Olivia belatedly realized that she might have committed a grave mistake. She had always thought that the old housewife under Taylor’s roof was not well-connected. If that wasn’t the case, she should have announced the information to the public. Now, it turned out that the woman was indeed from a powerful family!
No wonder Taylor was untempted by Natasha’s excellent family background! He’s already the son-in-law of another wealthy family! Mrs. Murray came from a much more outstanding background than Natasha!
Feeling extremely regretful, Olivia recalled that some time ago, she had patted her chest confidently, guaranteeing success in helping Natasha to pursue Taylor. Not only that, she had been secretly addressing Natasha as ‘sister-in-law’! Oh gosh, that was awkward…
It only took Sophia’s short speech to shift Olivia’s loyalty, keenly observed by Natasha. Ever since her failed confession at the dance performance, she had not been putting much hope on Olivia anyway.
Then, she turned around and left. Hurriedly nodding, Oliva ran after Natasha.
After Natasha and Olivia were far away, Sophia finally let out a sigh of relief and continued massaging Michael’s legs. Wow, this is my idol’s leg… I really want to rub my cheek against it…
Michael, who was pretending to be sleeping with a script over his face, suddenly trembled violently as he let out a suppressed laugh. He seemed to have envisioned his future from the way Sophia described him.
A kept man… It looks like she already planned to make me her kept man. Anyway, being her kept man would be a lovely experience, and he wouldn’t mind trying it out.
At night, Natasha invited the entire filming crew for a feast. They indeed preferred wealthy fans like Natasha because they could benefit from being close to Taylor and even received free meals on some days.
At the restaurant, Natasha was waiting eagerly for Michael’s arrival. At first, she had wanted to invite him out for a private dinner, but due to his principle of keeping a distance from her, he might not show up. Therefore, she decided to treat the entire crew because he’d definitely turn up. After all, no man could turn down Natasha.
Indeed, all the cast members and crew had arrived, and everyone surrounded her to shower her in compliments. Sadly, until the end of dinner, the two male leads didn’t show up for her.
Harry texted her, claiming, ‘Tired. Can’t move. Not attending.’
Michael replied to her, ‘Same here.’
On a day when Natasha was buying dinner, the filming crew could finally stop working overtime. It was rare for Michael to have the extra time to rest at the hotel, which was the reason he didn’t want to attend Natasha’s dinner.
At night, in ‘Swordsman Game’, Scary Phoenix, Beast, Sirius 233, Dragon Belle Warrior, Snow Fox, and Little Kitten all showed up online and teamed up to fight monsters enthusiastically.
The ‘Swordsman Game’ just updated a new map with awesome monsters. Even after a few days post-update, no one could emerge alive from battling the monsters. Tonight, Scary Phoenix finally went online, which was rare. So, everyone urged Scary Phoenix to lead the team against the monster zone. Unfortunately, Scary Phoenix seemed to be out of their zone, leading to the annihilation of the entire team in a winnable game.
After the characters’ death, they went back to the game city and waited for their hit points to be replenished while concluding the lessons learned from their failure. Finally, everyone decided that it was Michael’s distracted manner that led to their defeat. If it weren’t for him, they would have passed the new challenge.
‘Uncle Michael, what’s wrong? Is your knife dull after not playing the game for some time? We can’t have that happen. For next year’s Esports World Championship, I’m pinning my hopes on you to lead our team to a consecutive victory! You must recover!’
After some time, Michael replied in fractured sentences. ‘The position I’m.’
‘in now.’
‘is inconvenient.’
‘for gaming.’
Harry, Sean, and Sarah were speechless at his replies. Only Stanley, the fool, was out of the loop.
