Chapter 599
Upon hearing Edgar’s words, Gertrude-whose mental state faltered slightly-went nk. momentarily.
She suppressed her urge to rush up and hug her ‘daughter’, nodding quietly.” Yes, we can’t interrupt
her when she’s so focused on her singing. Emily doesn’t like to be interrupted…”
At the end of the pieces, the actors left the stage after a curtain call. Gertrude watched as her ‘
daughter’ left her sight, and her mood started spiraling out of control as she got up anxiously to try and
get on stage to chase after her daughter.
Edgar had anticipated she would do that, so he grabbed his wife just in time and said, “Don’t go
anywhere, Gertrude. Emily won’t leave again.”
Afterforting his wife, he turned around and instructed the servants waiting beside him, ” Get
‘Consort Aileen’ toe here right away!”
“Yes, sir.”
The servant responded and went immediately.
Upon seeing that, Rosie-who had just snapped back to her senses-suddenly had a bad feeling. She
initially wanted Corinne to make a fool of herself in public, but she never expected Corinne to be that
good of a singer who even received the approval of Edgar and Gertrude. The old couple even wanted
to meet her!
Rosie could not let that happen. Edgar was very satisfied with Corinne’s performance, and he would
have a good impression of her if he knew she was ‘Consort Aileen’. That would only fuel Corinne’s
ambitions to advance her social status.
Having considered that, Rosie immediately stepped forward and feigned a smile as she intervened,
“Didn’t you notice, Mister Edgar? The opera singer who yed Consort Aileen earlier was Anya! She
worked incredibly hard just to give you this special gift!”
Edgar was startled to hear that. ‘Did I hear her correctly?! ‘Consort Aileen’ was yed by Anya? I didn’t
notice it at all!’
Suddenly, Edgar remembered the so-called ‘special gift’ Anya had mentioned she had prepared for
him. She mentioned that it was something he would almost certainly love.
As it turned out, the gift she prepared was that performance.
A trace of disappointment shed across Edgar’s eyes after discovering that ‘Consort Aileen’ was
Anya. Nevertheless, he smiled with appreciation and said softly, “Well, she was very considerate to
prepare this gift. It isn’t easy for one to train their voice that well.”
At this time, Gertrude-who was already a little anxious because she could not meet her’

daughter’-asked impatiently, “Edgar… Why hasn’t Emilye here yet? Please find her. I want to see
her…”
Edgar brieflyforted his wife before telling Rosie, “Please tell her toe over. Let her know that I
have something to say to her.”
Rosie smirked and nodded, “Okay, sir! I’ll get Anya toe and meet you right now!”
Rosie hurried backstage and happened to run into Corinne. She stood angrily in front of Corinne and
said, “Stop! Where do you think you’re going?”
Corinne had not had the time to remove her makeup and costume yet, so she replied inly, ”
Someone just informed me that Mister Edgar wanted to meet the singer, so I’m going over right now.”
Rosie stared at her disdainfully, “What business do you have meeting him? Don’t forget that. you just
took Anya’s ce, and Mister Edgar wants to meet Anya. The person he saw on stage. was Anya-not
you. Don’t you take this opportunity to make a name for yourself!”
Corinne raised her eyebrows nonchntly. “Are you saying that I don’t need to meet him?”
Rosie snorted arrogantly. “No, you don’t. You have no right to! Just stay here and don’t go. anywhere.
It’s none of your business! Anya will be going to meet the man!”
Corinne shrugged indifferently. “Sure. I’ll remove my makeup since I don’t need to go!”
After finishing her words, she turned around, yawned, and returned to the dressing room to remove her
makeup.
Rosie frowned unhappily and had a particr disdain for Corinne’s arrogance. As she nced at
Corinne’s back in disgust, she turned to look for Anya and intended to ask her best friend to be
‘Consort Aileen’ and meet Edgar.
