After Betraval, 1 Chose Myself.
Chapter 13 Logan’s Reputation Crisis
- Finished
The trending topic lasted less than two hours before it was suppressed, and even the statement itself became unavailable.
At that moment, Logan’s studio was in chaos.
“Has the trending topic been taken down?” Logan paced anxiously, his eyes filled with unease
“Don’t worry, the company has already contacted the platform to remove both the trending topic and the statement. It’s under control for now, his manager said in a low voice.
“How did you even handle this?” Logan suddenly erupted in anger, pointing at his manager and berating him. “I told you to hire a new ghostwriter for a song, and you found one who plagiarized! How could you not even notice such a basic problem?”
Well…” The manager, knowing he made the fault, looked away. “Songs that borrow from obscure foreign music can only be identified by highly professional musicians. I really…”
“Useless! Every single one of you! Now I have a legal notice in my hands; they are suing me! How will we pay the copyright fees? What about the effect on my reputation? What about my new song? Can you take responsibility for this?!”
Afraid of being held accountable, the manager lashed out in return, pointing at Logan and shouting. “Logan, as an artist, writing songs is your own responsibility! You made me find a ghostwriter, and now that there’s trouble, you’re blaming me? Writing songs should be your job! Of course, now that you’ve received the legal notice, you have to face the consequences yourself! The company has already done enough to clean up your mess!”
Logan panicked. “I didn’t write the song, and I didn’t he the ghostwriter! Even if someone has to pay the copyright fees, it’s definitely not going to be me!”
The manager sneered coldly. “Logan, now I finally understand why Naomi refuses to write songs for you and even cut ties with the Judd family. With your attitude, I wouldn’t even write a song for you!”
“You!”
While Logan’s side was in complete chaos, Naomi sat quietly, deep in thought.
The plagiarism statement had been published, and the legal ridtice had been sent. But with Logan’s company suppressing the trending topic and his brainless fans defending him, the incident still hadn’t completely brought him down
It seemed like it was time to use this piece of evidence.
Naomi opened the video recording of her last encounter with Logan and hit play. Logan’s voice filled the air, “I’m telling you, you have to write the song in three days or I’ll expose you online for being disloyal. selling songs but deliberately withholding the final draft to ruin an artist’s career!”
I can’t afford to wait any longer. If Logan really exposed me online, with his brainless fans and the company backing him up, I might not be able to fight back.
Now that they were dealing with the plagiarism scandal, I might as well strike first!

Chapter 13 Logan’s Reputation Chais
Ghostwriters, she uploaded the video recording and edence of the plagiarism online.
Finished
This time, she spent two thousand dollars on advertising to make sure as many people as possible saw the post!
Even though Logan’s company tried to suppress it again, they couldn’t hide it completely!
As she expected, the post immediately gained traction Compared to the original plagiarism statement, this one had a far greater impact, quickly surpassing ten thousand likes and sharest
Logan’s company immediately tried to suppress the topic, remove the trending tag, and limit the reach of Naomi’s post. But not only did they fail to quell the flames, their actions only further enraged the public!
“Logan Judd must be supported by a corrupt company instead of addressing the problem, they are just paying to suppress trending topics!”
“Spread the hashtag, #LoganJuddPlagiarism, #LoganfudUsesGhostwriters.”
“Ignoring and criticizing. No wonder his musical style changed so drastically this time because he changed ghostwriters! And he couldn’t even tell it was plagiarism?! How is someone like that still famous?!”
“Logan Judd, stop pretending to be dead and make a statement!”
Within a single day. Logan’s reputation plummeted, and he lost over 200,000 followers!
Now even people who had never heard of Logan knew about his plagiarism and ghostwriting scandal.
In no time, Logan’s pictures were being edited into various memes and reaction pictures circulating online. Clips from his past variety show appearances were turned into parody videos. Some people even went so far as to send razor blades to his address, and the Judd Mansion’s windows were smashed by vandals.
His direct messages were flooded with an overwhelming amount of hate.
People even formed several group chats specifically to gather evidence against him and take him down.
Inside Logan’s studio, he and his manager were locked in a heated argument, both red–faced from, shouting.
“I told you to ask Naomi nicely for help writing a song! Did you ask her like that? Even if we went down on our knees, she might not have agreed! And yet you darel to order her?”
The manager, who had completely fallen out with Logan, showed no mercy, pointing at him and scolding. him mercilessly.
Logan, however, was unrepentant. “Ask her? Me? In the Judd family, Naomi has always been the lowest of the low! She should be the one begging me to let her write a song, not the other way around! Ask her. Dream on!”
“Is your career more important, or is your pride more important?! Not only did you refuse to solve the problem, you made it worse!”
The manager was shaking with anger. At this point, he saw Logan as completely hopeless. “And on top of that, you were so careless that you didn’t even realize that someone was recording you!”

Firashed
“Is this really the time to say that? Aren’t you supposed to be helping me find a solution?” Logan shouted in frustration.
“A solution? I’m done with this! You have a fan meeting n a few days see how you handle that
With that, the manager stormed out, leaving Logan seething in the office.
“You! Fine, none of you want to help me, huh? I can handle this myself! Naomi, just wait! I’ll make sure you’re completely ruined!”
Gritting his teeth, Logan picked up the phone and dialed his journalist friend, Sam Grant.
“Sam, I have an urgent matter. Are you available to talk now“?
Sam. always one for sarcasm, chuckled mockingly. “Well, well, if it isn’t the infamous Logan Judd, the rising star of online scandal. What can I do for you?”
Logan was already angry, and Sam’s tone only made it worse. “Cut the crap! If you get this done, you’ll be well compensated! Just answer me – will you help or not?”
Hearing the promise of money, Sam’s eyes lit up. “Tell me the details first.”
“You must have heard about my recent situation. I was set up! Can you put me in touch with professionals who can prove that the video circulating online is fake?
A sharp gleam flashed in Logan’s eyes. He knew that as long as money was involved, Sam would do anything.
Besides, with his connections in the media industry, Sam would surely be able to get him the proof he needed.
