Chapter 156 Dog Eat Dog
Jennifer’s smile deepened, “Of course it doesn’t matter. Daniel’s smoothed everything over for you! I’m so totally jealous!”
Sarah felt no triumph at Jennifer’s words.
She mused to herself, “The events of last night have definitely put a frost on Daniel’s warmth towards me.
He clearly still harbored resentment.
It was all Jennifer’s fault, forcing us to choose!
How vicious!”
“Yeah, you should be jealous,” Sarah snapped, anger bubbling up. “After all, Daniel’s always favored me.”
She’d taken everything that should have been Jennifer’s!
She had been ready to relish in Jennifer’s envy and rage, but instead, she was met with an unexpectedly

serene composure from Jennifer, who seemed utterly unfazed as if the matter barely registered on her radar.
Jennifer smiled, “Right. You two plagiarists, birds of a feather, sticking together. It’s only natural you’d be close.”
She turned to Kelly. “Did you hear that? I wrote that song. Someone else stole it.”
Kelly felt her cheeks burn and thought, “The song really was Jennifer’s!
Sarah had been lying, making a fool of me!”
Still stinging from Sarah’s earlier outburst, Kelly shot back with biting sarcasm, “Sarah, what gives you the right to mock me? You claim it’s a family affair, but I reckon you’re just terrified of having your own plagiarism brought to light!”
“Shut up!”
Sarah exploded and glared at Kelly. “You weren’t complaining when you were accepting that designer bag I gave you!”

Unable to bear the studio a moment longer, she stormed out.

Kelly’s face flushed with acute embarrassment at the remark. Her pride was wounded. Overcome with shame, she made a hasty retreat from the studio.
As soon as the two were gone, a colleague spoke up, “Jennifer, your brother is shameless! Stealing your
ng like that?”
“No,” another corrected. “Didn’t you hear Jennifer? It was Sarah who stole the song and pretended she wrote it. How shameless!”
“The most shameless one is Daniel. He knows Jennifer’s the real victim here, yet he still protects Sarah. Anyone would think Sarah is his actual sister.”
Jennifer, listening to her colleagues‘ defense, replied calmly, “It’s always been like this. I’m used to their favoritism.”
“But this is beyond favoritism! It’s outrageous!”
Jennifer looked at their indignant faces. “But I made them pay. I went public with the truth.”

“Well played, Jennifer. Even if they are your family, you shouldn’t have to put up with such unfairness. Not need to spare their feelings when they don’t consider. yours.”
Jennifer nodded, echoing their sentiment.
Today’s outcome was exactly what she’d wanted.
Che continued working alongside her colleagues, staying later than anyone else.
Vivian emerged from her office. “Jennifer, you’re still here?”
“Just finishing up.”
Jennifer gathered her things, noticing Vivian had stared at her. “Jennifer,” Vivian said hesitantly, “I saw the news about the song plagiarism…”
Jennifer gave a nod, sensing that Vivian had more to share.
“I wanted to ask whether all of Sarah’s previous assignments were actually done by you?”

If this song plagiarism was true, did it mean Sarah had

Hearing this question, Jennifer straightened. “That’s all in the past.”
“Are you worried I won’t believe you? After all, everyone used to believe Sarah, including me.”
Jennifer froze. “Yes,” she admitted quietly. “I used to do all her homework.”
“Why?”
“Because Sarah was jealous of my grades. She deliberately sabotaged me, claiming I broke her hand so that she couldn’t draw or build the models for her projects.”
Vivian was stunned. “Your brothers went along with that? Oh, my God…”
She felt suffocated just hearing about it.
But Jennifer had lived through it.
ennifer offered a reassuring smile, “Don’t worry, Ms. Hoover. I’m independent now. I won’t let them control me anymore.”
“Come on, I’ll buy you a coffee.”
Jennifer walked out of the studio with Vivian. A car pulled up sharply to the curb, and Daniel jumped out.
“Jennifer,” he barked. “I’ve already issued a public apology and cleared everything up. Why are you still making things difficult for Sarah at the studio? You’ve gone too far!”
When Jennifer caught a glimpse of Daniel, her expression turned to ice. “I didn’t make things difficult for her. She’s the one who refused to admit she

“I took all the blame! What more do you want? Why are you still accusing her of plagiarism?”
Daniel was furious.
