Chapter 269


    The directors didn’tck 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 rmended by Richard were a bunch of unpopr 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 anothermotion 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 copse. However, hispany and him were like corpses, totally unfazed by the


    incidents.


    It was a rare asion 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.


    He was in his usual white shirt and ck suit, looking immacte. The ck-and-white monotone


    formed his whole world, entuating 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 wereparable 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 iparable 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 thetter 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 nced 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 beautifuldy 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 shes from the camera keptnding on the two of


    them.


    The man was L/K’s person-in-charge for Cethos—Kenny ir. 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, entuating her slim


    waist. The light tulle resembled ayer of hazy mist, revealing the long, slender curvature of her legs


    when she was walking.


    The girl had delicate makeup on, whichplemented her floral-patterned gown, and it made her look


    as stunning as a bouquet. Her ck 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 nce. It was the legendary Royal tinum Ring—the ‘Eternal Heart’.


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


    appearance.


    Kenny ir proudly introduced, “Everyone, this is the L/K limited-edition gown that will be released


    during thising 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’te 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.


    Simrly, when Faye and Xy 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, X 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 be 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!
