Chapter 53

The past year had seen Taylor Entertainment become a more well-known entertainment company.

Two of the four actresses with experience in the entertainment industry and two up-and-coming actors were from Taylor Entertainment.

Not to mention that the best actor of the year, Jonas Crawford, who had terminated his contract with his previous company, would attend the ceremony to formally sign with Taylor Entertainment…

The ceremony site had been swarmed with people since early in the morning, including fans and journalists from all over the world and various distinguished guests from upper-class society.

Anthony’s car pulled up slowly and came to a halt at the venue’s entrance.

Only then did Lilly realize there was a serious problem!

Her hair wasn’t combed today, and it wasn’t beautifully braided either!

Lilly rubbed her head and seized the car door as she uttered, “Uncle Anthony, I’m unable to step out of the car. My hair is a complete mess! Boohoohoo!”

Anthony was at a loss for words.

Her hair is a complete mess?

Only after a closer look did he notice that Lilly’s head was uncombed like a bird’s nest.

“Um, it’s okay.” Anthony stroked her hair, attempting to smooth out the unruly hair on top of her head.

It’s a pity the hair couldn’t be flattened at all.

He had actually made her hair messier by stroking it.

“Is it really all right?” Lilly asked, catching up with Anthony’s silence.

She had seen many fairies, and they had lovely hair that even had butterflies in it.

Her hair, on the other hand, was like a bird’s nest. Boohoohoo! She didn’t want to be like this any longer.

Lilly’s tiny face was scrunched up.

Regardless of their age, all girls wanted to look beautiful.

Anthony couldn’t help but laugh. “Then I’ll tie your hair for you.”

Lilly kept nodding as she looked through her small satchel until she found two small rubber bands.

“Uncle Anthony, you need to tie two braids!”

Anthony nodded.

It’s just two braids.

What about it is so difficult?

Anthony removed his suit jacket five minutes later. His shirt had been unbuttoned, and his sleeves had been rolled up as well.

He was perspiring profusely as he struggled to tie Lilly’s hair…

“Uncle Anthony, are you done yet?” Lilly urged her uncle.

“Get ready,” Anthony said as a bead of sweat ran down his brow.

Lilly stated, “Yeah! Uncle Anthony, you’ve been tying my hair for a long time. It must be very lovely.”

“Uhuh,” Anthony uttered hesitantly.

He gave up his struggle and looked silently at Lilly’s two braids.

Well, it’s pretty good.

“Is it finished?” Lilly reached out a hand to touch her braids.

Quickly grabbing her hand, Anthony said, “It’s done. If you touch it, it will become a mess again.”

“It’s pretty nice,” he added after a brief pause.

The driver at the front couldn’t bring himself to look at him directly.

Anthony coughed softly before putting on his suit jacket and buttoning his shirt.

“Let’s go!”

Lilly was very obedient and happily nodded.

She was completely unaware that her uncle had tricked her…

Everyone outside the car door watched the black Maybach at the entrance with bated breath.

The organizer immediately recognized Anthony’s car, but why did it stop at the entrance for five minutes with no signs of movement?

Every reporter tried to sneak a peek.

Anthony did not get out of the car, and the car did not drive away, so the cars that arrived after him were forced to wait in line behind him. It so happened that the Miller family’s car was stopped behind him.

Tina stated frantically, “What ought we to do? We just ended up running into Mr. Anthony…”

Thomas stated, “Don’t be scared. We have an invitation letter!”

In any case, they had already arrived. Besides, there were a lot of important people here today. That was an excellent opportunity for the Millers. No matter what, he wouldn’t let such a good opportunity pass him.

Thomas said, “Let’s go. Let’s get out of the car and see Mr. Anthony. Anyone who is a human being would undoubtedly appreciate being flattered by others!”

He refused to believe he couldn’t!

As such, Cheryl and her family got out of the car first.

