My Fiancé's Scandals Never End, So I Married His Uncle Instead-Chapter 160: So It Was The Moneybags

The cameraman was distracted, so the lens was still pointed at the group of top-tier celebrities.

Silas Norwood was among them. When he happened to turn his head, his handsome, refined features were captured on camera.

It was only for a moment, but it was a stunning, unforgettable glimpse.

[HOLY CRAP, THOSE VISUALS! I’ve been watching for days, and I finally caught him! Where did this handsome stranger even come from? Is he an angel? How can a person be this good-looking!!!]

[ONE LOOK AND I’M HOOKED FOR LIFE! This is the first time I’ve truly understood that phrase! No wonder the production team kept him hidden. If I had to look at that face all day, I wouldn’t be able to focus on the show. I’d be too busy drooling!]

[What were they just talking about? Why did all those top-tier male gods flock around the non-celebrity lady and leave? Cameraman, you idiot, why’d you move the camera away! I still want to see the handsome stranger! Or at the very least, see what the top-tier guys and the non-celebrity lady are up to! Why are you pointing the camera at a parking lot?]

...

The live comments scrolled by frantically. Silas Norwood’s few seconds of accidental screen time were causing things to spiral out of control. A staff member reported to Director Coleman:

"In just the last few moments, another two million people have joined the live stream. They’re all here to see the non-celebrity male guest. Headquarters said the sudden influx of traffic is too large, and it’s caused a bug in the backend control system. They’re fixing it now, but the live comment channel is locked. We can’t turn it off for the time being..."

"Forget it." Director Coleman was already a bit numb to it all. "Let it be."

He reached up and scratched his slightly balding head, glancing into the distance. Off-camera, Chairman Norwood’s treasured wife was surrounded by a flock of top-tier celebrities, all intentionally trying to curry favor with her. She looked delighted as she chatted and took photos with them. One of the stars, caught up in the mood, even grabbed a guitar and serenaded her with a couple of tunes. The scene couldn’t have been more harmonious.

’And Chairman Norwood... not a hint of jealousy or possessiveness. He wasn’t competing for attention at all. To be so virtuous and magnanimous!’

Director Coleman silently shifted his attention to Silas Norwood.

He saw Silas Norwood’s gaze fixed on the parking lot.

Following Silas’s line of sight, he looked over at the parking lot, which the production had temporarily reserved. Over a dozen business vans that had followed the celebrity tour buses were parked there silently. No one got out. He couldn’t tell what they were up to.

"Go ask," Director Coleman said with a frown, instructing a staff member in a low voice. "If they’re unaffiliated, have them leave." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

But before the staff member could move, another discreet black business van slowly drove up the lane in the distance.

Almost at the exact moment the vehicle came into view, the doors of the dozen or so business vans opened simultaneously. One by one, men who exuded an aura of wealth and power emerged, accompanied by their assistants.

They were too far away to see their faces clearly.

But their impeccable attire and extraordinary demeanor, with every move betraying a life of privilege, combined with their trail of assistants and bodyguards, was an intimidating sight.

After getting out, the group stood together, chatting and laughing in low voices, but their eyes were all fixed on the approaching black business van. A few seconds later, the van stopped, and Evan Rhodes got out first.

Then, under the watchful eyes of all, Kian Sterling emerged from within.

He wore a bright yellow, fashionably collared shirt that complemented his stunningly handsome face. With sensuous lips and a cool, indifferent gaze, he captured everyone’s attention the moment he appeared.

"Is everyone here?" he asked, glancing lazily at the waiting crowd, his voice casual. "Let’s go."

His long legs moved with an elegant stride as he ambled toward Silas Norwood. Behind him, a group of business tycoons followed in his footsteps, staying half a step behind—neither stealing the spotlight nor appearing too distant, maintaining a perfectly calculated boundary.

The cameraman’s lens happened to be pointed in that direction.

In the live stream, countless viewers stared intently at Kian Sterling’s figure, their minds exploding.

