My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 268

Mr. Huff and Mr. Harper looked at each other blankly. Finally, the latter said, “Dear in-laws, it looks like we’ve chosen a wrong date, so let’s not force it. We can go next door to take a look.”

Mr. Huff nodded. The two of them put down their glasses, changed their clothes, and went next door.

Upon seeing the engagement banquet that was instantaneously deserted, Richard let out a resigned sign before packing his stuff and preparing to go next door.

Richard and the parents of the two families went next door. When the guests saw that the host had left, the remaining guests all left as well. Everyone who could leave had all left, and the initially merry engagement banquet was left with only a few hotel janitors to clean up the mess.

Xyla initially thought that she was living her dream. In her dream, she was experiencing the most important day of her life; she was envied by all as she held the arm of the man she loved, wearing a 18-carat diamond ring on her finger, and made a lifetime vow under everyone’s blessings and envy.

However, now that she was awakened from her dreams, the cold and harsh reality gave her a slap on her face.

No! She stood up at once, a glimmer of light still remaining in her eyes. The Sophia, whom I resent the most, has gotten what she deserves! Haha!

She went upstairs to the room on the second floor. Upon reaching the front of the room, she could vaguely hear the moaning of a man and woman. A twisted sense of pleasure overfilled her eyes.

Sophia, you are now no match to me!

She had Faye drug Sophia’s wine. After Sophia drank the wine, she would feel uncomfortable. She then had Richard call Tyler away and had another two girls to lead Sophia to the hotel room, where she would be greeted by a few gigolos, whom she had personally chosen for her.

She initially planned to get everyone to watch the show, but the guests had all left unexpectedly. However, this wouldn’t affect her plan at all because the video of the show would be emailed to her later.

And tomorrow, the video of Sophia having sex with a few men would be circulated throughout the Internet!

Sophia had been pushed to her doom!

Currently, Sophia was leaving the hall of the hotel, waiting for Michael to pick her up. After a while, she saw Michael’s SUV driving toward her.

Michael’s SUV was comparable to an RV. Though it was small, it had all the facilities required. It was equipped with a bed, a toilet, even a shower, and also a movable closet and a dressing table.

The SUV, along with two other cars, stopped in front of her. Hale, Gemma, and a bunch of people she didn’t know got out of the car.

Michael suddenly walked out from the hotel behind her. While he was walking, he threw away the wig he had been wearing earlier, revealing his induction cut.

He walked up behind Sophia, pressed on her shoulder, and pushed her toward the SUV. “I have no time to explain. Get in the car.”

Sophia was pushed into the car, baffled. A few people followed behind them into the car, and Hale gave her a gown.

“You guys have only one task today, which is to give all you have to make my woman beautiful. She must become the most stunning person in the entire hall! If she is not beautiful, you’ll have to redo and keep trying.”

The charity auction banquet next door hadn’t begun, but the guests had started entering the hall. The charity banquet today was held by Ethan, and this was also his first time organizing such a grand banquet.

The aim of tonight’s banquet was to raise funds for the left-behind children from poverty-stricken mountainous areas and out-of-school children. Ethan was going to auction off some of his personal items.

Only those truly from the nobility would receive the invitation card of the banquet.

But interestingly, all the guests who had attended the Harper Family’s engagement banquet next door could enter the hall using the engagement’s invitation card and a donation of a few ten thousand.

Therefore, Ethan received all the guests from the Harper Family engagement banquet next door.

Even the star of the engagement banquet—Richard and Xyla—abandoned their engagement banquet and came over.

They managed to enter the venue by donating 300,000 as a married couple.

Richard’s expression was dark, filled with solemn and anger, as if he was here to seek trouble. What else can I do? Go back to continue my engagement banquet without any guests? Or go in to question Ethan the reason he ruined my engagement banquet?

Before he actually entered the hall, he knew that he didn’t have the right to question Ethan—there were plenty of distinguished guests, whom he didn’t manage to invite, here at this charity banquet.

After they entered the charity banquet, as they expected, the place was incredibly lively, and most of Harper Family’s guests were here.

This was the place that truly portrayed the disparities and ranks of the upper-society class.

Ethan, who was decently dressed, stood among the crowd while speaking to someone from the elite society with a glass in his hand. His daring golden hair was shining brightly. As the star of the day, all the guests were here for him, and he was undoubtedly the most dazzling person in the hall.

With Ethan in the center, he was surrounded by the nobilities, such as the members of the Four Great Families, politicians, foreign royal families, and many more. This was the top-grade social circle.

The second-grade social circle was formed by the bunch of guests that came from the Harper Family’s banquet.

In their eyes, the top-grade social circle was an existence they could only look up to. Knowing their own places, they dared not approach them, for doing so would only embarrass themselves.

More and more distinguished guests stepped on the red carpet and entered through the door.

Those that attended the banquet were truly from the upper-class society, which was obviously a few grades higher than the Harper Family’s banquet. The group of reporters kept pressing on the shutter as they seldom had the chance to meet so many big shots at one time. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

“The winner of the Oscars Best Actor Award, Rocco, is here!”

“Beth, the winner of the Oscars Best Director Award with a box office of more than ten billion, is here!”

Distinguished guests arrived one after another. The celebrities of Glory Entertainment, who were not known by anyone outside of their country, revealed an expression that was filled with envy and jealousy. Those were some top-notch resources unattainable by both them and Glory Entertainment!

The group of celebrities under Glory Entertainment eagerly attempted to greet them, but they were completely ignored. Instead, the guests walked toward Ethan directly.

“Prince of Moscov is here?”

“The son of the wealthiest man in the world is here!”

“The President of Xoskha has arrived!”

Looking at the dazzling figures appearing one after another, Harper was dumbfounded.

He’s really able to invite all the powerful and influential people from the whole world! Poverty has restricted my imagination.

He had never thought that those high-ranking presidents and princes would actually attend this kind of banquet. Ethan’s connections were really unbelievably strong! This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, a commotion occurred within the crowd. “Irene Weber is here! Irene Weber is here!”

An incomparably-gorgeous woman appeared on the red carpet, wearing a sky-blue haute couture gown, and she stirred up a commotion among the reporters.

Richard was again staggered. Even Irene Weber, a top-notch celebrity who was eligible to attend the state banquet, was invited to the event.

Ethan Winston’s influence had actually reached such an astonishing stage!

After Irene Weber had arrived, Joel Fletcher arrived as well. He was here on business today—donating in the name of the military force. Therefore, he wore military wear, which made him stand out among the crowd.

Besides, as there were many politicians from other countries attending the banquet tonight, he was also in charge of the security of the place.

However, due to the reason that his relationship with Irene hadn’t been announced, they didn’t come together.

Joe and Faye relied on their relationship with the Edwards Family and managed to join the top-grade social circle, while Xyla and Richard relied on their relationship with Joe and managed to squeeze themselves into the top-grade social circle as well. Although they were ignored by most people here, it was already a great success to them by just being able to be part of the social circle.

Richard attempted to get closer to the few internationally-renowned directors to promote the celebrities of his company, but he was ignored. However, he refused to give up on this chance. He kept using his unskilled foreign language skills to chat with the directors awkwardly. He even attempted to use a generous amount of money to persuade the directors to accept the celebrities under his company into their crew.

Nevertheless, it was out of his expectations that the directors rejected him bluntly!
