At this moment, Patricia was being taken care of by Balfour's staff, resting in the guest room, her face as pale as a sheet. On her usually innocent face, the current expression looked unnaturally forced.
Just a moment ago, she had watched Ellinor's performance on stage through a video call with Balfour's subordinate, Quinton.
She was surprised, shocked, and jealous!
Ellinor's performance was beyond her expectations, and it was so good it had the audience clapping and cheering for her!
What on earth?
How could poor-born Ellinor perform such a sophisticated art and sing so well? She was even better than Patricia herself, who had been practicing in secret for months!
Patricia was furious; this was not the outcome she wanted to see!
She had hoped Ellinor would sing out of tune due to her lack of performance skills, annoying the old Mr. Bagley to the point of disgust and even dismissal!
But Ellinor's performance was superb, and she must have received additional praise from the old Mr. Bagley, which was simply unbearable.
She knew she should not have agreed to let Ellinor replace her on stage in the first place; she should have just let Balfour kick Ellinor out, so none of this would have happened! She was full of regret!
Just then, Haillie knocked on the door and walked in; looking at Patricia's face, she asked with concern, "Patricia, how is your foot? What did the doctor say after the check-up?"
