My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 269

The directors didn’t lack investment at all. They were the guarantee of box office, so the investors of their movies would be confirmed to make a profit. Their only requirement of the actors was their acting skills. Therefore, upon hearing that the actors recommended by Richard were a bunch of unpopular actors with box office of less than 500 million, they waved their hands to decline his offer.

Before the charity banquet officially began, all parties had started with their ‘performances’.

Stanley and Sean, who were sitting at a corner, had some food and beverages while taking care of Nathan. They even called Joel over to them.

Stanley gleefully shared the incident that happened next door earlier. “Uncle Joel, you didn’t watch the ‘show’ next door just now. But oh, my! It was exciting! Hahaha! You’ve missed an interesting show!”

Joel kept quiet with an impassive expression.

Nathan, who was in exquisite suit, sat in a corner with an indifferent expression as well.

Just now, his perception about life and value had been turned upside down. He was still a child, so he needed more time to digest it.

Suddenly, there was another commotion among the reporters.

“Taylor Murray is here!”

Taylor would definitely appear at wherever Ethan made an appearance. Taylor was usually low-profile, but he kept making the headlines recently due to all sorts of scandals, such as being out on the streets, molesting new actors, and bullying his juniors. These news were eye-catching, causing his image as an idol to almost collapse. However, his company and him were like corpses, totally unfazed by the incidents.

It was a rare occasion for him to appear here today, and the people involved in the few scandals were all here today as well. If I get to interview the star of the hot news directly…

The bunch of reporters eagerly waited for their chance to get the major news.

Under everyone’s attention, Michael finally appeared. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

He was in his usual white shirt and black suit, looking immaculate. The black-and-white monotone formed his whole world, accentuating his cold temperament and good-looking features. The buzz cut, which the public had never seen on him, brought his dashing looks to another level. He appeared in front of the media and public with this demeanor and looks that were unprecedented to him.

Daniel Levine appeared together with him.

The appearance of Taylor stirred an uproar!

Everyone was watching the news recently because Taylor’s scandals had reached a point where he became the center of the public’s attention. His daily updates were comparable to those cliché dramas.

Wasn’t he out on the street without any jobs or movies to film? Wasn’t he driven out of the industry because he raped the daughter of an official? Didn’t he offend half of the entertainment industry? How about his beer belly? And the wrinkles and age spots? But this person before everyone is so dazzling that he is blinding, looking totally incomparable with the shabby person the gossips said he was!

The two people walked on the red carpet. They hurried into the hall without pausing. Countless cameras and mics were shoved toward them but were stopped at both sides by the security guards and bodyguards.

“Mr. Taylor Murray, what are your thoughts about the incident where you bullied a junior, Gracie?”

“Taylor, what are your thoughts about Bethany being harassed?”

“Mr. Taylor Murray, what are your opinions about the recent rumors about you? Mr. Murray, Mr. Murray…”

He was like a wind that brushed past the reporters; he didn’t bother to answer those inappropriate questions.

His appearance itself was the best answer to them.

Michael walked up to Ethan and patted his shoulder, and the group of powerful and famous people around the latter surrounded them and warmly greeted them.

What did it take to be an idol? Only now did everyone know that an idol would be someone like Taylor Murray!

He, who had ‘offended the officials’, was currently carefreely chatting with a bunch of important politicians, and the arrogant princesses became his fangirls in front of him, queuing up for a chance to take a photo together with him. He, who had ‘offended half of the entertainment industry and was driven out of the industry’, was surrounded by the most well-known directors in the world. As a ‘washed-up middle-aged male actor’, he became the center of attention the moment he made an appearance.

Only now did everyone know how ridiculous and immature the widely-spread and seemingly-real scandals were.

It turned out that he didn’t reply to the press because he didn’t bother to.

When Richard saw the dazzling Taylor among the crowd, an unfathomable viciousness lurked deep within his eyes.

I believe that as long as I give myself some time, I’m definitely able to make another celebrity so famous that he can even surpass Taylor!

At the corner, Nathan looked around the hall, as if he was waiting for someone; Stanley was doing the same. “Nate, your nanny isn’t here yet!”

Nathan looked around over and over again, and his eyes glanced at the door anxiously. He almost became a rock from eagerly waiting for his mother.

Stanley took out his phone and gave Sophia a call. “Hello, Sophia, where are you? Why aren’t you here yet? Could it be that you are still next door?”

Sophia replied, “I’m with your ‘son’.”

Hearing that, Nathan blew up. She’s actually together with someone else’s son! I feel so aggrieved and helpless… Mommy doesn’t want me anymore! She wants someone else’s son!

All of a sudden, the sound of the reporters wildly pressing on the shutters of their cameras was heard. There seemed to be a big shot arriving at the hall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the door and found a handsome man and a beautiful lady there. Stepping on the red carpet, they strolled into the hall, and they even intentionally stopped for a few seconds at the door.

The sound of hitting the shutters was heard, and the flashes from the camera kept landing on the two of them.

The man was L/K’s person-in-charge for Cethos—Kenny Blair. He wore a fitting suit, looking pleased as he held the arm of the girl next to him. He seemed to be full of pride.

The girl beside him instantly became the center of attention of the entire hall. She was wearing an elegant white gown that seemed a little pinkish. The long hem of her skirt dragged along the floor, and the skirt was dotted with some floral pattern.

The garment, which was light and thin, wrapped around the girl’s exquisite body, accentuating her slim waist. The light tulle resembled a layer of hazy mist, revealing the long, slender curvature of her legs when she was walking.

The girl had delicate makeup on, which complemented her floral-patterned gown, and it made her look as stunning as a bouquet. Her black hair was worn in an exquisite bun and embellished with two elegant, stary hair pins. She looked like a flower fairy.

She had a tall figure with an outstanding beauty. She was holding a handbag in her hand and wearing a ring embedded with a red jewel. Any person who knew about jewelry could tell the origin of the ring with just a glance. It was the legendary Royal Platinum Ring—the ‘Eternal Heart’.

Everyone looked at the girl as she managed to grab everyone’s attention the moment she made an appearance.

Kenny Blair proudly introduced, “Everyone, this is the L/K limited-edition gown that will be released during this coming spring—‘Greenery’! There is only one piece in the whole world. Hahaha…”

Only one piece!

Everyone looked at the girl while burning in envy and jealousy, and at the same time, admiring her beauty.

Richard stared at the girl who captured everyone’s attention as well, so astonished by her looks that he couldn’t come to his senses.

Isn’t that Sophia?

Before he could figure out how she became L/K’s model, all his thoughts were absorbed by her beauty.

She was absolutely breathtaking today! Her beauty was enchanting, and he really felt that his soul was taken away from him by her.

Similarly, when Faye and Xyla lay their eyes on Sophia, they couldn’t believe their eyes.

Why is she here?

Upon seeing Richard’s gaze, which was full of his obsession toward Sophia, Xyla gripped on her gown so tightly with one hand that she pulled out the jewels on it.

I can’t believe that this wild chick could actually become L/K’s model. And she even dressed up so flirtatiously! Does she think that she would be able to snatch Richard away this way? In her dreams!
