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!”

“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!”

Rosie 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.
