Chapter 320 The Real Culprit Is on the Ship

"Oh? Is that so?"

Jersey looked at the two women in turn and asked curiously, "I wonder what kind of performance you two have prepared?"

"Let's have a talent competition! I lost to Miss Linsey in shooting last time, but today, we'll have a more refined competition. How about that?"

Petunia was unwilling to accept her previous loss to Cecelia and wanted to use this opportunity to win back her honor.

"I wonder, Miss Taylor, what kind of competition do you have in mind today?"

Cecelia understood Petunia's personality. Petunia wouldn't give up easily unless she was convincingly defeated.

The conversation didn't require microphones, so the audience below had no idea what they were discussing.

Confidently, Petunia smiled and suggested, "Since today is a celebration, let's have something entertaining. How about a piano performance?"

If martial skills didn't work, she could try her hand at the arts. Petunia had been studying the piano since childhood and had reached a master's level. It would be difficult for most people to surpass her.

Cecelia remained silent, her gaze fixed on Petunia. Petunia, assuming that Cecelia was afraid, turned to Jersey and said, "Mr. Bowman, Miss Linsey has no objections. So, could you please arrange a piano for us?"

Playing the piano was not an issue, and Jersey knew that Cecelia could also play. He glanced at Cecelia and asked, seeking her opinion, "Cecelia, are you okay with this?"

"No problem."

Cecelia shook her head, and Jersey immediately signaled to the emcee, instructing him on what to do.

The emcee raised the microphone and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, the banquet has concluded. Now, please proceed to the performance hall upstairs. Before the performance begins, we have a spectacular fireworks display for your enjoyment."

Jersey invited Cecelia and Petunia to prepare in the performance hall. Other guests also left the banquet hall one by one. Remington noticed that Cecelia followed Jersey, so he and his friends stood up as well.

The performance hall upstairs was even more luxurious in its décor. Several waiters had already placed a grand piano in the center of the stage. Jersey brought the two women here and allowed them to test the piano's sound.

"I'll go first!" Petunia stepped forward, seizing the opportunity.

Cecelia stood not far away, and as the waiters who had just placed the piano walked past her, one of them whispered something to her inaudibly.

"Miss Cecelia, it's nice to see you again."

Cecelia was momentarily stunned when she heard the voice and, once she realized who it was, her heart raced.

Was it the voice of Black Hawk?

If she hadn't misheard, it was indeed Black Hawk's voice!

Could it be that Black Hawk had infiltrated tonight's banquet as well?

If he was back for revenge, his primary target would undoubtedly be Remington!

With these thoughts racing through her mind, Cecelia's heart raced. She turned and, holding up her gown, hurried after the waiter.

Coincidentally, Winnie, who had come upstairs from below, noticed that Cecelia and a male waiter had entered the same room one after the other. Suspicion arose in her mind. Could it be that Cecelia was seeking excitement with another man in secret?

If that were the case, it would be an opportunity to reveal her true nature and let all the men on the ship see how promiscuous she was.

Curiosity piqued, Winnie followed, ready to catch them in the act.

Cecelia personally witnessed the waiter entering the employees' restroom and she went in to look for him. After entering, she didn't find any trace of the waiter. The room was empty, except for a white cloth covering something on the floor.

Noticing bloodstains on the white cloth, Cecelia widened her eyes in shock as she lifted the cloth to reveal a horrifying sight.

A waiter leaned against the wall with a dagger plunged into his chest, and his white shirt was soaked in blood. Cecelia cautiously checked his breath and found that he was already dead.

It was almost certain that this dead waiter was not the one she had been chasing just now!

If her suspicions were correct, it had to be the work of Black Hawk!
