A loud smack echoed as a sharp slap landed on Chloe Davis’s face.
Mason Knight completely lost control, his anger overriding his reason.
Chloe Davis fell to the ground, half her face instantly swelling.
“You hit me! You wait! I’m calling the police!”
Less than half an hour later, the police arrived.
News of Mason Knight’s arrest quickly reached Mr. Knight.
An internal corporate investigation swiftly began.
Mason Knight’s detention for assault, combined with the earlier suspicions surrounding the plagiarism scandal, put Mr. Knight under immense pressure.
“Mr. Knight, we’ve received reports alleging your involvement in covering up subordinates and abusing power during the plagiarism scandal…”
Facing the stern interrogation of the Internal Affairs officers, Mr. Knight could only manage a bitter smile. He knew his career had come to an
end.
A month later, Mr. Knight officially submitted his resignation.

And the news of Mason Knight’s blacklisting was publicly announced online.
While Stellar Entertainment was in turmoil, my colleagues at Galaxy Music and I worked day and night on the album.
Soon, the album for the plagiarism scandal was released.
Media swarmed, cameras pointed at me, the young female producer.
“Producer Hayes, how did you find a breakthrough from those subtle inspirations?”
“What are your thoughts on the successful production of this album?”
Facing the barrage of questions from reporters, I smiled calmly: “There’s only one truth. The work speaks for itself.”
Titles like “Capital City’s Top Producer” and “Most Beautiful Music Luminary” were bestowed upon me.
Looking at my photos in the newspaper, I simply smiled faintly.
What’s mine is mine; no one can take it.
The glory stolen from me in my previous life, this time, I personally reclaimed it, and it shone even brighter than before.
Meanwhile, Chloe Davis was also arrested.
“Ms. Chloe Davis, for providing false information and maliciously interfering with a company investigation during the plagiarism scandal, has been sentenced to three years in prison.”
Public disturbance and interference with an investigation–these crimes could be minor or major. For her to be sentenced so severely, I didn’t believe there wasn’t a hidden hand at play.
It must have been Mason Knight’s doing.
The Knight family had been entrenched in Cloud City for years. Even if Mr. Knight resigned and Mason Knight was blacklisted, a fallen empire still wields significant power. They still had connections.
Deceived for two lives, and with the Knight family now in such a state, he must have hated her intensely.
