My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 270

The person who is engaged to Richard is me, Xyla Huff!

She held Richard’s arm, as if she had become the top winner in life, as if Sophia had lost the light in her life when she lost Richard, and her toughness was merely a pretense.

However, little did she know that the current Sophia didn’t bother to notice their existence.

Upon entering the door, Sophia located the tallest and most good-looking guest in the hall, and her delicate face slightly flushed red.

My idol is always the most handsome!

Kenny proudly flaunted his best work. This time, it was Kenny himself who brought Sophia in, so nobody suspected that it was a high-quality replica.

After standing on the red carpet for a few seconds, slowly and elegantly, she trod into the hall.

Everyone who was present was guessing her identity.

Which family is this lady from? Judging from her temperament and outfit, she must be from the nobility. She couldn’t be a model because there isn’t anyone like her in the modelling industry!

When Faye saw Sophia, she knew that her plans had failed. She glared at her resentfully while listening to the girls around her discussing her background. She pouted and begrudgingly muttered, “Supermodel? A young lady from a wealthy family? Her name is Sophia Edwards, a student from Bayside University. She’s at most a freelance model!”

A freelance model?

The news was spread out in a short period of time.

The new product of L/K is actually debuted by a freelance model? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

A lot of supermodels present at the scene were displeased.

As an international brand, there were countless models scrambling to work for L/K, but they actually used a freelance model instead.

When Kenny heard the news, he was pissed off. A freelance model? This flower fairy is the owner of ‘Greenery’! However, since she wished to keep a low profile, he couldn’t tell everyone the truth. He had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and focus on showing off his new product.

Faye exaggerated about Sophia in the crowd. “She attended the same high school as my cousin, and everyone in the school knew that she had an abortion when she was studying. She then pretended to be pure and innocent after she managed to enter Bayside University!”

When Joe saw Sophia from one side, he was shocked, thinking that he might have seen wrongly. However, after listening to Faye’s words, he realized that her name, school, and all the facts about her matched the person he had in mind.

It turns out that she was actually his illegitimate daughter whom he had sold for 80,000—Sophia Edwards!

Ever since he sold off this root of all his misfortune, his career began to flourish. Not only was his company listed with him as one of the largest shareholders, which caused him to become part of the nobility in Bayside City, he was even able to build connections with the Edwards Family and bring his business to a whole new level.

Of course, he didn’t tell anybody about this. Therefore, his family didn’t know that he had an illegitimate daughter.

Sophia knew that Faye was spreading rumors about her, but she didn’t even bother to deal with it, since they were not from the same social circle.

Suddenly, the crowd parted, and a little figure ran toward her with loud footsteps. The little guy charged into her arms and hugged her leg.

“Nate, you’re here too!”

Nathan held her hand and pulled her to a corner. Along the way, there were plenty of people who kept handing her their name cards in an attempt to get to know her. “Young lady, are you interested to shoot for an advertisement?”

“We are short of a female lead actress for our drama.”

“Miss, can I get to know you?”

A lot of people wanted to know Sophia, but all of them backed off at Nathan’s cold glare.

I’ll glare at anybody who looks at my mother!

Nathan grabbed Sophia and seated her on a couch at the corner. Attentively, he got her some cakes and beverages, as if he was afraid that she would prefer someone else’s son over him.

I won’t allow it even if it is Stanley’s son!

Stanley, who was again awestruck by Sophia, approached her and grinned. “Fifi, you look gorgeous today!”

Sophia took a sip of water. She dared not drink much because this gown showed her figure more visibly than the ‘Moonlight in an Ancient Well’, so even drinking a little water might affect her figure.

However, she was really thirsty after she had gone through a tough time that felt like half a day together with Michael’s styling team. She was dressed up flamboyantly before being sent in here for Michael to admire. It was like a battle.

I find myself really pretty today too. My idol must have looked at me just now!

Sophia didn’t bother to reply to Stanley, but the latter leaned closer to her and asked, “Fifi, can we have dinner together tonight?”

Stanley’s yearning for her was so obvious on his face that Joel couldn’t bear to continue looking at it, so he pushed away his perverted face. “Behave yourself!”

Only then did Stanley control his behaviors, but he kept leaning close to Sophia.

At that moment, Sophia spoke to Joel, “Hello, General.”

Joel’s cold expression slightly eased. “Hmm. Have fun today.”

He was wearing earphones as he had to give commands at any time. His aim today was not only to attend the banquet; he was in charge of the security of the venue as well.

His pair of eyes resembled an eagle’s, sharply scanning through the hall. There were plenty of police in plain clothes and snipers hidden in the hall, prepared to take action at any time the moment something unusual happened.

Nevertheless, his mind kept drifting to the dazzling girl at the side. He couldn’t control it, nor he could stop it. Deep within his calm eyes, a hint of fierce competitive desire of a wolf was spreading.

In comparison to his calm and contained desire, Stanley’s desire for her was obvious on his face.

“Fifi, are you free tonight? Nate is a big boy now, so he doesn’t need a nanny. How about you take a rest from taking care of this child tonight and watch a movie with me? You actually walked on the red carpet together with my ‘son’, but you didn’t walk with me. I’m sad… sob…”

If it weren’t for Joel watching them from the side and Nathan blocking him in the middle, he would have glued himself to Sophia.

Sophia peeked at Sean, who was at one side, and noticed the helpless look on his face.

She felt helpless as well. Stanley is so untactful and slow-witted! I only have my idol in my eyes and heart!

As she now had a little free time, she quickly took out her phone. As expected, the internet was hyped up.

In just a short time, the discussion on the internet had changed. Those who had eloquently talked about Taylor’s scandals were badly reprimanded. Only now did everyone realize that all the scandals were ill- intentioned slander!

Taylor’s fans left thousands of comments on Bethany’s Twitter, and all of the comments were urging her to apologize.

And just now, Bethany posted a photo of her and Taylor together. In the photo, Taylor was incredibly good-looking, causing Bethany to look like a maid beside him. The caption of the photo was, ‘I had been shooting for a while, so I had no time to go online. When I checked my phone during the banquet tonight, I have never thought that I would find the rumors spreading around like wildfire online. Everyone has been mistaken—the person I was talking about was definitely not Mr. Taylor Murray! He is forever my idol, and I’ll support him forever!’

When this post was posted, the discussion online swerved in a completely different direction.

Seeing that, Sophia sneered, F*ck off! Your vague post caused everyone to curse him so badly. Do you think that you can escape the blame with just a simple denial that you weren’t talking about him? What a great tactic!

Taylor was normally indifferent, and he refused to take photos with anyone, but today, he actually agreed to take photos with a lot of celebrities of Glory Entertainment.

The group of celebrities were extremely excited. They posted the photos on their Twitter, feeling more exhilarated than their fans.

All rumors and scandals were scotched.

The effect was immediate. On the ranking of the Light of Cethos, Taylor and Ethan’s votes shot up like a fountain. In just a brief moment, they escalated from being the top 10 to the top 5, and judging from this speed, they would be able to become the champion tonight!

Looking at the list, Sophia was pleased, and her pinkish little face was glowing, making her look adorable.

Michael was standing at the center of the social circle of the rich and wealthy, but his gaze kept wandering toward a certain corner. As if he saw something, he smiled in pleasure.

If it weren’t because I noticed that Sophia was so worried about my scandals and the dropping ranking to the point where she couldn’t eat or sleep, I wouldn’t have bothered to hold this troublesome charity banquet!
