Chapter 599
Upon hearing Edgar’s words, Gertrude-whose mental state faltered slightly-went blank. momentarily. She
suppressed her urge to rush up and hug her ‘daughter’, nodding quietly.” Yes, we can’t interrupt her when she’s so
focused on her singing. Emily doesn’t like to be interrupted…”
At the end of the pieces, the actors left the stage after a curtain call. Gertrude watched as her ‘ daughter’ left her
sight, and her mood started spiraling out of control as she got up anxiously to try and get on stage to chase after
her daughter.
Edgar had anticipated she would do that, so he grabbed his wife just in time and said, “Don’t go anywhere,
Gertrude. Emily won’t leave again.”
After comforting his wife, he turned around and instructed the servants waiting beside him, ” Get ‘Consort Aileen’ to
come here right away!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, sir.”
The servant responded and went immediately.
Upon seeing that, Rosie-who had just snapped back to her senses-suddenly had a bad feeling. She initially wanted
Corinne to make a fool of herself in public, but she never expected Corinne to be that good of a singer who even
received the approval of Edgar and Gertrude. The old couple even wanted to meet her!
Rosie could not let that happen. Edgar was very satisfied with Corinne’s performance, and he would have a good
impression of her if he knew she was ‘Consort Aileen’. That would only fuel Corinne’s ambitions to advance her
social status.
Having considered that, Rosie immediately stepped forward and feigned a smile as she intervened, “Didn’t you
notice, Mister Edgar? The opera singer who played Consort Aileen earlier was Anya! She worked incredibly hard just
to give you this special gift!”
Edgar was startled to hear that. ‘Did I hear her correctly?! ‘Consort Aileen’ was played by Anya? I didn’t notice it at
all!’
Suddenly, Edgar remembered the so-called ‘special gift’ Anya had mentioned she had prepared for him. She
mentioned that it was something he would almost certainly love.
As it turned out, the gift she prepared was that performance.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Edgar’s eyes after discovering that ‘Consort Aileen’ was Anya.
Nevertheless, he smiled with appreciation and said softly, “Well, she was very considerate to prepare this gift. It
isn’t easy for one to train their voice that well.”
At this time, Gertrude-who was already a little anxious because she could not meet her’
daughter’-asked impatiently, “Edgar… Why hasn’t Emily come here yet? Please find her. I want to see her…”
Edgar briefly comforted his wife before telling Rosie, “Please tell her to come over. Let her know that I have
something to say to her.”
Rosie smirked and nodded, “Okay, sir! I’ll get Anya to come and meet you right now!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRosie hurried backstage and happened to run into Corinne. She stood angrily in front of Corinne and said, “Stop!
Where do you think you’re going?”
Corinne had not had the time to remove her makeup and costume yet, so she replied plainly, ” Someone just
informed me that Mister Edgar wanted to meet the singer, so I’m going over right now.”
Rosie stared at her disdainfully, “What business do you have meeting him? Don’t forget that. you just took Anya’s
place, and Mister Edgar wants to meet Anya. The person he saw on stage. was Anya-not you. Don’t you take this
opportunity to make a name for yourself!”
Corinne raised her eyebrows nonchalantly. “Are you saying that I don’t need to meet him?”
Rosie snorted arrogantly. “No, you don’t. You have no right to! Just stay here and don’t go. anywhere. It’s none of
your business! Anya will be going to meet the man!”
Corinne shrugged indifferently. “Sure. I’ll remove my makeup since I don’t need to go!”
After finishing her words, she turned around, yawned, and returned to the dressing room to remove her makeup.
Rosie frowned unhappily and had a particular disdain for Corinne’s arrogance. As she glanced at Corinne’s back in
disgust, she turned to look for Anya and intended to ask her best friend to become ‘Consort Aileen’ and meet
Edgar.
