Chapter 247


    Sophia’s heart skipped a beat as she sneaked a nce at Michael at the side. She thought he would be


    very furious or at least show that he was slightly bothered by that, but he acted as though he didn’t hear


    it at all. He even held his cell phone and looked at himself on the screen, as if his cell phone was a


    mirror. He tidied up his hair and smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt.


    She told him hurriedly, “There’s nothing interesting to talk about on this subject. There is so much news


    on the Inte with unknown credibility. Who knows that maybe someone tried to defame him behind his


    back on purpose?


    Let’s talk about thepetition instead. Are you guys ready for it?” However, everyone seemed


    uninterested about thepetition. They just couldn’t stop once they started gossiping.


    “Eh? Sophia, this is your idol we’re talking about!”


    “Something happened to your idol. You should at least say something about it!”


    “Everyone knows you’re a fan of Taylor. You were still giving out movie tickets in ssst time when


    Taylor’s movie was up in the cinemas. This time, so many dark secrets about your idol have been


    exposed on the Inte and you don’t have anything to say about it?”


    “Didn’t you say that the biggest dream in your whole life is to getid by Taylor?”


    Sophia goggled at them in shock with her jaw hanging, as though someone had exposed her evil deeds.


    She blushed with embarrassment as her eyes darted around. Her face became redder when she


    sneaked a peek at Michael beside her and noticed that he was chuckling in a low voice. She stammered,


    “U-Uh… It was just a joke. I was just joking around…” This is embarrassing! This is REALLY


    embarrassing!


    Suddenly, everyone realized her real boyfriend was still sitting at the side. They stopped talking


    simultaneously. However, Michael seemed like he didn’t mind at all. He put down his cell phone and said


    with a smile, “You guys, please continue. Don’t mind me. I know she likes Taylor.


    That’s why I purposely went overseas to have a stic surgery and make myself look like Taylor.” He


    removed his sses and purposely blinked at everyone. “The doctor said you absolutely can’t see any


    incision on my face at all. Now, I look more than 98% alike with Taylor.”


    All the girls were utterly shocked. No wonder he looks like Taylor! It turns out that he had stic surgery!


    That’s true love indeed to actually have a stic surgery to turn himself into his girlfriend’s idol! The girls


    believed each and every single nonsense that Michael told thempletely. Thus, they began to gossip


    openly without considering much about Sophia’s feelings.


    “Your girlfriend likes Taylor very much! I just saw she has Taylor’s stickers all over her book two days


    ago!”


    “She put a photo of Taylor in a pair of swimming trunks as the wallpaper on her cell phone screen!”


    “She even has a bookmark with Taylor’s picture on it!”


    Sophia became very embarrassed and uneasy, as if she was sitting on a chair full of prickly needles. She


    felt so nervous that her entire body froze and she sat there stiffly with her face lowered, not daring to


    speak a word. The Sophia within her arched her head heavenward and screamed desperately, Ah! Stop


    talking about that! It’s really embarrassing!


    Finally, thepetition began. Sophia grabbed her bag and dashed up the stage, not daring to look at


    Michael. “I’m off to thepetition!”


    Although she walked away, she still paid attention to the conversation that followed. A girl asked, “Your


    girlfriend is such a huge fan of her idol and admires him so much. Will that give you any pressure?”


    Michael pondered about it for a while. Sitting by the window, the sun shone brightly on him and his brand


    new uniform, enveloping him in a golden hue. His eyes were filled with tenderness and love as he


    seemingly fixed his eyes on Sophia wherever she went. “As long as she likes it.” The words he said were


    full of love and adoration. Michael publicly showed his affection for Sophia in front of all the girls, making


    all of them feel envious of Sophia for having a boyfriend who loved her so much.


    Sophia lowered her head too, feeling so embarrassed that she had goosebumps. Still, she was slightly


    touched when she heard the words Michael said.


    The cash-countingpetition was just a small contest within the school. The winner would not be


    rewarded with credit points but with just a certificate. Contestants were even required to bring their own


    practice notes to thepetition.


    Since thepetition was about to begin soon, the contest judge professors and the host had taken


    their stations. It was said that the host was from the School of Cinematography. Everyone was a little


    surprised when the host entered thepetition venue.


