Sophia was at the side, taking videos of the father-daughter duo using her phone.
Occasionally, a model would excitedly come and ask Michael for a photo.
Harry secretly took a front shot of Michael, added mosaics over Carmen, and was about to make a surprise promotion on Twitter when suddenly, Sarah came barging in angrily to the backstage from the front. As soon as she stepped foot inside, she started swearing up a storm. “Those little shi*s! A female celebrity is shooting a shower gel commercial naked in the hotel next door. All of the reporters have headed over there.”
Sophia glanced at the surveillance footage in front of her. Sure enough, many reporters had gone next door. The media area was quickly becoming empty, and even some of their customers were attracted there as well.
It seemed that the celebrity must be someone famous, else the reporters wouldn’t have rushed off so quickly.
Very soon, Stanley learned what was going on. When he came back, he was filled with indignation. “I have found out what the situation is about—it is Faye Edwards and Irene Weber!”
In the past, Stanley would respectfully call her Aunt Irene, but now, he didn’t use any honorifics when saying her name.
Irene knew that they were having a product launch today, but she still arranged for a shooting to take place next to them. This was obviously done intentionally!
Ever since Irene came back from abroad two years ago, her temperament had changed drastically. Without her military rank, she had released all her inhibitions and had also starred in large-scale erotic dramas, so her shooting a shower gel advertisement naked was not unexpected.
After making some more enquiries, they learned it was an advertisement for a bath product under a big international brand, whose agent in Cethos was Sandra Mitchell.
And so Sandra Mitchell, Faye Edwards and Irene Weber, the three women that Sophia had a grudge against, got together.
This was done deliberately to make her press conference a failure!
Sandra had also picked an appropriate time to give Sophia a call and lorded it over her. “Scarlett, I heard that today Pourl is launching a new product, right? How is it going? It must be jam packed with people!”
Sophia’s face was icy cold. “Yes, there are so many people here,” she replied icily.
She hung up the phone unceremoniously and took a look at the front. Their customers were still there, but many reporters had left. However, the big-name reporters didn’t leave. After all, they were personally invited by her, and it would be rude to leave halfway through.
Sophia had also used her connection with the Michel Family and invited some ace reporters from major international fashion magazines. Naturally, these reporters would not be attracted by some vulgar shower gel advertisement.
All in all, it was just not as crowded as before.
Michael also learned of this news and sneered inside.
This was a trick he had used before.
Previously, at Richard Harper’s engagement banquet, he held a charity dinner next door and attracted all his guests.
He patted Sophia’s shoulder. “It’s okay,” he said. “The only ones who left are some two-bit reporters. To think that they would want to take nude pictures of someone else, they really have no standards. It’s fine even if they’re gone. I called a few friends to come over, and they’ll be here soon.”
Meanwhile, Cooper had half of the people from the Mitchell Family who were in the fashion industry to come.
Linus wanted to come himself, and since it was a slight effort, he brought a group of important VIPs from the fashion world here. No one would refuse Linus Michel’s invitation once he opened his mouth. The Michel Family also had members who were big shots in the fashion world and since this was their patriarch’s order, they needed to come.
This time, Pourl and L/K had collaborated to produce a series of new products, so people from L/K were also here. Hence,there really was no shortage of people at the scene. A few vulgar journalists from some tabloids being absent wouldn’t have any impact on the event.
The product launch proceeded as planned and was about to begin. Before it started, various big shots from the fashion world came as promised, and every single person who received an invitation attended the event.
This is what you get for picking a fight with me!
