With that, the unhappiness in Anya's heart suddenly dissipated. From what happened, Rosie's stupidity was perhaps not so severe as to be completely useless in every situation. At the very least, she still had value during that critical moment!Anya's expression became cheery, and she smiled softly, "Thank you for putting in a good word for me in front of Grandpa!"Rosie then said, "No biggie, Anya! We're the best of friends, so you can bet on me to stop Corinne from succeeding and showing off in your name! That darn b*tch must've pushed you down on purpose earlier so you couldn't go on stage, and she could use that opportunity to show off! Don't worry, Anya, I've already told someone to watch her take off her make-up backstage, and I'll make sure she won't get the chance to say anything to Mister Edgar!"Anya smiled reassuringly and remembered that she was supposed to portray herself as a kind-hearted person. She thus said hypocritically, "Don't say that about Corinne, Rosie. I don'

Edgar had always been extremely indifferent toward Anya, so hearing him speak to her in such a concerned tone overwhelmed her.She nodded obediently and touchingly before saying sensibly, "My injury isn't serious, and I can still sing for you if I really want me to. I know you're very worried about me, and you probably won't be in the mood to listen to me sing right now. I promise to sing for you in the future!"While recovering from this injury, I'll train my voice again and aim to sing 'A Love Entranced' in as perfect a rendition as possible for you and your wife in the future!"Edgar listened to Anya's filial response with an unprecedented look of appreciation. He nodded slightly and said, "Sure. But since you're still going to have to recover from your injury, you must make sure to take extra care. There's no need to strain your voice too much. You've already sung very well today!"His compliment was not simply out of politeness but out of a genuinely objective evaluation. The

Gertrude had a repulsed gaze in her eyes, and she shook her head vigorously while saying, "I want Emily, not her… She's not Emily..."Edgar frowned when he heard that and felt very puzzled. 'Why isn't she recognizing her?'Anya, who had finally gained Edgar's trust only to face such rejection from Gertrude, could not help but feel a little guilty. She looked up, glanced at her best friend Rosie to ask for help, and had the expression of being at a loss to beckon her best friend into helping her.Rosie sensed Anya's signal for help and immediately spoke up for her."It's her, Madam Gertrude! She's the one who played Consort Aileen on stage and performed the opera, but you probably don't recognize her now. She's changed into a different costume and put on a different style of makeup."She was going to sing another piece, which is why she's dressed differently from earlier. Please don't get anxious. Take a deep breath and have a closer look."Edgar also calmed his wife's agitation a

Corinne's lips curled up slightly, and she said to Anya with a smirk, "Miss Anya, I've already taken off Consort Aileen's costume and folded it up on the make-up table backstage. Remember to get someone to collect it from there later."The costume looks so well-made; it seems to be a dress with high-class tailoring. It's best if you could get someone to check the costume and put it away. I won't be responsible if it gets lost or if someone else damages it!"Corinne spoke calmly and nonchalantly, but the atmosphere around her suddenly did not feel right anymore.Anya's and Rosie's expressions stiffened, and they were unsure how to react at that moment. They could only glare at Corinne secretly while anxiously observing Edgar's reaction.Edgar's warm expression had turned cold, and he glanced at Anya sitting in a wheelchair with an innocent face before looking at Corinne, who had already removed her makeup. He then frowned and sank into a pensive silence.Corinne smiled innocently a

Anya tried her best not to look guilty, but her expression was very awkward as she responded to Edgar."Grandpa, I..."Rosie collected her thoughts rapidly and spoke for her best friend.'Don't listen to Corinne's nonsense, Mister Edgar. She couldn't have sung 'Farewell, My Love' earlier. Does she look like someone who could sing opera? She's just an ordinary employee in Lucas's company who came from a poor background in the countryside. She wouldn’t have had the chance to learn opera because her family is so poor!"Rosie then turned to Corinne, glared at her, and belittled her sarcastically."You're just jealous because you saw Anya getting the applause and appreciation from Mister Edgar and the guests. That's why you came over to take the credit and make yourself known!"Do you think anyone will believe your one-sided statement that you were the singer earlier? The other performers can testify that the one who just came on stage was Anya!"Rosie's 'righteousness' made Edgar a

