Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 896

Her lips twitched, like she wanted to say something, but every word felt trapped in her throat, refusing to come out. Her whole body shook like a leaf caught in a storm. Her hands and face were still smeared with Barrett's blood, dark and sticky, reeking of something foul. She sat there, utterly dazed, as if she’d been shocked into silence.

Suzanne, on the other hand, was quite satisfied with Claire's reaction. She wore a look of sweet revenge, her smile wide and triumphant. "This is my special gift to you, Claire. Enjoy it," she said with a smirk. Straightening up, she turned to the butler and nearby staff, “Make sure she doesn’t harm herself,” she instructed before leaving the theater.

The doors shut behind her, but inside, the lights stayed bright. Claire remained seated, cradling Barrett's lifeless body, frozen as if she were trapped in a never-ending nightmare.

Suzanne returned the next day. As she approached, the haunting sound of a melody greeted her ears. Entering the theater, she found Claire on stage, engulfed in her performance, dressed in a dramatic costume, singing with every fiber of her being. Next to her lay Barrett’s decaying body, a stark contrast to her lively presence.

Claire's every move was executed with startling precision, her long sleeves fluttering in the air as her piercing, mournful voice echoed across the empty theater. The butler hurried toward Suzanne, whispering, “Madam, she seems out of her mind.”
