Initially, I thought of spilling the beans, but now that I recalled the text he sent me, Iâd rather forget about it. Itâs not that simple to cause trouble because Michael might find out if Iâm not too careful.
In the past, no matter how horrible I was, Michael would never threaten to ban my account.
However, now that he is threatening to ban my account, Iâm sure that he will do it.
Richard put down his binoculars after he saw Stanley leaving.
He stared at the mysterious community of The Imperial, and he fell deep into his thoughts.
It seems like I was wrong before. Sophia is very close with Stanley, and that is due to his relationship with Sophiaâs husband. She must have another man on the side, and that man is not Stanley, as we guessed, nor is it Joel. It must beâTyler Murray!
I have almost forgotten about this personâs name, but I still remember the stage name I got him. No wonder I havenât been able to contact Tyler. It turns out he is just a boy toy Sophia has on the side. Since he is her boy toy, Iâm sure she doesnât want him to become popular. If he were to end up famous, people might expose him for being her kept man.
Joe will never give up. When faced with such riches and wealth, he is willing to abandon his dignity to get what he wants. Putting everything aside, a property at The Imperial is enough for Joe to abandon his rationality to try and seize the real estate for himself.
However, itâs difficult for Joe to get his hands on the inheritance. Although he is Sophiaâs father, her household registry has never appeared in the Edwards Family. Therefore, the only way to prove their relationship as father and daughter is via paternity testing, but that would require consent from both parties.
Compared to Joe, I believe I have a higher chance of winning. I am Sophiaâs first love and boyfriend after all. I think I am entitled to the asset!
I am willing to share half of the huge sum of inheritance with Sophia. What I want most is the property in The Imperial!
However, I need to plan meticulously how to procure the asset. It will never work by blocking their entrance, just like Joe. He has forgotten that Sophia is the key here!
The next day after Michaelâs banquet, he returned to his film set, whereas Sophia started working on the questions Quinton sent in yesterday.
It was her entertainment break after completing the questions, and so she turned on her laptop immediately to check out the entertainment news.
Recently, Glory Entertainment started placing Taylor in a bad light. After they were ruthlessly humiliated the last time for exposing the scandal revolving Taylor, they were once again creating ghost accounts to boycott him.
It was mainly due to the documentary film. Being able to star in a documentary film was a symbol of a heavy hitter. The pay wasnât anything to shout about, but it was something outstanding to show for on an actorâs resume. Every big shot within the industry dreamed about getting into the crew, even if it were a walk-on part that lasted for a few seconds.
There were rumors on the internet claiming that Taylor took on an important role as the character, Mark Fletcher. Therefore, a lot of companies had their eyes on him; they wanted nothing more for him to drop dead just so that their own celebrity could take the role.
Glory Entertainment was doing the worst damage.
Previously, they were against Taylor playing Mark Fletcher. The reason they resisted him for the role was because he had once played roles as a traitor and a psychopath. Therefore, they claimed that allowing him to act as a revolutionary martyr was a humiliation toward revolutionary martyrs as a whole.
Todayâs news caused an uproarââTaylor Murray is married to a woman!â
The ghost account exposed that Taylor was a homosexual, but he had been married to a woman for years. He was a horrible scumbag that would have a fake marriage to have children!
Upon reading that scandal, Sophia knew that Richard must have exposed this scandal. During her military training, Richard and Xyla barged into the hotel room to get Michaelâs signature. At that time, he admitted that he was married.
Once the news of Taylor being married surfaced, a large group of fans went against him. Besides, due to the influence of homosexual fanfiction and the recent homosexual culture, everyone assumed straight away that Michael was gay. In fact, they assumed that he was a gay man who got married with a woman because he wanted to trick her into having a child with him to continue his bloodline. Therefore, he was described as a scumbag who fooled a woman into marriage just for an heir!
This was the true scandal that caused an uproar. Once that spread like wildfire on the internet, many feminist activists, who were active on the internet, started reprimanding Michael for his actions.
Gays cheating their ways into marriage was a very sensitive topic. Now that Michael was entangled in such a scandal, it would be almost impossible to salvage his reputation unless he tried clarifying his stance.
True enough, Michael remained silent, and his management company played dead again.
The news of Taylor having a fake marriage resulted in a mass boycott. It made headlines for a long time.
Feminist activists werenât the only ones to call him out for his actions; countless celebrities came forward to reprimand him as well.
Even Harry, who was suspected to be a gay friend of Michaelâs, was dragged into the criticism.
Sophia followed the news closely. After reading the news, she asked herself worriedly, Have I been fooled into a marriage?
No, I have never felt as if Iâve been fooled into a marriage. Although itâs impossible to conclude Michaelâs sexual orientation with a single word, I will never let my idol be defamed because that is where I, his No.
1 fan, draw the line!
Iâd like to see who are the ones rubbing salt into the wound. She started making notes in her mental notebook to take revenge in the future.
Many fans quit the fan group Sophia joined previously.
Once a male celebrity had been exposed to be married, they would usually suffer a drastic drop in female fans numbers. In fact, some female fans might not be able to accept the fact that their idol was married, and they might even take the extreme measure of committing suicide. Therefore, most male celebrities chose to keep their marriage a secret. Sophia was quite worried that some foolish fans might commit suicide over the news. True enough, within two days of the news stating Taylor was married, there was an online rumor claiming that a fan of Taylorâs couldnât accept that her idol was married, and so she would live-broadcasted her suicide attempt.
The fan even said that if Taylor didnât show up to explain himself to his fans, she would commit suicide by burning charcoal while live-broadcasting it.
Sophia saw his fan broadcasting their suicide live the moment she went online. She was so scared that she dashed into Michaelâs study with her phone in hand. âDear, look! A fan of yours is broadcasting her suicide live!â
The female fan had started sealing her windows. If the doors and windows were sealed shut, she would die of carbon monoxide poisoning if she started burning charcoal in her room. She claimed that she wanted to wait for Taylorâs appearance. She even phoned Taylorâs management studio. She claimed that she was waiting for her idolâs reply because she wanted an explanation.
If she couldnât get an answer, she would die in front of everyone.
When Michael had Sophiaâs phone in front of him, the live broadcast was showing the girl phoning his management studio. The phone kept ringing, but no one was answering. The fan was crying her eyes out, and there was a constant stream of live comments coming in.
âPoor girl. Youâve fallen for a scumbag for over ten years!â
âTaylor Murray, you are a scumbag! Are you worthy of your fans? We love you so much! What gives you the right to get married?!â
âYoung woman, you shouldnât do anything stupid! Taylor must be aware of such a huge thing. They are ignoring you on purpose. No one would bat an eyelash even if you end up dead!â
âItâs not worth it to throw your life away for someone like that!â
Michael glanced at the screen lazily while responding, âOh.â
Sophia stared at him in disbelief. âOh? What does âohâ mean? Thereâs a fan committing suicide over you.
Shouldnât you show up to reassure her? Itâs a human life after all!â
