Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 617
Dahlia boiled with rage as soon as she heard that. 'What a waste of my time! He told me straight up that he can't perform!'
Then, she figured that Cyrene would also try to ask Mrs. Lewie. But, it's impossible that Mrs. Lewie would risk offending her by
saying yes to Cyrene.
When she thought about that, she felt more at ease.
Since both of them were unable to invite Lancelot, then they would have to depend on their respective capabilities to be at the
center of attention.
Who would have expected Lancelot to be present?
Dahlia looked at Mrs. Chapman with an unpleasant expression.
Mrs. Chapman did not accomplish the task assigned to her, so she was not too happy either. She could not voice out her
troubles, but she still consoled Dahlia and said, "It definitely wasn't Cyrene who invited Lancelot. Mrs. Lewie won't reject me
because of Cyrene. We were pretty close in school back in the day.
"If it wasn't Cyrene, then who was it?" Dahlia was upset. "You couldn't even do a simple task right!"
Mrs. Chapman nearly had a heart attack.
'Is this a simple goddamn task?'
'Do it yourself then!
'You pushed the task onto others, but still threw a tantrum when it's not done?'
Mrs. Chapman only dared to keep her complaints to herself. She had too many things that needed her to depend on Dahlia. So,
she just looked down and suppressed the anger in her eyes. "It won't happen again."
Dahlia was sullen but stayed silent.
Cyrene's brows were also furrowed.
Jackson asked, "Mom, how did you manage to invite him?"

"I didn't," Cyrene answered in a low voice. "I got rejected by Mrs. Lewie. I didn't even manage to meet Lancelot."
Jackson was surprised. "Who is it then, if it isn't you?"
'Aunt Dahlia's face is longer than a horse's. If it was her, she wouldn't be looking like this now,' Jackson thought.
Cyrene did not reply. She was also curious about who was capable enough to invite Lancelot.
Everyone was guessing who invited him, and only Cordelia was happily listening to Lancelot's live performance of The Flower
Pavilion. It was a dream come true for her, after all these years.
After the song was over, Lancelot took off his heavy costume and makeup with the help of his assistant, Felicity, and others. He
changed into a plain colored shirt and came toward Cordelia under the company of others.
"Mrs. Kane, happy birthday," Lancelot said as he took a gift box from his assistant and gave it to Cordelia. "I wish you
blossoming health, and may you have today’s glory forever."
Apart from his feminine soprano voice when he was performing, Lancelot had a warm and soothing masculine voice.
He did not have the arrogance of a national opera star. Without makeup, he looked like a middle-aged man with a pretty face,
and his manners were also quite pleasing.
Cordelia was beyond ecstatic about having her favorite opera singer perform on her birthday, and he even gave her a birthday
gift. She smiled so much that her eyes creased into countless wrinkles. She behaved like a fangirl who had just met her idol and
kept asking Lancelot questions and feeding him food.
Mrs. Wood heard everyone's discussions and thought that it was Dahlia who had invited Lancelot. "Lancelot must be touched by
Dahlia's affection to agree to perform on stage," Mrs. Woods praised. "Mrs. Kane, you're so blessed to have a daughter-in-law
like Dahlia."
However, Dahlia's eyes twitched.
After what Mrs. Wood said, everyone thought that it was Dahlia who had invited him.
Since Mrs. Wood was fairly close to Dahlia, everyone thought that what she said must have been correct, so they praised along.
Dahlia put on a weird expression, not knowing whether to admit or deny it.

Felicity followed Lancelot over to them and heard them flattering Dahlia. She could not help but shout, "Lancelot was invited by
my Stella. It's none of Dahlia's business!"
