Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 616
Cordelia was shocked and hurriedly peered at the corridor by the lake.
Everyone else was looking for the source of the voice as well.
Orchestra music for the opera was then played through the surrounding speakers.
Only a few young people were interested in operas, so they thought that it was a performance arranged by the Kanes.
But, the elderly guests were familiar with operas.
'Isn't this the prelude to The Flower Pavilion?'
Even if it was just one note, the voice of the soprano was as smooth as silk. Anyone who listens to operas often could tell that
the person had a strong skill foundation like Lancelot Lewie.
'But, how is this possible?' Cordelia thought.
It was widely known in the elite circle that Cordelia was a fan of operas and that her favorite opera singer was Lancelot.
It was not just Cordelia, however. Lancelot also had a lot of fans among Rivera's elites.
But, ever since he retired from the scene, he never sang again in public.
No matter how much money was offered, Lancelot never made an exception for anyone, even when he was asked by his friends
and relatives.
When he sang, even if he was not the leading role, the ticket prices were cheaper than a pack of cigarettes. He would sing seven
to eight operas a day without delay. When he stopped singing, even if the pay was at an ungodly amount, he would never give in
either.
It was due to this principled personality of his that everyone saw him as a respectable artist.
So, even if the crowd thought that the voice was similar to his, they still believed that it was impossible for it to be him.
Lancelot was recognized as the nation's first-class artist, who was reputable for both his skills and morals. Even the Kanes of
Rivera had no impact on him since he got his salary from the government's financials, he basically did not need to be subservient

to anyone.
As the music went on, two rows of backup dancers wearing servant costumes appeared from the corridor that was covered by
greens. Behind them was an actor in a gown with a crown on his head. He was wearing delicate makeup as well as a smile.
The backup dancers took light steps and moved outward slowly until they exited the corridor. They then spread out in two
splayed arches, and at last stood in a row, with the actor dressed as a female opera singer in the center.
The opera singer held a fan in his right hand and waved the long sleeve in his left hand. Accompanied by the music, he looked
up in the direction of the crowd.
His eyes were soft, and he had a graceful posture. The crowd was already gasping in awe at his few motions.
The moment he sang once more, everyone was shocked.
'It really is Lancelot Lewie!'
'Who invited him?'
The crowd's gaze fell upon the two daughters-in-law of the Kane family.
'Since they were the ones who organized the birthday celebration, one of them must have arranged this performance.'
'Cordelia admired Lancelot, and they managed to invite him here. Of course she will reward them, right?'
'I wonder who was the one that was capable of this.'
Dahlia watched the performance with a serious expression. If eyes could kill, she would have already kicked Lancelot into the
lake.
Mrs. Chapman and Lancelot's wife were classmates. To invite Lancelot, Dahlia spent a lot of money to ask Mrs. Chapman to
build up a good relationship with his wife.
Time after time, they did get closer.
Mrs. Chapman then mentioned the intention to invite Lancelot to Cordelia's birthday party, but Mrs. Lewie rejected it right away.

Back then, Lancelot retired from the scene because the fatigue was taking a toll on his health. His wife urged him into early
retirement.
To honor his promise, Lancelot never performed on stage again.
So, his wife could not break Lancelot's own promise.