    “Hello, everyone. I’m your host for today’s cash-countingpetition.”


    A pleasant voice was heard echoing through the ce. Sophia, who was filling up the contestant’s form,


    was startled. She raised her head and saw a couple entering the ce hand in hand.


    The girl wore a pure white dress, looking like a butterfly that was about to spread its wings and fly. The


    guy wore a high-ss well-tailored casual outfit, which made him look exceptionally handsome; both of


    them looked perfect together. The couple was actually X and Richard.


    Richard hadn’t been to ss for such a long time now. What is the meaning of this? Why did he suddenly


    show up at thepetition today?


    Michael, who was mingling among the girls and finding out his young bride’s daily habits in the university,


    frowned as he automatically turned to look at Sophia. He noticed that Sophia was seemingly unaffected


    by his presence. She still lowered her head and continued with her writing.


    With the cking sounds of her high heels, X strode across to the center of the stage with the ever so


    bright and cheerful smile on her exquisitely beautiful face. She began hosting thepetition. As for


    Richard, he found a seat down the stage and sat down properly. Coincidentally, he sat beside Michael


    with just an aisle in between them. All of a sudden, the atmosphere became awkward.


    Just then, a girl from the same ss as Sophia reminded Michael in a low voice, “The guy sitting next to


    you is Sophia’s ex-boyfriend!”


    Michael just replied with a ‘yeah’ without any other reactions.


    However, Richard seemed to have heard something and he turned to look at Michael. I saw this guy at


    the basketball matchst time. He looks a lot like Taylor Murray! Why is he here? It seems he looks even


    more like Taylor up close. In fact, he looks like the Taylor from ten years ago.


    The Harper Group yed a part in the revtion of a series of dark secrets revolving around Taylor,


    which went viral on the Inte recently. The Harper Group was thergest shareholder of Glory


    Entertainment Company. Almost all the management executives in Glory Entertainment were people


    from Harper Group. Richard had begun to officially take over the business of Harper Group too, starting


    from Glory Entertainment.


    Taylor’s resources were so abundant that it made everyone feel angry and jealous about him. Glory


    Entertainment orchestrated the revtion of the series of dark secrets of Taylor this time as an attempt to


    bring him down once and for all. They tried to snatch all the resources from himpletely and to


    poprize several young new actors from Glory Entertainment. They attempted to take this opportunity


    to produce a third Oscar-winning best actor.


    Before the revtion of the series of dark secrets, Harper Group had received some news beforehand


    that someone intended to mess with Taylor. It was rumored that the person was a Fletcher…


    Richard guessed it was Joel. After all, he could feel the unusual interaction between Joel and Taylor at


    Ka’s birthday party. He knew Taylor had messed with someone he shouldn’t mess with. So, it was the


    perfect time to pull him down now. Coincidentally, someone from the entertainment industry wanted to


    work with Glory Entertainment and crush Taylor, the always so popr superstar who had been at the


    top of the movie rankings for such a long time. Therefore, Richard decided to let Glory Entertainment be


    the first to take the opportunity to initiate the revtion of the series of dark secrets. Thus, he naturally


    couldn’t help but n something in his mind now that he saw a guy who looked like Taylor.


    Taylor’s reputation was ruined beyond repair. Following the revtion of his dark secrets, several


    investors for his new movie had begun to boycott Taylor, including the investor of Harper Real Estates,


    who kept pressing the production crew to boycott Taylor. It was just a matter of time before they re-cast


    Taylor. Besides, he was old and didn’t look as attractive as he used to be anymore. With the change in


    his appearance and his reputation ruined, it was very difficult for him to return to the entertainment


    business anymore. Richard thought, If Glory Entertainment is to poprize a new generation of idols


    who looked like Taylor now, then this guy…


    Now, Glory Entertainment had begun to purposely select new artists who looked like Taylor and started


    training them. However, they hadn’te across anyone who looked so much like Taylor before!


    The man in front of him seemed like a student of Bayside University. He looked rather attractive and


    resembled Taylor very much. Richard wondered whether he had signed any contracts to be an


    artist with any entertainment agency…
