Chapter 195:
The world was captivated.
Yelena tapped play, and Sonya’s voice poured from her phone’s speakers.
It wasn’t bad—Sonya’s voice was clear and pleasant, though not particularly unique.
On the video, Sonya moved with confidence, imitating gestures and expressions she had clearly borrowed from more seasoned performers.
To a casual viewer, it might have seemed polished, but to Yelena, it was painfully awkward, bordering on a parody. If Sonya had genuine talent, Yelena might have been impressed.
But knowing the song was stolen, the entire performance felt hollow, almost laughable.
In Yelena’s eyes, Sonya wasn’t a rising star—she was a thief masquerading as one. A joke dressed in borrowed glory.
Scrolling through the flood of comments, Yelena smirked. The lavish praise seemed almost too effusive, too coordinated.
Probably bought likes and fake fans too. Classic move for someone trying too hard to shine.
Exiting the video, Yelena logged into one particular app she hadn’t touched in a while. With a few quick taps, she opened her archive.
There it was—Shadow—tucked neatly into her directory. Although the sheet music had disappeared from her drawer, she’d recorded the melody ages ago, saving it here.
Yelena had so many songs stored here that she hadn’t shared publicly, preferring to release pieces only when she felt like it.
But now, that long-standing habit was about to work in her favor.

The archive recorded timestamps for every upload, and the date on her Shadow recording predated Sonya’s claim by months.
Her lips curled into a sharper smirk as she toggled the recording to public and pinned it to the top of her page.
She even took a moment to compose a post. “Today, I came across a song that is identical to one I recorded last year. The other party even claims it’s her original composition. Should I sue her p>
Yelena’s post barely went live before it sent shockwaves through the Internet.
This account of hers, as composer Yera, wasn’t the most active, but it was still widely recognized.
After all, Yera had penned hits for some of the biggest names in music and had become the go-to composer in the industry.
Her songs were everywhere, becoming instant classics that everyone hummed along to.
Despite her success, Yelena was always a private person, keeping her personal life under wraps.
So, many people didn’t even realize that Yelena and Yera, the legendary composer, were one and the same. If it had been anyone else causing trouble, Yelena might have just turned the other cheek.
But this time, it was Sonya.
And Sonya, with her history of scheming alongside her mother, had crossed a line. Yelena wasn’t about to let it go without a fight this time.
As soon as Yelena posted, the Internet exploded. She didn’t hold back—she tagged Sonya and the controversial song.
