Chapter 607
Old Mr. Bagley wasn’t buying Patricia’s act. “Someone, get her a glass of water Let’s soothe that throat of hers.”
Patricia fell silent
After drinking the water brought by the Bagley’s servant, Patricia was at a loss for words and started singing
She had been practicing for months, so her voice should’ve been on par with Ellinor’s
She and Ellinor sang the same lyrics, but she cracked on the final note, sparking a wave of snickers from the crowd.
Patricia’s face was a mix of embarrassment and mortification like never before. Trying to explain herself, she said, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. My voice is hoarse from singing that’s why I don’t sound like myself”
“Really” Your voice is hoarse?” Old Mr. Bagley interrupted her coldly, his voice dripping with sarcasm I remember when you were pretending to be a performer just now, your throat was fine! You think I can’t tell that your voice isn’t the same as before?”
Patricia’s eyes grew moist and she looked like she was about to burst into tears, “No, Grandpa. It’s just that my throat was a bit tense and it made me sound different. I wasn’t lying! It was really me”
Old Mr. Bagley scowled, his voice was now even colder, “Hmm! You still have the cheek to deny your mistake! The one thing I detest most in my life is lying. Now leave! Go back to your Howard family! Don’t you dare call me grandpa again or step foot into the Bagley’s residence! Don’t even mention any kinship with the Bagley’s, I dont have a granddaughter like you
Ms Howard didn’t expect the consequences to be so severe and she immediately burst into tears, “Grandpa… I was wrong. I admit my mistake… I was originally going to sing for you myself, but I let Ellinor take over because I sprained my ankle. This performance was meant to celebrate your birthday.”
Haillie also hurriedly chimed in, “Yes! Old Mr. Bagley, Patricia really did prepare this present for you; she just didn’t expect her foot to get injured by Ellinor.”
“Enough! Are you two still trying to pull a fast one on me? You think that just because I’m old, I can’t tell the difference?” Old Mr. Bagley coldly interrupted them, looking very
angry.
Patricia’s eyes were full of tears, she still wanted to defend herself, but she didn’t dare to speak, “Grandpa.”
Old Mr. Bagley ignored her.
Ellinor gave a slight smile and left feeling relieved once she saw that old Mr. Bagley was no longer being deceived by Patricia and Haillie.
She came to reveal Patricia’s true colors, not to steal the limelight or be praised, those things were irrelevant to her.
She just couldn’t bear to see old Mr. Bagley and old Mrs. Bagley being fooled and exploited by Patricia, so she intervened.
Now that the problem was solved, she could leave with peace of mind.
“Hold on, Ms. Mendoza, don’t leave yet.”
Old Mr. Bagley’s steady vorce came from behind again.
Ellinor stopped in her tracks when she heard her name. She turned around, tilting her head slightly, and asked politely, “Old Mr. Bagley, is there something else you need?”
Old Mr. Bagley looked at her with satisfaction and his stern tone had softened considerably. “Come with me to the study, I have something wanting to discuss with you.”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow in confusion, pondering for a moment before nodding, “Alright.”
She didn’t want to acknowledge their kinship for now to avoid complicating things. But she couldn’t bear to refuse the elderly Mr. Bagley’s request, so she decided to listen to what he had to say
