Chapter 591
Corinne turned a deaf ear to Rosie and continued to walk forward.
Rosie, in her high heels, caught up with Corinne and lashed out harshly, “You failed to win Jeremy’s heart, Corinne, and you’ll fail
to win Lucas’s heart too! Someone as poor as you can probably only marry those nouveau riches in the countryside.
“Quit dreaming about winning the hearts of these rich men! Can’t you look at yourself and stop trying to snatch away my man or
Anya’s man?”
Corinne nodded curtly. “Fine! No problem! Can you get out of the way now?”
Rosie was speechless because of how little of an effect her words had. “What’s with the attitude, Corinne?”
“Didn’t I already promise you I won’t snatch the men you’re after? What else do you want me to do?”
“You-”
“Rosie, Corinne,” Anya’s tender voice interjected, “What are you two arguing about?”
Corinne and Rosie looked in the direction of the voice simultaneously and saw Anya dressed in a gorgeous costume. Her
exquisitely done hair and makeup made her look somewhat unrecognizable at first glance.
Rosie asked, “Aren’t you going to go on stage and perform Mister Edgar’s favorite part? Why are you here?”
“I’m too nervous, Rosie,” Anya said, “I decided to go to the bathroom before coming up. I heard your voices when I came out of
the bathroom, so I came over to see why you and Corinne were arguing.”
Rosie glared at Corinne but did not want to affect Anya’s mood before the performance and said, “It’s nothing. We weren’t
arguing. You should get ready for your performance!”
“I’m glad to hear that!” Anya smiled.
She then looked at Corinne and asked, “I need to prepare for my performance soon! My gift to Grandpa is a performance of his
favorite piece, ‘A Love Entranced’. I’ve been practicing for a long time for this day! What do you think of my appearance?”
Corinne looked at her and smiled. “It does suit you very well.”
‘You’re such a good actress, so it shouldn’t be a problem!’
“Really? Well, Jeremy said that I look amazing too! I actually wanted your help in deciding whether to sing ‘Farewell, My Love’ or
‘A Love Entranced’, but you weren’t there, so Jeremy chose ‘A Love Entranced’ for me. I honestly prefer ‘Farewell, My Love’
because of Consort
Aileen’s character, but Jeremy thought the piece was a little too sad to be sung at my grandfather’s birthday banquet. What do
you think?”
Corinne looked indifferent, “I don’t know much about these things, so you should just listen to Mister Jeremy.”
Anya’s eyes were filled with happiness. “Okay! You should head over, Corinne. I’ll be performing soon, so maybe you and Rosie
can watch my performance with each other.”
Corinne was not interested in the slightest, but Rosie did not want to ruin her best friend’s expectations. She glared at Corinne
before pulling her away.
“Off you go. You’d better not be ungrateful now that Anya invited you!” Rosie whispered into Corinne’s ear in a voice that only
Corinne could hear!
Rosie’s main reason for bringing Corinne with her was to ensure that Corinne did not run around by herself and start prying for
information from the Lovelaces. It would also stop Corinne from getting a chance to hit Lucas up, and keeping Corinne under
close watch would always be the safer option!
Corinne frowned and did not want to go, but she did not resist because Rosie had been following her the entire time, making it
difficult to inquire about the Lovelaces.
As the three of them walked down the stairs together, Anya suddenly stumbled and fell down the stairs.
“Anya!”
Rosie was startled and immediately ran over to help.
“Are you okay? Anya...”
