Chapter 606
Old Mr. Bagley didn’t show any sympathy He scrunched his brows and said, “She hurt her foot, not her throat! A couple lines of singing would just prove her ability Don’t worry, she won’t wear herself out
Haillie was on the fence, “Uh”
“Enough with your excuses! Old Mr. Bagley was clearly over it and didn’t bother with Haillie anymore. His icy gaze swept over Patricia and then Ellinor.
“Sing! Which one of you is going first?”
Patricia knew she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She put on a brave face, smiled, and said, “Well, it doesn’t really matter who goes first! Ellinor, who do you think should start?”
Ellinor looked at Patricia, who was smiling but seemed to have eyes that were filled with fear and threats. Clearly, she was warning Ellinor not to spill the beans, or else!
Ellinor found this amusing Patricia’s reputation was on the brink of ruin, and she was still trying to scare her?
Whispers started to spread among the guests.
“Whose kid is that? How dare she try to steal the limelight from Ms. Howard?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen her before!
“She claimed that she sang the part earlier, is that true?”
“I highly doubt it Ms. Howard has always been talented, it’s not surprising she can sing so well.”
“Yeah! That performance was probably something Ms. Howard practiced specifically for Old Mr. Bagley’s birthday. As for the girl we’ve never seen before, who knows whose daughter she is? She’s probably just trying to steal credit and suck up to Old Mr. Bagley.”
“Girls these days are so cunning, and they don’t even think! Old Mr. Bagley isn’t someone you can fool easily. Look, he’s making her prove herself by singing on the spot! She’s probably scared out of her wits!
Amid the chatter, Ellinor calmly said. “Ill go first then.”
She wasn’t going to let Patricia get her way, she was going to show Patricia that she couldn’t just pretend to be someone else! Especially when that person was her beloved
mother!
Ellinor cleared her throat gently and then sang a line with her clear voice
It was a challenging line, as lively as the one sung by the person on stage earlier.
The onlookers impressions of Ellinor changed instantly
Old Mr Bagley already knew the truth, he admired Ellinor, and his doubts were completely cleared, but he still gave Patricia a cold look.
“Ms. Mendoza’s performance is over, it’s your turn now Start your performance!”
Patricia felt extremely embarrassed and forced a couple of laughs. She reluctantly prepared to start, but just as she was about to, she pretended to have a sore throat and stopped to make an excuse. “I may have gotten too carried away performing earlier, my throat feels a bit dry, I’m afraid I might not be able to perform.”
