After getting the bombshell dropped on her, Sophia frantically searched for Taylor’s information on the internet. Taylor was an extremely mysterious man, and no one knew about his family background. It was rumored that his mother was Elizabeth Murray, the popular award-winning actress about thirty to forty years ago.
Elizabeth used to be a Broadway singer too before she became a film actress. In fact, she had been a porn actress when she first ventured into the filming industry.
Later on, she repackaged herself, changed her image and starred in many costume dramas, becoming a popular movie icon during that era. However, she retired from the film industry all of a sudden and no one heard about her ever again.
Many years later, Taylor appeared. Every aspect of him resembled Elizabeth so much that her movie fans and Broadway fans felt like they had seen him somewhere before. Nonetheless, they were merely speculations which hadn’t been personally confirmed by Taylor before.
Then, Sophia’s online searches revealed lots of gay, pornographic novels featuring Taylor and Ethan as well as Taylor and Daniel as gay couples in those stories.
Sophia was very shocked from every piece of bombastic information she received today; she needed time to take in all of that information. Taylor was actually her husband!
She had no idea about Taylor or Ethan’s existence before this. She had been living in her maternal grandfather’s house since she was little, and their household was rather poor. She’d even have to depend on her uncles’ mood to see if she could have a decent meal every day.
Hence, it was just impossible for her to watch television in the house at all. Besides, Sophia was an extremely hardworking girl who studied very hard since she was young. She would read whenever she had time instead of watching television and idolizing any movie stars.
Sometimes, her uncle and aunt would be generous enough to allow her to watch television, but the only dramas she was allowed to watch were some lousy local TV shows which aired at eight o’clock every day.
All the movies which Michael starred in were international blockbuster movies that premiered in large cinemas, so it was only natural for her to not know who Taylor was.
She found herself in a daze all day long until the meet-and-greet in the evening; Sophia realized that she would be spacing out occasionally from time to time.
The meet-and-greet was going to be held on the field of the hunting ground in Audistin. Each company gathered around in a semicircle surrounding the center stage. While the staff members were still adjusting the light and sound system, everyone had already come to book a spot on the field.
Everybody was very excited today. It was the first time they had been so enthusiastic during their military training. Sophia sat with the 49th Company with a blank expression on her face.
She was still in a daze; she couldn’t stop thinking about the video where Michael had worn a suit and sang in a Broadway musical show she watched just now. He is so handsome! How can a man look so handsome? So, how can a man like him possibly like women?
Company Commander Ford walked around the company. Looking at the longing expressions on his students’ faces, he teased unforgivingly, “Look at all of you—with that silly look on your faces, you guys look even happier when you see a man than seeing a meat dish!”
The students burst out laughing following his hilarious remark; the atmosphere was unusually lively and merry.
Just as Sophia was still in a daze, she heard screams from the girls beside her all of a sudden. As several thousand girls screamed at the same time, it sounded loud and deafening as it echoed through the air.
The meet-and-greet had begun, and the casts of ‘Doctor Invincible’ arrived soon enough.
‘Doctor Invincible’ was an international blockbuster with a massive budget. Both the main and supporting casts were experienced superstars, but most of the people who were sitting below the stage were millionaires of Bayside City. To them, these superstars were nothing more than just playthings; as long as they were willing to pay, they could see any superstar they wanted anytime.
However, both Taylor and Ethan were an exception; they had been in the entertainment business for more than ten years, and were extremely popular in the industry.
Hence, it was impossible to see them no matter how much those millionaires were willing to pay. Clearly, the best things couldn’t be obtained easily. Thus, those wealthy students were just as fanatic as the ordinary students when it came to idolizing these two superstars.
Sophia stretched her neck and looked at the cast members, watching as Michael and Harry strode elegantly toward them.
Michael looked cool and mysterious while dressed in a well-tailored black suit. As his lips curved into a warm and faint smile, there was a glimmer of a smile in his eyes too. Standing at 185 centimeters tall, he was a walking clothes hanger which looked perfect in any fashion style.
Placing his hands leisurely in his pockets, he looked casual yet charming. He possessed a natural, award-winning-actor temperament which was put on display the moment he entered.
