Chapter 1005 Karma
However, the performance was about to start and he wanted to focus on that, so he put the investigation aside for the moment.
Susan left with everyone else, a big grin curling her lips. So the powder’s working. Let’s see how you like that, b*tch. Good. With her out of the way, the stage is mine.
The event opened its curtains at eight-thirty. Since it was the group’s first show, Kellen came up to give a speech. “Thank you for coming to witness our performance. We hope you’ll be pleased with what we have to offer.” He gave a formal speech and handed the microphone back to the host.
The host hyped everyone up, and the orchestra members made their appearance.
Their opening tune was grandiose and mesmerizing. Every member put in everything they had in order to make a name for their orchestra.
The performance went well. Eventually, it drew to a close, but not just yet as Kellen had given Susan a solo slot. She was the concertmaster and this was her first show after all. Kellen wanted her to perform last and end the event on a high note.
Unbeknownst to him, Susan was the famous Kathleen. He was worried she might be nervous, so he came to assure her, “Just take this as practice and do your best. Don’t think too much about it.”
Susan nodded and answered confidently, “Don’t worry, director. I’m fine.”
And then the host announced, “Let’s welcome the orchestra’s concertmaster, Miss Susan! She shall be giving us a solo performance!” Susan nodded at Kellen and held her dress up a little before she went onto the stage.
Silver light shone on her, making her glimmer like a fairy. Almost all of the audience were stunned by how gorgeous she looked, and they clapped for her. Susan loved being the center of attention. She smiled and bowed to everyone before starting her performance.
She went all in to impress everyone, and things went well at first. Everyone was engrossed by her performance, but then tragedy struck.
Just as they had rehearsed, she would be performing her next tune on the stage lift, but right after she stepped on it, the stage lift started wobbling violently. Susan fell like a rock and broke her hand right there and then.
Instead of a melodious tune, a scream of agony tore through the air, and the audience gasped.
“Oh my god, that was terrifying.”
“She’s not gonna come out well after falling from that height.”
“How did this happen?”
The crowd broke into a discussion, and reporters kept taking photos. Some even tried to get onstage for some steaming hot exclusive photos, but the guards stopped them before they even got close.
Kellen asked someone to take Susan down from the stage. Things are getting out of hand. He took the microphone from the host and tried to keep things under control. “Thank you for your concern, audience members. The performer is fine, and there’s nothing to worry about. We apologize for the shock, however.”
They had reached the time that the event was scheduled to end, so Kellen simply closed the performance after calming the audience down.
Gregory wondered why the event had come to an end, and he frowned. “Mona, why didn’t Mommy show up?”
Mona found it weird as well, but before she could answer, Gregory said, “But it’s fine.” He sounded relieved. “If she had shown up, she would have gotten hurt like that woman.”
Mona agreed.
He continued, “And if she’s hurt, her baby would be hurt. Daddy and I are gonna be super worried.”
Aw, look at the boy. He’s so cute. Mona felt her heart melting.
