Playtime's Over, CEO: She's Really Done With You
Chapter 241: Voiceprint Identification Report—The Demo Was Sung by Serena Sterling
CHAPTER 241: CHAPTER 241: VOICEPRINT IDENTIFICATION REPORT—THE DEMO WAS SUNG BY SERENA STERLING
The contract with Vera Hansen can only be disclosed with mutual consent, and since Vera wouldn’t agree, it’s impossible to release everything.
However, both Serena Sterling and Ford Entertainment have agreed to release their confidentiality contract, so there’s no issue.
The official account of Ford Entertainment immediately reposted this and included more details of the agreement, including sections of the agency contract with Serena Sterling.
Due to the urgency of selling the song when signing, and Serena being abroad, they initially signed online with a supplementary paper contract, so Ford Entertainment’s official account also released the notarized timestamp of the online signing.
The online signing was conducted on a very credible major platform, so the timing is trustworthy.
To prove this contract wasn’t fabricated later.
Indeed, it is strong evidence!
In an instant, Serena Sterling’s credibility as Yen was almost irrefutable.
On the projector screen, Serena put down her phone and softly said, "I’ve provided evidence that I’m Yen. Vera Hansen, where’s your evidence?"
All eyes turned to Vera Hansen.
Vera looked ashen.
She had anticipated many scenarios, thinking she could easily handle a minor character like Yen!
Even if Yen had some weight, she thought she could twist the facts.
But she never imagined Yen would actually be Serena Sterling!
Anyone could have been Yen, but not her... not Serena Sterling!
Just as Serena said, anyone could be friends, but not Serena and Vera Hansen.
No one would befriend a woman who wrecked their marriage!
The crowd was starting to get restless.
"Vera Hansen, give us an explanation!"
"Didn’t you just say that Yen betrayed you by secretly registering the copyright? You claimed ’Micro Love’ didn’t infringe, hinting it was Serena Sterling and Ford Entertainment trying to frame you, so provide the evidence!"
...
The crowd shouted, and Serena quietly looked at Vera on the stage.
She appeared calm, but her emotions were in turmoil.
Her marriage, the song taken by force, the child lost due to a fight in the hospital.
Each breath etched these memories into her mind.
Pain and hatred subtly surged, pulling at her emotions.
She just watched Vera, watching her trap herself.
Vera stood there for a while, the calls from the audience growing louder.
Then, Vera suddenly laughed.
"So, you are Serena Sterling!" She looked shocked, then became frail, "So, Serena, you deliberately approached me, was all this a setup of yours, planned long ago just for today?!"
The crowd fell silent, seemingly pondering the meaning of Vera’s words.
Vera’s chest heaved violently.
"Indeed, I cannot produce a photo of Yen, maybe you really are Yen."
"I’ve always respected Yen, so even though she never let me see her face, I never forced to see it, but I didn’t expect, it was all a setup!"
Vera shouted, "’Micro Love’ was written by me, it’s my song. Serena, you disguised as Yen to approach me and stole my song, what exactly do you want?"
"Serena, I never expected you to be such a deep-minded person!"
The crowd discussed.
Nobody knew who was telling the truth now.
Both sides seemed to make sense.
"If ’Micro Love’ was really written by Serena, would she let Vera possess the song for so long?"
This was a shared sentiment among many.
Serena smiled.
At this point, Vera still wanted to twist the facts.
"Do you really think creativity leaves no trace?" Serena said.
From conception to completion, a song leaves traces.
Serena lightly tapped her finger and uploaded all the materials she had while writing the song to Yen’s account.
Thoughts, ideas, modified content, discarded parts, and so on.
Many were recordings, with the recording times included.
Some were made at home, but most at the practice building owned by Ford Entertainment.
"All these were before ’Micro Love’ went online." Serena said.
But Vera was still in denial, "You secretly embedded yourself beside me, obtaining this would surely be easy."
By now, most people had made their own judgments in their hearts.
The things Serena had just uploaded included her own thoughts, which completely contradicted Vera’s stories of illness or other experiences.
However, a definitive blow was still needed.
Serena looked at Vera.
Since Vera wanted a definitive blow, she would give it to her.
Serena looked over to Jasper Ford.
Jasper nodded excitedly.
He had been waiting eagerly for this moment.
Soon, everyone saw that Ford Entertainment’s official account updated with the latest post.
The first post was the voiceprint identification report of the demo from the ’Micro Light’ recording studio.
This identification report proved the demo version was sung by Serena herself.
"What? This was sung by Serena!" a girl exclaimed beside a car.
The girl next to her was equally shocked, "No wonder I previously thought Vera’s voice didn’t match the demo version. I thought it was the recording studio’s issue!"
Before the crowd could react, the second post was updated again.
The second post contained a surveillance video with audio.
This was the recording studio’s surveillance video.
In the video, Serena, dressed simply, softly played and sang the demo then known as ’Micro Light’.
The surveillance video also included the date and time.
After singing, she softly said, "Something like this, life needs light, even if it’s just a faint light."
People then suddenly remembered, when the demo first leaked, it was titled ’Micro Light’, not ’Micro Love’!
Now, both the voice identification and the surveillance proved the demo version was played and sung by Serena.
"I remember during the ’Heavenly Sound’ live broadcast, Vera claimed the demo version was sung by her!"
"Right, ’Micro Love’ even used this demo, I saw it clearly in the trailer!"
"This is shocking! Could it be that Serena and Ford Entertainment fabricated all this? These... it’s unbelievable!"
"It couldn’t be fabricated, right? The identification report was issued by a qualified authority, it’s very weighty. Moreover, ’Micro Light’ and ’Micro Love’, they’re clearly different, the original leak was called ’Micro Light’."
...
It was like a heavy hammer crashing down.
Pulverizing, making a deafening noise.
No one had expected this at all, that it could come to this!
The evidence released by Ford Entertainment was extremely comprehensive, including the contract, lawyer letters, copyright registration, song creation process, voice identification report, and recording studio surveillance.
An extremely complete chain of evidence.
No matter how remarkable this matter was, it was impossible not to believe.
At this moment, as if feeling it wasn’t enough, Ford Entertainment updated with the latest post.
And this update was utterly groundbreaking.
