Chapter 593


    “Yes, sir!”


    Anya struggled stubbornly in Lucas’s arms, and tears started to well up


    in her eyes.


    “No… I’m fine, Lucas! I need to perform! I’ve already told Grandpa I’ve prepared a special gift for his


    birthday. He’ll be very disappointed in me if I don’t show up onstage. You know how long I’ve taken to


    prepare this gift, Lucas…”


    Lucas frowned and chastised, “Be a good girl, Anya! I’ll exin the situation to Grandpa for you.


    Nothing is as important as your health right now, so stop making such a big fuss!”


    Anya cried, “No, Lucas! I don’t want to! I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time! I don’t want to


    give up now… Let me go, Lucas! I want to go on stage! I want to perform! I swear I’m fine…”


    Anya iled about, hindering Lucas from moving forward. Nothing he said could persuade her, and


    there was nothing he could do about her situation.


    Rosie looked at the situation, feeling worried about her best friend’s injury and the headache that her


    dream man Lucas had to face. She got angrier with every passing thought, and once her rage had


    reached its peak, she went over and shoved Corinne forcefully, causing thetter to stagger several


    steps.


    “You’re the cause of all this, Corinne! Look at what you’ve done to Anya. You’ve made all of Anya’s


    sacrifices go to waste, and you need to take responsibility for this!’


    Corinne stood firm, brushed the spot Rosie touched, and said, “Miss Rosie, I hope you’ll be more


    respectful with your words and how you carry yourself. I refuse to entertain baseless usations, and I


    won’t take responsibility for something I did not do.”


    Her continued refusal to admit her wrongdoings angered Rosie to the point of wanting to push her a


    second time.


    However, Corinne seeded in calmly avoiding her.


    Rosie failed to ce her hand on Corinne and almost fell face-t to the ground!


    “H-how dare you avoid me?! Anya hurt her foot because you pushed her down! You’re the reason she


    can’t perform now, and you’re still being so smug with me?”

    Lucas stared coldly at Corinne with mixed feelings of gloom and anger. He kept quiet for the time being


    and focused entirely on his sister’s injury. Corinne sensed Lucas’s condemning gaze and felt like


    laughing when she saw Anya’s stubborn refusal to deal with the injury.


    Other people could not see it, but Corinne could tell that Anya was simply putting on an act to make


    Lucas feel heartbroken for her. That way, Lucas could get angry at Corinne and chase her


    away.


    “I didn’t push Miss Anya. You can call the police if you don’t believe me and let them Investigate the


    situation. I have no issues cooperating with an investigation, but I won’t ept this unfounded me to


    be put on me.”


    Rosie snorted coldly. “No evidence, you say? Just because there aren’t any surveince cameras here


    doesn’t mean you can get away with it! I’m a witness, and the police will ept my testimony when


    they’re here! You wanted me to call the police, didn’t you? Well, just wait! I’ll do just that!”


    Corinne remained calm and fearless while waiting for Rosie to call the police. However, Anya stretched


    out her hand while she was still in Lucas’s arms, saying, “Don’t call the police, Rosie. Corinne probably


    didn’t mean to do it, and I don’t want there to be any trouble at Grandpa’s birthday party, especially not


    when it would be an embarrassment to everyone. Just forget it and put your phone away.”


    “But, she…”


    Rosie knew that Anya had a good point since calling the police at the old man’s birthday party would


    only ruin the moment. Even so, she was unwilling to let that damned Corinne leave just like that.


    Despite her aggrievance, Anya insisted, “Could you juste here and persuade Lucas to let me go? I


    need to go on stage. If I can’t make it, then…”


    Lucas’s expression sank, and he hugged the injured Anya tightly to keep her from moving.” Anya!”


    Anya continued to insist on going onstage despite the injury, and Rosie felt sorry for her best. friend


    and was just as worried about her as Lucas was.


    All of a sudden, an idea popped up in Rosie’s mind, and she said with a smug expression, You’re the


    reason for Anya’s injury, so since she can’t go onstage, Anya might be kind enough to let you off the


    hook if you can help salvage the situation!”


    Corinne cocked her eyebrow and asked curiously, “Salvage the situation? How?”
