My Dreamy Old Husband
Chapter 96

After Sophia had her hands on Michael's iPad, she couldn't keep her hands off it, and had beenenjoying his movies all day long.

How was it even possible that such a good-looking man existed?

In all his movies, Taylor could act in any type of role naturally, without any flaws. It was as if he wasborn to be an actor.

And now, Sophia realized that she knew too little about her husband, whom she flash married. Sheknew almost nothing about him, let alone his background. It was only recently that she found outabout his job.

After the meeting with the crew of “Doctor Invincible’, it was all everyone in camp could talk aboutfor the next few days. As such, Sophia took the opportunity to listen in to some gossip.

No one knew about Michael's background, for his personal information had been protected fromthe public with extra precautions, including his real name, not to mention his father's identity.

But rumor had it that his mother was a famous celebrity around 30 to 40 years ago, who went bythe name of Elizabeth Murray. She used to perform operas, but had later switched to singing andacting. It was when the television was first invented, and Elizabeth who had both beauty and talent,became well known to the public.

She wasn't only the queen of TV drama ratings, but was also the box office champion. She dabbledin operas, films, dramas, and even the music industry, all of which were so remarkable that theyeven became famous overseas.

Once a beloved national treasure, she influenced the entire world and became the top Asiancelebrity. If it were today, she would've been a global star, receiving awards from Oscars non-stop.Despite that, Elizabeth had a dark past. It was believed that she used to act in adult films during herearly years, and was later discovered after she rose to fame. As a result, she suffered from severedepression and tried to take her own life several times.

Later, Elizabeth left the entertainment industry without a trace. Since then, there had been no newsof her.

No one knew where she had gone. Some said that she was married and retired while others saidthat she was banned from the industry because her involvement in adult films had a negativeimpact. There were also some who believed that she had committed suicide.

No one knew exactly where Elizabeth was, and her fans had missed her so much. Even after decadesof pop stars dominating the industry, people hadn't forgotten about her.

After all, the woman represented an era!

After almost 30 years of her disappearance, Taylor Murray turned up. Elizabeth's fans saw shadowsof Elizabeth in him—nhis facial features, temperament, and even his singing and figure. AlthoughTaylor had never talked about his personal life, people had regarded him as Elizabeth's descendant.For that reason, there were a lot of middle-aged and elderly among Taylor's fans. He had anextremely strong fan base among the general public, from little kids to teenage girls, and evensquare-dancing older men—the age range was huge.

This humongous fan base had allowed him to sit firmly on the throne as the number 1 movie star inthe country. He sometimes starred in dramas from big production companies, and all of his movieswere box-office hits, alongside his dramas.

There were many who were rich among the freshmen, and they usually had more insiderinformation than others. It wasn't long before Sophia found out some juicy information that wasn'ta well-known fact—years ago, Taylor had attempted to marry into wealth, but ultimately failed indoing so.

There was even such a thing?

As everyone was busy discussing, Sophia listened in secretly, her ears like an antenna catchingsignals. She was extremely interested in gossip about her husband.

Michael had been the topic of conversation at most of the recent slumber talks in the camp.Everyone would talk about his movies, outfits and even his face for the whole night. Sophia thoughtthat these girls were unbelievable, and was trying to figure out why they wouldn't just sleep whenthey had the time.

Yet, what was even scarier was that she had been enjoying listening to all the talk!

“I'll tell you guys, but you can't tell anyone about it!" warned the girl who told the story, acting allmysterious and enigmatic. Upon hearing that, everyone nodded and listened carefully.

The girl started to narrate, “This is what Faye told me. You guys know that she’s one of the Edwards,right? She said that Miss Taylor has gotten engaged twice!”

The girls were all surprised. So the man wasn't heartless! He was engaged and might've even beenmarried for years!

Many hearts were broken at that moment.

Sophia was a little dumbfounded as she didn’t know that Michael had this marriage history.

But hey, the guy was an outstanding man. His admirers, both women and men, could probably lineup all the way from Bayside University's main gate right up to the camp's gate. Aren't I one of them?She continued to listen in, wanting to know more about her husband's exes.

The girl who was spilling the tea had a mysterious look on her face. “Miss Taylor's first fiancée wasvery influential in the society. From what I heard, she’s a literary soldier from the Central MilitaryCommission Political Department Song and Dance Troupe. She was also in the literary and artisticcircle, and her rank isn't a low one!"

Wow, that's so cool!

Sophia was shocked. Working in the literary and artistic circle was a whole other level from theentertainment industry, and could be considered as a real artist. And if she had a high ranking aswell, that would make her amazing!

Michael had to be equally incredible to be engaged to such a stunning woman! Only someone witha similar family background could do that!

Come to think of it, he was one of the Fletchers. This in and on itself was already magnificent.

Just then, the girl continued, “It's a pity no one could replace out anything about the woman, but shewas very famous. Rumor has it that the woman met with an accident and fell seriously ill, whichcaused the marriage to eventually fall through.”

Everyone let out a deep sigh. But at the same time, they were happy that their idol was still single.As the girl told the story, those from the upper and lower bunk had popped their heads out, eagerlywanting to know more about Taylor's story. Even Nathan listened in attentively, wanting to knowwhat everyone thought about his uncle.

“Miss Taylor's second fiancée is even more unbelievable!” The girl held her chin up proudly as if shewas the one being mentioned. “The second fiancée was one of the Edwards, and was a directdescendant of the family.

Apparently, they were engaged, but on the day before the wedding, the fiancée almost died in anaccident. That was why Miss Taylor's marriage plan fell through again.”

Everyone felt sorry, but rejoiced at the same time. They couldnt help but be reminded aboutTaylor's curse of being a wife-jinxer.

Thinking about the sudden accidents of his fiancées that blew off the marriage plan, they doubtedall of these were just a coincidence.

As Sophia had recalled the gossip she heard in the camp from the past few days, she noticed thateverything that had happened to Michael was odd.

They said that when he debuted in his first movie, he had an intimate scene with his co-star. Whenthe movie was released, it became a box office hit, and they had went on to receive lots of awards.But not long after that, the actress took her own life due to depression. Till today, it wasunconfirmed whether she had committed suicide or it was a homicide.

Taylor had been in the industry for more than 10 years and didn't have a lot of scandals, but therewere a few with some female celebrities. One of them was when a reporter got him on cameragoing to a hotel with a female celebrity, discussing their script in the middle of the night. Not longafter, the female celebrity broke her leg in a car accident.

There were others who had been embroiled in a scandal with him, but oddly, most of them wereeither involved in some kind of blood-shedding disaster, or they lost their fame, or were evenbanned and vanished from the public eyes.
