My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 247

Sophia’s heart skipped a beat as she sneaked a glance at Michael at the side. She thought he would be very furious or at least show that he was slightly bothered by that, but he acted as though he didn’t hear it at all. He even held his cell phone and looked at himself on the screen, as if his cell phone was a mirror. He tidied up his hair and smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt.

She told him hurriedly, “There’s nothing interesting to talk about on this subject. There is so much news on the Internet with unknown credibility. Who knows that maybe someone tried to defame him behind his back on purpose?

Let’s talk about the competition instead. Are you guys ready for it?” However, everyone seemed uninterested about the competition. They just couldn’t stop once they started gossiping.

“Eh? Sophia, this is your idol we’re talking about!”

“Something happened to your idol. You should at least say something about it!”

“Everyone knows you’re a fan of Taylor. You were still giving out movie tickets in class last time when Taylor’s movie was up in the cinemas. This time, so many dark secrets about your idol have been exposed on the Internet and you don’t have anything to say about it?”

“Didn’t you say that the biggest dream in your whole life is to get laid by Taylor?”

Sophia goggled at them in shock with her jaw hanging, as though someone had exposed her evil deeds. She blushed with embarrassment as her eyes darted around. Her face became redder when she sneaked a peek at Michael beside her and noticed that he was chuckling in a low voice. She stammered, “U-Uh… It was just a joke. I was just joking around…” This is embarrassing! This is REALLY embarrassing!

Suddenly, everyone realized her real boyfriend was still sitting at the side. They stopped talking simultaneously. However, Michael seemed like he didn’t mind at all. He put down his cell phone and said

with a smile, “You guys, please continue. Don’t mind me. I know she likes Taylor.

That’s why I purposely went overseas to have a plastic surgery and make myself look like Taylor.” He removed his glasses and purposely blinked at everyone. “The doctor said you absolutely can’t see any incision on my face at all. Now, I look more than 98% alike with Taylor.”

All the girls were utterly shocked. No wonder he looks like Taylor! It turns out that he had plastic surgery! That’s true love indeed to actually have a plastic surgery to turn himself into his girlfriend’s idol! The girls believed each and every single nonsense that Michael told them completely. Thus, they began to gossip openly without considering much about Sophia’s feelings.

“Your girlfriend likes Taylor very much! I just saw she has Taylor’s stickers all over her book two days ago!”

“She put a photo of Taylor in a pair of swimming trunks as the wallpaper on her cell phone screen!”

“She even has a bookmark with Taylor’s picture on it!”

Sophia became very embarrassed and uneasy, as if she was sitting on a chair full of prickly needles. She felt so nervous that her entire body froze and she sat there stiffly with her face lowered, not daring to speak a word. The Sophia within her arched her head heavenward and screamed desperately, Ah! Stop talking about that! It’s really embarrassing!

Finally, the competition began. Sophia grabbed her bag and dashed up the stage, not daring to look at Michael. “I’m off to the competition!”

Although she walked away, she still paid attention to the conversation that followed. A girl asked, “Your girlfriend is such a huge fan of her idol and admires him so much. Will that give you any pressure?”

Michael pondered about it for a while. Sitting by the window, the sun shone brightly on him and his brand new uniform, enveloping him in a golden hue. His eyes were filled with tenderness and love as he seemingly fixed his eyes on Sophia wherever she went. “As long as she likes it.” The words he said were full of love and adoration. Michael publicly showed his affection for Sophia in front of all the girls, making all of them feel envious of Sophia for having a boyfriend who loved her so much.

Sophia lowered her head too, feeling so embarrassed that she had goosebumps. Still, she was slightly touched when she heard the words Michael said.

The cash-counting competition was just a small contest within the school. The winner would not be rewarded with credit points but with just a certificate. Contestants were even required to bring their own practice notes to the competition.

Since the competition was about to begin soon, the contest judge professors and the host had taken their stations. It was said that the host was from the School of Cinematography. Everyone was a little surprised when the host entered the competition venue.

