Chapter 543
Sophia had gone mad for the sake of boosting ticket sales. She neglected her studies, her work, and her
company to focuspletely on her fangirl activities! She had gone bonkers! When the box office
earnings passed 5 billion, she sent cured meat to 10 lucky-draw winners. Later, she sent cured sausages
to 10 lucky-draw winners when box office earnings went over 5.5 billion. Then, when box office earnings
hit 6 billion, she sent out dried fish to 10 lucky-draw winners.
There was another person who was as crazy as she was. Ever since the rtionship between Sarah and
Harry was exposed, she no longer tried to keep it a secret. Rather, she boldly and openly went over to
his ce. Moreover, every time she went there, she would rummage through his house and take
everything she could get her hands on. His toothbrush, shaver, towel, random doodle, barely-read
books… She took them all and gave them all away.
When box office earnings passed 5 billion, she gave away the used toothbrush stolen from her idol’s
house. Later, she gave away a packet of snacks stolen from her idol’s house when box office earnings
went over 5.5 billion. Then, when box office earnings hit 6 billion, she gave away a rusty kitchen knife
stolen from his house.
…
Meanwhile, Stanley, as the president of thepany, could only look on as his two employees neglected
their studies and their work just to pursue their fangirling activities. Therefore, he came forward to
comin many times. Unfortunately, Michael was very tolerant toward Sophia’s fangirling behavior.
Every day, he only repeated three things to her: “Do you have enough money? Don’t overwork yourself!
Leave it to me!”
Due to the previous incident, Sophia suffered from a mild case of depression. Hence, he tended to
coddle her nowadays. She could worry over whatever she wanted to worry about as long as she was
happy. Making my wife happy is my top priority!
In this regard, Stanley only had one opinion, A doting husband spoils his wife! That day, he noisily rushed
over to Michael’s house again, shouting, “Uncle Michael, something big came up again!”
When Stanley rushed into The Imperial, Michael had an inkling of what he was going to say as he was
sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching thetest news with a frown on his face.
In today’s breaking news on Cethos’ entertainment industry, the famous actor, Taylor Murray, was
suspected of human trafficking, having reportedly bought an underage girl for 80,000 to be his wife.
At the same time, a scandal broke out revealing that the popr actor, Ethan Winston, was in an intimate
rtionship with one of his fans. He was revealed to have had a one-night-stand with ‘Little Kitten’, a
high-profile individual among his fan group. Moreover, he refused to take responsibility after sleeping
with her.
Harry and Little Kitten’s rtionship was practically an open secret by now. After all, she had taken so
many of his personal belongings and given them away. Even his sweaty shirt had been stolen to give
away to his fans in exchange for more ticket sales. Thus, it was hardly a secret anymore.
However, Michael had never expected that Richard would go so far just to boost the earnings of his
terrible movie—Richard had chosen to take the risk and expose Sophia’s identity.
This time around, Richard had gonepletely nuts—he bought over several ghost ounts to create
groundless rumors. The rumors imed that Taylor Murray had abducted and sold underage girls, and
his wife, Eddie Fletcher, had been sexually vited when she was a child.
Richard was desperate to discredit Michael and suppress the box office earnings of ‘Doctor Invincible’.
He even dug up all the dirt on Sophia from her past. For example, he imed that she had undergone an
abortion during her high school years and that she used to have rtionships with many men. Cobbling
together bits and pieces of truth mixed with lies, he exposed them all at once. In particr, he highlighted
the fact that Sophia had been molested as a child. He also emphasized that the male celebrity had
married a woman that had been sexually vited before. Thus, no matter what the male celebrity said, it
would still make his fans extremely ufortable.
Despite knowing that these rumors would eventually blow up in his face, he couldn’t care less right now.
