Evadne's eyes were bright as autumn waters. With a slight turn, her graceful figure seemed to pierce through Thaddeus's heart.
Her singing was beautiful and intoxicating.
Thaddeus watched her.
One on stage, one-off, as if they had crossed endless time and space, crossed love and hate, separation, just to reunite in this life, as if they had returned to the past.
Her every frown and smile, every turn, seemed to make his lifetime become eternal in that moment.
"Is that really Ilana?!" Hamiltion excitedly gripped the armrest, "Yes. It's Ilana! Look at that little nose and mouth. Isn't that Ilana?!"
Thaddeus suddenly sat back in his chair. His vision blurred, and his temples suddenly ached.
"Thad? What's wrong? You don't look so good." Jareth noticed his discomfort and asked urgently.
"I'm fine." Thaddeus held his temple, his eyes seeming to sink into the abyss.
Why did the name Ilana sound familiar? Had he heard it somewhere before? And the person, Ilana, seemed familiar too.
Hamiltion was enjoying "Eternal Whispers".
Evadne used to visit Mr. Hamiltion often, showing off her abilities by singing a bit for him to cheer him up.
She remembered the first time Mr. Hamiltion heard her singing, and tears filled his eyes as he was lost in the beautiful memories with his wife Fiona Abernathy. Tears poured out uncontrollably, crying like a child.
Fiona used to be a famous singer domestically, and Mr. Hamiltion was her die-hard fan. He loved Fiona so much that he defied his family to marry her. In the end, they finally got together and created a legendary love story.
Evadne envied the relationship between Mr. Hamiltion and Fiona, and she wanted to have that, too.
But it wasn't until Thaddeus forced her to divorce that she realized that her love was doomed to shatter and end in tragedy the moment she fell in love with this man.
The crowd gradually immersed in the performance, even forgetting to chat, only focused on appreciating the show.
"I just heard the performer is Mr. Thaddeus's ex-wife! She's such a talented girl. It's rare to see girls who love classical art in today's impetuous society!"
"Don't keep mentioning Mr. Thaddeus, and she's now President Ashbourne's girlfriend!"
"Who knows if Mr. Thaddeus and her will get back together? Didn't you see the way Mr. Thaddeus looked at her so gentle? Obviously he hasn't let go of her!"
"How could he let go? She's beautiful and talented, everything Mr. Thaddeus liked. Isn't she way better than that counterfeit-loving Ms. Acacia?"
Hearing these discussions, Acacia's eyes turned red with anger, and she abruptly left the table.
She found a secluded corner to stand in, filled with resentment, contemplating sinister plans.
Today, Elspeth was hinting at her to act against Ilana quickly, but she wasn't foolish enough to let Elspeth use her.
Once her plan was discovered, she would be ultimately defeated!
Therefore, she needed to find someone to share the risk with her.
No one was more suitable than Glynnis, who harbored deep resentment.
So Acacia sent Glynnis a message.
Soon, Glynnis came over, her skirt swishing angrily.
"Humph! That bitch Ilana! I didn't expect her to be able to sing. She stole my thunder again, damn!"
"Glynnis, don't be angry, what's so great about being able to sing? Being a performer has no good end, everyone knows. Performers are lowly people. such a cheap woman, even if she climbed to a high branch, she can't change her nature. She can only stand on stage for us aristocrats to enjoy."
Acacia, who had been left speechless by Ilana's verbal attack, was now cleverly comforting Glynnis.
"Acacia, you're right. Let that cheap woman sing! Does she think she's talented? She's just embarrassing herself!"
"Glynnis, do you want to settle the score with Ilana and vent your anger?" Acacia asked in a low voice.
"I dream of it! I really wanted to twist her head off and kick it around like a ball, and I really wanted to break her neck!" Glynnis gritted her teeth in hatred.
