Chapter 586
The twodies exchanged nces like that before they immediately went to watch the show with
everyone else.
The banquet this day was not only Linus’ housewarming banquet, but also the first banquet he held since
coming to Bayside City. Therefore, theunching of his products was an important part of the banquet.
Everyone took their seats in proper order, including Sophia, who naturally sat next to Michael as his wife.
The two of them simultaneously looked toward the stage to see Linus going up on the stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m very honored to be able to invite you all to my housewarming banquet.”
Linus impressed everyone with his clear voice and fluent Cethosiannguage.
Gasps of amazement could be heard from the crowd, for everyone was surprised that Linus could speak
such fluent Cethosiannguage with no trace of an ent.
Linus then began to introduce his products.
All the electronic products shown at the banquet were new products that hadn’t been announced by the
Michel Family yet, including the eye-catching robot and others.
All the guests gasped with wonder as they expressed their amazement. The Michel Group was indeed
different, so it wasn’t unjust that an electronicpany like Huffs Technology lost to them!
The Mitchell Family had received an invitation to this day’s banquet, so several members of the family
attended the banquet to fish for information. Seeing the products the Michel Family disyed, they were
envious, but they could do nothing.

The Mitchell Family couldn’t find a talent as powerful as Linus!
They felt as if they had seen the end of the Mitchell Family. Was the distinguished family thatsted a
century really going to retire from the stagepletely? Would the family withdrawpletely from the
high-tech electronic industry?
Or would the family be forced into the second ce and have to survive at the mercy of others?
At this very moment, they thought of Cooper Mitchell—the genius—once again. If Cooper could return to
the Mitchell Family, the Mitchells would have no problem returning to its peak!
The product disy on this day was an eye-opener for the guests, for they never thought that high
technology could be utilized in such a way. We must hurry up and ce orders!
Linus’ product disy ended with a dance by a robot.
The robot, dressed like a human, began to dance on the stage very much like a human with flexible
joints and extremely standard movements.
The dance drew bursts of apuse and cheers among the guests from time to time.
Several popr celebrities had also been invited to perform at this day’s banquet. Those who could be
guest performers at Linus’ banquet were definitely big names in show business, including Irene.
As a military singer, Irene rarely performed inmercial events, yet she attended Linus’ housewarming
banquet as a guest performer, which was enough proof of Linus’ social standing.
Compared to inviting any superstars, it was a greater honor to be able to invite Irene to perform at the
banquet.
All the guests below the stage apuded and cheered when Irene came up on stage.
She began singing a song in a loud and clear voice. Being an all-around singer, Irene could sing bel
canto, pop songs, and folk songs; she easily outssed everyone the instant she sang. Her wonderful
singing voice put some pop singers who were present at the banquet to shame.
It was no wonder that even the President would invite her to perform during dinners with foreign political
heavyweights. Her wonderful singing voice really made her worthy of her status!
Sophia felt a tingle in her heart again. Sh*t, I’m gloomy deep down inside.8
She couldn’t help feeling that Irene kept making eyes at Michael and that he and Irene were exchanging
amorous nces. Also, she couldn’t help feeling that there was something between the two of them and
that they would rekindle their rtionship and make up with each other.
However, she had to wear a smile of wonder and pretend to be blown away by Irene’s singing.
Irene was already dripping with sweat when she finished singing a song. Holding the microphone, she
then announced to the guests below the stage, “I’m very honored to be able to attend Mr. Michel’s
banquet as a guest performer. I’m so happy to see many friends that I haven’t seen for years today.”
Sophia’s heart shuddered at the sight of the scene. Having a bad feeling, she quickly grabbed her
husband sitting next to her, as though she was afraid that Michael would grow a pair of wings and fly
away.
As she had expected, Irene immediately began to direct the topic to Michael. “I wonder if everyone still
remembers that there’s a song titled ‘The Love of My Life’ in my first album. The song was written for me
ten years ago by a colleague in the song and dance troupe. Ten years had passed since then, and we
went our separate ways, but I’d always think about him whenever I sing this song…”
Who is ‘he’? Everyone was very curious.
Judging from Irene’s longing expression, her rtionship with the colleague must have been very
special; they mustn’t be ordinary colleagues.
Having joined the song and dance troupe since young, Irene seldom got herself involved in love rumors
over the nearly 20 years since her debut. Moreover, she never publicly acknowledged being in a
romantic rtionship with anyone.
Upon hearing her words, everyone turned to look at Taylor. Rumor had it that Taylor and Irene had been
engaged, but they called off their engagement for all kinds of reasons. Also, Taylor was rumored to have
enlisted in special forces and joined the song and dance troupe. Therefore, could he be the colleague
that Irene was referring to?
Sophia was so piqued that her eyes popped out. F*ck! So Michael could write songs and have written a
song for Irene? Why have I never heard him mention this before? Why didn’t he write a song for me?
The gloom within her grew due to jealousy.
Michael didn’t seem to have any response. Seeing that the crowd apuded and called upon Irene’s
colleague toe up on stage, he pped his hands and giggled with everyone else.
Having finished pping his hands, he put down his hands and immediately grabbed Sophia’s little hand.
However, the little hand seemed to be angry; it ran away nimbly, not allowing him to catch it.
Michael was bent on grabbing the little hand, though. He opened hisrge hand and held it out to catch a
thumb, but the little hand got angry and pped his hand.
p!
The p was loud and clear. Luckily, nobody noticed it since everyone was pping.
The little hand was totally furious, for the fine hair on its back seemed to stand on end. It kept running
away to prevent therge hand from getting close to it.
However, not only was therge hand determined to get close to it, it also wanted to embrace it and cling
to it. After a few struggles, the reddenedrge hand finally caught the reluctant and sulky little hand; it
sped the little hand with all its might to prevent it from running away.
Sophia finally quieted down as well. Refusing to let Michael go, she grabbed his hand as hard as he
could.
Irene was still looking everywhere, as if searching for the colleague in the song and dance troupe who
had written a song for her ten years ago. Everyone also frequently nced at Michael as they guessed
that he was likely the colleague Irene was referring to.
Regrettably, Michael didn’t move at all, and he even whispered in Sophia’s ear from time to time, as if
there were nobody around them.
Irene directed her gaze toward Michael from time to time as well, for she believed that he certainly
wouldn’t make her feel embarrassed when she was onstage alone.
This was Linus’ banquet, so how embarrassing would it be for her if he didn’te onstage at her
invitation? Linus would also be embarrassed, so there was no reason for Michael not toe onstage.
Irene ran her eyes back and forth over the audience. She nced at Michael every now and then, but
she didn’t see himing on stage for a long time.
The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward as the audience below the stage started to feel anxious.
Feeling a little worried, Irene nced at Michael once again, only to see that he was also looking at her.
As their eyes met, Irene saw a guilt-free expression on his face.
If Michael had averted her eyes, it would prove that he still had feelings for her. However, there was no
trace of guilt in his eyes; he looked open and poised with a clear conscience.
Irene smiled wryly, but she didn’t believe that she had no ce in Michael’s heart.
She had been his girlfriend for ten years after all!
