The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 607

Chapter 607

Again, Edgar did not buy her story.

Instead, he asked, "Would someone please get her a glass of water?'

Anya was speechless. After drinking the water brought by the servant, she did not come up with any more excuses; she had no choice but to sing.

'I've been practicing for a few months, so I should be as good as Corinne... thought Anya.

She sang the same verse as Corinne, but her voice broke at the end, making the audience giggle.

Anya was horribly embarrassed. She had never felt so humiliated, so she quickly tried to explain herself. I'm sorry, Grandpa! My throat is really sore, so-"

"Oh, really? Your throat is sore, huh?" Edgar heartlessly interrupted her. "You sang so beautifully when you pretended to be Consort Alleen. Do you really take me for an old fool? Do you think I can't tell your voice is totally different from hers?"

Anya's eyes reddened. She looked like she was about to cry.

"No! Grandpa, I'm not lying. It's really because of my sore throat...I..."

Edgar frowned and barked, 'Hmmph! Even up until now, you won't admit your mistake? I, Edgar Lovelace, hate nothing more than a manipulative, scheming person. Get out of my face and go back to your own family. You're not to call me Grandpa' anymore, nor can you ever step into my house again. Don't ever tell anyone we're related in any way. I don't have a granddaughter like you!"

Anya did not expect things to turn out like that. She immediately broke out into tears.

"Grandpa... I know what I did was wrong, but believe me when I say I really wanted to sing for you. I had no choice but to let Corinne replace me after I hurt my leg. I put on this show just for you..."

Rosie quickly came to her defense as well. "What Anya said was true, Mister Edgar. She really wanted you to enjoy this gift, but Corinne hurt her-'

"That's enough! How dare the two of you still try to fool me? I might be old, but I'm not stupid!"

Edgar coldly cut them off. He was beyond angry.

Tears rolled down pitifully on Anya's cheeks. She wanted to say something more but did not. Her voice became weak as she tried again to appeal to Edgar.

"Grandpa..."

However, Edgar completely ignored her.

Upon seeing that, Corinne smiled. She was no longer worried that Edgar would be hoodwinked by Anya and Rosie, so she left the party.

Corinne did not come to steal Anya's limelight. It would be meaningless for her to do that. She exposed Anya's ploy because she could not bear to see Edgar and Gertrude being used by her. Since that was done, she could finally leave in peace.

"Wait, Miss Corinne. Might I have a moment of your time?" Edgar's deep voice came from behind Corinne.

Corinne stopped walking and turned her head around. She cocked her head and asked politely, "What can I help you with, Mister Edgar?"

Edgar looked at her with a thoughtful smile on his face, and his voice softened when he said, "Please come to the study with me. I have something to ask you."

Corinne raised her eyebrow. After thinking about it, she simply said, "Okay."

She did not think it was the right time to tell Edgar that she was his granddaughter yet, but at the same time, she did not bear to tum down his request. She figured she could follow him to the study to see what he had to ask her.
