The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 600
Anya was being kept under close watch after Lucas arranged for someone to ensure she was resting and recuperating in the
room. Her face had turned pale, and the expression on her innocent and angelic face became incredibly distorted.
She had watched Corinne’s performance of ‘Farewell, My Love’ through a video call with Edmund her brother’s subordinate-and
the result left her surprised, astonished, and jealous. Corinne’s performance was not as terrible as she expected. On the
contrary, it was so breathtaking that the guests in the audience applauded her!
‘How is this happening?! How could Corinne-a woman who was born in the countryside-be able to sing an opera that well? She
can sing better than me even though I’ve been practicing secretly for a few months! Damn it! This isn’t the result I wanted!’
What Anya had expected was Corinne to butcher the very essence of opera with terrible singing. As a result, it would trigger
Edgar into chasing her away due to his anger from the performance!
Alas, Corinne’s performance was so amazing that she would have received even more appreciation from Edgar.
‘Damn it!’
Had she known that Corinne would be so good at singing, she would never have agreed to let the woman go on stage to replace
her in the first place.
‘It would’ve been better for me to ask my brother to get Corinne to leave so that such an unfortunate turn of circumstances would
not happen!’
Anya immediately regretted her decision.
At that moment, Rosie knocked on the door and came in. She looked at Anya in distress and asked with sincere concern, “How’s
your foot? What did the doctor say after checking up on you?”
After seeing her best friend enter the room, Anya immediately changed her expression to a smile and replied, “Don’t worry,
Rosie. The doctor says I’ve just got a minor sprain. It’s nothing serious. I’ll be fine with a bit of rest.
Rosie then nodded reassuringly, “Sure. I’m just worried that your foot would be severely injured by that scheming Corinne!”
Anya’s smile soured at the mention of Corinne’s name, but she still maintained her temper in front of Rosie despite being very
dissatisfied with her.

It was all Rosie’s fault for suggesting that Corinne go on stage to sing in her place. Without that, Corinne would not have had a
chance to perform at all.
There were times when her idiot of a best friend caused more trouble than good!
Rosie did not realize her best friend’s repulsion toward her and said instead, “Mister Edgar sent me here to invite you over and
meet him. He said that he had something to tell you!”
Anya, who was still very much angry about Corinne stealing the limelight, was stunned momentarily. Surprised, she sought
confirmation and asked, “What? Grandpa wants to meet me to tell me something?”
Rosie nodded. “Yes! He liked the performance so much that he wants to meet ‘Consort Aileen’ in private!”
Anya frowned softly and blinked in surprise. “But isn’t ‘Consort Aileen’ supposed to be Cor-”
Rosie knew that Anya was going ask, ‘Isn’t Consort Aileen supposed to be Corinne?’, so she immediately interrupted her
sentence and said, “Consort Aileen is you, Anya! Did you forget that Corinne performed as you earlier? I’ve already told Mister
Edgar that you’re the singer who played Consort Aileen and that it was your carefully-prepared birthday gift for him. The ‘
Consort Aileen’ that Mister Edgar wants to meet is you, of course!”
Having heard what Rosie said, Anya suddenly realized that she had been so angry at Corinne’s wonderful performance earlier
that she forgot that Corinne performed under her name.