Cheryl was dressed in a long white tulle fishtail gown. She looked elegant, like a princess, with her long fishtail dragging on the ground and her hair neatly coiled up.

The reporters on the scene couldn’t help but have their eyes lit up at the sight of such a beautiful woman getting out of the car. Their cameras went off like fireworks as they frantically snapped pictures of her.

Cheryl immediately gave a small smile while holding her hands crossed in front of her stomach. Her heart was overjoyed!

She appeared to have chosen a charming dress for today!

She must be the most beautiful girl around!

The door to the car in front of theirs opened just as she was thinking.

Anthony stepped out of the car, and all the cameras focused on him instantly!

“Hello, Uncle Anthony!” Cheryl said courteously.

Anthony paused and furrowed his brows as he directed his gaze at Cheryl. He bent down and reached into the car without even bothering to respond to her.

Cheryl’s face immediately became burning hot. As her self-esteem was triggered, she felt embarrassed.

Tina comforted in hushed tones, “It’s okay. Mr. Anthony most likely did not hear what you were saying.”

No one was paying attention to Cheryl at the time.

When the reporters saw Anthony’s actions, they nervously held up their cameras.

Anthony was the CEO of Crawford Holdings and arguably the wealthiest person in the country.

He eventually had two sons, but no one had ever seen his wife.

It was even rumored that he didn’t have a wife and that his two children were created in test tubes. The two children were made to stand in for Jean, the Crawford family’s precious daughter…

Everyone became very excited when they saw Anthony reaching into the car as if he was about to help someone out, thinking they would finally meet his elusive wife.

All they saw was a little girl in a pink dress hopping out of the car.

Anthony steadily caught her. He walked toward the venue in long strides, holding the little girl in one arm and straightening his tie with the other hand.

Everyone was in a state of shock.

The little girl in Anthony’s arms wore her hair in two messy braids. She was dressed casually and carried a small fabric satchel…

That… That was like a square peg in a round hole!

Nonetheless, it was undeniably adorable!

The stern CEO, who was thought to have skinned all the senior executives alive during meetings, was now coddling and cuddling a cute little fluffball!

All of the reporters’ cameras were trained on Anthony and Lilly.

“Look here, little cutie!”

“Wow! The little princess is absolutely stunning!”

Lilly glanced over and made a peace sign for the camera.

Her brows curved as she grinned. She was so adorable that the reporters couldn’t help but be blown away!

Anthony hesitated for a moment before stopping in his tracks.

A bigshot CEO with a killer reputation was carrying a cute little girl and standing on the red carpet to let others photograph them.

Anthony was fearless in all situations. Jean had previously been kept hidden by the Crawford family, and she had never experienced the thriving world, even when she died. Even the world didn’t know she…

Lilly now deserved to be known to the entire world because she was the Crawford family’s favorite little princess!

Cheryl and her family, who had been left in the cold, felt awkward.

Cheryl was overjoyed at first, but her joy quickly faded when she noticed Anthony hugging Lilly and that everyone’s attention was focused on her.

Initially, everyone was taking pictures of her!

However, as soon as Lilly entered the picture, she took over all the spotlights.

Cheryl looked at Lilly’s messy hair and unremarkable outfit, which were incomparable to her. Why did everyone still think she was adorable? Was it simply because she had a powerful uncle?

Cheryl bit her lower lip and gave them a surprised look as she approached.

She wore a smile all over her face and remarked, “Ah, Lilly! Why does your hair look so bad? Did you tie it yourself? Why don’t I tie it for you?”

“At the age of three, I could tie my own hair! Take a look at my hair today! Isn’t it stunning? I did it all by myself!”

Everyone couldn’t help looking at Cheryl’s hair…

She wore her hair in a bun and adorned it with a slew of shiny crystal butterfly hair clips.

She was just a kid; even adults couldn’t do this hairstyle on their own. She couldn’t have done her hair all by herself, could she?

Cheryl was overjoyed when she noticed that everyone’s attention was once again focused on her.
