Chapter 11 The Person Behind Evanescence

“Manager, tell her! She’s always been the one who writes my songs. This time, whether she wants to or not, she has to write them!” Logan shouted in panic.
But Naomi completely ignored him.
Logan was at a complete loss. He slumped in his chair.
“What am I supposed to do now…? Should I write my own songs? I’ve never composed anything before…”
“Why don’t we try to contact Evanesce privately and negotiate with her? Maybe there’s still a chance,” the manager suggested.
Then what are you waiting for? Go, hurry!” Logan shouted.
But as soon as they started investigating, they were in for a shock. The detective the manager had hired. dug into all of Evanesce’s information and discovered that Evanesce was none other than Logan’s own sister. Naomi!
The manager wasted no time in breaking the news to Logan. The moment Logan heard it, he was completely stunned; his mind went blank.
Impossible. The genius who had been writing my songs all along… How could she be Naomi?
Naomi had always been quiet and inconspicuous at home, the rasiest to control, with nothing outstanding about her. How could she suddenly turn the tables and be the one holding me in her grip?
“No way! Was your detective wrong? Naomi isn’t even worthy of carrying my shoes, let alone writing my songs!”
Logan stood motionless in his office, staring daggers at the manager.
Seeing Logan’s disbelief, the manager quickly laid out all the evidence.
“Whether you believe it or not, the truth is right in front of you! First of all, there’s something about her name paired with Evanesce–Naomi, which means sweetness and permanence, while Evanesce, which means ephemeral and fading, creates a tension of opposites–a metaphor for ‘capturing fleeting inspiration through art, mirroring the core of a musical creator’s soul. If that still seems like a stretch, take a look at this old post from Evanesce. The place name is your family home! And in the attached photo, you can see her face reflected in the wine glass!”
The manager enlarged the wine glass photo several times. Logan leaned in and instantly froze in shock.
The reflection in the glass–it’s really exactly Naomi!
“Also, Naomi’s blog follows Evanesce’s and vice versa. Many of their posts share common themes and timelines. Look at these…” One by one, the manager presented the overlapping blog posts. The details and timestamps matched too well to be a coincidence.
“The detective also found out that Naomi recently cut ties with the Judd family. Is that true? Could that be why she’s refusing to write for us now?”
The manager fixed Logan with an intense look. Logan, unable to deny the truth any longer, stammered.

Hearing this, the manager breathed a sigh of relief and cajoled him, “You’re her own brother, She must have helped you before because she wanted to support you. No matter what happened between the two of you, if you just say a few kind words, I’m sure she’ll listen to you! Once we get over this hurdle, we’ll have plenty of time to deal with her later. So now… arrange a meeting with your sister, Naomi. No matter what it takes, get her to write these two new songs before she stops writing!”
Logan felt a mixture of emotions.
On the one hand, fortunately, Evanesce is really Naomi. After all, she is my sister, and she had always been the easiest to control II spoke nicely, she would surely obey.
On the other hand, Naomi had just severed all ties with the Judd family. I had even thrown some harsh words her way. She was probably still angry, there was a chance she wouldn’t help me this time.
But he didn’t dare raise these concerns with his manager. Instead, he just nodded hesitantly.
When Naomi received Logan’s invitation to meet, she narrowed her eyes slightly, an almost imperceptible smile flickering in her gaze.
So he had finally found out that I’m Evanesce. Just as I had expected.
“This afternoon, at the Judd house. Let’s meet, Logan said.
Talking about it at work would be too conspicuous. The Judd Mansion was the safest option.
After some thought, Naomi agreed.
Logan was the youngest. I wasn’t going to cut him off completely, at least not yet for now.
By the time Naomi knocked and entered the Judd family’s great room, Logan had been waiting for quite some time.
Thinking back to the last time I had left this house, Logan had taunted me loudly and told me never to come back. Noth he was waiting for me here in person.
The irony made her laugh.
“Logan, last time you told me I’d never set foot in this house again. So why are you the one opening the door for me now?” She asked with a faint smile.
Logan’s expression darkened. “Naomi, cut the crap. Youre Evanesce, aren’t you?”
Naomi raised an eyebrow slightly, waiting for him to continue.
“I already announced the new songs. Whether you like or not, you’re going to write them! If your understand that, then get to work right away. I need them immediately!”
Logan’s voice was full of anger, his eyes fixed on Naomi with burning intensity.
Hearing such an unreasonable demand, Naomi sighed silently.
My little brother hadn’t changed at all.
In his past lives, people had always bowed down to him. He had never had to stoop to begging anyone for anything.

only he had the humility to apologize. But to see his matter how many lives pass
“What makes you think that if you yell at me like that, still write your songs?” Naomi said with a scornful smile.
“Ridiculous! Naomi, do you know your place in this family? Do you really think you can refuse me?”
Hearing her rejection, Logan was so angry he could barely breathe.
He had neve refuse him.

What had gotten into her?
She had been acting strangely ever since she cut ties with the family. And now she was going against me!
Wasn’t she always obedient? When had she ever refused to do what I wanted?
While these thoughts were running through his mind, he heard Naomi’s voice, light and untroubled.
No.
Logan shot up
from the couch, his eyes burning with anger, his fists clenched tightly.
Naomi, as if she hadn’t noticed his anger, said coolly, “Is that all you wanted to talk about? If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving
“Naomi, take one step outside and see what happens!” Logan shouted angrily.