Edgar did not buy her story.Face darkening, he scoffed and said, "She hurt her leg, not her vocal cords. Don't worry. She just needs to sing notes to prove her singing ability. It's not like I'm asking her to do something that'll tire her out."Rosie's eyes wavered. "But—""There's no but!"Edgar was becoming impatient. He ignored Rosie and glanced at Anya sharply before turning to look at Corinne again."So? Which one of you will sing first?"Anya knew it would be hard to get out of it, so she forced a smile and said, "Actually… It doesn't matter who gets to sing first! Corinne, which of us do you think should sing first?"Corinne looked at Anya. Although Anya smiled sweetly, her eyes were filled with guilt and menace. It was obvious she was telling her to get out there as soon as possible so she would not lose the good impression she had given Edgar.Corinne found it laughable. 'Is she really threatening me when her fake image is about to be exposed? As if I'll ever be scare

Again, Edgar did not buy her story.Instead, he asked, "Would someone please get her a glass of water?"Anya was speechless. After drinking the water brought by the servant, she did not come up with any more excuses; she had no choice but to sing.'I've been practicing for a few months, so I should be as good as Corinne…' thought Anya.She sang the same verse as Corinne, but her voice broke at the end, making the audience giggle.Anya was horribly embarrassed. She had never felt so humiliated, so she quickly tried to explain herself. "I'm sorry, Grandpa! My throat is really sore, so—""Oh, really? Your throat is sore, huh?" Edgar heartlessly interrupted her. "You sang so beautifully when you pretended to be Consort Aileen. Do you really take me for an old fool? Do you think I can't tell your voice is totally different from hers?"Anya's eyes reddened. She looked like she was about to cry."No! Grandpa, I'm not lying. It's really because of my sore throat… I…"Edgar frowned and

Chapter 608

Anya—sitting in her wheelchair—dug her nails into her palms angrily when she saw Corinne following Edgar to the study.At that moment, Sunny stepped out from the crowd and asked in confusion, "Anya, why are you in a wheelchair? Rosie, what happened?"Afraid of being asked to check his homework by Lucas, Sunny had been hiding in the family room playing games with his cousins, and by the time he came out, a crowd had already gathered. Not knowing what happened, he immediately went up to see.Rosie was still angry about the whole thing. "That b*tch Corinne pushed Anya down the stair, causing her to twist her ankle. I wonder who's the b*stard who brought her to this party!"Sunny frowned in disbelief. "That's not possible. Rosie, you shouldn't speak nonsense! Corinne would never do something like that."Anya snapped out of her trance and looked up vehemently at Sunny upon hearing his response. The pain in her heart intensified, and there was an unprecedented look of gloominess in her

Sunny was as shocked as anyone. "Damn it! How did this happen? Does Grandpa actually accept Corinne as his granddaughter? Doesn't that make her my 'cousin' then?"At that moment, Anya's face had darkened. Unable to keep up her innocent act, she glared furiously at Corinne.'Screw you, Corinne! Go to hell! You piece of sh*t, Corinne! How dare you steal what should have been mine away from me? If it weren't for you, I would've been the one standing on that stage receiving praise from Grandpa. Corinne, you b*tch! Mark my words, I will make you pay for what happened today if it's the last thing I do!'To prevent herself from exploding in front of others, Anya composed herself and said, "I'm tired. Rosie, take me back to the guest room!"Rosie, too, was furious at Corinne's sudden good fortune, but alas, there was nothing she could do about it. She pushed Anya away from the crowd with the thought of coming up with a countermeasure once they returned to their room.…Corinne followed E

How could Corinne say no to her own grandparents? Not only did they have to bear the pain of losing their daughter and granddaughter, but they even had to endure the loss brought on by Alzheimer's disease.'Mom will definitely be sad to see Grandpa and Grandma like this…' thought Corinne.Sunny rubbed his chin and asked, "Does that mean you're my honorary cousin from now on?"Corinne raised her eyebrow and gave him a side-eye. "Yeah. Are you happy about it?"Sunny lifted up his chin and said arrogantly, "Tsk! What's there to be happy about? It's not like I don't already have a sister of my own."Corinne simply chuckled at his response, turned around, and walked away.Sunny frowned before chasing after her."Hey, where are you going?""I'm going to spend some time with Grandma Gertrude."Sunny lifted his head, puffed out his chest, and matched her stride for stride."Wait for me. I want to go with you."Corinne looked sideways at him. She did not stop him but simply let him b
