"Thinking about it now, if Aaron Scott bribed Max Loughton to steal the blueprints from Evelyn Easton, it makes sense."
Nora Scott slowly finished speaking.
Marcus Shaw was a bit stunned as he listened.
Because Nora never took Evelyn Easton’s blueprints seriously, and since Evelyn really hadn’t developed anything noteworthy, even upon a brief glance he felt that her blueprints were exaggerated.
Unexpectedly—
Soone else actually took an interest in Evelyn’s blueprints and did such a dirty deed behind the scenes.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Oliver Scott, hearing this for the first ti, widened his eyes in surprise. He glanced back quickly, peeked at the two, and then blushed, lowering his head.
Damn...
His grandfather actually did such a thing?
No wonder Nora showed Aaron no face at all during his birthday banquet.
"But there’s no evidence, it’s all just speculation..."
Nora spoke leisurely, her fingers toying with a bottle cap, the whole bottle of water swaying as she suddenly curled her lips, "Whether it’s true or not, a eting with Max will tell us everything."
At that mont, her aura intensified dramatically, sharp and powerful.
Marcus’s lips tightened into a straight line.

The next day.
At dawn, Pedro Langley scooped Nora out of bed, got her ready, had breakfast, and under Butler Loxley’s smiling gaze, she dozed off again in Pedro’s car until they arrived at school.
"Nora, would you like to carry you to the film set?"
Pedro parked the car outside the school, turned back and saw Nora shift from lying down to leaning against the car window, her eyes still closed, he couldn’t resist teasing her.
With her hands in her hair, Nora cradled her head, full of doubt: "Why do people have to work?"
Pedro chuckled, his voice low and deep, "To tell the world—"
"Huh?"
Nora raised her eyes in confusion.
His lips curled into a bright smile, Pedro reached out to tousle her ssy hair and added, word by word, "You are an actor with talent."
"..."
After a mont’s pause, Nora sighed, tilted her head up, and conceded with a gesture of respect toward him, "No wonder you’re my CEO brother. You managed to fill my morning with so serious motivation."
The thing is, she actually bought it.
Completely awake now.
Nora glanced outside, seeing the sunrise, the bright and warm sunlight spreading, she squinted slightly.

Since she still had to do makeup and get styled after arriving at the set, Nora didn’t particularly groom herself, just tidied her hair up and then parted ways with Pedro to head to the set.
Waiting until her figure disappeared, Pedro restarted the car and headed to the office.
With the set just opening, everyone was busy at their duties, while Rosie Sullivan had been holding onto costu props, ready and waiting. As soon as she saw Nora, she ran over.
"Master, you’re here." Rosie said, handing the pre-prepared coffee to her. "Ready to get styled now?"
"Yeah."
Nora replied.
However, just as she turned, she saw Henry Chapman, with drooping brows, walking straight toward her. Although expressionless, it was clearly visible he was not happy.
As he got closer, Nora imdiately asked, "Who bullied you?"
"..." Henry looked at empty-handed Nora, his brows furrowing, "Where’s my breakfast?"
!!!
Forgotten!
Nora, who had planned to bring breakfast for Henry from ho but was in a daze the whole ti and forgot to tell Butler Loxley, thought: "..." For so reason, the motivational speech from her CEO brother now seed pretty useless.
Pointless motivation.