“Hello, everyone. I’m your host for today’s cash-counting competition.” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

A pleasant voice was heard echoing through the place. Sophia, who was filling up the contestant’s form, was startled. She raised her head and saw a couple entering the place hand in hand.

The girl wore a pure white dress, looking like a butterfly that was about to spread its wings and fly. The guy wore a high-class well-tailored casual outfit, which made him look exceptionally handsome; both of them looked perfect together. The couple was actually Xyla and Richard.

Richard hadn’t been to class for such a long time now. What is the meaning of this? Why did he suddenly show up at the competition today?

Michael, who was mingling among the girls and finding out his young bride’s daily habits in the university, frowned as he automatically turned to look at Sophia. He noticed that Sophia was seemingly unaffected by his presence. She still lowered her head and continued with her writing.

With the clacking sounds of her high heels, Xyla strode across to the center of the stage with the ever so bright and cheerful smile on her exquisitely beautiful face. She began hosting the competition. As for Richard, he found a seat down the stage and sat down properly. Coincidentally, he sat beside Michael with just an aisle in between them. All of a sudden, the atmosphere became awkward.

Just then, a girl from the same class as Sophia reminded Michael in a low voice, “The guy sitting next to you is Sophia’s ex-boyfriend!”

Michael just replied with a ‘yeah’ without any other reactions.

However, Richard seemed to have heard something and he turned to look at Michael. I saw this guy at the basketball match last time. He looks a lot like Taylor Murray! Why is he here? It seems he looks even more like Taylor up close. In fact, he looks like the Taylor from ten years ago.

The Harper Group played a part in the revelation of a series of dark secrets revolving around Taylor, which went viral on the Internet recently. The Harper Group was the largest shareholder of Glory Entertainment Company. Almost all the management executives in Glory Entertainment were people from Harper Group. Richard had begun to officially take over the business of Harper Group too, starting from Glory Entertainment.

Taylor’s resources were so abundant that it made everyone feel angry and jealous about him. Glory Entertainment orchestrated the revelation of the series of dark secrets of Taylor this time as an attempt to bring him down once and for all. They tried to snatch all the resources from him completely and to popularize several young new actors from Glory Entertainment. They attempted to take this opportunity to produce a third Oscar-winning best actor.

Before the revelation of the series of dark secrets, Harper Group had received some news beforehand that someone intended to mess with Taylor. It was rumored that the person was a Fletcher…

Richard guessed it was Joel. After all, he could feel the unusual interaction between Joel and Taylor at Kayla’s birthday party. He knew Taylor had messed with someone he shouldn’t mess with. So, it was the perfect time to pull him down now. Coincidentally, someone from the entertainment industry wanted to work with Glory Entertainment and crush Taylor, the always so popular superstar who had been at the top of the movie rankings for such a long time. Therefore, Richard decided to let Glory Entertainment be the first to take the opportunity to initiate the revelation of the series of dark secrets. Thus, he naturally couldn’t help but plan something in his mind now that he saw a guy who looked like Taylor.

Taylor’s reputation was ruined beyond repair. Following the revelation of his dark secrets, several investors for his new movie had begun to boycott Taylor, including the investor of Harper Real Estates, who kept pressing the production crew to boycott Taylor. It was just a matter of time before they re-cast Taylor. Besides, he was old and didn’t look as attractive as he used to be anymore. With the change in his appearance and his reputation ruined, it was very difficult for him to return to the entertainment business anymore. Richard thought, If Glory Entertainment is to popularize a new generation of idols who looked like Taylor now, then this guy…

Now, Glory Entertainment had begun to purposely select new artists who looked like Taylor and started training them. However, they hadn’t come across anyone who looked so much like Taylor before!

The man in front of him seemed like a student of Bayside University. He looked rather attractive and resembled Taylor very much. Richard wondered whether he had signed any contracts to become an artist with any entertainment agency…
