Chapter 966 Let Me Handle It
Vernon’s tone was brazen and arrogant and sounded nothing like a professional musician.
If one were to make a comparison, he would come closer to being likened to a typical
bully. ”Whatever it is, this music is mine, and I’ve had so many lawsuits over the years
that another one doesn’t make a difference.”
Tessa’s face was livid with fury, and Sofia didn’t bother hiding the displeased scowl on her
face.
Then, she narrowed her eyes dangerously as she threatened, ”Aren’t you afraid I’ll ruin
your career?”
”Of course, I’m afraid when this threat originates from your lips, Miss Sofia. But I’m clearly
not at fault this time, so you can’t just abuse your power because you aren’t satisfied with
the outcome, right?”
While he taunted and laughed boisterously, Tessa barely held on to her sanity as she
gritted her teeth and thought, I’ve never met such an outrageous person!
Finally, she inhaled deeply as she squashed her anger into a box. She knew right then that
this man wouldn’t budge even if they continued the negotiations. ”Alright, I’ll do as you
suggest. Please await my lawyer’s letter, Mr. Vernon.”
That night, Tessa was in a foul mood when she returned home. As she didn’t bother

sent Gregory away, asking, ”What happened? The issue isn’t settled yet?”
She didn’t see the need to conceal such a matter from him and told him everything word
for word. Eventually, she was so worked up at the end that she couldn’t help herself from
exclaiming, ”I’ve never met such a shameless person in my life!”
After he listened to her recounting the failed discussion with Vernon, his face also sank.
However, he had other matters to attend to at the moment as he lowered his eyes at his
angry wife in his arms. So, he suppressed his anger as he reassured her gently, ”Alright,
don’t be mad. It’s not worth it to get so upset over someone like that.”
He’s right, she thought. It’s not worth it for me to get so riled up over this kind of person.
After a long while, she composed herself and said calmly, ”I’ll get a lawyer tomorrow to
take care of this matter.”
”Let me handle this. Just focus on your training in the orchestra.”
As he didn’t want her to be too exhausted, he decided to deal with this problem
personally. Tessa knew the kind intentions behind his actions, so she didn’t turn down his
offer.
…
Early the following day, Nicholas went to work and instructed Edward to ask the
company’s legal team to draft a lawyer’s letter. By midday, Vernon was charged with
plagiarism.
In the meantime, Nicholas also had a voice recording of Tessa’s conversation with Vernon
and sent it to various media outlets to expose Vernon’s shamelessness. His actions
naturally caused an uproar among the netizens.
After all, many people liked Vernon’s new music when it was first released, and some even
said that he had finally repented and come up with good music. Alas, all the praises they
showered on him back then returned as harsh slaps in their faces.
‘I even thought that this Vernon is a changed man and specially bought his music online to
support him. Who knew that it was plagiarized work? A leopard can’t change its spots. He
makes me sick!’
‘Refund me, you piece of trash.’
‘Boycott this thief.’
‘I told you so. It’s impossible for this guy to repent, and some people argued with me. Now
that this is exposed, isn’t that like a slap in their faces?’
‘When I heard the conversation in the recording, I wanted to give this jerk a beating. He’s
an utter embarrassment to the other musicians.’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘I really don’t know why Vernon can be so brazen, acting so disrespectfully to Miss Sofia.’
‘He’s literally the scum in the music industry. I support Miss Sofia’s decision to ruin this
guy’s career!’
The netizens were frothing at the mouth for justice, and there were even people who used
this chance to bring up his previous cases of theft.
‘It’s not the first day that this guy is a thief. Therefore, I strongly request that everyone
boycott this guy and let peace return to the music industry.’
As soon as the post was posted, it garnered massive support from the netizens. In the
beginning, Vernon had not a single clue about the commotion on the Internet, and he only
found out about it after his personal assistant called him.
After he logged into his social media app, he saw that the netizens had slaughtered him in
the comments section with all sorts of vulgarities.
”Damn it. They even made a voice recording!”
By the time he had read through the whole thing, he was so mad that he wanted to throw
his phone out, but he restrained his anger as he schemed a way out. Thus, he snarled
through gritted teeth, ”Since you’re not showing any mercy, I should return you in kind as
well.”
Then, he started to draft a text with the cell phone in his hands, beginning to do an exposé
as well. ‘First of all, I didn’t steal anyone’s work this time. As for the sheet music, it was
given to me by somebody.’
