Chapter 594
Haille stared at Ellinor, “Don’t you get it? I need you to step in for Patricia and finish the performance”
Ellinor frowned ‘Me, replace her on stage? What’s the point?”
Haillie confidently replied, “There’s a point, alright! We all have to slap on makeup for the stage anyway, and with all that gunk on your face, who can tell who are you? So you Just go on stage, finish Patricia’s bit, and we can pretend it was Patricia performing for the old man, no one will know!
Upon hearing Haillie’s suggestion, Patricia thought for a moment, quickly realizing her intentions.
This was just Haillie’s sneaky way of setting Ellinor up for an epic fail.
There was no way someone like Ellinor, with her background, could pull this off.
Her upbringing and life circumstances had never given her a chance to learn how to perform. Once on stage, she’d definitely botch it, and old Mr. Bagley just couldn’t stand people butchering his beloved tunes.
Patricia had put a lot of effort into this birthday gift for today, practicing for a long time just to get on old Mr. Bagley’s good side.
But, judging from old Mr. Bagley’s attitude towards her today, no matter how well she could sing, she wouldn’t win his approval. If she didn’t meet his standards, she’ll only earn his disdain
So Patricia had no intention of going on stage in the first place, instead, she wanted to use this opportunity to pin the blame on Ellinor for her absence, making Balfour mad and kicking Ellinor out on the spot.
Patricia noticed that ever since old Mrs. Bagley mistook Ellinor for her daughter, old Mr. Bagley had been entertaining the idea of treating Ellinor like a granddaughter
If Ellinor took Haillie’s advice, stepped in for Patricia, and butchered old Mr. Bagley’s cherished songs, he’d definitely be pissed and completely abandon the idea of treating Ellinor like a granddaughter.
With this in mind, a sinister glint flashed in Patricia’s eyes If she couldn’t win old Mr. Bagley’s approval, then this bitch Ellinor sure as hell wouldn’t either!
She didn’t reject Haillie’s suggestion and just pretended to be worried, “Haillie, won’t this be too hard on Ellinor?”
Haillie just shrugged, “What’s so hard about it? It’s just singing a song Patricia, your foot is all messed up; there’s no way you can perform, let Ellinor do it”
Patricia, lying in Balfour’s arms, looked helplessly at Ellinor, “So, Ellinor, could you help me?”
“No”
Ellinor decisively rejected Patricia’s request, then turned to Haillie, “If all you need is someone to stand in for Patricia and deliver the birthday gift to the old man, then Haillie, why don’t you go on stage yourself and help your dear friend?”
Haillie’s face turned ugly, and she blinked nervously, “I never learned, I can’t do it!”
Ellinor found this amusing, “Haillie, you think just because you can’t do something, why should I?”
Haillie started arguing. “Even if you can’t, you’d still do better than me. I’m a dancer, so I can’t sing for peanuts. I need to stay off stage to take care of Patricia; I can’t take her place!
