The crowd couldn’t hear what they were
saying as they weren’t using microphones, so everyone just waited to see what would unfold.
Zora smiled confidently and continued, “Since it’s a celebration, let’s do something that’ll entertain everyone. How about a piano performance?”
Zora had been trained in piano since she was young, and she had reached a master level. It would be hard for anyone to surpass her in this field.
Caitlin didn’t speak, but Zora thought she had already scared her. So, she addressed Zeke, “Zeke, if Caitlin has no objections, can you prepare a piano for
us?”
Zeke, knowing Caitlin also played piano, glanced at her for confirmation. “Caitlin, is that alright?”
“No problem,” Caitlin responded, shaking her head.
Zeke then summoned the emcee, giving some instructions.
The emcee raised the microphone and announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, the dinner portion of the evening has concluded. Now, please proceed to the performance hall upstairs. Before the show begins, we’ll have a beautiful fireworks display for your enjoyment.”
Zeke guided Caitlin and Zora to the performance hall, and the rest of the guests began to leave the banquet hall. Sebastian noticed Caitlin heading upstairs with Zeke, so he and his friends followed.
The performance hall upstairs was even more luxurious than the banquet hall. Several servers had already set up the piano in the center of the stage, and Zeke led the two women to it, letting them test the sound.
“I’ll go first!” Zora confidently approached the piano to seize the opportunity.
Caitlin stood a short distance away. As the servers who had carried the piano left, one of them whispered something to her in a voice too soft for others
to hear.
“Caitlin, we meet again.”
Caitlin froze for a moment. When she realized who it was, her heart skipped a beat. Was that… Black Hawk’s voice?
Had Black Hawk infiltrated the party tonight? If so, his first target would undoubtedly be Sebastian!
Her heart racing, Caitlin immediately lifted the hem of her dress and rushed after the servant. If it was really Black Hawk, she wasn’t about to let him get

She saw the servant enter a door and followed him in without hesitation.

Madison, still thinking she was about to catch Caitlin in an affair, instead stumbled upon a murder scene, ferrified, she rushed out, shouting “Aho
there’s been a murder! A murder!”
Her screams quickly attracted the attention of several guests.
Felix, with his sharp professional instincts, rushed over when he heard the words “murder” and saw it was his wife screaming. “Madison, what’s going on? What murder?”
“I saw a man die… there’s been a murder…” Madison trembled, unable to speak clearly as her hands shook uncontrollably.
“Where?” Felix demanded.
“Over there… in that room…” Madison pointed toward the room.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Felix rushed into the room she pointed to.
Upon entering, the first thing he saw was the dead body against the wall and Caitlin crouching beside it. Her dress was stained with blood, and her hands also had blood on them.
“Caitlin?!” Felix exclaimed in shock. “What’s going on? Did you kill him?”
Anyone who saw this scene would assume Caitlin had committed the murder.
Caitlin stood up, shaking her head. “Felix, I didn’t kill him. I didn’t do it…”
