Rosie went off stage, glanced at the audience, and walked over to sit in the first row behind Edgar andGertrude.

The second elder of the Lovelaces was Lucas’s grandfather. If she could strike up a good relationshipwith the old man and his wife, then it would almost certainly benefit her in her future relationship withLucas.

Rosie exchanged greetings with the elders in a very respectful and polite manner before taking herseat. She looked up at the stage and saw Corinne making an appearance.

‘Let the show begin!’

Corinne led the other dancers on stage with a firm stride and raised her voice to sing.

“Farewell, my love. Farewell, my love. We must go our separate ways. Remember this farewell, keepour memories in your heart, and think back to our time before our farewell…”

Her voice did not break, she was not out of tune, and she nailed every single word correctly.

Her voice was crisp, and those in the audience who were chatting while listening to the performancecould not help but fall silent as they focused their attention on ‘Consort Aileen’ on the stage.

Rosie was dumbfounded, and the eager expression she had earlier had faded away. She evenwondered if she was hallucinating.

She had no idea that Corinne could have such a professional voice.

Rosie listened carefully again and confirmed that she was not hearing things. Corinne was genuinelysinging very well!

‘But how?! How could a country bumpkin like Corinne sing an opera so well? Someone of herbackground would never have been able to learn it!’

The middle-aged and elderly VIP guests were already applauding for ‘Consort Aileen’ with eyes filledwith admiration.

However, Rosie still refused to believe that Corinne would be the singer who sang ‘Farewell, My Love’so flawlessly.

It could not have been possible! Something was gravely wrong.

Rosie lost her composure, stood up, and stared at the girl in the costume of Consort Aileen. Her eyeswidened even more in disbelief as she listened to Corinne sing.

‘It’s Corinne! There’s no doubt about it! It’s her… That country bumpkin can sing opera, and she sangso perfectly too! Didn’t she say she couldn’t sing very well?!’

At that moment, someone in the audience smiled and asked Edgar, “Edgar, what’s the name of thiswoman playing ‘Consort Aileen’? She sings amazingly well! Where did you replace her?”

Edgar also looked at ‘Consort Aileen’ on stage in amazement. His pupils trembled, and he was sofocused on the performance that he did not hear the question raised by his friend.

The singer sang in such a unique manner, and her movement-not to mention her voice and figure-lefteveryone in awe. In addition, her portrayal of ‘Consort Aileen’ had a charm similar to his daughterEmily, who had been missing for many years.

‘Farewell, My Love’ was her favorite play, and when she was young, she had the opportunity to learnfrom an opera master because her parents-being fans of opera-were good friends with that operamaster.

Emily admired Consort Aileen’s boldness, so it was no surprise that her favorite opera was Farewell,My Love’. She frequently performed it whenever there were art performances at her school.

The ‘Consort Aileen’ on stage looked remarkably like Emily as a young child singing on stage -hermovements, charm, and voice were somehow very similar. Edgar felt that the singer looked like hisdaughter, and Gertrude shared the same view too.

Gertrude stared at ‘Consort Aileen’ with tears in her eyes, and she almost choked up as she said, “It’sEmily… Emily’s singing her favorite piece.”

Upon seeing his wife’s reaction, Edgar could not help but feel a touch of heartbreak as he stretched outhis hand and held his wife’s trembling shoulders.

He calmed her down with a deep voice and said, “Not so loud, honey. Let our Emily finish her song.”
