Chapter 1478:
Leaving the monitoring room with the video, Annabel instructed security to bring Doyle to her office.
“Let go of me!” Doyle struggled, panic rising in his voice. He protested the entire way until he was shoved inside.
Annabel didn’t bother with pleasantries. She narrowed her eyes and pointed at the surveillance video. “Explain p>
“I… I really don’t know,” Doyle tried to deny it at first.
But the moment Annabel mentioned calling the police, his face drained of color. He dropped to his knees.
“No—wait! I’ll talk!” His voice cracked, and regret flashed across his face. “I… I just wanted to buy the rights to Miriam’s songs for cheap. I didn’t expect Bobbi’s associate would secretly p>
“…photographed the song’s content. I didn’t realize it until he released the song, but by then, it was already too late p>
Doyle’s voice faded into a miserable mumble. Annabel only sneered before ordering security to drag him out.
The incident made Annabel realize just how badly the company’s culture had rotted. She moved fast, dispatching a team to investigate everyone involved and their recent activities. She intended to correct the unhealthy atmosphere that had been festering inside Star Entertainment. Still, she had more urgent matters to handle first.
When Doyle had been brought in earlier, Annabel had recorded his confession.
Now, she opened Twitter and, using the company’s official account, posted the surveillance clip along with the audio recording, laying out enough evidence to prove Miriam’s innocence.
Before long, the tide turned. Most commenters began supporting Miriam, while Bobbi was slammed with a wave of condemnation.
Staring at the backlash online, Bobbi felt a headache coming on. Plagiarism was a taboo in the industry.

And yet, as the situation spiraled, Miriam’s popularity surged in the midst of the storm.
Half the people listened to the album because of the buzz, and the other half stayed because they genuinely loved Miriam’s distinctive voice. Just like that, Miriam became an overnight sensation.
A small smile tugged at the corners of Annabel’s mouth as she read the news and reviews flooding the internet. After a moment, she exhaled in relief and prepared to return to work.
Meanwhile, at the Benton family’s house…
Heather arrived early in the morning, carrying a box of soup.
“You didn’t have to bring anything,” Erica said gently as she hurried out to greet her. “It’s so kind of you to come p>
With a sweet smile, Heather slipped her arm through Erica’s, acting utterly warm and familiar. “I made chicken soup as soon as I woke up. I remembered you said you haven’t had much of an appetite lately, so I brought it for you p>
Heather’s considerate, caring display immediately pleased Erica.
“My dear, you’re so thoughtful,” Erica said softly.
