Chapter 333


    “Sir…”


    Chloe got back to the banquet hall and found Rose pretty stered. Her face was conspicuously


    flushed and she had this charming, slightly dazed look about her.


    “How much have you had to drink?” Chloe frowned


    Rose justughed, “Tve run into a lot of old ssmates Been having such a good time, I guess I


    overdid it a bit.‘


    Chloe sighed, “We’ve got dorms provided tonight. If you’re wasted, you better not move around.”


    “Alright.”


    Just then, the host on stage announced, “Now, let’s give a warm round of apuse for Ms. Keira


    from Pulse Entertainment. She’s going to kick things off by performing for us.”


    Soon after, Keira hobbled up onto the stage, her dress in tow.


    Chloe watched as Keira sat gracefully at the piano amidst apuse. Her heart ached, and her eyes


    twitched involuntarily. She quickly turned away.


    Nobody’s immune to the sting of giving up something they love.


    Rose saw Chloe’s reaction and felt a pang of sympathy. She rarely saw this side of Chloe. To most


    people, even to Rose sometimes, Chloe was made of steel, able to face anything.


    But she wasn’t invincible. She could be hurt too…


    All because of that woman, Keira!


    The piano began to y, the melody was beautiful…


    “Ha… a home wrecker ying the piano, how disgusting”


    Rose might have been drunk, but she began to make her way to the front.

    “Rose…”


    Chloe quickly grabbed her, “What are you doing?”


    1 can’t hear it. I need to get closer!”


    Chloe managed to stop Rose. She knew what Rose was up to.


    “Rose, you’re drunk. Don’t make a scene…”


    Chloe tried to lead Rose away, but suddenly the music stopped!


    “Huh? Why’d it stop?”


    “I have no idea!”


    In a moment, Keira stood up from the piano, picked up the mic, and with a regretful look said, “I’m


    sorry, everyone. I twisted my ankle on the red carpet. It’s a struggle to use the pedals. If I force


    myself to continue, the piece won’t be perfect. That would be disrespectful to you and to the


    music… I’m really sorry. On behalf of Pulse Entertainment and the Summers family, I apologize!*


    After her apology, she bowed to the audience. When she straightened up again, her beautiful face


    was full of guilt and frustration. Her eyes scanned the crowd andnded on Chloe’s back. After a


    moment, she awkwardly looked away, her gaze falling on Amelia Schneider.


    Amelia seemed to catch her meaning, pondered for a moment, and said, “You’re not the only


    representative of the Summers family here tonight. Your sister Chloe is here, isn’t she? Let her


    finish your performance!”


    As soon as Amelia finished speaking, many people turned their attention to
