CHAPTER 239: CHAPTER 239: IDENTITY REVEALED—SERENA STERLING IS YAN, MICRO LOVE ORIGINAL

As soon as Vera Hansen spoke, a lot of accusatory comments against Serena Sterling sprang up.

"I knew it, everyone knows ’Micro Love’ is Vera’s original song. If there was a problem before, why didn’t anyone mention it earlier? Now accusing Vera is just to sabotage ’Micro Love’s box office!"

"Serena is just jealous of Vera. She’s been writing and singing for years but can’t compete with Vera, so she’s deliberately trying to harm her!"

"Despicable!"

"Serena is disgusting!"

...

But as soon as the accusations appeared, Ford Entertainment’s counterattack began.

First of all.

The official account of Ford Entertainment directly released a lawyer’s letter that was sent after Vera Hansen publicly performed ’Micro Love’ for the first time, claiming it as her original work.

And it was clearly written that this song was written by "Yan" and was later forcibly bought by Vera Hansen and Julian Lawson.

Serena Sterling forwarded this.

All of a sudden, it caused a huge stir.

"So, the real original of this song isn’t Vera Hansen but someone called ’Yan’?"

"The lawyer’s letter also has a date, plus there’s a timestamp when it was sent to Vera Hansen’s email."

"Didn’t ’Micro Love’ get re-recorded later, with an additional ’Yan’ added? Could it be that Vera really did..."

...

Immediately, someone loudly questioned Vera.

Vera had been waiting for this.

She smiled as she placed a rose in a vase, and then said, "Do you believe it?"

The lights shone on her, making her appear immaculate.

Her face, sad yet strong, evoked sympathy.

A staff member on the side complained, "We shouldn’t have re-recorded ’Micro Love’ with Ford Entertainment back then."

"At the time, we let that ’Yan’ lend a hand, thinking she was working hard, so we included her name. Now they use this as leverage to accuse you!"

After the staff finished speaking, Vera disagreed, stopping them: "Enough."

She appeared pure and kind.

But this had already been broadcasted.

The venue was filled with the loud buzzing of discussion, and online, it was lively too.

"So that’s how it is, Vera Hansen was kind but got used by Ford Entertainment and Serena Sterling!"

"Yan, come out and explain, what exactly happened!"

"Ford Entertainment is livestreaming. If they have evidence, let them show it. What’s all this nonsense now?"

"And that Serena, the matter between Yan and Vera has nothing to do with you! Stop trying to gain attention!"

Netizens were calling out in droves.

On site, some curious person even set up a screen to directly project the updated page of Ford Entertainment’s official account to a large screen nearby.

This made it convenient for those eager to gossip.

Looking at the reactions from all sides, Vera Hansen could hardly suppress her smile.

She trimmed another flower and placed it in the vase.

Just like this, how could a little singer like Yan stand a chance against her!

As for Jasper Ford, he’s merely Serena’s lapdog. Defeating him wouldn’t be an honorable victory.

Vera Hansen continued arranging flowers.

"Proceed to the second step." Serena Sterling looked at Vera from afar, speaking softly.

So everyone saw Ford Entertainment leisurely update their status on the large screen beside them.

Ford Entertainment: Here is the contract originally signed by both parties, sensitive parts have been concealed.

Below were several pictures.

Yet, because the contract had confidential nature, very little of it could be released.

Vera Hansen laughed upon seeing it.

She looked at the livestream camera: "Don’t you find this evidence ridiculous? If this is their evidence, then I can use similar ’evidence’ to falsely accuse countless others."

But before she finished speaking, new evidence had already been presented.

Serena, watching the complacent Vera, lightly tapped her fingers.

Then——

Yan’s account posted an update.

It was a picture.

A copyright registration image.

Although the song had been sold, this was a specialized registration for attribution, noting the transfer details.

Watching the plethora of immediate comments, Serena’s eyes were resolute.

