Chapter 593

“Yes, sir!”

Anya struggled stubbornly in Lucas’s arms, and tears started to well up

in her eyes.

“No… I’m fine, Lucas! I need to perform! I’ve already told Grandpa I’ve prepared a special gift for his

birthday. He’ll be very disappointed in me if I don’t show up onstage. You know how long I’ve taken to

prepare this gift, Lucas…”

Lucas frowned and chastised, “Be a good girl, Anya! I’ll explain the situation to Grandpa for you.

Nothing is as important as your health right now, so stop making such a big fuss!”

Anya cried, “No, Lucas! I don’t want to! I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time! I don’t want to

give up now… Let me go, Lucas! I want to go on stage! I want to perform! I swear I’m fine…”

Anya flailed about, hindering Lucas from moving forward. Nothing he said could persuade her, and

there was nothing he could do about her situation.

Rosie looked at the situation, feeling worried about her best friend’s injury and the headache that her

dream man Lucas had to face. She got angrier with every passing thought, and once her rage had

reached its peak, she went over and shoved Corinne forcefully, causing the latter to stagger several

steps.

“You’re the cause of all this, Corinne! Look at what you’ve done to Anya. You’ve made all of Anya’s

sacrifices go to waste, and you need to take responsibility for this!’

Corinne stood firm, brushed the spot Rosie touched, and said, “Miss Rosie, I hope you’ll be more

respectful with your words and how you carry yourself. I refuse to entertain baseless accusations, and I

won’t take responsibility for something I did not do.”

Her continued refusal to admit her wrongdoings angered Rosie to the point of wanting to push her a

second time.

However, Corinne succeeded in calmly avoiding her.

Rosie failed to place her hand on Corinne and almost fell face-flat to the ground!

“H-how dare you avoid me?! Anya hurt her foot because you pushed her down! You’re the reason she

can’t perform now, and you’re still being so smug with me?”

Lucas stared coldly at Corinne with mixed feelings of gloom and anger. He kept quiet for the time being

and focused entirely on his sister’s injury. Corinne sensed Lucas’s condemning gaze and felt like

laughing when she saw Anya’s stubborn refusal to deal with the injury.

Other people could not see it, but Corinne could tell that Anya was simply putting on an act to make

Lucas feel heartbroken for her. That way, Lucas could get angry at Corinne and chase her

away.

“I didn’t push Miss Anya. You can call the police if you don’t believe me and let them Investigate the

situation. I have no issues cooperating with an investigation, but I won’t accept this unfounded blame to

be put on me.”

Rosie snorted coldly. “No evidence, you say? Just because there aren’t any surveillance cameras here

doesn’t mean you can get away with it! I’m a witness, and the police will accept my testimony when

they’re here! You wanted me to call the police, didn’t you? Well, just wait! I’ll do just that!”

Corinne remained calm and fearless while waiting for Rosie to call the police. However, Anya stretched

out her hand while she was still in Lucas’s arms, saying, “Don’t call the police, Rosie. Corinne probably

didn’t mean to do it, and I don’t want there to be any trouble at Grandpa’s birthday party, especially not

when it would become an embarrassment to everyone. Just forget it and put your phone away.”

“But, she…”

Rosie knew that Anya had a good point since calling the police at the old man’s birthday party would

only ruin the moment. Even so, she was unwilling to let that damned Corinne leave just like that.

Despite her aggrievance, Anya insisted, “Could you just come here and persuade Lucas to let me go? I

need to go on stage. If I can’t make it, then…”

Lucas’s expression sank, and he hugged the injured Anya tightly to keep her from moving.” Anya!”

Anya continued to insist on going onstage despite the injury, and Rosie felt sorry for her best. friend

and was just as worried about her as Lucas was.

All of a sudden, an idea popped up in Rosie’s mind, and she said with a smug expression, You’re the

reason for Anya’s injury, so since she can’t go onstage, Anya might be kind enough to let you off the

hook if you can help salvage the situation!”

Corinne cocked her eyebrow and asked curiously, “Salvage the situation? How?”
