“Benard!” Melody called out, and Bernard immediately understood.

He instructed the staff to move the white piano to the side and replace it with a much more luxurious one -an entire piano encrusted with crystal.
This was a gift from Edward, who had learned the night before that Melody could play the piano. With a grand gesture, he had it delivered to her.
She hadn’t even had the chance to try it out yet.
The piano, named ‘Crystal, was wrapped in-Swarovski crystals. It was dazzling in its brilliance.
The keys had been handcrafted by Bentley’s artisans, using only the finest maple and Marabella wood.
Both the craftsmanship and the material were fit for being a collector’s item, a piece that belonged in a
museum.
Yet, here it was, moved into a courtroom to allow Melody to prove her innocence through her performance.
“Mrs. Moore, Mr. Moore said this piano is more fitting for your status.”
The observers slowly withdrew, leaving only those directly involved.
Even the judge remained silent, observing the proceedings.
He could tell that this young woman was the original artist.
After all, the whole purpose of this court broadcast was to promote cultural property rights and intellectual property protection.
Aside from that, the expert music appraiser sitting beside him had been holding his breath, glued to the scene in front of him.
The judge’s stern expression softened for the first time. His expression softened; he cleared his throat and said, “Melody, you may begin your performance.”
He shot another glance at Suzanna Jun, who was standing unsteadily with her face covered. The judge couldn’t help but shake his head in disappointment. Stealing a composition, claiming credit for someone. else’s work. She harbors such malice at such a young age. A severe punishment was in order.
Melody sat at the piano with poise. Her fingers danced effortlessly across the black and white keys.
The music flowed from her fingertips like a river, smooth and unbroken. The melody began slowly, tinged with sorrow, with the deep notes leaping like water droplets from the piano.
The prelude was slightly altered from Suzanna’s version, but the effect was entirely different–rich with emotion, like waves crashing against the shore.
The music instantly gripped the audience, pulling them into its turbulent depths.

The notes multiply in complexity, starting like a bubbling spring and transforming into an interwoven dreamscape of day and night.
Reality blurred as the music crescendoed, its notes crashing like thunder and falling like rain, holding the audience in a spellbound trance.
Their forehead broke out with a layer of sweat.
Every nerve in the room tingled as the contrast between life and death, light and darkness, reached its breaking point. It was a fierce battle for survival, clawing out of desperation.
As the final notes echoed and faded into silence, it felt as if everything had withered and decayed. The courtroom was plunged into a deathly stillness.
The second movement of Night Bloom Nocturne was an anthem of both despair and defiance–a struggle against fate, culminating in a resolute march toward death.
The tone was entirely different from the first movement, but together they formed an unforgettable masterpiece.
Music, after all, is not just an art–it is emotion.
The sheer power of what they’d heard shook even those who didn’t understand music.
Even Derrick couldn’t help but glance at Melody. He was impressed.
The force of the performance had struck Carson in the meantime.
He could only stare at Melody with growing desolation. His eyes were bloodshot, and more and more veins creeped into his reddening eyes.
His throat tightened with emotion, and his slightly swollen eyelids framed two dry, hollow eyes.
When Melody returned to the defense’s side, Carson couldn’t hold himself back any longer. He stepped forward, his voice hoarse and cracking. “Mel, I–I’m sor
“Hey! Shut up!” Melody cut him off sharply and said, “Keep your pitiful act to yourself. Judge, here’s my countersuit.”
Without a shred of sympathy, Melody handed over her legal documents, interrupting Carson’s attempt at an apology. She then turned toward the plaintiffs with a charming, sweet smile, her dimples deepening. almost as if casting a spell.
“And now it’s your turn, my dear defendants, Carson Shield and Suzanna Shield.”
The audience was shocked. What a twist! Unbelievable!
