    Chapter 604


    Ellinor shed Patricia a smile and said. “Ms. Howard, I’ve already stripped off the costume and left it


    backstage at the makeup station. Make sure someone scoops it up.


    I reckon this finely made costume is bespoke, right? I’d suggest you send someone to check it out now


    If it’s lost or damagedter, don’t point fingers at mer


    Her words were light as a feather, but suddenly, the air got thick


    Patricia and Haillie’s faces stiffened. They didn’t know how to respond just shot Ellinor a dirty look, then


    nced nervously at old man Bagley


    Old man Bagley, previously friendly, now looked grim. He nced at the innocent Patricia in her


    wheelchair, then at Ellinor, who had removed her stage makeup, his brow


    furrowed in deep thought.

    Ellinor just grinned at old man Bagley. Seeing no response from Patricia, she continued


    “Ms Howard, you’re not saying anything? Silence is golden, huh? If there’s no problem, I’ll be on my


    way Later!”


    After saying her piece, she respectfully bowed to old man Bagley and his wife. “Mr. and Mrs. Bagley, it


    was an honor to attend your party. I’ll take my leave now Goodbye”


    With that, she turned to leave


    Suddenly, Mrs Bagley came to, reaching out to stop Ellinor. “It’s Marlinie. She’s Marlinie. Don’t go,


    Marlinie”


    Ellinor paused slightly at the name Marlinie but didn’t stop walking or turn to look at Mrs. Bagley


    Mrs Bagley’s outburst snapped Mr. Bagley back to reality. He steadied his wife, then called out to


    Ellinor. “Ms. Mendoza, wait!”


    Ellinor stopped, turned, and smiled. “Mr. Bagley, you called?”


    Mr Bagley asked her, “From what you said earlier, you just took off the costume?”


    Ellinor nodded “Yes”


    Mr. Bagley’s brow furrowed. “So, the one who was singing and performing on stage was actually you?”


    Ellinor raised an eyebrow but didn’t immediately reply. Instead, she nced at Patricia in her


    wheelchair.


    Patricia was pale, staring at Ellinor with a calm but threatening gaze.


    She was warning Ellinor not to spill the beans


    But Ellinor was unfazed by Patricia’s look and truthfully answered Mr. Bagley. “Yes, it was me on stage.


    Sorry for the trouble.”


    Upon learning the truth, Mr. Bagley’s face darkened. His fondness for Patricia instantly vanished,


    reced by a deep revulsion. He was also livid at himself for so readily believing a lie.


    Mr. Bagley shot a harsh re at Patricia and Haillie, who had just been performing together. He


    grunted heavily, then coldly asked Patricia, “Didn’t you just im that the person performing on stage


    was you?”
