Chapter 605
Anya tried her best not to look guilty, but her expression was very awkward as she responded to Edgar
“Grandpa, I...”
Rosie–collected her thoughts rapidly and spoke for her best friend.
“Don’t listen to Corinne’s nonsense, Mister Edgar. She couldn’t have sung Farewell, My Love‘ earlier. Does she look like
someone who could sing opera? She’s just an ordinary employee in Lucas’s company who came from a poor background in the
countryside. She wouldn’t have had the chance to learn opera because her family is so poor!”
Rosie then turned to Corinne, glared at her, and belittled her sarcastically.
“You’re just jealous because you saw Anya getting the applause and appreciation from Mister Edgar and the guests. That’s why
you came over to take the credit and make yourself known!
“Do you think anyone will believe your one–sided statement that you were the singer earlier? The other performers can testify
that the one who just came on stage was Anya!”
Rosie’s ‘righteousness‘ made Edgar a little skeptical. He frowned and asked, “Which one of you sang Farewell, My Love?”
Before Corinne and Anya could answer, Rosie spoke up again.
“It was Anya, of course! You shouldn’t listen to Corinne’s nonsense because of her questionable character. She works for Lucas
but doesn’t put any effort into her work. All she does is seduce men to try and climb the social ladder!
“She tried and failed to seduce Anya’s boyfriend, Jeremy, and she failed again when she tried to seduce Lucas! I don’t know
what’s with her, but she came here today to seduce and deceive other men!
“Wait here. I’ll have someone gather the other performers to prove that the one who appeared on stage for Farewell, My Love‘
was Anya!”
Before long, Rosie sent someone to call the performers over. As expected, Rosie had spoken with them beforehand, so they all
insisted that the one who sang ‘Farewell, My Love” was Miss Anya. That was also why Rosie was so confident in sending
someone to call them over there.
Corinne did not bother to explain, so she simply smiled and shrugged. “Sure. Then, just treat what I said as a lie. If there’s
nothing else, I’ll happily take my leave.”
Rosie secretly smiled triumphantly. “You think you can play dirty with me? Keep dreaming if you think you can steal the limelight
from Anya! You’d better scram!”
However, Edgar did not completely forgo his suspicions and narrowed his sharp eyes to tell Corinne,” Wait. Don’t go just yet!”
Corinne stopped again. “Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?”
Rosie became a little when she heard that and interjected, “Mister Edgar, why do you need to ask her to stay when it’s been
proven that she’s lying? Just tell her to get lost!”
Edgar glanced at Rosie with a stern gaze. “People can lie, but their voices can never liel Since both claim they sang ‘Farewell,
My Love‘, let’s have them sing a couple of lines for me. I can tell who the real singer is by their voice!”
Anya, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, faced yet another crisis. Her face was stiff, but she tried her best to maintain her
composure and pinched her best friend’s hand, whose plan backfired severely.
Rosie could sense Anya’s grudgingness and began to panic. She did not expect things to end up that way. so she hurriedly said,
“Mister Edgar, Anya’s sprained her foot, and the doctor told her to rest. I’m afraid she won’t be able to sing anymore.“
