.

He seemed to whisper a soft 'thank you'.

Andres stared unblinking at the screen, a surge of jealousy for Charlie rippling through him.

To have watched her grow up, to have been a part of those formative years—what a profoundly beautiful privilege that must have been.

The younger Maeve flashed a radiant smile. "Alright, here I go."

Her slender fingers hit the keys, and a breathtaking melody cascaded through the mall.

Listening closely, the music she played was the exact melody she was now being accused of stealing.

Hans came to a shocking realization. "So the reality is that Tommy's track plagiarized Miss Vance's performance from four years ago?"

Tommy was an absolute titan in the industry. The idea of him stealing a teenager's work was unthinkable.

Andres immediately cross-referenced the dates.

"Tommy released that song two years ago. Maeve played this melody four years ago."
