Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 858

Chapter 858 Your Plan Failed

Jimmy's voice made Anna stop in her tracks and slowly turn around. Noticing the obvious displeasure in his eyes, she let out a sigh of resignation.

"You're already on stage. Why aren't you singing?" Jimmy's voice echoed through the microphone.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Anna while they were waiting for her answer. How should she respond? Should she tell everyone that she had been set up and that her hoarse voice couldn't handle any song?

Anna bit her lip and remained silent with a sad yet stubborn look in her eyes. This only caused Jimmy to furrow his brows even more tightly.

"I never thought a small trainee would have such audacity to not answer Mr. Harrison's question. It seems like she has no intention of pursuing an entertainment career."

"Perhaps it was intentional, maybe she wanted to catch Mr. Harrison's attention," someone from the crowd suggested.

The discussions were loud enough for Anna to hear them clearly but there was nothing she could do or say to explain herself.

Jimmy always believed that Anna wasn't one who would give up easily - especially after all the hard work she had put into training these past few days - so he put down his microphone and prepared himself to go onstage when Bryce grabbed hold of his arm.

"Jimmy, remember you are representing J. S. Entertainment," Bryce reminded him softly.

"Your excessive 'care' will only make things harder for her; causing more gossip about how much you favor her over others... Are you sure this is what you want?"

Bryce asked him quietly but Jimmy raised an eyebrow confidently.

"As J. S. Entertainment's biggest shareholder, do you think I'd give up such a promising talent?"

He pushed Bryce aside directly which caused everyone present gasp in surprise before walking calmly towards where Anna stood alone on stage with long strides.

Bryce shook his head helplessly while wearing an evil grin.

What does he plan on doing? Doesn't he realize that all eyes are now focused on him?

When Anna saw Jimmy step onto the stage, her heart began to race. When he walked straight towards her, she felt an impulse to escape immediately.

In his star-like eyes as clear as a spring, there was an unmistakable sense of confusion and helplessness.

Jimmy took several large strides towards Anna and his obsidian-like dark eyes fell directly on her.

"Why aren't you singing?" Jimmy asked bluntly.

Anna clenched her teeth and remained silent.

What good would it do to tell him? It would only make everyone think that she had chosen a difficult song beyond her abilities just for attention. Instead of being looked down upon by everyone, Anna preferred... to completely avoid the situation altogether.

Jimmy took another step towards Anna until they were close enough for Anna to breathe in the faint scent of cologne on Jimmy's body.

"Tell me the real reason," he said with a deep voice.

Anna raised her head and Jimmy saw how pale she was. In this moment he felt pity...

"I can't sing," after hesitating for a while, Anna said softly.
