Chapter 185
“Mr. Gregory knew how much Old Master Nigel liked listening to the opera, so he spent a big sum of money to hire a prima
donna to sing at the banquet. But her apprentice just told me that the prima donna has food poisoning and won’t be able to go on
stage!”
Matt was worried. “What should we do? We set up the stage tonight just for her performance. But now, it has to be canceled. Old
Master Nigel will be disappointed, and the guests will laugh at us.”
“No, they won’t.”
Bella looked calm and confident as she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Matt. I won’t let the guests laugh at us.”
‘Us.’ Justin was touched when he heard this.
Even if they had not finalized the divorce, they were no longer husband and wife. However, Anna was still willing to stand up for
the Salvador family and solve their problems as before.
All of this was just so Nigel could have a nice birthday banquet.
“Ms. Brown, what’s your idea?” Matt was overjoyed when he heard her say this.
“Uncle Matt, where’s the backstage? Please take me there.”
After that, Bella left Justin and hurried away with Matt.
Justin looked at her delicate figure and clenched his fists in despair. He felt like he could not breathe when he thought of her
teary eyes earlier.
In the backyard, a stage was set up and decorated with props.
The guests at the bottom of the stage were enjoying themselves and congratulating Old Master Nigel on his 80th birthday.
Nigel liked being surrounded by his family. He also invited Asher and Ryan to sit at his table. Their empty spots were quickly
filled out.
Only Rosalind was left at the guest table alone. This was another way to show her and
everyone that she was not welcome in the Salvador family.
Rosalind was so angry that she sat there stiffly. Her teeth itched with hatred because no one cared about her,
At this time, her phone buzzed, It was a message from Shannon.
[You must seize opportunities for yourself. If you just sit back and wait, you will always become a laughingstock!]
‘Laughing stock? No, I won’t!’ Rosalind clutched her cell phone tightly. Her carefully drawn eyebrows were raised, and her gaze
was sinister.
Rosalind thought, ‘Tonight, I will make Anna pay a thousandfold for how she had humiliated me in the past!’
“Eh? Where’s Justin and Anna?” Nigel looked around and could not see his favorite couple.
As soon as Nigel said this, Justin appeared with a glum face and sat next to Ryan.
Ryan shuddered. He felt like his friend, who was exuding a chill, looked so terrifying, as if he had just gone to the underworld.
“Justin, where is Anna?”
Nigel frowned in displeasure. “Don’t you know how to look for her? Why are you so neglectful?”
Justin pursed his thin lips. His mind was in a mess, so he did not answer his grandfather.
“Old Master Salvador, I think that Anna got lost since it’s her first time here. I’m going to look for her.”
Asher was about to stand up when Justin said coldly, “I don’t think that’s necessary. This is also your first time here, Mr.
Thompson, so you may not be able to find her and get lost yourself. What’s more, I know where she is, so you don’t have to
worry.”
Ryan was stunned. He almost tipped over his wine glass. He thought, ‘Wow! What the hell is happening right now?’
Two equally outstanding men were silently confronting each other.
Asher’s clear eyes narrowed slightly with a fleeting chill.
At this time, the music played, and the red curtains on the stage parted.
The laughter in the audience gradually subsided, and everyone focused their attention on the stage.
At this moment, a graceful and charming performer in a costume and full makeup floated over to the center of the stage.
Justin looked at the beautiful woman and thought that she looked familiar.
At this moment, Matt returned to Nigel’s side.
“Oh, the performance is about to start! Why is Anna still nowhere to be seen?” Nigel was a theater fanatic, but he was not
interested in watching the show without Anna.
“Old Master, Ms. Brown is right there.”
As he said that, Matt pointed to the stage with a smile. “Look, isn’t that her?”
Everyone was shocked.
Justin stood up abruptly, scaring everyone.
His chest heaved violently as he stared blankly at the beauty on the stage. His heart tingled as if he had been electrocuted.
