Chapter 959:

Before he could finish, Sallie shook with fear.

“I have an old score to settle with Sheryl. | did this just for revenge. Nora's injury was an accident.”

Sallie's eyes darted around as she spoke, making it obvious she was lying.

“I didn’t expect Nora to go on stage early. By then, it was too late to stop her!”

Sallie believed her act was flawless, her words beyond reproach, convinced that she would sway her audience.

“Nora, please, letgo,” she pleaded earnestly—the only truthful words she spoke. Yet, her poor deception

skills meant that nobody was convinced.

Phillips response was swift and chilling. He seized her by the neck, lifting her off the ground. His eyes were icy

as he spoke. “It seems you don’t appreciate this opportunity.”

From the sidelines, the organizer protested vehemently, “Lynching is illegal! Sir, please put Sallie down

immediately.” Struggling for breath, Sallie's face flushed a deep red. She clawed at his grip, but it was futile. She

gasped for help, her voice barely a whisper. “Help... help...”

However, her pleas fell on deaf ears, particularly with Amy, who seemed inclined to teach Sallie a lesson

personally.

Meanwhile, Nora felt a sharp pain in her finger, a sudden, alarming urge to end Sallie herself surfacing. She was

shocked by her own violent impulse.

As Sallie's eyes rolled back, Phillip finally released her. He watched coldly as she collapsed to the floor, coughing

and gasping for air. His tone was stern. “You know I'm not joking. This is your last chance.”

“I-I'll tell you everything,” Sallie managed to stammer between breaths, shaken by the suffocation. “It was Cade

Newman—he instructedto do it.”

The organizer's demeanor shifted instantly to one of apprehension.

Sean's voice cut through the tension, cold and direct. “Why would he ask you to do that?”

“He paidto put blades in the piano. | did it for the money. | don’t understand it myself,” Sallie confessed, her

previous tale of revenge against Sheryl dissolving into a mere fabrication. “He only askedto place the

blades. I don’t know his reasons,” she insisted, her voice trembling with fear.

Indeed, the competition order had been abruptly changed last minute—could Cade have anticipated that?

“I'm telling the truth. Please, don’t call the police.”

As Sallie pleaded, the police arrived, escorting a screaming Sallie out the door.
