Chapter 597


    Lucas nodded in relief after hearing what the doctor said. “I see. That’s good to hear.”


    Anya had a sudden thought and said, “I’m still a little worried about Corinne’s performance, so since


    the doctor already checked my foot and said that I’m fine, I’d like to go and watch it.”


    Lucas frowned. “Didn’t you hear the doctor advising you not to walk for now? Be obedient.”


    Anya pouted pitifully. “I really want to watch the performance… Please just take me there, Lucas. I just


    want to have a look.”


    Lucas frowned for a moment and said, “Not a chance. Corinne will perform under your guise, so aren’t


    you afraid that someone might spot you in the audience?”


    Anya was stunned since she hadpletely forgotten about that point. She wanted to see Corinne


    make a fool of herself and show up just in time to prove that the person on stage was someone else


    instead of her.


    “Lucas… I just want to watch her from a distance… We don’t have to be in the audience. We can just


    watch from a distance…”


    All Lucas cared about at that moment was her sprained foot. He did not give her any room for


    negotiation.


    “Don’t be stubborn, Anya. Our priority now is to get the doctor to apply some of the ointment. on your


    foot. Then you can get some rest and recuperate.”


    “But, Lucas…”


    Anya called out for Lucas coquettishly, and tears filled her eyes again.


    Lucas frowned and did not give in.


    When Edmund saw the stalemate between Lucas and Anya, he thought momentarily before. stepping


    forward and saying, “Miss, you need to listen to your brother and have a good rest. go there and


    stream it live from my cell phone for you to watch. That way, you can see her performance from here.”


    I’ll


    Anya was not too happy when she heard that, but as soon as she saw her brother’s unyielding


    expression, she felt that Edmund’s idea was pretty good and decided to settle for the next best option.


    She then nodded and said, “Okay… Thank you for the trouble, Edmund.”


    Edmund replied respectfully, “No thanks necessary. It’s no trouble.”


    Anya had always given off the vibe of being approachable and understanding, so almost everyone who


    knew her believed she was a genuinely humble and angelic girl. Everyone who had met her had a


    positive impression of her and liked her a lot, including Edmund.


    Lucas did not stop Edmund either. He merely looked at his once well-behaved younger sister, who was


    bing more and more troublesome, and he had mixed feelings as his eyes narrowed slightly. There


    was even a touch of irritability and lethargy between his brows.

    Backstage, Corinne has already done her makeup and put on her outfit.


    Rosie looked at Corinne’s appearance after having make-up and could not help but feel that Corinne


    was more charming than Anya. As a result, Rosie felt even more disgusted and jealous, prompting her


    tosh out angrily, “Remember to give it your all and sing well once you go on stage. Don’t embarrass


    Anya!”


    Corinne looked in the mirror, cocked her eyebrow, and looked at the domineering-looking Rosie, “I’ve


    already told you that I’m not very good at singing, but you insisted on letting me rece Miss Anya on


    stage. If you’re worried I’d embarrass myself, I might as well not take the stage at all!”


    Rosie became anxious again. “You… Your makeup’s done, so why are you arguing about it at this sort


    of time? The other performances have already started, so what do you expect the other performers to


    do if you don’te on stage soon?”


    Corinne stood up slowly, “Well, that’s true, but didn’t you say that I’m supposed to go on stage and sing


    ‘A Love Entranced’? Why am I dressed like Consort Aileen? Why am I wearing the dress she wore


    when she sang ‘Farewell, My Love!?”


    Rosie brushed her question off by saying, “Anya is still wearing the dress for ‘A Love Entranced’, and


    it’s inconvenient for her to take it off after her foot was injured. You have no choice but to sing ‘Farewell,


    My Love’! It’s not like they’re any different. Why are you still being picky when you’re supposed to help


    fill in?”


    Corinne sighed worriedly. “Guess I’ll have to make a fool of myself on Miss Anya’s behalf then!


    As soon as she listened to the drum beat from the front, she took a deep breath to prepare herself


    before reluctantly stepping onto the stage.


    As soon as Corinne went on stage, a triumphant smile unfurled across Rosie’s face as she waited in


    anticipation to see how badly Corinne would perform. Rosie left the backstage area expectantly and


    went to the audience to witness the best part of the performance.
