Chapter 591
Ellinor just ignored her and continued on her way
Haillie, stomping her heels in annoyance, caught up and tried to stop her, “Ellinor, you can’t have Theo, and you can’t have Balfour either! With your poor background, the best you can hope for is to marry some rich guy from a small town. Don’t be under any illusion that one day you could marry into a wealthy family! Can you get real and stop eyeing me and Patricia’s boyfriends?”
Without hesitation, Ellinor nodded, “Sure, I promise. Can you move now?”
Haillie was taken aback, feeling like she had thrown a punch into thin air. “Ellinor, what’s with your attitude?”
“I agreed to your request, aren’t you satisfied?”
“Haillie, Ellinor, what are you guys arguing about?”
Patricia’s gentle voice interrupted them.
Ellinor and Haillie both turned towards the source of the voice.
They saw Patricia dressed in gorgeous clothes and heavy makeup, almost absolutely unrecognizable.
Haillie said, “Patricia, aren’t you about to perform for old Mr. Bagley? Why are you here?”
Patricia replied. “Haillie, I’m so nervous. I wanted to go to the bathroom before going on stage. I heard your voice when I came out, so I came over to check. Why are you and Ellinor arguing?”
Haillie shot a glance at Ellinor, not wanting to upset Patricia before her performance, so she said, “Patricia, it’s nothing. We were not arguing. You should focus on your performance now!”
“That’s good!” Patricia smiled and turned to Ellinor, “Ellinor, I’m going to perform on stage now! This is the gift I’ve prepared for my grandfather, and I’ve been practicing for a long time! Ellinor, how do you like my outfit?”
Ellinor looked at her and smiled slightly, “Mm, it suits you.”
Patricia had always loved acting, so she should be good at singing too.
“Really? Theo also said I look pretty” Patricia’s eyes were full of joy. “Ellinor, let’s go! I’m about to go on stage now. Would you and Haillie like to come and listen?”
Ellinor naturally had no interest in going, but Haillie didn’t want to disappoint her friend, so she decided to accompany her. She shot a glance at Ellinor, then took her by the arm and led her away, “Let’s go! Patricia invited you, don’t refuse!”
The last sentence was whispered into Ellinor’s ear so that only she could hear it.
Haillie actually didn’t want Ellinor to wander around alone at the Bagley’s and snoop around. So she made sure to keep her close to prevent her from getting near Balfour. She felt safer with Ellinor in her sight.
Ellinor frowned, not wanting to go, but now that she was on Haillie’s radar, she couldn’t snoop around the Bagley’s anymore, so she didn’t resist.
As the three girls were descending the stairs together, Patricia suddenly tripped and tumbled down the stairs.
“Patricia Haillie cried out in shock, rushing down to help her, “Patricia, are you okay?”
