He glanced at Yolanda, "As the host of the competition, I'm sorry to announce that the second prize winner Yolanda, due to plagiarizing Maestro Melody's work, is stripped of her award. According to the rules, she can't participate in similar competitions from now on."

Yolanda was trembling all over.

"Now, let's take a photo to commemorate the first and third place winners, and President Jasmine." The host tried to usher the journalists closer to snap photos and move past this incident, but Yolanda suddenly raised her voice, "I didn’t plagiarize!"

"The evidence is right there, and she still denies it?”

“Could she actually be innocent? Look at her, plagiarizers should be guilty, not like this."

"This is clearly plagiarism!"

You plagiarized Melody's work, and the industry will kick you out. You should admit your mistake, yet you have the nerve to say you didn't plagiarize?”

"Can you explain why your climax is the same as Maestro Melody's? With your performance in the other parts, could you compose such an exciting climax?" Jasmine obviously didn't believe her, "Do you think anyone here would believe you? You say you didn't plagiarize, dare you say it in front of Melody again!!"
