Faced with Carson’s aggressive questioning and knowing that Melody did indeed make a mistake, Derrick lifted his eyes and glanced at the girl across from him, who was casually filing her nails without a care in the world. His frustration was growing.
“Melody, do you admit to your guilt?” Derrick asked coldly, pressing her for an answer.
Realizing that she hadn’t responded to his earlier proposition, he added. “If you’re willing to accept my terms, apologize and quit the music scene.”
“I won’t quit! And I won’t apologize, either! Since Suzzana is so familiar with Night Bloom Nocturne, why don’t we let her perform it live? By now, the fans on the live stream must be tired of our back–and–forth. If she’s the original composer, she must know it well, right?”
Melody’s lazy yet assertive voice filled the room as she met Suzzana’s tear–filled eyes.
Derrick frowned, and he instinctively refused, “Suzie’s hand is injured.”
Mélody raised an eyebrow, and a playful smile lit her face.
She argued, “If I remember correctly, didn’t Suzanna play a piano piece on the variety show called Weekend Vibes last month?
Upon hearing those words, Carson glanced at Suzanna with skepticism. He had seen her fall down the stairs and injure her hand.
Since then, she hadn’t touched the piano.
Though they were both in the entertainment industry. Suzanna pursued acting while Carson focused on music.
Their managers always tailored their gigs to fit their separate careers
He hadn’t paid much attention to her musical activities, and he didn’t notice Suzanna was playing piano again.
Suzanna’s panicked. She had thought that after Melody took her place and married off to the Moores, there would be no chance of Carson ever noticing her again.
Now, it seemed Melody was still paying close attention and catching her off guard.
Luckily, she had long studied the sheet music and mastered Night Bloom Nocturne.
The Moon Begonia fan club erupted with excitement.
“Hahaha, our Suzie is so talented! Ten years of piano training! Last time she played on the variety show,

by having Suzie play a piece on the piano, it’ll clear her name and keep her out of jail?”
Suzanna lowered her gaze, doubt flashing in her eyes. She hesitated to agree to playing the piece.

She knew all too well how cunning Melody could be, having already experienced her tricks during the Golden Financial Summit.
Her instincts warned her–this was a trap.
Melody spoke again, “Suzanna, for three years, you lied to Carson, who claimed your hand had been injured and you couldn’t play piano. Yet you performed on a variety show when he wasn’t paying attention. What are you hiding? If Night Bloom Nocture is your original work and you’re afraid to play it yourself, doesn’t that raise some questions?”
Suzanna wasn’t one to fall for a simple provocation, but Melody’s words carried weight.
Melody lowered her gaze again, a faint smile playing on her lips.
She silently counted down in her mind. Three, two, one
“Mel, stop with the cryptic remarks. Suzie can play, and she plays well! Suzie, I’ll have them prepare the best piano right away. It’s been a while since I last heard you play. I’m really looking forward to this performance,” Carson added in displeased.
If Melody was so insistent on setting herself up for embarrassment, he’d let her lose, fair and square.
Suzzana was speechless. You don’t have to do that!
She bit her pale lips, her eyelashes trembling. She was so tense that she could’ve broken a tooth from clenching her jaw.
But she couldn’t show anything on her face. She had to smile softly, nod obediently, and say, “Sure, Carson. I’ll do whatever you say.”
Yet, deep down, Suzanna’s suspicion only grew.
What exactly was Melody planning?
She had to stay on guard.
