My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 259

After exchanging several glances with Xyla, he went up and greeted her passionately, “Welcome, welcome. What an honor this is to have the two of you here at our engagement dinner!”

Looking at Richard as he nodded and bowed, Stanley simply smiled without saying anything else. He then let the servers lead them into the engagement banquet.

Afraid that nobody knew about it, Richard purposely informed the media that the Young Master of the Fletcher Family and Young Lady of the Mitchell Family had come to his engagement dinner.

In an instant, all the guests got wind of this; seeing that family members of the Fletcher and Mitchell families were here, the Harpers were surely distinguished figures.

The Fletchers and Mitchells tended to keep a low profile, so nobody knew who those two people were. They went up to Richard in an attempt to ask him, but he dodged their questions as well.

All of a sudden, Richard saw a couple making their way over on the red carpet from afar. It was Sophia and ‘Tyler’.

Michael dressed in a plain suit, so there was nothing striking about his clothes. However, he had stumbled across two or three people who were wearing the same outfit as him.

Sophia was wearing a modest, medium-end dress. It was from a previous autumn collection, making it seem outdated. Although it looked pretty, it was considered old-fashioned in the eyes of fashionistas.

When the media saw Michael, they exchanged glances and were dumbfounded. Wasn’t this Taylor?

However, it seemed impossible. When the Harpers made the announcement, they did not mention that they had invited Taylor; he was an artist under Imperial Entertainment, which was Glory Entertainment’s rival. Why was he here at the Harpers’ engagement dinner?

Furthermore, Taylor was a person who kept a low profile, seldom appearing in public. Why would he show up here of all places?

Many people had never met Taylor in real life. Michael seemed so tender, and he was completely different from the perverted, girly and murderous roles that he played in films. They were surely not the same person.

Regardless of who he was, the media wanted to take photos of him before anything else.

Michael calmly stood on the red carpet for a few seconds as he waited for everyone to take photos of him.

As she smiled faintly, Sophia stood beside him and got their pictures taken together.

After their photos were taken, Michael and Sophia held hands as they made their way toward the signature wall to write down their names.

Sophia signed her own name while Michael signed the name which Richard had given to him.

Hence, there was another name on the signature wall—Tyler.

The media frantically took photos of that name.

He wasn’t actually Taylor, but Tyler? Was this Anna and Ana?

Was Glory preparing to debut a newbie who looked like Taylor?

Regardless, Tyler’s emergence had caused a huge commotion. The media were feeling uneasy as all of them wanted to know about Tyler’s background. The Harpers wanted this kind of reaction; the moment the right time came, they were going to promote Tyler to the fullest.

Then, Richard and Xyla walked up to greet them. As she held Sophia’s hands hospitably, Xyla said, “I’m so glad that you could make it to our engagement dinner, Sophia.”

She seemed so naïve and innocent when she was talking, yet she felt so pleased with herself on the inside. She knew that Sophia and Nicole would work hand-in-hand to create a blockbuster and ruin her engagement with Richard.

Nevertheless, she did not think that her engagement would be fazed by it. Instead, their relationship became even more stable.

Her relationship with Richard lasted for so long, while Sophia would forever only be a pest around Richard.

When Richard saw Sophia, a hint of evil flashed through his eyes; he was infuriated.

He had almost fallen into her trap.

She was no longer satisfied being his mistress; she had even wanted to collaborate with an outsider to ruin his engagement with Xyla.

A woman like her was really scary. She had resorted to all kinds of measures just to become the Young Madam of the Harper Family!

Did she seriously think that she could disturb his engagement with Xyla by collaborating with Nicole and causing a bit of trouble?

Dream on!

She was really a pathetic and naïve woman!

Nonetheless, she had managed to recommend a talent like Tyler to him. Hence, he decided to temporarily forgive her for the past incidents.

Michael and Richard then greeted each other in a friendly manner while Sophia kept quiet.

She knew that Richard and Xyla had always felt good about themselves. By simply telling them something, they would start to overthink things.

After briefly greeting each other, Sophia and Michael entered the engagement hall while holding hands.

The hall was already crowded; the venue had been separated into different areas according to the guests’ territory. Stanley and Sean sat with a group of noble women, and it was apparent that the Harpers had treated the both of them as their distinguished guests.

Stanley pretended to not know who Michael and Sophia were, but his eyes were always glancing in their direction.

There was going to be a good show today!

Stanley was getting excited.

Meanwhile, Michael and Sophia were sitting together with Glory’s artists.

Glory had nurtured many stars over the years. Although they were all idol-like artists, their fame did not last long. Nevertheless, they were a topic of discussion. They had a huge influence over the youths, but they were only famous in Cethos; nobody knew who they were outside of Cethos.

Glory’s next step was to cultivate international megastars like Taylor and Ethan.

Those who managed to get an invitation were Glory’s popular actors like Nicholas and Bethany.

Eight people were seated at the same table. Besides Michael and Sophia, the others were Glory’s artists. All of them chatted among themselves at that moment, completely ignoring Michael and Sophia.

Being sidelined, the two of them must’ve felt awkward. However, Sophia didn’t think so. As long as her idol was with her, she felt like every day was her wedding day. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Michael’s appearance had posed a great threat to the artists.

All of them had become famous within the past two years. Apart from Bethany who had worked with Taylor a few years ago, the rest of them had never met him in real life before—even Bethany did not recognize him at that moment.

They had heard that Richard was getting ready to welcome two hardcore martial arts stars. One of them was a ‘Tyler’ who looked very similar to Taylor. Hence, they assumed the guy in front of them was ‘Tyler’.

Nobody expected the old man whom the media described as depressed to show up here in an arrogant manner while keeping his identity a mystery—no one even recognized him at all.

Even those who were curious did not dare to greet him; Tyler just seemed to be a different person than Taylor.

However, they were certain that Tyler was going to be their biggest rival. He was also Richard’s favorite, and there were only so many resources in which Glory could acquire. If another person came to compete for it, the resources each celebrity would get would certainly lessen.

They were celebrities; even though they were envious of him, they would not show it in their expressions. They continued chatting joyfully, ignoring the two of them. They formed their own circle, showing the newbie some dominance.

Sophia was bored, so she rested her chin on her hands and started imagining things.

If only the stars at this table knew that Taylor was sitting in front of them…
