The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 607

Old Mr. Bagley wasn't buying Patricia's act. "Someone, get her a glass of water. Let's soothe that throat of hers."

Patricia fell silent.

After drinking the water brought by the Bagley's servant, Patricia was at a loss for words and started singing.

She had been practicing for months, so her voice should've been on par with Ellinor's.

She and Ellinor sang the same lyrics, but she cracked on the final note, sparking a wave of snickers from the crowd.

Patricia's face was a mix of embarrassment and mortification like never before. Trying to explain herself, she said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa. My voice is hoarse from singing; that's why I don't sound like myself."

"Really? Your voice is hoarse?" Old Mr. Bagley interrupted her coldly, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I remember when you were pretending to be a performer just now, your throat was fine! You think I can't tell that your voice isn't the same as before?"

Patricia's eyes grew moist and she looked like she was about to burst into tears, "No, Grandpa. It's just that my throat was a bit tense and it made me sound different. I wasn't lying! It was really me."

Old Mr. Bagley scowled; his voice was now even colder, "Hmm! You still have the cheek to deny your mistake! The one thing I detest most in my life is lying. Now leave! Go back to your Howard family! Don't you dare call me grandpa again or step foot into the Bagley's residence! Don't even mention any kinship with the Bagley's; I don't have a granddaughter like you!"

Ms. Howard didn't expect the consequences to be so severe and she immediately burst into tears, "Grandpa... I was wrong... I admit my mistake... I was originally going to sing for you myself, but I let Ellinor take over because I sprained my ankle... This performance was meant to celebrate your birthday."

Haillie also hurriedly chimed in, "Yes! Old Mr. Bagley, Patricia really did prepare this present for you; she just didn't expect her foot to get injured by Ellinor."

"Enough! Are you two still trying to pull a fast one on me? You think that just because I'm old, I can't tell the difference?" Old Mr. Bagley coldly interrupted them, looking very angry.
