My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 428

Although it wasn't certain whether Imperial Entertainment was involved in this plot, it wasn't a mererumor that Nicole had tried to seduce Richard to become famous, for the sex video was still availabeonline.

To these people, Nicole was a slut who wanted to snatch the leading role at all costs.

As the walk-ons kept deriding Nicole, Xyla was gleeful.

This b*tch, Nicole, framed Richard and made love to him. She even got the leading role of “WarDragon’! This role was supposed to be mine!

The drama featured male characters, so it didn't matter who the female lead was. In this case, whyshould Nicole be the female lead instead of Xyla?

When they were done with the scene, Nicole was thirsty, but her assistant was nowhere to be seen.Reaching for her own bag, she took out a flask to drink some water. Since she was on her period,she could only drink warm water. However, there was a strong salty taste in the water.

That taste nearly made her retch. Shocked, she spat out the water and realized that someone hadpoured a large amount of salt into her flask.

“Hahaha...”

The supporting actresses, who surrounded Xyla, burst into laughter as they were gleeful that Nicolewas resentful but couldn't do anything.

So what if she’s the female lead? We can bully her as we please!

Hearing the laughter, Nicole knew who did it, but she never pointed out the person. Her thirst wasmade worse by the salty water as the taste lingered in her mouth. Without her assistant and agentaround, she was helpless. Left with no choice, she could only go to a kiosk to buy a bottle of water.Too much water would affect her performance, but insufficient water made her throat feel dry. Forthe entire morning, she wasn't in tip-top condition, but she managed to finish her part withperseverance.

Seeing how Nicole was discomfited, Xyla smiled joyfully.

As long as I'm here, I won't make life easy for her! Sooner or later, I'll replace her!

Everyone was laughing at how Nicole was thirsty but was forced to continue taking part in thefilming.

As a supporting actress herself, Olivia was jealous that Xyla was so popular among the otheractresses; even her breath smelled of jealousy.

Well, she’s the daughter of the Huff Family and the fiancee of the Young Master of Harper Groupafter all!

Despite always strutting around the production site as Taylor's cousin, she knew that she wasn'tcomparable to Xyla.

All of a sudden, Xyla's assistant rushed over and informed everyone, “Mr. Harper is here!”

Hearing that, they pushed Xyla forward excitedly.

“Your fiance is here again!”

"Xyla, go get him quickly!”

They all urged her to fetch that Mr. Harper here, who was none other than Richard Harper.Although he had suffered a setback and had dropped out of Bayside University some time ago, hewas still the Young Master of the Harper Family. Now, he focused his time on his work and used allsorts of dirty tricks to take back control of the Harper Group. After expelling all his opponents fromthe board of directors, he had once again reached the top of his career.

In fact, he now had a bigger ambition as he wanted to grow Harper Group into a company as largeas Asco International.

As the golden Maybach pulled up in the car park outside the production site, everyone saw that thebackseat of the roadster was stuffed with flowers of various colors.

“Wow, it's a car full of flowers!”

“So romantic. It'd be fantastic if I had such a fiance!”

Surrounded by voices of praise and amazement, Xyla walked out of the crowd like a princess andreached for Richard.

Having suffered from those setbacks, Richard was no longer the reckless playboy in the past as hewas now a decisive businessman.

No matter how much he has changed, he is the Richard I remember. Our love and marriage willnever change! I'm still the prestigious daughter of the Huff Family as well as the future wife ofRichard Harper!

“Richard,” Xyla called out in a sweet yet shy voice.

"Xyla,” Richard replied in a low voice. Upon taking off his sunglasses, he bent over as his handsomeface magnified before Xyla's eyes. Then, he planted a hot yet gentle kiss on her cheek.

Seeing that, the crowd started praising them.

“They are a couple made in heaven!"

“They are a perfect match!”

“He is handsome, while she is beautiful!”

At that moment, Xyla's vanity was satisfied, for she felt as though she was the most prestigiouswoman in the world.

With a bouquet of flowers in her hands, she held hands with Richard as they walked into theproduction site. Unfortunately, the first person they came across was Nicole.

Nicole Walker! Seeing her, Richard was so furious that his facial features started creasing together.It's this woman who ruined my reputation! She has even become the female lead of “War Dragon!However, it's apparent that she isn't doing well on the production site. It seems that her financialbacker has dumped her!

To Richard, Nicole was just a nobody he could destroy at any moment, so he wouldn't let her off.Nicole knew that Richard had arrived, and he was staring at her with a ruthless gaze, but shecouldn't shrink back. Now, she had to make use of her limited resources to protect herself. I can'tback down!

Richard retracted his vicious gaze and said to the supporting actresses around Xyla, “All of you mustbe exhausted. I will treat you to a meal. You can order whatever you want!”

The actresses cheered. He's handsome, rich and generous. Such a perfect boyfriend! they thought.Despite the harmonious atmosphere, someone came forward to make a scene.

A cold voice suddenly pierced through the warm atmosphere and reached Richard's ears. Like asharp knife, it slashed across his fragile and hypocritical soul. “Oh, Richard, you're already bailed outso quickly? It must have cost you a lot of money.”

At that instant, Richard felt cold all over his body and soul as though a basin of cold water had beensplashed at him. He felt like the veins in his body were frozen, but the blood in the veins startedboiling strangely as the hair on his skin rose.

stiffening, he turned around and saw a woman, who was clad in casual clothes with an umbrella inher hand and a pair of sunglasses on her face, standing not far away.

As the breeze came at her, the hem of her dress rose and exposed her fair legs.

Sophia seemed to be excited to meet Richard as she took off her sunglasses and tilted her headwith a smile. Despite the seemingly harmless smile, what she was about to say was extremelyvicious. “I thought you'd be imprisoned for a few years. After all, you assaulted the police andpartnered with gangsters to kidnap someone. These are all serious crimes.”

Richard's smile was wiped off as his expression was now mixed with coldness, fury, contempt, andeven a tinge of fear.
