Chapter 22: A Slap in the Face

The surrounding air became condensed, and everyone turned to look at the delicate and petite figure.

They couldn't believe that this sentence came out of her mouth.

One million... to buy a hand!

So cool!

Danielle's heart trembled. She stared tightly at the person in front of her and said, "You... how dare you! I warn you not to mess around!"

"Is that so? Look at me. Dare I?" Cheyenne took three steps and approached quickly, grabbing Danielle's fair wrist.

She gave it a hard squeeze.

A crisp "crack" could be heard, the sound of bones being dislocated.

It sends shivers down one's spine.

In an instant, Danielle's fair face turned purple and distorted due to the pain.

"Cheyenne! You bitch! I'll kill you!"

Her hand!

Her hand really couldn't move, her entire palm felt like it wasn't hers anymore. The pain was excruciating even with the slightest movement.

"Is that so? Do you have double standards? Besides, with your hand being worth a million, shouldn't you be happy?"

Danielle was infuriated by her words and shouted back sharply, "I only scratched the back of his hand! But you twisted my wrist!"

"It's a fair price. You offered ten thousand but I gave you a million. And do you know who he is?"

The people around them all listened attentively and wondered who exactly the handsome young man was.

Then Cheyenne's proud voice rang out loudly in Danielle's ear.

"He's Benson Gibbs!"

The air almost fell silent for a second before someone excitedly exclaimed, "Isn't he the one who became famous at fifteen as a pianist and won the Chopin International Piano Competition at eighteen?"

That name was well-known.

A genius teenager who became famous at fifteen years old and was invited to be a professor at Udan Royal College of Music when he turned eighteen. He even played for the Queen on her sixtieth birthday.

But in recent years, this talented youth had disappeared without anyone knowing what happened to him.

No one could have imagined that he had lost his sight.

Three years ago, Benson was supposed to participate in another piano competition where his skills would have easily earned him first place.

Unexpected things happened. Cheyenne accidentally got poisoned, and Benson gave up the competition to save her. Even now, three years later, Cheyenne still feels heartbroken and wants to cry when she thinks about it.

If this young man is really Benson, then scratching his hand is undoubtedly a heinous act! His hands are priceless.

Danielle was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped. She had slightly parted lips and felt a chill down her spine.

"No! It's impossible! How could a blind man be Benson Gibbs? If he's Benson, then I'm Lola Harper."

Lola Harper, the globally famous genius singer. With one song "He's Like A God", she became popular all over the world with an influence no less than that of genius Benson.

However, this Queen of Love Songs is extremely mysterious. She never participates in programs or interviews. Every time she appears, it causes a sensation. Her trademark is the silver fox mask.

Because of her, there was also a wave of mask fashion trend and cosplay became one of the mainstream cultures in fashion circles.

For the past three years, Lola's agency announced to the public that she was focusing on writing lyrics and would not be making any appearances for the time being.

That's why Danielle drew a lot of criticism when she compared herself to Lola

"Who does she think she is to compare herself to my idol? Have you seen her looks?"

"Not only that, but her nouveau riche attitude falls short compared to my goddess!"

"She's so delusional. Can't even see how ugly she is."

As Benson and Cheyenne started getting angry, fans nearby began hurling insults at Danielle.

She stood there bewildered and innocent. "I... I just wanted to say he's not really Benson."

But once her words came out of her mouth, a man's voice sounded from behind.

"Mr. Gibbs, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you would actually accept my invitation and come listen to some music."

Everyone turned around in surprise.

A foreign man dressed in a black tuxedo walked over wearing a long tailcoat with a white shirt and red bowtie. He wore a wide-brimmed black hat as he elegantly approached Benson.

He took off his hat and placed it on his chest before giving him a gentlemanly bow.

"Mr. James, no need to be polite. I came with a friend," Benson extended his hand and greeted him.

The way they talked to each other shocked everyone around them! This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Mr. James is the world-renowned opera artist featured in magazines. He even called this blind man "Mr. Gibbs"!

It meant that the young man was really the world-famous talented pianist Benson Gibbs.

Mr. James also saw Cheyenne standing beside Benson and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Lo..." When Mr. James breathed the first syllable, Cheyenne immediately interrupted him by reaching out to shake hands with him and saying with a smile, "I'm Benson's friend. My last name is Lawrence."

Obviously, this straightforward foreigner didn't understand why Cheyenne wanted to hide her identity as Lora.

But when in Rome do as the Romans do. He didn't expose her lie.

"Three years ago, thanks to Mr. Gibbs' guidance, he helped me revise my piece of music. Otherwise, 'Don Juan' wouldn't be a hit."

This traditional classical music was popular in the past but would seem somewhat depressing if played today. Benson simply changed the combination of instruments inside it and broke down its more difficult parts into simpler ones.

The style of this piece remained unchanged but became more fluid which left people intoxicated by it after listening to it.

After becoming famous worldwide, Mr. James had always wanted to thank Benson, so that's why he chose Benson's country for the final stop of his global tour.

Benson was the one who wrote "Don Juan", which excited many opera lovers even more.

The male god stood right in front of them!

In comparison, Danielle's face was pale and bloodless.

'It was all Cheyenne's doing. She intentionally set me up!' Danielle thought indignantly.

"Now, do you still think your broken wrist for one million is a loss?" Cheyenne turned around and looked at her, lips curling into a mocking smile.

"Just wait, I won't let you get away with this!" Danielle said angrily before turning around and leaving in embarrassment.

"Just a friendly reminder, if you don't get your hand fixed soon, it might be useless in the future. Hahaha." Cheyenne laughed loudly like a fox who had stolen grapes.

Although everyone should hate someone like her for breaking someone else's wrist, they inexplicably found it cool. Especially after finding out that Benson was the one injured by Danielle Parry, their view of Cheyenne changed drastically.
