The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 594

Chapter 594

Rosie glared at Corinne and said, “Is that so difficult to understand, Corinne? I’m asking you to go onstage and take Anya’s place to sing ‘A Love Entranced”!”

Corinne frowned slightly. “Me? Taking her place for the performance? How is that helpful?”

Rosie rolled her eyes confidently and said, “It’s very helpful! You’ll be using heavy makeup when you’re singing on stage, so no one can tell that you’re not her if they don’t look carefully! You can just go on stage, sing the song as Anya, and we’ll treat it as if Anya was the one who came on stage to sing for the old man. No one will notice anything!”

After hearing Rosie’s idea, Anya pondered it momentarily and soon understood her best friend’s intentions. Rosie deliberately tried to make a fool out of Corinne with the performance. It did not take a genius to figure out that a poor country girl like Corinne could never belt out an opera.

Corinne’s family finances and childhood environment hindered her from taking opera lessons. Once on stage, she would make a fool of herself by singing nonsense, and Edgar hated those who did not appreciate opera by singing out of tune and butchering his beloved classics.

Anya had made many preparations and practiced hard just to please Edgar with her special birthday gift. However, judging from Edgar’s attitude toward her that day, she knew that she would not win his favor regardless of how well she sang, and if she failed to sing to his satisfaction, he would probably shun her even more.

Therefore, Anya had never planned to go on stage to sing. She merely wanted to use the opportunity to create a ‘reason’ for why she could not go on stage because that would cause Lucas to get angry at Corinne and immediately chase Corinne away.

Anya could see that Edgar had entertained the idea of treating Corinne like a granddaughter after his wife mistook her for their daughter earlier. If they went ahead with Rosie’s idea of getting Corinne on stage to sing in Anya’s place and ruin the old man’s beloved classic, he would get angry and drop the idea of treating Corinne like a granddaughter.
