Chapter 676
Naturally, not all members of the Edwards Family had the qualifications to attend the annual meeting—
only those that were respected were invited. For that reason, Joe had cracked his head to obtain an
opportunity to attend the annual meeting. This time, he eagerly brought Faye and his wife with him to
attend the annual meeting.
When Joe’s second-hand yacht docked at the pier, the three of them stepped onto the red carpet
energetically. As the annual meeting would be held for three days, they brought along their luggage in
preparation for a three-day stay on the ind.
Upon getting off the yacht, a service staff hurriedly came forward to take their luggage from them and
diligently helped them with the check-in procedures. There were exclusive holiday vis and hotels on
the ind to host the people participating in the annual meeting. Therefore, more than enough
amodation and facilities were avable for the guests’ use.
The moment Joe and his family arrived, they saw that Judy and her family had already arrived. As soon
as the two groups met, they beganshing out at each other with stinging words and mockery.
Faye deliberately made a show of looking around several times. However, she could only see Judy and
her husband, Peter. There was no sight of Sarah and Harry anywhere. Thus, she intentionally said,
“Oh, it looks like Ethan didn’te!” I knew they wouldn’t be able to invite Ethan!
Judy red back angrily. She had been overtly hinting at Ethan recently, asking whether he was
attending the Edwards Family annual meeting. However, he had always given a vague response and
seemed unwilling to attend. Besides, she had caused trouble and stole a cat not too long ago. At the
time, he had given her an out. For that reason, Peter was too embarrassed to force Ethan to attend.
Thus, he had noeback to Faye either.
All of a sudden, Victoria quietly mentioned, “Looks like Taylor didn’te either!”
Judy immediately jumped on the bandwagon, having found something to ridicule the other party with. “I
bet he is so fat that he doesn’t dare to show himself!”
Victoria smoothly replied to her sister, “What right does he have toe? That couple wasn’t even
invited! Besides, he is nothing but a washed-up actor. Who would invite him?!”
The two groups loathed each other, and they headed toward the resort at daggers drawn. Unexpectedly,
they had taken no more than several steps when they suddenly heard exmationsing from behind
them.
“Look! Look at that boat!”
“It’s a small, dmissioned naval ship from Russia!”
“Who is so rich that they can afford toe here on a naval ship?!”
A small naval ship rode the waves as it slowly entered the harbor. Luckily, it was a small ship. With the
cooperation of the staff at the pier, it smoothly entered and docked at the harbor. The Edwards Family
knew the value of this small naval ship. Even if it was small, it was still a naval ship. Who among the
Edwards Family would be so influential?
The host of today’s reception was Lucy. When she heard that somebody had arrived on a naval ship, she
immediately came to the dock to wee them herself. Once the small naval ship was securely docked
at the pier, a group of people slowly came out of it. First, a young girl in a white dress walked out, holding
hands with a man in a suit. As they leisurely approached, they were followed by several bodyguards
carrying their luggage. Although it was only a three-day stay, they must have brought along more than a
dozen suitcases.
Everybody’s attention was drawn to this well-matched couple. Peter, who was in the crowd, immediately
recognized the couple and happily called out, “Sarah, you’re here!”
The couple was Sarah West and Harry Winston. Just for today, Sarah had specially gotten herself styled
and dressed to the nines. Hence, she was extremely eye-catching. Combined with Harry, who was
dazzlingly handsome, the sight of the pair made Peter very happy—he felt extremely proud to be
associated with them. Even Judy felt honored too. Simrly, the Edwards Family looked at them in
admiration.

Harry and Sarah held hands as they walked along the red carpet. It was Sarah’s first time attending an
event of this scale. Thus, she felt extremely overwhelmed and clutched at his arm desperately.
