Chapter 597
Lucas nodded in relief after hearing what the doctor said. “I see. That’s good to hear.”
Anya had a sudden thought and said, “I’m still a little worried about Corinne’s performance, so since the doctor already checked
my foot and said that I’m fine, I’d like to go and watch it.”
Lucas frowned. “Didn’t you hear the doctor advising you not to walk for now? Be obedient.”
Anya pouted pitifully. “I really want to watch the performance... Please just take me there, Lucas. I just want to have a look.”
Lucas frowned for a moment and said, “Not a chance. Corinne will perform under your guise, so aren’t you afraid that someone
might spot you in the audience?”
Anya was stunned since she had completely forgotten about that point. She wanted to see Corinne make a fool of herself and
show up just in time to prove that the person on stage was someone else instead of her.
“Lucas... I just want to watch her from a distance... We don’t have to be in the audience. We can just watch from a distance...”
All Lucas cared about at that moment was her sprained foot. He did not give her any room for negotiation.
“Don’t be stubborn, Anya. Our priority now is to get the doctor to apply some of the ointment. on your foot. Then you can get
some rest and recuperate.”
“But, Lucas...”
Anya called out for Lucas coquettishly, and tears filled her eyes again.
Lucas frowned and did not give in.
When Edmund saw the stalemate between Lucas and Anya, he thought momentarily before. stepping forward and saying, “Miss,
you need to listen to your brother and have a good rest. go there and stream it live from my cell phone for you to watch. That
way, you can see her performance from here.”
I’ll
Anya was not too happy when she heard that, but as soon as she saw her brother’s unyielding expression, she felt that
Edmund’s idea was pretty good and decided to settle for the next best option.
She then nodded and said, “Okay... Thank you for the trouble, Edmund.”
Edmund replied respectfully, “No thanks necessary. It’s no trouble.”
Anya had always given off the vibe of being approachable and understanding, so almost everyone who knew her believed she
was a genuinely humble and angelic girl. Everyone who had met her had a positive impression of her and liked her a lot,
including Edmund.
Lucas did not stop Edmund either. He merely looked at his once well-behaved younger sister, who was becoming more and
more troublesome, and he had mixed feelings as his eyes narrowed slightly. There was even a touch of irritability and lethargy
between his brows.
Backstage, Corinne has already done her makeup and put on her outfit.
Rosie looked at Corinne’s appearance after having make-up and could not help but feel that Corinne was more charming than
Anya. As a result, Rosie felt even more disgusted and jealous, prompting her to lash out angrily, “Remember to give it your all
and sing well once you go on stage. Don’t embarrass Anya!”
Corinne looked in the mirror, cocked her eyebrow, and looked at the domineering-looking Rosie, “I’ve already told you that I’m
not very good at singing, but you insisted on letting me replace Miss Anya on stage. If you’re worried I’d embarrass myself, I
might as well not take the stage at all!”
Rosie became anxious again. “You... Your makeup’s done, so why are you arguing about it at this sort of time? The other
performances have already started, so what do you expect the other performers to do if you don’t come on stage soon?”
Corinne stood up slowly, “Well, that’s true, but didn’t you say that I’m supposed to go on stage and sing ‘A Love Entranced’? Why
am I dressed like Consort Aileen? Why am I wearing the dress she wore when she sang ‘Farewell, My Love!?”
Rosie brushed her question off by saying, “Anya is still wearing the dress for ‘A Love Entranced’, and it’s inconvenient for her to
take it off after her foot was injured. You have no choice but to sing ‘Farewell, My Love’! It’s not like they’re any different. Why are
you still being picky when you’re supposed to help fill in?”
Corinne sighed worriedly. “Guess I’ll have to make a fool of myself on Miss Anya’s behalf then!
As soon as she listened to the drum beat from the front, she took a deep breath to prepare herself before reluctantly stepping
onto the stage.
As soon as Corinne went on stage, a triumphant smile unfurled across Rosie’s face as she waited in anticipation to see how
badly Corinne would perform. Rosie left the backstage area expectantly and went to the audience to witness the best part of the
performance.