He wanted to drag Taylor Murray through the mud for as many days as he could. After all, a movie would
only show in the cinemas for a month. Even if he could only drag it out for half a month, it would still
greatly impact the ticket sales of the movie. Besides, he also hired many ghostwriters to go on a
denouncing spree against Michael, criticizing him and using him of human trafficking. Looking at the
degree of madness, it felt like Michael was being condemned by the public.
If it were the past, Michael would have ignored these rumors. However, the situation this time was
different—it involved Sophia. Therefore, he hurriedly contacted his agency to rify everything. Sophia
did not wish to have her identity exposed. Not only that, but she was also not mentally prepared for it.
More importantly, he did not wish to use such methods to expose their rtionship to the public.
After hanging up on his agency, he turned to Stanley and said, “Don’t let your aunt know about this yet.”
Only then did Stanley realize that he had seen neither hide nor hair of Sophia even though he had
arrived for a while now. Thus, he quietly asked, “Where is she?”
At the mention of Sophia, Michael couldn’t help smiling. “She’s making cured meat in the kitchen.”
Contrary to his expectations, Sophia, who was in the kitchen, received a phone call right at that moment.
It was from somebody she never expected to hear from. “Haha; Sophia, I could never have imagined that
you became Taylor Murray’s wife! What a stroke of luck!”
Sophia was not surprised to receive an ill-intentioned call from X. From the time she invited Richard
into the Edwards Residence at Riverdale, she had prepared herself for X to learn of it too.
At the moment, she was wearing an apron as she made cured meat. Her phone was held in Nichs’
hand and set on hands-free mode. Besides, it came as no surprise to her that X would call and kick
up a fuss. Thus, she continued sprinkling a handful of salt into the meat and then mixing it vigorously
while responding, “You must be surprised. I married the most charming man in the world!”
On the other side of the phone, X smiled mockingly. She was acting as if she had already won.
“Sophia, all you married is a clown!” The tone of her voice made it sound as if marrying a celebrity was
something to be ashamed of. Then, she borated, “Did you think that you would stand above others
just because you married him? Let me tell you; you are still the same wench as before. Even if you left
the nest, you are still nothing but an ugly duckling! It’s a piece of cake for the Huff Family to bring you
down! Did you think that clown, Taylor, could protect you? Dream on! It’s easy to ruin him! Just you wait;
he will be a goner by tomorrow!”
Her tone had reached the point where she was hysterical and fuming with rage, and it was clear to see
that she was beyond madness. Thus, she frantically scorned and derided Taylor and Sophia to the max.
At first, she thought Sophia would falter and show her weakness. Contrary to her expectations, the other
party simply replied nonchntly, “I’m making cured meat right now; I’m hanging up.”
After hanging up, X paced about Richard’s office in satisfaction. She was so excited that her hands
were shaking. The way she acted was as if she already had Sophia crushed under her feet and the ticket
sales of her movie had gone through the roof.
Meanwhile, Richard frowningly stared at thetest news intently. It was not the first time he had defamed
Taylor. Every time he felt that sess was at hand or that he could bring down his opponent, he would
end up failing miserably. But, it was different this time—it felt like victory was in his hands. After all, he
held Taylor’s greatest weakness in his hand. He had used Taylor of dealing in human trafficking. Even
so, he felt extremely unsure. Unfortunately, he had no other choice but to fight on.

At the same time, X called Joe. “Hey, Uncle Joe! Did you see the news today? Sigh. I honestly could
not have imagined that! To think Sophia married Taylor Murray! What a surprise! I think she is ashamed
of you, Uncle Joe. It looks like she wants to cut ties with you!”
On the other side of the phone, Joe jumped up in anger. He could never have imagined that Sophia’s
old, ugly, and wealthy husband would turn out to be Taylor Murray! It was beyond his wildest
imaginations! “That motherf*cker! That wench deceived me and stole so much money from me! How
dare she think of cutting ties with me?! No f*cking way! This time around, I’m going to y her skin! Isn’t
that husband of hers a celebrity? Isn’t he worried about his reputation? I’m going to ruin their reputation!
That f*cking b*tch!”
