The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 606

Old Mr. Bagley didn't show any sympathy. He scrunched his brows and said, "She hurt her foot, not her throat! A couple lines of singing would just prove her ability. Don't worry, she won't wear herself out."

Haillie was on the fence, "Uh."

"Enough with your excuses!" Old Mr. Bagley was clearly over it and didn't bother with Haillie anymore. His icy gaze swept over Patricia and then Ellinor.

"Sing! Which one of you is going first?"

Patricia knew she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She put on a brave face, smiled, and said, "Well, it doesn't really matter who goes first! Ellinor, who do you think should start?"

Ellinor looked at Patricia, who was smiling but seemed to have eyes that were filled with fear and threats. Clearly, she was warning Ellinor not to spill the beans, or else!

Ellinor found this amusing. Patricia's reputation was on the brink of ruin, and she was still trying to scare her?

Whispers started to spread among the guests.

"Whose kid is that? How dare she try to steal the limelight from Ms. Howard?"

"I don't know; I've never seen her before!"

"She claimed that she sang the part earlier; is that true?"
