Amidst the hushed discussion in the crowd, the most revered number 3 elevator in the middle finally opened its doors. Mr. Harper was standing in the elevator respectfully with a slight bow while two men in suits and leather shoes stood beside him. Both men wore identical black suits, but they were radiating completely different vibes.
One of them stood valiant while looking very handsome. A pair of gold-wire rimmed glasses settled on his straight nose, making him look especially gentle with the faint smile playing across his lips. In fact, he was emanating a type of exceptional charm. On the other side, the other man looked arrogant with his eye-catching blonde hair. His large eyes and bushy eyebrows made him look aggressive.
As soon as they showed up, the entire banquet hall seemed to sparkle brilliantly with the fame of the celebrities silencing the room for several minutes. After moments of dead silence, someone screamed at the top of their lungs, “That’s… Taylor Murray!!”
“Ethan Winston is here too!”
Michael and Harry walked side-by-side. They wore the same clothes, but with completely different styles and charms. A smile or a twinkle in their eyes were enough to send the women present into a frenzy.
Mr. Harper felt himself glowing with pride while basking in the fame and brilliance of the two extremely famous celebrities. These two aren’t merely any actors—they are Academy Award winners for Best Actor. They have been in the film industry for over a decade now and everyone all around Cethos are aware of who they are. Furthermore, they are good with finance. I heard that one of them owns a large share of Asco International and is therefore well known in the financial world! Our ancestors are definitely kind to the Harpers today. Apart from Joel, they even sent over two Academy Award-winning Best Actors!
Kayla was delighted as well. Due to her broken leg, she was unable to attend the meet and greet session for ‘Doctor Invincible’. As a result, she was extremely jealous and full of hate when she saw Xyla boasting about the photographs she took during the event. Yet, she never expected that the two Best Actors would attend her birthday party. Oh, my God! I feel like I might faint from the exhilaration!
She subconsciously glanced at her usual close friends and noticed that they were also fascinated by Ethan and Taylor, as if bewitched. It was especially true for Xyla, who looked as if she was about to drool from the corner of her mouth. Kayla couldn’t help but feel proud and pleased with herself since their appearance had obviously reflected well on her.
Xyla was extremely irritated when she saw how pleased Kayla was, so she thought to herself, When Richard shows the Eternal Love off, you’ll definitely be green with envy.
The Harper siblings and Xyla welcomed the Best Actors in a friendly manner while enthusiastically greeting them. Both Best Actors wore black suits, which automatically made them look cold and arrogant. Hence, the Harpers could already feel their unmistakable presence from a distance and felt goosebumps all over their body reflexively.
Joel merely smirked when he saw Michael and Harry turning up all of a sudden. On the other hand, Sophia was scared witless, so the first thing she thought of was, I need to run for my life! I’ll end up dead if I don’t escape now!
She turned to run away, but Stanley, who was oblivious to the circumstances, grabbed onto her dress. “Sophie, why are you running away? Look, my uncle is here. I’m sure he is here to support you! Ah, how could such a gentle and kind person exist in this world? He wouldn’t even allow others to bully his subordinate—the nanny!”
She felt anxious and started to panic when she saw how intoxicated he was. Nevertheless, she was helpless, considering that she couldn’t move as Stanley clung onto her dress. His actions were as bad as the reporter earlier.
The Harpers eagerly invited Michael and Harry into the banquet hall. Michael suddenly looked as if he noticed something because he was striding toward a corner. Joel was standing in that corner. Michael then greeted him with a friendly and warm smile—his appearance screamed ‘polished scoundrel’. “Joel, it’s been such a long time.”
Joel nodded indifferently.
