Chapter 598
When Mr. Hilliard retired from the stage, he was overworked and in poor health, his wife had urged him to retire early
Mr. Hilliard, to keep his promise, really hasn’t performed onstage since
Upon hearing this, Skyler was funous.
But then she thought, Valenia also contacted Mrs. Hilliard, there’s no way Mrs. Hilliard would agree to Valeria and offend her, right?
With this thought, she felt a bit better.
If none of them could invite him, it would be up to their abilities to outshine each other
But who would’ve thought that Hilliard would show up!
She looked at Mrs. Kelley with a gloomy face
Mrs Kelley, who had failed to handle the matter looked equally unhappy but still comforted, “Skyler, I’m sure Valeria did not invite Mr. Hilliard Mrs Hilliard would not ignore our old friends because of her. We were good friends in school.”
“If it’s not her, then who is it?” Skyler said grumpily. “You cant even handle a small thing!”
Mrs. Kelley almost choked.
Was this a small thing?
Why don’t you invite him yourself?
Leaving things to others and then complaining when they can’t handle it?
Mrs. Kelley could only complain in her heart, she still relied on Skyler in many ways, so she swallowed her discontent and said in a low voice. “It won’t happen next time”
Skyler didn’t speak anymore with a sullen face.
Valeria also looked worried.
“Mom, how did you manage to invite him?” Wesley asked.
“It wasn’t me,” Valeria said in a low voice. “Mrs. Hilliard rejected me and I didn’t even get to meet Mr. Hilliard.”
Wesley was surprised, “If it’s not you, who is it?”
Valeria looked unhappy, she wouldn’t look this way if she had invited him.
She was also curious about who had such clout to invite Hilliard.
Everyone was guessing who had the clout, only Sienna, who was very happy to watch Mr. Hilliard’s live performance of Dancing with Daisies, fulfilling her long–held dream.
After the song. Mr. Hilliard, with the assistance of his helper and Trisha, removed his heavy headdress and makeup, wearing only a simple outfit. He came to Sienna with everyone.
“Madam, happy birthday,” Hilliard took a small gift box from his assistant and handed it to Sienna, “I wish you good health and a happy life”
Unlike his singing voice during the performance, Mr. Hilliard’s voice was warm and magnetic, very comfortable to listen to.
And he didn’t put on airs like a national drama master. Once the makeup was off, he was just an attractive, polite, and mild–mannered middle–aged man.
Sienna was over the moon. Having her favorite opera master perform at her birthday banquet and even give her a gift, she was so happy she could hardly count the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was like a fangirl who had finally met her idol, bombarding Mr. Hilliard with questions and constantly offering him food.
After listening to everyone’s discussion, Mrs. Garber guessed that Skyler invited Hilliard, so she complimented, “Skyler’s filial piety must have touched Mr Hilliard, that’s why he agreed to perform. Madam, you are truly blessed to have a daughter–in–law like Skyler”
Skyler’s eye twitched at that
As soon as Mrs. Kelley said that, everyone assumed Skyler invited Hilliard
Mrs Garber and Skyler were on good terms, so what she said couldn’t be wrong. So, everyone just went along with it and started to praise Skyler
Skyler’s expression turned weird, and she didn’t know how to respond.
Hearing everyone’s compliments, Trisha couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Hilliard was invited by Celeste, it has nothing to do with Skyler