After Harry and Sarah disembarked, they were followed by another group of peopleing out of the
naval ship. This subsequent group of people was also led by a man and a woman. The woman was
dressed in a haughty red dress that seemed to flutter in the warm seaside wind. Walking over in small
steps, she slowly took off her sunsses to reveal an unimaginably delicate face—she was bright-eyed
and had an imposing air. The man standing beside her was even more eye-catching. Dressed in a well-
cut ck suit fitted to a slender and athletic figure, the man’s curves were vaguely visible. He looked like
he was all legs from under his neck. His handsome face was angr and sharp—even the oversized
sunsses on his face could not hide the captivating aura around him.
When this group appeared, everybody couldn’t remain calm anymore.
“Isn’t that Taylor Murray?!”
“Didn’t he be fat?”
“No matter how you look at him, he doesn’t look fat at all!”
Michael looked extremely dashing and young today. More importantly, he wasn’t fat. Rather, his figure
was perfectly athletic—it was as if his body was built ording to the golden ratio. The difference
between his current appearance and the washed-up actor dancing in the online video was as stark as
day and night.
At that moment, all sorts of gossip began to spread. “When actors im they are fat; they are not fat,
okay? They intentionally put on weight for their acting roles. Besides, they quickly lose the excess weight
once the role is over.”
“Oh, my God! It’s the mythical balloon man! Actors are all weirdos!”
“He truly is my idol! He is so dedicated to his work!”
“I love you, Taylor!”
Sophia and Michael walked over, hand in hand. Behind them, Ivan held a Persian cat in his arms,
several bodyguards carried their luggage, and an energetic robot followed behind them. They looked
quite stylish as a group.
The service staff under the Edwards family came forward to take their luggage. Then, Sophia instructed
carefully, “My cat doesn’t like sunny rooms. Arrange a shady room for it and its assistant. On the other
hand, my makeup artist prefers sunny rooms. My robot is quite clingy; it doesn’t need a separate room.”
Listening to her instructions, everybody felt amazed. Sure enough; they were bigshots! Even the cat had
its own assistant. Moreover, the cat and its assistant required their own room. From the way she talked,
she would probably ask for a separate room for the robot too, if it wasn’t clingy!
After that, Michael and Harry met up again, and the two groups headed toward the entrance of the
Edwards Family Resort. They needed to sign in at the entrance.
This time around, Sophia had deliberately brought Ivan along. It was necessary to have a strong sense
of fashion when designing luxury goods. Therefore, it was imperative to identify fashion trends at any
time. As he had been depressed for a long time and stayed out of the fashion industry for far too long, he
had to learn how to move around and observe his surroundings. For that purpose, the Edwards Family
annual meeting was the perfect opportunity.
They were dazzling and their aura drew people’s attention. Thus, Joe triumphantly eximed, “That’s my
daughter and my son-inw! My son-inw is Taylor Murray!” He was ted. Not only is Taylor not fat,
but he also attended the Edwards Family annual meeting! Rumors can’t be trusted after all!
Happily following Michael, he endeavored to build a rtionship with him. At the same time, Peter and
his family were trying to butter up Harry. Hence, both groups couldn’t get along with each other.
On the other hand, Lucy hade out to greet them herself. When she saw that both Michael and Harry
were present, she quickly said, “Wee, wee! I’m so honored to have you both on my ind!
While speaking, she purposely nced at Michael… Sure enough; he isn’t fat.
In response, Michael and Harry gave a simple greeting to Lucy before heading toward the sign-in area
by the door.
At the sign-in area, the two sisters, Judy and Victoria, arrived with their father. Taking out their family
invitation, the names of their entire family were written on it. Families were generally invited to the annual
meeting as a unit—only on rare asions, would special and particrly outstanding individuals receive
a personal invitation to attend. Therefore, Judy’s invitation included the names of the two sisters, their
parents, their sons-inw, as well as Peter. In addition, the names of Sarah and Harry were specially
added at the back too. Once their identities were verified, the group was allowed to enter,
Finally, it was Joe’s turn. However, only the names of Joe’s family of three were written on the invitation
—Sophia and Michael’s names were not on it.
