Chapter 168
Amidst the hushed discussion in the crowd, the most revered number 3 elevator in the middle finally
opened its doors. Mr. Harper was standing in the elevator respectfully with a slight bow while two men in
suits and leather shoes stood beside him. Both men wore identical ck suits, but they were radiating
completely different vibes.
One of them stood valiant while looking very handsome. A pair of gold-wire rimmed sses settled on
his straight nose, making him look especially gentle with the faint smile ying across his lips. In fact, he
was emanating a type of exceptional charm. On the other side, the other man looked arrogant with his
eye-catching blonde hair. Hisrge eyes and bushy eyebrows made him look aggressive.
As soon as they showed up, the entire banquet hall seemed to sparkle brilliantly with the fame of the
celebrities silencing the room for several minutes. After moments of dead silence, someone screamed at
the top of their lungs, “That’s… Taylor Murray!!”
“Ethan Winston is here too!”
“Oh my God! The Harpers’ banquet is such a huge deal! I can’t believe they managed to invite Taylor
Murray and Ethan Winston! They are awesome!”
Michael and Harry walked side-by-side. They wore the same clothes, but withpletely different styles
and charms. A smile or a twinkle in their eyes were enough to send the women present into a frenzy.
Mr. Harper felt himself glowing with pride while basking in the fame and brilliance of the two extremely
famous celebrities. These two aren’t merely any actors—they are Academy Award winners for Best
Actor. They have been in the film industry for over a decade now and everyone all around Cethos are
aware of who they are. Furthermore, they are good with finance. I heard that one of them owns arge
share of Asco International and is therefore well known in the financial world! Our ancestors are definitely
kind to the Harpers today. Apart from Joel, they even sent over two Academy Award-winning Best
Actors!
Ka was delighted as well. Due to her broken leg, she was unable to attend the meet and greet session
for ‘Doctor Invincible’. As a result, she was extremely jealous and full of hate when she saw X
boasting about the photographs she took during the event. Yet, she never expected that the two Best
Actors would attend her birthday party. Oh, my God! I feel like I might faint from the exhration!
She subconsciously nced at her usual close friends and noticed that they were also fascinated by
Ethan and Taylor, as if bewitched. It was especially true for X, who looked as if she was about to drool
from the corner of her mouth. Ka couldn’t help but feel proud and pleased with herself since their
appearance had obviously reflected well on her.

X was extremely irritated when she saw how pleased Ka was, so she thought to herself, When
Richard shows the Eternal Love off, you’ll definitely be green with envy.
The Harper siblings and X weed the Best Actors in a friendly manner while enthusiastically
greeting them. Both Best Actors wore ck suits, which automatically made them look cold and
arrogant. Hence, the Harpers could already feel their unmistakable presence from a distance and felt
goosebumps all over their body reflexively.
Joel merely smirked when he saw Michael and Harry turning up all of a sudden. On the other hand,
Sophia was scared witless, so the first thing she thought of was, I need to run for my life! I’ll end up dead
if I don’t escape now!
She turned to run away, but Stanley, who was oblivious to the circumstances, grabbed onto her dress.
“Sophie, why are you running away? Look, my uncle is here. I’m sure he is here to support you! Ah, how
could such a gentle and kind person exist in this world? He wouldn’t even allow others to bully his
subordinate—the nanny!”
She felt anxious and started to panic when she saw how intoxicated he was. Nevertheless, she was
helpless, considering that she couldn’t move as Stanley clung onto her dress. His actions were as bad as
the reporter earlier.
The Harpers eagerly invited Michael and Harry into the banquet hall. Michael suddenly looked as if he
noticed something because he was striding toward a corner. Joel was standing in that corner. Michael
then greeted him with a friendly and warm smile—his appearance screamed ‘polished scoundrel’. “Joel,
it’s been such a long time.”
Joel nodded indifferently.
The two had previously appeared together during the cast and crew meet-and-greet in the barracks, so it
wasn’t odd for them to be acquainted with each other. However, what was odd was Michael walking past
Joel after greeting thetter to make his way to someone else. Who is Taylor looking for?
The man walked straight to Sophia, who was hiding in the corner, and stopped in front of her. Standing
tall at six-feet-one, he stared at her—she was barely tall enough to reach his neck—at a corner in a blind
spot with love and tenderness in his eyes. Sophia looked up and met his gaze with a stiff expression
while smiling awkwardly at him.
Everybody was puzzled when they saw that. How is Sophia associated with Taylor?
Michael kept his head bowed while speaking in a deep and alluring voice, “How do you like the Eternal
Love ring?”
Sophia instinctively nced at the Ido’s Imperial Diamond Ring that she wore with a sudden warmth
radiating along her finger. She had already signed a lease with Bayside City Museum, so she would
deliver the ring to them in two days’ time and only brought it out to the event today for the fun of it.
Initially, she nned on keeping a low profile without showing its brilliance to the public, but she never
expected him to casually expose her with what he said.
She then stole a nce at the crowd surrounding her—many of her university mates stared at her in
shock. They definitely did not expect me to wear an original L/K while wearing the authentic Eternal
Love! It’s the Ultimate Ring in the world—priced at 70 million!
X was especially dumbfounded when she heard what Taylor said before her mind went nk. Is
Sophia wearing an authentic Eternal Love? I can’t believe it’s the authentic ring! Didn’t Richard say that
he had already purchased the Eternal Love ring for me? How could it possibly be with Sophia?
The news of Richard purchasing the Eternal Love for X as a surprise gift had merely been a rumor
circting among university students. The small social circle was currently in a frenzy upon learning this
piece of update.
“Mary, didn’t you mention that the Harper Family was the one that bought the Eternal Love? How did it
end up on Sophia’s finger?”
“Oh, I heard that from Helen. Helen! You gave me a full ount of how the Harpers had purchased the
Eternal Love! You have to prove that now!”
“I have no idea. I heard someone had bought the Eternal Love, so I assumed that it was the Harpers. I
deliberately asked X about it and she did not deny it either.”
“It seems like she has ttered herself. Well, I suppose we were excited for no apparent reason!”
Everybody had started a heated discussion about this issue whereas X, who was now the topic of
discussion, started to tremble slightly. She felt exposed, as if the crowd had ripped her clothes apart to
openly stare at her and that everyone was trampling over her self-esteem from inside out. She
subconsciously dug her nails into the flesh of her palm and her bloodshot eyes stared at Sophia, as if
they might spit fire. How dare that b*tch wear such an expensive ring! Who gave her the courage to do
so?
Sophia seemed to be shining brilliantly at that moment. Everyone finally understood why her imitation
outfit seemed more superior than X’s authentic outfit. It turns out Sophia’s outfit is the real deal!
Those students, who were gleefully posting on Bayside University’s forum a moment ago, were utterly
humiliated and started to delete their posts in haste.
