Chapter 490 How Come It’s You?
The moment Hayley started singing, the audience was captivated, and someone shouted in excitement,
The voice sounds so familiar, so emotional… It makes me want to cry! Only my idol could sing like this- it’s got to be her!”
“Oh my God! Harmony is performing at ou
“Harmony! Harmony! Harmony!”
hool!”
The entire auditorium erupted in exci, with students holding hands, waving glow sticks, and letting Hayley’s voice carry them away. Some fans were so overcome with emotion that they cried, while others were lost in the song, which seemed to have an almost magical power. By the end of the performance, everyone in the room was singing along, except for the judges.
Some bold fans, unable to contain their excitement, had already gotten up and rushed toward the backstage, only to be stopped by security.
in as a guest performer? Could it be Harmony like they said?”
Seeing this, the principal’s assistant nervously pulled ne

Christine smiled and tried to cover it up. “Of course not! She’s just a friend of mine. I only asked her to help out because her voice is similar to mine … Nothing more.”
The principal’s assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Hayley’s POV:
After finishing the song, I lifted the hem of my dress and gave a quick bow to thank the audience, then made my way off the stage.
“Thank you all for your support, and I hope we meet again soon!”
I entered Christine’s dressing room, quickly changed, and took off the mask, all in one smooth motion.
Just as I hid the mask, the curtain at the door was suddenly drawn back.
Loretta, looking serious, stood at the door. She seemed surprised to see me and asked in confusion, “Hayley? What are you doing here?”
As she spoke, her eyes scanned the room.
“Wait, I saw Harmony heading this way–how come it’s you?” she asked, eyeing me suspiciously.
I took a deep breath and calmly replied, “I’m just waiting for Christine. Isn’t she the host?”
Loretta looked me over, her gaze sharp. “Has anyone else been here?”
I played innocent, “Christine, maybe?”
Loretta seemed disappointed. “Guess I went the wrong way. Never mind, I’ll leave you to wait, I need to go.”

Just then, Christine bounded into the room, excitedly calling out my name as she approached. “Hayley, Hayley! You were amazing!”
The moment she finished speaking, Christine bumped right into Loretta, who was still standing in the doorway.
Christine hadn’t expected anyone else to be in the room, and in front of Loretta, she inadvertently revealed that I was the one who had just performed.
Hera, amused inside me, mocked, “Hayley, maybe you should just admit to everyone at school that you’re Harmony. Then, you won’t have to deal with me anymore, and no one will bully you.”
“Shut up,” I replied, then helplessly glanced at Loretta, whose eyes were wide in shock.
Loretta pointed at me and asked, “You’re Harmony?“.
“Harmony’s lyrics have been with me through every important stage of my life; they’re like a belief to me.”
“The moment you opened your mouth on stage, I knew it was you. I was almost the first to try and rush backstage, but security was too thorough. After much effort, I finally snuck in through the back door just to see you in person.”
“Are you Harmony?”
I caught the hint of doubt in Loretta’s voice, so I decided to play along. I purposely made my tone firm, “Yes, I’m the one who sang just now, Harmony.”
As I expected, my confident response only made Loretta more uncertain.
She squinted at me with a scrutinizing gaze. “Then, why don’t you sing one of Harmony’s famous songs, ‘Zero, to prove it? That shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
I shrugged and began singing, but this time, I deliberately altered my tone, making it sound completely different from Harmony’s voice. “The … ”
I barely got through two lines when Loretta crossed her arms and made a stop gesture. “Stop!”
