The Apology from My Ex and His Mistress novel Chapter 48

Chapter48

2. Planted hatred for Stephanie in “Serena,” the canary raised by Jeremiah

After all, she had a miscarriage because of Jeremiah and still didn’t get to move up. Didn’t “Serena” ever feel confused or angry?

Since there was hatred, then the other person should have directed that hatred at Stephanie.

She wanted to turn this masked woman into a gun in her hand pointing at Stephanie!

The more Roxanne thought about it, the more she felt her plan was perfect. She pulled her gaze back with satisfaction and walked backstage.

Stephanie paused a bit at the entrance to the hallway and glanced back at Roxanne’s departing figure.

She didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, in a small room, two people listened to the conversation on the recording device labeled “staff passage,” their eyes wide open

“Should we report it?” one of them asked.

“Wait, I feel like there’s more big news.” The other person replied, “If it gets exposed now, it’s not worth it. Let’s wait a bit longer.”

Roxanne still didn’t get the entertainment industry.

The number of recording devices they announced never matched the

real number.

There were also plenty of paparazzi, secret recordings, and selling them.

Otherwise, where did all that juicy gossip come from?

Also, the stuff that could be exposed was already rare, most of it had already been bought off.

The other side.

Waiting backstage.

“The last person was about to leave, Serena got ready.”

With the stage manager’s cue, Stephanie stepped onto the stage.

Maxwell had already gotten up and left.

He usually didn’t really join this kind of event, and the only reason he came today was just to watch Roxanne’s performance.

The show was over, so it was time to leave.

It was just that after only a few steps, the third contestant already showed up.

Maxwell took a look.

“The next contestant was Serena, and the song she brought was ‘Yesterday Once More…”

With the host’s announcement, Maxwell remembered this was the canary Jeremiah kept that Roxanne had told him about.

For some reason, Maxwell stopped without thinking.

Looked at the stage.

Today he heard a lot of people mention this mysterious masked woman, but this was the first time he actually saw her.

I just saw her standing on stage, holding the mic lightly. Her gentle, story–like singing flowed out slowly. With her unique style, she only sang a few lines and already caught everyone’s attention.

The studio, which had just been noisy, was now quiet as a mouse, and countless people were listening carefully to the woman’s singing

Maxwell frowned a little. He felt like this style was kind of familiar.

The next moment, he remembered, this style was kind of similar to Stephanie’s style.

But it was different.

Serena’s style was more mature than Stephanie’s, with a stronger sense of story. That faint sadness and the indifference after going through so much really grabbed people’s hearts.

That feeling wasn’t strong, just a light taste, like smoke, but it could really wrap you up and hit you hard afterward.

Maxwell took a serious look at the masked woman on stage who was wearing a burning flame rose costume.

Whether it was the style of the stage outfit or the ody shape, it was different from Stephanie.

It wasn’t her.

As the singing went on, the voice started out soft and gentle, then

twisted and built up, getting intense and rising higher, and in the end. it was like breaking through ice. With the woman singing high, the song reached its climax.

Flames rose around the stage, the lights changed, and after a brief darkness, a beam of light shone on the woman in the center of the stage holding a violin.

Below the violin were falling petals, the woman moved her body and hand, and intense, sad yet graceful violin music flowed out.

The spotlight was on the woman, and some parts of her burning flame rose costume had come off. Right then, the colored lights hit her, and all the scars she once tried to cover up with foundation showed up.

Piece after piece, it looked even more shocking against her pale skin.

Especially at the joints, the scars were even more obvious.

I could tell he was really badly hurt.

Those wounds, together with her playing at that moment, had an almost dying kind of beauty.

And the flames rising all around gave her a feeling of being reborn in the fire, like a kind of redemption.

The woman pulled the violin, her red dress swirling. Thin as she was, she looked stunningly beautiful on this stage.

As the violin played more and more intens her.

Nirvana Rose.

This was what everyone there agreed about her.

everyone’s eyes were on
