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.
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 It was from a previous autumn collection, making it seem outdated.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.
