    It seemed Hallie wasnt as helpless as she thought. When push came to shove, this friend could be


    quite handy


    Patricia felt at ease and smiled Haillie, thanks for defending me in front of Grandpa”


    Haillie replied. “Ah, it’s nothing! Patricia we’re best buds. How could I just sit back and watch Ellinor


    bolly you and steal your limelight?


    I swear, she was totally out to get you today, pushing you down the stairs on purpose so she could hog


    the spotlight!


    But don’t you worry, I’ve got someone keeping tabs on her backstage. There’s no way she’ll get a


    chance to speak in front of old Mr. Bagley


    Patricia chuckled and put on her innocent act, pretending to be clueless, Haillie, don’t be so hard on


    Ellinor I don’t think she did it on purpose”


    “As if Patricia, you’re just too kind hearted. You’re giving her too much credit! Haillie genuinely thought


    her friend was too nice and easily bullied She felt a strong protective instinct for Patricia, who was also


    going to be her rtive in the future and was determined to look out for her


    “Patricia, let’s drop the subject of Ellinor! Come on, I’ve got a wheelchair for you. Your foot is hurt, and


    it’s hard for you to walk. I’ll push you to see old Mr. Bagley, see what he has to say?”


    Patricia nodded and said, “All right”


    Balfour had just left a few servants to look after her, then left.


    Without Balfour, the remaining servants were easier to persuade Seeing the wheelchair, they didn’t


    stop them from going out.


    And so, Haillie pushed Patricia in front of old Mr and Mrs Bagley

    Haillie said, ‘Old Mr. Bagley, I’ve brought Patricial”


    Old Mr. Bagley’s stern eyes fell on Patricia, who was still in her stage makeup and sitting in the


    wheelchair. He squinted his sharp, though aged eyes, quickly noticing something was off, and asked in


    a deep voice.


    “Why have you changed your clothes? Why are you in a wheelchair? What’s going on?”


    Patricia exined, looking a bit embarrassed, “Grandpa. I’m sorry I can’t stand up to talk to you. It’s


    very rude of me. I just changed out of my costume in a hurry after my performance and didn’t see the


    steps, so I identally twisted my ankle.”


    Old Mr. Bagley looked at her pitiful appearance for a moment, then, his doubts vanished. He began to


    feel some pity and respect for Ms. Howard, whom he had never liked and a kind smile appeared on his


    face. He said gently, “All right, your sincerity is clear to both your grandma and me. You did a splendid


    job in your performance just now, and it’s clear you’ve prepared for a long time. I really enjoyed your


    performance, and so did the other guests. Now that your foot is injured, you should rest. Don’t move


    around too much, and you’ll have another chance to perform for uster.”
