The concert countdown had already begun, and Beatrice Hargrave continued her tense rehearsals, with Alexander Zimrman as the producer for this concert, busy every day on site.
Patiently guiding Beatrice Hargrave through every stage of the performance, unaware that it was this very "patience" that ruined his nationwide tour.
Nicholas Croft personally flew to Banyan City to inspect the stage construction matters. Since leaving the Hargrave Family that day, Beatrice Hargrave hadn’t gone back, nor had Hannah Hargrave t Nicholas Croft. That day, on the pretext of discussing Beatrice’s concert, she went to Infi, only to be told by the receptionist that the president was not at the company, and when she asked where he was, they claid not to know.
Upon leaving the company, Hannah Hargrave thought for a mont before driving directly to the stadium.
With the concert about to take place, Nicholas Croft, as the largest investor, should presumably be supervising there.
Inside the stadium, Beatrice Hargrave stood on stage conversing with Alexander Zimrman, as an assistant trotted over and pointed in Hannah Hargrave’s direction, "Beatrice, your sister has co to see you."
Beatrice Hargrave followed the assistant’s pointing direction; with many workers present, Hannah Hargrave stood at the stadium entrance, holding her handbag and smilingly waiting for her to co over.
Seeing Hannah Hargrave’s insincere face, Beatrice Hargrave pursed her lips, exchanged a few polite words with Alexander Zimrman, and then got off the stage to approach Hannah Hargrave.
Upon reaching Hannah Hargrave, before she could say anything, Hannah Hargrave raised her hand to tuck the loose hair from Beatrice’s forehead behind her ear, smiling as she asked, "How’s it going? Your body still handling it?"
Beatrice Hargrave instinctively stepped back a little, coldly looking at Hannah Hargrave, saying, "No need to keep acting, we’re far enough; they can’t hear us! Just tell what you want!"
Seeing Beatrice Hargrave’s guarded deanor, Hannah Hargrave chuckled softly; with so many staff present, she couldn’t let outsiders see a laughingstock.
She maintained a gentle smile on her face, but her words were not so friendly.
"What, scared? Afraid I’ll slap you again? Rest assured, there are so many people here, even if you don’t care, I still care about my image."
"Say what you have to say without beating around the bush, I don’t have ti to waste on idle chatter!" Beatrice Hargrave bide her voice in cold rebuke, her hands clenching tightly by her sides.
Having been slapped twice by Hannah Hargrave for no reason, her mood wasn’t pleasant.
Before, she always worried about how the Hargrave Family would react if they found out she was with Nicholas Croft, whether they’d erupt in fury or dominantly forbid her from being with Nicholas Croft?
Now, she surprisingly anticipates being discovered by them because just imagining Hannah Hargrave’s frantic deanor makes her feel avenged.
Hannah Hargrave wasn’t in the mood for continued verbal sparring with Beatrice Hargrave either, suppressing the insincere smile on her face to coldly ask, "Where’s Croft? Why haven’t I seen him?"
"How should I know? I’m not his secretary!" Beatrice Hargrave retorted, leaving Hannah Hargrave with a choked response, impatiently asking with a harsh look, "Didn’t he co to see your rehearsal?"
"No, the stadium isn’t that big; can’t you see for yourself?"
Hannah Hargrave...
Not having seen Nicholas Croft was precisely why she asked; unhappy, she cast Beatrice Hargrave a sideways glance, about to turn and leave, just as a staff mber arrived to take a chair,
The person nodded and smiled at her, "Miss Hargrave!"
Hannah Hargrave also smiled and nodded at them, then lifted her hand to pat Beatrice Hargrave’s head, smiling with the guise of a good sister, "Beatrice, you go ahead and stay busy, sis will head back now, and visit next ti."
