My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 825

Scarlett Mitchell was the daughter of Cooper Mitchell. Faye had seen her before at King’s product launching ceremony, which Sandra had carefully planned but was ruined. Sandra had even spent a great deal of money to invite numerous celebrities to support the event, and Faye was one of the guests.

These days, not only was Faye an A-list celebrity who was in a few blockbuster film series and popular reality shows, but she was also a socialite in Bayside City given her identity as the young lady of the Edwards. Furthermore, she was close to Sandra, so she had delightfully attended the event when Sandra invited her.

However, she had left early on that day due to the chaotic scene, hence she did not get to meet Sophia.

Because of her identity as one of Sandra’s socialite intimate friends and the close relationship between the Edwards and the Mitchells, Faye had been paying close attention to the happenings of the Mitchells. In addition, she deemed herself as the future family head of the Edwards and had been seeking out potential candidates from the Mitchell Family for marriage. As such, she was aware of the internal situation of the Mitchells.

According to Sandra, Cooper and Scarlett were merely swindlers who came back to fleece them out of the inheritance and beguiled some of the witless members in the Mitchell Family. They were not even worth mentioning, and it would be a piece of cake for the Mitchells to destroy Cooper. However, they left him alone to lure him into exposing the location of Old Master Mitchell’s hidden inheritance.

Glancing at the child being carried by Scarlett, Faye smirked.

As far as she knew, only poor families would send their children into showbiz at such a young age, and the rich would never allow their toddlers to appear on the big screen.

“What a surprise! You already have a child!”

Sandra would be thrilled if she knew about this. Faye had heard through the grapevine that Scarlett was only twenty years old, yet this child seemed to be at least a couple years old. Cooper also didn’t seem to have a son-in-law, so it would be interesting to find out how Scarlett had this daughter.

Frowning, Sophia held Carmen in her arms and retorted impatiently, “This is my child, and it’s none of your business. I don’t even know you!”

Faye ran her fingers through her blonde, curly hair and remarked, “It’s normal that you don’t know me since you just returned to the country. You’ll know who I am after some time.”

She continued, “Your daughter has decent qualities, and she’s pretty smart. I intend to recruit her for my company and groom her into a child star. You’ve got a bargain!”

Faye spoke in an arrogant tone as if she was giving alms to them.

Of course, Sophia wasn’t going to agree to that. Carmen was just a child and she had allowed her to participate in this film merely for fun. It was a matter to be discussed in the future once Carmen was old enough, and that was if she still had the intention to be a celebrity. Besides, their family had sufficient money and resources to support Carmen and she did not have to go around begging people to make a debut. It was known that trainees of entertainment companies had a hard life and were ill-treated.

“No, thanks. My child came here just for fun, and we have no intention to make a debut.”

Holding Carmen in his hands, Cooper glared at Faye and decided to not give a damn about her.

She assumed herself as the conqueror of everything else upon accomplishing some achievements in her industry. How pathetic she was!

The Mitchells were determined to leave the place and even the director failed to persuade them to stay. Enraged at being ignored, Faye ordered her assistants to block Cooper and Sophia’s way.

“Hey, freak! Are you a mute?! Miss Faye was talking to you!”

“Your daughter is lucky to be to Miss Faye’s liking. Your kid will become popular instantly with Miss Faye’s help, and she’s going to make a fortune! Don’t you need the money?”

Carmen had left a favorable impression on Faye with her adorable and smart look. Faye was confident that the girl would instantly become famous with her debut, and she was determined to recruit her since she had met her today.

Pursing her cherry-red lips, Faye smiled and said, “It’s such a pity if your daughter doesn’t make a debut. What about this—name your price to sell your daughter. I’ll pay whatever price you demand.”

“After all, your daughter is only acting in this movie for the sake of money, isn’t it?”

She finally revealed her true colors.

Cooper had no desire to be bothered with this ridiculous woman.

Sophia, too, thought that it was a waste of time to engage in a conversation with her, and she quickly caught up to Cooper as they left.

The last scene had been tailored for Carmen, and the original plan was to look for any actress to take Carmen around the museum.

However, it turned out that the actress was Faye Edwards.

Director Wall became even more embarrassed as he mumbled, “Uhmm… As you know, you’ve retired from the screen for three years, and I’m worried about the box office performance even with your comeback. I thought it would be desirable to have the cameo appearance of a few popular celebrities in this film.”

“Miss Edwards is your relative, and she offered to take the cameo role for free. All she wants is to meet you.”

Given Faye’s identity as Michael’s sister-in-law in addition to her physical resemblance to Michael’s wife, Director Wall thought he might as well matchmake them knowing that Faye was interested in Michael.

Meanwhile, swaying her body, Faye walked charmingly toward Michael. Even though she was excited, she contained herself as she knew that they were not in the same league anymore, and he should be the one riding on her coattails.

“Taylor…”

Gazing at him seductively, Faye accosted Michael in a delicate voice, her body almost leaning against Michael’s. She sized up Michael from head to toe as if what was standing in front of her was a delicious meal.

Avoiding Faye’s feverish glare, Michael frowned and turned to Director Wall. “Don’t worry about the box office performance. Also, we don’t need the cameo appearance of A-list celebrities in our film. Let’s call it a day for now. We shall schedule another time for today’s shooting.”

After he said that, he left in a hurry and didn’t even talk to Faye.

Sophia was waiting for him at the entrance, and they quickly left the scene.

Once he was gone, the atmosphere became increasingly awkward. Director Wall did not even dare to glance at Faye, who was now flaring up in contrast to her gentle demeanor just now.

Who do you think you are, Taylor Murray? You’re just an obsolete actor! How dare you be this arrogant?
