My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 300

Michael glanced at the calendar on the wall. “It’s a weekend today, so the agency is closed. I’ll ask them to make a statement on Monday.”

Sophia’s gaze almost burned a hole on his head.

She had long seen through him. He was rich and a big player; the reason he entered the entertainment industry was only because he enjoyed acting. Since he didn’t rely on acting as his main source of income, he didn’t even bother to deal with all those scandals. He wasn’t afraid to be shunned by everyone because no one could resist him.

Besides, he wasn’t concerned about the feelings of his fans at all. In fact, he was totally unfazed even though countless of his fans were devastated due to his scandals.

However, as his die-hard fan, Sophia was so anxious that she jumped from her seat and ran off, phone in hand.

“Gemma, look into the IP address of this broadcast. Find out the IP address and report it to the nearest police station! Hale, bring some men to the scene to see if there’s anything you can help out with!”

Gemma found out the IP address in just a few seconds and reported it to the nearest police station. At that moment, the fan had already sealed off all the doors and windows, and she would lose her life in a few minutes.

Seeing that Hale was about to drive to the scene, Sophia felt worried, so she tagged along. Upon arriving at the scene, they noticed that the police and ambulance had arrived, and the girl had been rescued. She was barely alive, so it was lucky that help arrived in time. Sophia then followed them to the hospital. After making sure that the girl was alright, she anonymously paid the hospital bills and hurried off.

It was late at night when she finally arrived home, full of sweat. When she went online, she expectedly saw the internet flooded with curses directed toward Michael.

He was unperturbed by both the rumors of marriage fraud and suicide broadcast by a fan. These two incidents were already enough to attract the public’s hatred, but when they were coupled with some instigation by the online promoters to heat up the discussion, the internet became overwhelmed with reprimands directed toward Michael.

The key point was that he seemed to be totally unaware about this. He went out shooting every day and returned home on time for dinner. He was living the life of an old retiree, going to bed and waking up early, and drinking wolfberry-infused water.

The ‘War Dragon’ crew had started filming. Plenty of fans left comments on the film crew’s official page to show their protest, and some fans even went to the film set to create trouble and disrupt the filming.

Therefore, Michael was able to stay home happily. He was boycotted by his fans, so the filming crew asked him not to continue with shooting to avoid the limelight, which allowed him to stay home and have a couple of days off.

Sophia was so mad that she nearly spat blood. My idol, please be more concerned about the situation!

Even Nathan knew that his father was being badly reprimanded, so he went home furiously and complained to Sophia, “Mommy, they said that my daddy is a gay man who committed marriage fraud to get someone to bear his child.”

Sophia was fuming with anger. “Your daddy is not a person like that; your daddy is the most handsome idol in the world.”

He pouted in displeasure.

Although she knew who was pulling the strings behind them, she had no strength to fight back as she needed to prepare for examination. Therefore, it would be her time to perform after her exams were over!

The mid-term examination of Bayside University was an extremely important exam. As Faye knew that Sophia would definitely come on this day, she had had someone to keep an eye on her in advance. After the exam, she stopped her at the main gate of the university.

“Sophia, you cannot leave. You must take me to go and see my brother-in-law today!” Faye blocked her way and refused to let her leave.

Sophia coldly went around her.

Faye chased after her as she was unwilling to give up and maliciously threatened her, “Let me tell you this—if you refuse to tell me who your husband is today, I’ll destroy your reputation so that you won’t be able to continue to stay in Bayside University!”

Sophia chuckled before getting in her car and left.

Looking at Sophia’s car driving away, Faye had a sinister smile on her face. She then took out her phone to give Xyla a call. “You can order your team to start posting.”

At night, when Sophia arrived home, she dared not relax at all; she immediately started to do her revision to prepare for the examination tomorrow. The exam lasted for two days, and the mid-term exams carried a lot of weight of the overall assessment. Therefore, she must not do it half-heartedly.

After she started revising for a while, she suddenly received a call from their class monitor, Molly Lawson. “Sophia, check out our university forum now. Something has happened!”

What is it now?

She put down her book, logged in to Bayside University’s forum, and found a trending post on the first page of the forum. ‘Shocking news—Sophia Edwards, a student from Economic Law, has a few kept men, who are students from Bayside University!’

Upon seeing that, she was rendered speechless.

Anyone who saw the title would know the whole story. Someone anonymously spread the news that she had a few kept men who were from the same university even though she was already married. A photo was attached in the post as evidence—it was an intimate photo of Michael and her. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

The photo seemed to have been taken on the day the cash-counting competition was held. The photo where Michael and her were hugging intimately was taken by someone without their knowledge.

There was also another photo of when she was playing games in the cybercafé together with Stanley.

Since she was already married, the incident where she had a few kept men who were students from the same university seemed to have become a fact.

As the top educational institute of Cethos, it was definitely an appalling news to have such a scandal coming from Bayside University. On top of that, the report was made by someone using her real name, which generated a lot of clicks for the forum post.

There was another staggering information in the post—Sophia’s kept man actually looked exactly the same as the famous Best Actor, Taylor Murray. Rumor had it that he had gone through plastic surgery to have this look.

Someone even suggested that Sophia was obsessed with Taylor, so she intentionally had a kept man, who was a student from the university, and had him go through plastic surgery to have Taylor’s looks!

The post analyzed the situation and presented it in an organized and logical manner that was almost impeccable. It contained a lot of alarming news, and every single sentence could arouse the gossipy nature of its reader, inducing a hot discussion in the university forum in just a short period of time.

Sophia had been a fan of Taylor for over 6 months. After fighting with Taylor’s haters for so long, she had gained a lot of experience. Therefore, with just a glance at how the post was written, she knew that this was the work of Glory Entertainment’s professional team!

Glory Entertainment’s public relation team and promoters’ skills in defaming a person were one of the best in the industry. They were able to make their celebrities, who lacked acting skills, into famous idols, so of course they were able to defame someone as famous as Taylor Murray to the point that he was hated by everyone. Therefore, it was a piece of cake for them to slander her.

Looks like they really have high expectations on me by hiring an expensive team from Glory Entertainment to write this kind of post! Those people from Asco Entertainment are useless. We should replace them with the team from Glory Entertainment by offering them a high pay!

Sophia had no intention at all to bother with this kind of slanderous post. She just asked Gemma to hack the forum to delete the post.

However, she had underestimated the degree a slanderous post could circulate in the internet era. The next day, when she went to university, everyone looked at her in a strange manner. Even during her examination, the invigilator, Professor Clark, looked at her as if he had something to say.

“Professor Clark, what’s wrong?” she asked curiously.

He shook his head. “Take your exams first.”

After the paper in the morning, she went to the School of Computer Science to pick Nathan up to have lunch together. When they were in the canteen, everyone’s gazes on her were even weirder.

What exactly is going on? Could it be that this is due to the slanderous post yesterday? I’ve asked Gemma to delete it. I’ll just ignore it for now; the exam is more important.

After the exam in the afternoon, the mid-term examination was over. Sophia thought that she had performed well as she had answered all the questions properly, so her score this time around should be excellent. Her goal was to become the top 3 in her entire course.

It’s only halfway through the semester, but I have participated in many competitions, one after another. After I become the champion of the Esports World Championship, I’ll be able to obtain another five marks, and I will become more capable to compete for the national scholarship, she thought to herself in pleasure.

However, to her surprise, the moment the examination papers were all collected, Quinton suddenly said, “Sophia, the vice chancellor asked for your presence in his office.”