Releasing contracts, showing lawyer’s letters, was only procedural, to demonstrate their credible signing and multiple warnings, Vera Hansen knowingly broke the law.

What follows is the key point.

Quinn immediately took action, and Ford Entertainment’s official account directly reposted this update.

Ford Entertainment: ’Micro Love’ (formerly known as ’Micro Light’) copyright registration, available for verification on our official website.

What’s clearly written here is that the lyrics and composition of this song were solely done by Yan, with Vera missing entirely.

This evidence caused a complete reversal!

Industry insiders immediately went to the official website to verify, and what they found was exactly the image Ford Entertainment had posted.

The person projecting the screen also went through a verification process, confirming the authenticity of the information.

"How about that? This is an official website’s registered copyright proof. I wonder what Vera Hansen will say now?" Jasper Ford chuckled coldly.

Vera Hansen repeatedly joined forces with Alexander Ford and Julian Lawson to suppress them, he had long had enough!

As for Serena, she remained silent, just looking over at Vera’s side.

Both online and offline, an uproar had begun.

Countless people held onto that copyright registration, demanding Vera give an explanation.

Yet Vera remained silent.

She finished arranging the flowers in her hand before standing up.

Serena watched Vera from afar, seeing her begin to perform.

Vera’s eyes were already red.

"I don’t know about this." Vera’s voice, amplified through the microphone, spread both online and offline.

She laughed self-deprecatingly, saying, "I can only say, I wrote the song, but I’m too unfamiliar with the music industry..."

She looked directly into the camera.

"Yan, you should be watching the livestream, right?" Vera said, recalling how she was treated when she approached Yan for discussions a few days ago, determined to make the other party beg her!

Kneel in front of her and beg her!

The more she thought about it, the sadder Vera’s expression became.

She said, "We’ve known each other for so long. At first, I couldn’t do anything, and you helped me. I was very grateful to you."

"Yan, even though all the songs were written by me, I still included you."

"But look, what have you done to me?"

A tear rolled down from the corner of Vera’s eye.

"You talked about registration and such tasks, I couldn’t handle them, I wasn’t in good health, so I asked you to do the paperwork and miscellaneous tasks, you..."

At this point, Vera was both laughing and crying, tears continually falling.

"I was always grateful to you, so I’ve never spoken out about this, even when you collaborated with Serena and wrote songs for Hawthorne’s new releases, I never said a word."

"I thought as long as you had a bright future ahead, but now you’re siding with them..."

Vera was already too choked up to speak, and both online and offline, some began to wipe their tears.

"If later there were reasons for me to do all these things due to the competition, ’Micro Love’ was already written before the first live broadcast of ’Heavenly Sound’. Why would I, almost dying, do all this?"

"You know how I felt when I wrote this song, my love, my despair. We spent day and night together, remember how we wiped each other’s tears, you know all this, but you..."

Vera stopped crying, she looked at the camera, and said:

"If you still have a heart, come out and make everything clear."

"This is the last chance I’ll give you."

"I will forgive you."

Vera cried as she looked at the camera, laughing wildly inside.

Yan.

Do you see it?

With things said this way, even with copyright registration proof, so what?

Even if long after, the court case is won, she can still use this explanation to put the blame on Yan’s head.

She would pay damages.

But no matter how many resources Jasper Ford gives Yan, it would be to no avail.

For her public image will be utterly ruined.

On the other side, Jasper Ford was nearly furious enough to throw things.

Serena from afar watched Vera’s side.

She laughed.

Laughed at Vera’s distortion of facts and her playing the victim card.

Before long, everyone saw that Ford Entertainment started a livestream on the adjacent screen.

It was a phone livestream.

The background was loud and noisy.

"I am Yan." A woman’s voice came through.

Vera, with red eyes, looked at the big screen on the side. She knew Yan would definitely come out.

As long as she didn’t want her future destroyed, Yan would definitely stand on her side!
