Chapter 269
Aylin Watts, the agent, hesitated for a moment with her hand on the glass before asking nonchalantly, "You mean you wrote the tracks on Mabel's new album?"
"Absolutely, I wrote them. I even crafted her debut song that launched her career. Weren't you aware of that?"
Aylin responded with a smile, "Oh yes, I recall now. You were the poser."
She took a sip of water, pausing before adding, "Mabel is fortunate to have such a supportive sister. Thanks to your efforts, she's made quite an impact in the music industry."
Elyse sensed an underlying implication. She narrowed her eyes and probed cautiously, "Aylin, what exactly are you implying?"
Quickly, Aylin clarified, "I'm simply acknowledging your contribution. Mabel is lucky to have a sister who backs her musically."
Elyse offered a sarcastic smile. "If that's true, why didn't you attribute the poser's name to me instead of altering it to Mabel?"
Aylin gently patted Elyse's hand, and said, "Don't overthink it. We maintain Mabel's image as an
original artist in the industry, so it's essential she appears as the songwriter."
Elyse her hand sharply and wore a devilish grin. One look was all she needed to figure
out that Aylin was trying to scam her.
"So, Mabel is using my works without my permission? That sounds like theft to me."
Caught off guard by Elyse's assertiveness, Aylin attempted to grasp her hand again, but the
former resisted.
With an laugh, Aylin suggested, "You're family, after all. Let's not be too harsh. We can discuss this."
Elyse nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's discuss."
Feeling relieved, Aylin heaved a sigh. "Exactly, you're sisters. Why the hard stance?"
"I want the new album canceled, and she needs to apologize," Elyse demanded.
Aylin was taken aback, unprepared for Elyse's tough stance. The album had already been
released, and there was no way they could cancel the release of it now!
Moreover, canceling would mean the pany's investment in the album being wasted.
Aylin rolled her eyes and shifted her tone. "You're right. The mistake was indeed on our part. We
should have finalized the poser's credit before releasing the songs."

She then subtly led the conversation to a different topic. "However, you possess a superior appearance and talent pared to Mabel. Have you ever considered pursuing a career as a star with our pany? I assure you, under my guidance, you could surpass
A glimmer flickered in Elyse's eyes as she queried, "Are you
suggesting I sign with your pany?"
Sensing Elyse's interest in potentially joining her roster, Aylin quickly exited the meeting room. She returned shortly with a document, which she presented enthusiastically to Elyse. "Here's the exclusive contract for an artist. I'm prepared to offer you exceptionally favorable terms." Elyse skimmed the document briefly then looked up to meet Aylin's eager gaze. "If sign this contract, will you assist me in reclaiming my
Aylin confidently thumped her chest. "Absolutely. I've always seen your potential. Remember, I
reached out to you a year ago, but you declined. I'm just as serious now."
While speaking, Aylin handed Elyse a pen and urged her to sign the contract.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Aylin showered Elyse with pliments, enthusiastically asserting her bright future should she sign the contract.
Yet Elyse was well aware that Aylin was not a good person.
Aylin's urgency for Elyse to sign hinted at underlying motives, prompting Elyse to approach the contract with increased scrutiny.
Thereafter, she methodically began to read each page carefully.
Noticing this, Aylin quickly remarked, "I've been working with Mabel for a year. Do you think I'd deceive you? Trust me, I wouldn't scam you."
Despite Aylin's reassurances, Elyse remained skeptical. She meticulously turned each page until she came across a specific document buried within the lengthy contract It explicitly stated that Elyse would relinquish her rights to three original pieces of music to Mabel, granting her unrestricted use and poser credits.
Elyse slammed the document on the table, fixing Aylin with a piercing gaze. "You wouldn't try to scam me?"
Caught in her deceit, Aylin's embarrassment was palpable. With no other option available, she admitted bluntly, "The songs have already been released. If you want to cancel the album, you'll need to accept the financial losses for my pany."
