Chapter 361 “Collins, do you have Jay’s number?” Mirabella inquired.
Collins blinked, a bit taken aback, but then nodded, “Yeah, I've got it.” “Then send it tolater. | need it,” Mirabella stated.
“You're not thinking of calling him, are you?” Collins assumed reflexively.
Mirabella just pursed her lips. “No, it’s not that.” Collins figured Mirabella wasn’t the type to do such a thing. So he agreed, “I'll send it to you on Messenger in a bit.” *Thanks,” Mirabella nodded, and then she was off.

Soon after, Collins hopped into his car and drove away.
Back at the villa, Mirabella washed up quickly and then settled at her desk. She booted up her computer and crafted a small program, sending it to both Jay's phone and his computer.
After finishing her task, she finally laid back in bed to rest.
The next day, Leo didn’t go into the office. Collins had called him, insisting he take a day off at home. Leo didn't overthink it.
With an unfinished new song on his mind, Leo drove back to his own villa. It had a full suite of professional music equipment, with which he had previously crafted his lyrics and melodies. Once there, he locked himself in his music room, determined to complete the songwriting process that day.
By five in the afternoon, with the lyrics and a rough demo in hand, Leo finally left, intending to swing by the office.
Halfway there, his sister's call cthrough. Slipping on his Bluetooth headset, Leo answered cheerfully. “Hey, Mirabella.” She could hear the lightheartedness in his voice. Clearly, he was unaware of the online buzz. She asked, “Leo, are you at home? Or somewhere else?” “Just heading back to the office, got sstuff to take care of.” Leo glanced at the lyric files. beside him.
Mirabella massaged her temple. “Heading back to the office this late?” “Yeah, | just finished the lyrics for my new song, and I'm taking the demo back to tweak it a bit,” 1/2 1141 Chapter 361 Leo replied candidly.
Mirabella thought for a moment, then asked, “You've been writing new music?” “That's right, been prepping for over half a year now, Inspiration hit, and | wrapped it up,” Leo said, his voice tinged with a hint of emotion. He had almost given up on everything due to health issues before, but now that he had fully recovered, it was tto pick up where he had left off.

Leo chuckled, “You're my little sister, so of course, you can be the first. But right now, it’s just a rough cut. How about you wait until | polish the final version?” “It doesn’t matter. A rough cut is still your song,” Mirabella stated, unfazed.
That was the kind of response that really hit home. Immediately, Leo made a U-turn, “Alright, you'll hear it first, then. I'll take it to the office later.” “Great, just chome, Leo. I'll wait for you,” Mirabella sweetly replied.
“Okay, I'll be there in about twenty minutes.” With that. Leo ended the call.
While waiting for Leo, Mirabella took the opportunity to scroll through Twitter again, listening carefully to Jay's accusation that Leo had stolen his song.
Though she wasn’t musically inclined, she could appreciate the song's essence. Having listened to Leo’s music for stnow, the song on Twitter clearly resonated with his style. If anyone was guilty of imitation, Jay seemed the more likely suspect.
