Chapter: 1227

Amy queried, "What is your relationship with Nora?"

“One might say she's my mentor. I specifically came here for her today," Ethan replied.

Ethan smiled and added, “And consequently, we stumbled upon this incident."

Just then, the event's organizer returned to the backstage area with the bodyguards.

"We've inspected the piano on stage, and there were no issues when the previous contestant finished her performance," the organizer explained.

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, knowing that if this major stage accident became public, it would tarnish the reputation of the entire music hall.

Seeing the blades and blood on the piano moments ago nearly caused him to faint from shock.

He had observed Nora complete her performance, which implied she had endured the pain while playing the piano for thirty minutes.

The bodyguard displayed the video to Amy. Upon seeing the blood- stained piano keys, her legs weakened, and she collapsed onto the sofa.

"Whoever placed those blades are utterly heartless!" she exclaimed.

The blades were razor-sharp and would easily slice into the skin upon contact. Amy had noticed the deep cuts on Nora's hands, injuries sustained before she realized the blades were there.

The organizer, his voice trembling, stated, "We are currently reviewing the surveillance footage. The individual responsible will be identified shortly."

With a contestant seriously injured, the organizer sometimes wished he could faint just to avoid the stress of dealing with the situation.

He had been the one to suggest altering the performance order and was now bearing the brunt of the blame for the contestant's injury.

Ethan raised his eyebrows with a mischievous grin. “Are you searching for someone? Why didn't you come to me for help?"

Previously, before he could finish his words, the organizer had suddenly interrupted him.

Amy, distressed by the day's events, was still puzzled about Nora's acquaintance with Ethan. Upon hearing his question, she quickly responded, “Ethan, can you assist us?"

All eyes turned to Ethan, who then pointed towards the woman restrained by his men.

“She is the one responsible for placing the blades on the piano," he declared.

The revelation shocked everyone.

The organizer immediately approached her and identified her on sight.

"That's Sallie Hilton, primarily in charge of maintaining the instruments," he confirmed.

Before Ethan and his entourage entered, someone spotted Sallie, who was bound, among his bodyguards. However, since no one recognized her, everyone remained silent.

At that moment, Sean's phone rang. T had sent him the surveillance footage.
