Chapter 605: Chapter 605

Patricia tried her best not to look too nervous, but her face looked a bit off “Grandpa.”

Haillie quickly came up with an excuse, immediately stepping in for Patricia “Mr. Bagley, dont listen to Ellinor How could the performance be hers? Does she look like she could perform? She’s just a regular employee at Balfour is company from some poor, hick town How could she possibly have the chance to learn acting and singing?”

Haillie turned to Ellinor, mocking. “Ellinor, don’t be green-eyed because Patricia stole the show and got all the applause and admiration. You cant just waltz in here trying to steal the credit, blowing your trumpet too high! Do you really think people would believe that it was you singing just because you said so? The other performers backstage can prove it was Patricia, clear as day”

Seeing Haillie so adamant, Mr. Bagley was a bit puzzled, asking, “Who really performed the piece just now?”

Before Ellinor and Patricia could answer, Haillie took over, saying, “Mr. Bagley, of course, it was Patricial You can’t listen to Ellinor’s claptrap. She’s a plece of work! She’s working at Balfour’s company but not doing her job, always trying to make a pass at men, looking for shortcuts. She even tried to hit on Patricia’s boyfriend, Theo, but with no luck. Then tried to make a pass at Balfour, but no dice! Now she’s here spreading rumors, looking for a man. Mr. Bagley just holds on. I will get the other performers to testify that it was Patricia on the stage!”

Soon, the performers from backstage were called over. As expected, they were all arranged by Haillie, and they all vouched for Patricia, which gave Haillie confidence.

As for this. Ellinor didn’t bother to explain anymore, just smiled faintly, “All right, let’s just say I’m lying.

I’ll leave you to it.”

Haillie gave a smug grin Thought Ellinor can outsmart her? Tried to ruin Patricia’s show? In her dreams!

However, Mr. Bagley didn’t completely let go of his doubts. He called out to Ellinor, “Wait! Ms.

Mendoza, don’t go!”.

Ellinor paused, “Mr. Bagley, what else do you want?”

Haillie looked a bit nervous, then interrupted, “Mr. Bagley, it’s been proven that she’s lying. What else do you want with her? Just let her go!”

Mr. Bagley cast a serious glance at Haillie, “Everyone can lie, but voices don’t. Since they both claimed the performance was theirs, let them sing a few lines. I’ll know who it was right away”

Patricia, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, faced a crisis again. Her face was stiff, but she tried to stay calm. She quietly gave Haillie a sharp pinch.

Feeling Patricia’s reproach, Haillie panicked. She hadn’t expected this and hurriedly said, “Mr. Bagley, Patricia has been injured. The doctor said she needed to rest. I’m afraid she can’t sing now.”
