Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 375 Waking From Heartache 1 

In a hall at Barnwood’s theater, the Royal Academy of Music’s anniversary celebration was ongoing.

The piano, Morning Dew, was on the stage.

Apparently, Ludweig once played this piano, and Henry had bought it as a gift for the woman he loved. Therefore, everyone was waiting for Crystal’s upcoming performance.

Many familiar faces were seated below, including Charles, Madison, Zachary, Clementine, and Robert.

After Henry’s investment in Sloan Group, Sloan Group’s business improved. Finally, Robert was a man with a career, and now, he had learned to let go.

He brought Sylvester over to watch Crystal play the piano.

Not far from him was Clementine, who could not help but turn to look at him. No matter how promiscuous she was, the one she truly loved was Robert.

Alas, Robert ignored her.

Clementine gritted her teeth and sneered.

So what if he likes Crystal? Everything will be over soon, and I, Clementine Dynah, will get everything!

With that thought in mind, Clementine lifted her chin slightly and quietly waited for the events to unfold.

The lights slowly dimmed, and a white silhouette walked over to the piano to sit before it.

The applause was thunderous.

Clementine clapped, too. She even had a smile on her face. Soon, that beautiful white dress would be stained red with blood. No one would think that she was involved.

The melodious notes of the piano soon came, but the piece being performed was not the one that Crystal had chosen.

It was Moonlight Lovers.

When the lights slowly returned, everyone finally caught a glimpse of the pianist and was stunned.

As it turned out, the one playing the piano was not Crystal but Henry.

He was dressed in a white suit and playing the piano elegantly beneath the chandelier. No one knew that Henry could play the piano so well.

While everyone was immersed in his marvelous performance and did not mind the change in pianist, Clementine’s face was as white as a sheet.

No, this can’t be! Why is Henry there?

She raised her head to look at the steel wire holding the chandelier in place. The chandelier had started to sway, and in no time, the wire was going to snap.

She wanted to cry out a warning, but she could not make any sound.

Intense fear inundated her.

If anything happened to Henry, the Millers would definitely do everything to look into the case. Clementine would end up six feet under.

Clementine shot upright.

Just then, the chandelier began to sway.

Henry could have avoided it, but he remained seated as he played the piano, unfazed.

It was as if his fingers were not caressing the piano but his lover.

Finally, the wire snapped.

The chandelier fell with a loud crash, and everyone screamed.

Yet, the white silhouette continued to sit on the chair, and the performance never ceased.
