My Dreamy Old Husband

Chapter 264

The ten minutes while the short film was being played was the right time for the host families to regain their reputation. The hotel cleaners also had more time to clean up the mess.

In the hotel room, Richard could still smell his entire body stinking although he had changed. In front of the Harpers and the Huffs, he knelt down to Xyla. “My dear, you must believe me; I really have nothing to do with that woman named Ella.”

Xyla was weeping in tears and did not believe him. The faces of the Huffs seemed sullen as well. Xyla’s uncle, Joe, stepped up to resolve the matter. “You say you have nothing to do with that girl named Ella, but what about the child?” Joe looked incredibly stern.

Richard was terrified of Joe as he said, “I’ve been to the Paradise Club, but it was only for business purposes. I promise that I’d never do anything to hurt Xyla; if you don’t believe me, I can swear to God. If I’ve ever touched any other women, I will be struck by lightning!”

“Xyla, just believe me once, alright? Can’t you see? All of these had been planned, and their purpose is to undermine the relationship between us! Their intention is to mess up our engagement ceremony!”

Xyla was shedding tears of sadness, but her mind was immediately filled with hatred.

Good job, Sophia. I did not expect you to pull off such a jerk-move!

Do you want to spoil this engagement ceremony?

Don’t even think about it!

Xyla choked twice before she helped Richard onto his feet and said, “I believe you, Richard. There are people who don’t want us to be together, and we must not let their plan prevail!”

Richard was so moved that he hugged Xyla tightly. He knew that Xyla would always stay so kind!

Damn you, Ella. Who the hell let her in here?!

It must’ve been Sophia!

That wh*re really wanted to get rid of him after not being able to with him!

The two of them had compromised with each other. As for the two families, they were too embarrassed to turn their faces against one another as well. Joe had come out to redress the situation as well. “It’s alright, it’s all over now. Don’t ruin today’s mood just because of this. Today is your big day!”

Who knew that right after those words had come from Joe, there was another uproar at the engagement banquet? A mixture of indescribable moaning sounds could be heard.

The sound seemed to be coming from the stereo!

Didn’t they just play the short movie moments ago?

The two families immediately dashed out to the scene and they were once again dumbfounded.

On the stage of the engagement banquet, the high-definition big screen that was used to play the short film just now was currently playing a series of age restricted videos which were indescribable. It seemed just like pornography shots in a hotel room, and the clips were constantly switching; it had gotten more exciting from frame to frame. There were popular celebrities in the film and also the top streetwalkers from clubs included in the short clips—even Ella from just now had shown up. The man in the video clips was none other than Richard.

The audio was tremendously loud, filling the entire engagement banquet with their moaning sounds.

Richard stood still right at the spot; it was as if he had really been struck by lightning when he saw the indescribable scene being played on the screen. He seemed like he had been electrocuted as he

momentarily lost contact with his brains. All he heard in his ears were buzzing sounds.

What was that?

When did they secretly film this?!

How could it be?!

He had obviously done a perfect job without leaving any videos as evidence. How did the videos show up here?

Who was the one secretly filming them? Who was the one who had played it on the screen?

There was an uproar among the guests as they remained stunned once again.

What was all these…

Who had the Harpers offended?

This was such a ruthless way of dealing with it!

Playing these sort of videos on someone else’s engagement ceremony, if it was not video clips of fornicating other’s wives or daughters, it would be clips of killing an entire family!

When Xyla saw the face of the man in the tapes, her whole world had collapsed before her—she had even narrowly passed out. Fortunately, Xyla’s mother was there to help her up.

“Shut it off, security!” Richard’s father roared as the veins on his old face started to fill with blood.

They had purposely chosen this hotel because they had high requirements for the hotel’s facilities when it came to playing the short film. The facilities of the hotel were absolutely professional, and they even

had a special control room. When the security guards rushed to the control room, they realized that the control room had been locked from the inside. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

There were no windows in the control room. Even if one wanted to barge in through the main entrance, it would take half a day.

“Cut the power source! Cut the power source!” Richard’s father yelled.

Richard himself was completely dumbfounded. His father’s roar, Xyla’s crying and the guests’ exclamations had filled his ears. His mind blanked out, making him lose the ability to think.

The security dashed to the circuit control room, cutting off the electricity supply for the entire hotel. Much to their horror, the control room was powered independently and the inappropriate video continued to play on.

They could only carry on banging onto the door. When the door was finally opened and the video finally ended, all the good stuff of the short movie had been played. The person in charge of playing the film had been knocked out.

Soon after, the power supply in the grand hall was restored. The grand hall had turned bright again. The host of the event then bit the bullet as he showed up. “There was a problem with the equipment just now. Everyone, please remain calm. Our newly-wedded couples will soon come out to propose a toast to everyone.”

That was the end of the farce. The hall was currently filled with whispers. Although everyone had evaded the host initially, they had added him into their discussions after seeing the others discussing them.

Looking at the host families who were walking in and out as they hustled, everyone’s gaze inevitably carried a subtle touch.

Stanley and Sean who were in the crowd, were dumbfounded. It was their first time experiencing such a sinister scenario.

“Oh God, how ruthless!”

Stanley murmured in a low voice. It was the first time he had seen something so exciting; he had nearly lost it.

He knew that there would be a good show when he was with his uncle. Nonetheless, he did not expect it to be this exciting!

They should have considered that there might be children watching!

At this moment, Sophia and Michael were sitting on a sofa in the corner. They had witnessed the whole process and had snuggled up to watch pornography that lasted for a few minutes.

Sophi admitted that the first part of the show had been directed by her.

She had sent someone to follow Richard and got to know the existence of Ella. Ella was only 19 years old this year, but she had been doing sex trades ever since she was 14 years old. She was a really experienced prostitute.

Richard had run into such an experienced prostitute the first time he had entered the nightclub; he had gone all in for his first time doing a sex trade. Ella was aware of his background and had deliberately become pregnant with his child.

She did not even dare to think about marrying the Harpers. She knew that the Harpers were a wealthy family and wanted to blackmail them so that she could become Richard’s long-term mistress, never having to worry about her own life if she was able to give birth to his son.

Nonetheless, someone had paid her to cause trouble today.

Someone had purposely notified Ella’s family as well. A “kindhearted” person had told them that Ella had gotten pregnant with a tycoon’s child, but the tycoon did not want to be responsible for it. The person had even told Ella’s family that the tycoon was about to marry somebody else.

The entire Spencer Family was originally full of a bunch of scoundrels; their daughter had been sent to a nightclub to do sex trades when she was only 14. They were all shameless people; once they knew there was a chance for them to blackmail for money, they were already on it.

That was how the first part of the show had played out.

Nonetheless, she was not the person behind the second part of the show.

The second part of the show was obviously more laborious. It was not easy to get those video materials!

Michael hugged his slender wife in his arms and felt that his wife was interesting the more he looked at her.

She looked lovely but was callous and cruel; she was a person full of tricks. Moreover, she had an extraordinarily profound insight compared to other women.

She clearly understood that the person who had caused her tragic past was neither Kayla nor Xyla—it was actually Richard!

If he had been slightly tougher, would Kayla have bullied her?

If his mind had been more firmer, would he have even let Xyla take the opportunity?

Sophia admired Michael as well. She was still worried that what she had done was overly reckless and would affect her position in his heart; little did she expect him to be more ruthless than she was.

He was a complete psychopath!
