The audience burst into laughter—the old man was surprisingly humorous. The term ‘washed-up actor’ had stemmed from the insult of an anti-fan some time ago. That person had claimed that Taylor was a washed-up actor with no endorsements nor variety shows. However, that became a running joke within Taylor’s fan group. Every time they mentioned their idol, they would affectionately dub him as the ‘washed-up actor’.

To their surprise, Old Man Fletcher was aware of it too. Judging by the level of his excitement, he must be a fan of Taylor’s! Moreover, he was, without a doubt, a true fan! Still, it wasn’t too surprising. After all, Taylor’s fans covered all age groups, from the elderly to young girls.

Old Man Fletcher had caused such a ruckus during the New Year Dinner Gala; he was undoubtedly telling the world that he was in favor of this washed-up actor! Those words of his made the crowd that accused Taylor of riding on coattails disappear too…

Michael thanked Mark repeatedly. In the end, the host wittily took back control of the flow, and Mark returned to his seat after handing the flowers over. When Michael finished drawing the lots for the lucky draw, he stepped off the stage to remove his makeup.

In the meantime, the New Year Dinner Gala continued. The next time the camera panned toward Mark again, everybody noticed that Taylor Murray, who had removed his makeup and was now dressed in a suit, was sitting to the left of Mark while Ethan Winston and Joel Fletcher were sitting nearby too.

Subsequently, the live broadcast camera kept panning over to Mark. Every time it did, it showed that Taylor seemed to be in deep conversation with Mark. Both middle-aged washed-up actors seemed to have jumped onto the express train to the pinnacle of life!

Although the old man was in good health, he was still an old man. Thus, he left the venue early at 11 PM, and Michael saw him off. After midnight, Michael finally returned home. After changing his clothes, he continued watching the New Year Dinner Gala with everybody else.

Harry yawned and muttered, “I’m never going again next year. I won’t go even if they beg me on their knees.”

Previously, he refused when the New Year Dinner Gala had invited him to perform. After that, the crew begged him again and again. They asked him to be a ‘lucky member of the audience’ that would be chosen to help out a magician with his magic tricks as his assistant. Thinking that being an assistant would not be a big deal, he had agreed to the proposal. During the rehearsal, he discovered that the magic trick the magician was performing was cutting a living person into pieces! As there were several rehearsals and one official performance, he had, all in all, been cut approximately seven or eight times. Moreover, he was cut into three sections every time. It’s so emotionally draining… He then hugged Sarah, who was sitting on his lap and holding his hand, and they cuddled together.