[Kian Sterling?!! Am I seeing things? Oh my god, it’s actually Kian Sterling!]

[AHHH! Why is Kian Sterling here!!! I’m going to lose my mind!]

[Wait, the people following him... is that the chairman of the Starlight Group of Seraphina? The chairman of Oakhaven’s Lumina Estates? The chairman of Veridian City’s Apex Gold Group? The chairman of Metropia’s Syntech Energy...]

[Did the show not only raid the nest of the entertainment industry’s top stars, but now they’ve also rounded up the chairmen of the country’s biggest super-conglomerates?]

...

The excitement over the gathering of top-tier celebrities and the handsome stranger’s god-tier visuals hadn’t even subsided when the live stream exploded again with Kian Sterling’s appearance. Countless comments like ’My husband’ and ’Dream lover’ flooded the screen, and the number of online viewers skyrocketed once more.

Kian Sterling was a regular on the hot search lists and had been in the public eye countless times before.

Director Coleman was quite calm. He even patted the slightly panicked cameraman on the shoulder. "Don’t be nervous. You can film Chairman Sterling as much as you want. It’s fine."

Receiving clear instructions, the cameraman breathed a sigh of relief and focused the lens on Kian Sterling and the group of tycoons around him.

Silas Norwood stood his ground, watching calmly as Kian Sterling approached. Then, Silas offered a polite greeting:

"Brother-in-law."

Kian Sterling replied with equal composure, "Mm."

BOOM—

The interaction was identical to the dream-like crossover on Weibo not long ago, leaving everyone completely stunned!

Even the celebrity guests on set stared at Silas Norwood in shock!

’This mysterious non-celebrity guest just called Kian Sterling his brother-in-law?’

’Then he...’

’Could he be the legendary Metropia’s Moneybags?’

Kian Sterling took the initiative to spell it all out. "Silas Norwood, Chairman Warren and the others are here to discuss a project with you."

Silas Norwood: "Have them talk to Julian Langdon. I don’t have time."

"I know you don’t have time." Kian Sterling glanced at the large group of pretty boys surrounding Celia Sterling and raised an eyebrow. "Isn’t that why I’ve specially freed up some time for you?"

Silas Norwood was silent for a few seconds. "...You really don’t see me as a stranger, Kade, giving me such a generous gift."

Kian Sterling just hummed, pretending not to understand the light jab. "The project. Are you in or not?"

Silas Norwood sighed. "I’ve already been cornered by you, Kade. Let’s talk."

At the side, Chairman Warren and the others came forward with smiles, proactively gathering around Silas Norwood to greet him.

"We hadn’t originally intended to disturb you, Chairman Norwood, but we couldn’t resist the opportunity to connect with you. We brazenly traveled here from all over, but we were afraid you might be displeased, so we had to wait for Chairman Sterling to arrive and make the introduction for us. Hahaha, rest assured, Chairman Norwood, we will only discuss the most important projects with you. It will take half a day at most, so we won’t interrupt your vacation with your wife."

Silas Norwood gave an extremely faint "mm" in response, his expression unreadable.

Director Coleman had already taken the initiative to have people push tables together, tripling the size of the original meeting corner. He then made a big fuss, ordering people to brew tea and set out fruit platters. He had completely forgotten his role as director and was working with the crew on logistics. He even thoughtfully placed two pots of fresh flowers on the conference table.

Everyone waited nearby. Chairman Young and the group from Leviathan Entertainment, who had arrived earlier, also came over to mingle and chat with Chairman Warren’s newly arrived group. They were all in the same circle of the ultra-wealthy, so they had some connections with one another and weren’t strangers. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Kian Sterling and Silas Norwood didn’t join the lively crowd. The two stood off to the side, starting a private, familial conversation between a brother-in-law and his sister’s husband.

"What’s wrong with you, bringing her to a place like this?" Kian Sterling clicked his tongue.
