After commenting on how Michael had bought himself a wife with 80,000, their attention finally turned toward Sophia. Shockingly, ‘Eddie Fletcher’ turned out to be Sophia Edwards, the campus belle of Bayside University famous for joining esports tournaments!
“When the two of them participated in the Esports World Championship together, I knew there was something up between them! Turns out my intuition was right! Have a happy marriage! Sophia is a strong and kind girl! I feel reassured about leaving our idol in her hands!”
“The daughter of the Edwards Family, the smart and beautiful campus belle of Bayside University, and a well-known esports player… I have to admit; she matches up to my idol.”
“So far, nobody has successfully recreated the song ‘π’ that Sophia and our idol collaborated on together! That’s a top student at Bayside University for you! I heard that she holds so many certificates that they are weighed by the pounds!”
On the other side, Joe held a press conference to openly recognize Sophia as part of his family. Furthermore, he criticized the unscrupulous media and clarified that it wasn’t a marriage of convenience but a marriage of love. He mentioned that Sophia was 18 when they registered their marriage, so the rumors about the human trafficking of minors were nonsense. Sophia was his long-lost biological daughter and the precious second daughter of the Edwards Family, so the 80,000 was just a symbolic dowry from Taylor during their marriage.
Meanwhile, Michael kept quiet throughout all this. He said nothing, held no press conferences, made no clarifications, and couldn’t even be bothered to post anything on Twitter. In contrast, Sophia posted on Twitter every day through ‘Eddie Fletcher’, describing the lovey-dovey married life of a young fangirl and a handsome man who was past his prime.
As for Harry, he made no response either. Besides, his fans were aware of the truth—Little Kitten was his girlfriend. However, she was a big-time figure and the longest-standing fan among his fan groups. Hence, his fans didn’t see anything wrong with the two of them being together.
All in all, Richard spent a large sum of money to boost the popularity of ‘Doctor Invincible’ that had been slowly declining in ticket sales after its initial release more than half a month ago. However, his efforts did nothing for ‘Legend of Fan Lihua’. Not only was ‘Legend of Fan Lihua’ unable to surpass ‘Doctor Invincible’, but it also failed to win against domestic cartoons that were released later. Although the movie was supported by two popular A-listed celebrities, online celebrities will always be online celebrities. They had millions of followers on Twitter, and their posts were retweeted thousands of times. However, their true selves were revealed once they appeared on the big screen—their acting skills and charisma were not up to par. Thus, the box office earnings kept going down. 10 days after its release, the ticket sales had dropped to 10 million. No matter how popular an intellectual property film like ‘Legend of Fan Lihua’ might be, it was doomed to fail!
Richard stared at the box office ratings as well as ‘Legend of Fan Lihua’ that couldn’t increase in ranking no matter what he did. Without warning, he suddenly swept everything on his office desk to the ground. As a result, the glass cups and documents scattered across the floor. His phone was about to explode from all the calls it was receiving. The calls were from various business partners. However, he didn’t want to nor dared to answer those calls, knowing that none of them were calling with good intentions. After messing up so many things, the Harper Family was extremely disappointed in him. If I weren’t the only son, I would have lost my position a long time ago. No! There must be a way to salvage this!
Hugging his head in his hands as he leaned against the chair, his brain kept running into a brick wall. Then, a lightbulb went off in his head as he thought of a bold and extreme method, and his blood-shot eyes shone with determination…
Meanwhile, Xyla couldn’t believe that Joe could make peace with Taylor and Sophia so easily. After all, he used to say that he wanted to rip them apart all the time. Besides, the relationship between Sophia and Joe had already reached the point where it was unsalvageable. How could Sophia accept Joe so quickly? She must have another motive for doing so!
Upon hearing those words, Xyla cursed at him in her heart, When the Edwards Family was in trouble, the Huff Family contributed a lot of money to help them out of their rut. But, now that the Huffs were in trouble, the Edwards are feigning ignorance instead! These ungrateful ingrates! You want to go and meet with Sophia, don’t you? You want to acknowledge your relationship with Taylor, don’t you? In your dreams! This damn fatty had harmed Sophia on so many occasions! Does he have selective memory loss?! I need to pit them against each other. The more they tear each other apart, the better! Besides, the Edwards are scoundrels. They won’t be able to let things end just like that! Therefore, she hurriedly said in a hopeful manner, “Are you going to meet up with Mr. Murray? Can I tag along too? I really want to meet him too!”
