Chapter 835 - She... Shouldve Been Dead (2/2)

Caroline was cornered by Danny Swann, who condemned her as a gold digger, while, on the other hand, London Schneider, who had been very sweet to her the day before, now treated her like a plague. Caroline really hoped that the earth could open up and swallow her right away.

The look on the people's faces around her made her even more ashamed and frustrated. London then raised his hand and gave a signal for Marc to enter the ballroom. The big tall man immediately approached London and bowed his head slightly.

”Yes, Sir. What should I do?” he asked politely.

”I want you to contact the police. There is an incident of violence here. Also, the suspect of a murder ... The police must come immediately and arrest these criminals,” said London in a disgusted tone. For a moment, his face turned toward Caroline and gave her a sharp look.

When Danny Swann realized that he was cornered, he immediately turned around and was about to run out of the ballroom. However, Marc had quickly elbowed him and tripped his feet, so the man fell to the floor with a loud thud. He promptly grabbed Danny's collar and forced him to stand.

”Is this person the one who wants to kill Madam?” Marc asked in a stiff voice.

London nodded slightly. ”That's right. These bad guys are the culprits.”

John Wendell was very surprised when several burly men approached him and forced him to get up and sat him in a chair.

”Hey, what are you doing? I'm a guest here !!” he said in a hoarse voice holding back his anger.

Caroline's fate was not much better. She was also pulled by female security staff and forced to sit on a chair.

”Wh ... what's going on? Why are you treating us like criminals?” Caroline exclaimed in panic. ”We are the guests here ... You were not like this last night ...”

”You will find out for yourself soon,” he said curtly. His gaze was then directed to the stage, and a formally dressed MC asked the audience in the ballroom to return to their respective tables.

”Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We apologize for the slight commotion ... Please go back to your respective tables. We will continue the program.” The MC raised his hand and smiled soothingly. ”The police will come soon to deal with this commotion. You don't need to worry, now the situation is well controlled by the Schneider Group security team. Let us watch the performances of the next artists who will perform to entertain you all. We have worked hard to invite her. .. Please, calm down. ”

The guests all politely returned to their tables. The lights were deliberately turned off so that no one would notice the commotion on John Wendell's desk. Soon, the atmosphere had calmed down.

”Very well. Thank you for your cooperation. I hope you will be entertained by the delicious food served by our chefs and also by various interesting performances earlier. After we had watched a classical music performance followed by contemporary dance and several other performances ... Well, next we have one special appearance.” The MC seemed very eager to give an introduction to the next artist, so the guests present began to become curious. ”Let's welcome our guest star tonight ... She is a newcomer artist but has had so many fans in such a short amount of time. She is famous for her beautiful enchanting voice. Please welcome... Elle !!”

The stage was dimmed, and two seconds later, two floodlights shone in the center of the stage, showing a tiny woman who was standing elegantly holding a microphone. Her voice was enthralling like a siren's voice, making everyone stunned in their respective tables.

If the people in the ballroom were watching the performance on the stage in awe, some people who saw L' appear suddenly became horrified.

”This ... can't be ...” whispered Danny Swann in surprise. ”She should've been dead ...”
