The security in the neighborhood wasn’t particularly strict, so Nora Scott and the two others smoothly blended in by following the food delivery person.
Strolling around the neighborhood, Nora looked around and asked, "Where does he live?"
Oliver Scott replied, "Building 12, I ca here once before when discussing ’Golden Lightning’ with Mr. Flynn."
So, Oliver led the way.
After waiting two minutes downstairs at Building 12, the three followed a lady into the building and smoothly reached Glenn Flynn’s apartnt door.
The doorbell rang once.
Soon, soone ca to open the door. But the one who opened it was a young woman, looking at the three outside with caution and vigilance through an iron gate.
Nora stood to the side, hidden in the shadows, while Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott faced her directly. Oliver first dispelled her wariness a little with a friendly smile.
"What do you need?" the woman asked.
Oliver asked, "Hello. Is Glenn Flynn living here?"
Hearing this na, the woman paused for a mont, then seed to realize, "That’s the previous tenant, right? I moved in here half a month ago, I don’t know."
With that, she was about to close the door.
Oliver quickly said, "Wait a minute, sister. You an Glenn Flynn moved out half a month ago?"
Because of his harmless appearance, the woman gradually lowered her guard. After hesitating for a mont, she nodded and added, "At least half a month ago. When I ca to see the place, it was already vacant. I didn’t ask more."
"Ah," Oliver said in surprise, and thanked the woman.
...
Five minutes later, the three walked out of the neighborhood.
"Didn’t hear about Mr. Flynn moving," Oliver scratched his head, a bit worried, "Moved house, changed his phone number, how are we supposed to find him now?"
As soon as he finished asking, Marcus tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on Nora.
Oliver suddenly realized, and when he looked at Nora, his eyes lit up.
"Rember to pay up..."
Nora helplessly muttered, took out her phone, and called Rosie Sullivan.
Biel Hall worked quickly this ti, and as soon as they left the neighborhood, Rosie called back, providing Nora with detailed information.
"Glenn Flynn moved out of his rental after the exam at the First Affiliated High School, stayed ho for a while until the end of July, and then left Fenton City for Anchel," Rosie said, "His new phone number and spending records can be found, it’s not difficult, but it involves privacy... Hall Master, need to investigate?"
"No need."
After a brief thought, Nora replied.
After hanging up the call with Rosie, Nora contacted Steward Durant from Benjamin Durant’s family, asking him to look for soone nad "Glenn Flynn" from Fenton City in Anchel, no need to make contact, just get a general idea of his situation.
Nora had been kind to the Durant Family, and everyone in the family held great respect for her, fearing she’d bother them for nothing. Now that Nora asked, Steward Durant imdiately agreed without hesitation.
After making two calls, Nora looked up to see Marcus and Oliver staring at her, she smiled at once, "He went to Anchel, changing phone numbers is normal, there should be no problem. I’ll have soone check it again."
Oliver breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks, sis!"
Marcus glanced at Nora.
Perhaps due to a sixth sense, Marcus vaguely felt—Nora’s attention to Glenn Flynn’s matters might not be so simple.
Apart from Nora’s interests or long-standing relationships, there were few instances that made her so attentive. Especially since Nora had barely t Glenn, he might not even be considered a friend.
But this wasn’t sothing easy to inquire about.
So he let it go.
Returning to Cloudwater Haven in the evening, Marcus and others were treated to a sumptuous dinner by Loxley, and after that, Marcus went to the study intending to check online reviews and further debug "Maze 2". To his surprise, the number of comnts was overwhelming.
Station X followers increased by three hundred thousand.
?
It’s just a niche ga, where did all this traffic co from?
It wasn’t until he saw the comnts—
[God Z recomnded, leaving a paw print.]
[After Rain God, it’s God Z. Who exactly are you, mister?]
[Thank you, God Z. Seeing the followers rise back to one hundred thousand made this old fan almost burst into tears.]
[God Z is a freak at attracting followers, even recomnding a ga can get you an increase of three hundred thousand! Damn, it’s still growing...]
Marcus lifted an eyelid and understood.
The promotion by Nora directly led to a surge in comnts and downloads, but the useful comnts were few and far between, like sifting through the sand for gold, Marcus watched for a while, sighed, and exited.
He focused on debugging.

Nora received news that evening, that Rosa Sullivan confird she couldn’t participate in the follow-up shooting and had to withdraw from "Reversing Life." The crew needed to recast. After discussions among the director and others, it was decided that "Reversing Life" would be temporarily halted for two days, after which they would rush through filming the supporting roles, postponing the lead actress’s scenes to be fild later.
Recasting and reshooting.
This ant that the subsequent shooting schedule would be very tight, and the entire crew wouldn’t even have ti for gossip, much less take a breather.
The work intensity was imaginable.
Once inford, Nora glanced at the group chat, nearly everyone was cursing Luna Durant, they were furious, even speculating conspiratorially that Luna was representing "Sumr" in unfair competition.
Nora Scott, as the key figure in influencing this event: "..."
Although no one anticipated the consequences.
Though it was Rosa Sullivan who first harbored intentions, leading Nora to retaliate.
But, it did indeed have sothing to do with Nora.
Though it seed a bit like shooting herself in the foot, Nora had no intention of admitting fault; instead, she calmly accepted the developnt result.
Given another choice, she would still "bring down" Rosa Sullivan.
In comparison, Rosa’s loss was greater.
It’s called facing the consequences of one’s actions.
The next day, "Twelve’s" official blog announced "Rosa Sullivan was injured and broke a leg, withdrawing from ’Reversing Life’ shooting," due to the high attention on this drama, it quickly sparked a buzz.
People knew Rosa Sullivan through "Escape Room" and "Twelve." Many felt this newcor was destined for great fa in the entertainnt industry, but then—
Clapping halfway through, Rosa suddenly withdrew from "Twelve" due to an accident, leaving people sighing with emotion.
Soon, insiders revealed that Rosa and Luna weren’t on good terms, having several clashes during filming; this incident with Rosa was related to Luna.
Despite quick public relations handling by Luna’s side, news couldn’t be contained, and a wave of online curses directed at Luna erged.
Lucky for Luna, she had money for public relations and plenty of fans; two days later, they managed to suppress the news.
The online audience’s mory was limited; their sympathy for Rosa lasted just a couple of days before "Twelve" again made an announcent, declaring Arlene Lyle as the new lead in "Reversing Life," sparking another wave of discussion.
Arlene Lyle, a child star who had appeared in nurous films and TV shows, with over half being classic works, winning multiple prestigious Best Actress awards at just 13. Her acting skills were astounding; every ntion of her usually led to amazent over her performance.
The little girl was pretty as a child, and her looks only improved as she grew older.
If she once resembled a little elf, now she was like a fairy.
Now 21, signed under Fernwood Entertainnt. Previously, Alfred Lawrence first considered Arlene for a role, but she was tied up with another project, making it impossible. She wrapped up filming early a few days ago, fitting her schedule perfectly, so naturally, joined in.
And with her capability and popularity, replacing Rosa Sullivan seed justifiable, difficult for anyone to feel injustice for Rosa.
Arlene had the right image, solid acting, and an outstanding public rapport with national recognition... how many mom-fans and granny-fans does she have nationwide?
Even if it ant taking on an urgent appointnt, who dared to question her replacing Rosa?
Upon receiving the news, Nora was still on holiday, sunbathing on the neighboring house’s balcony. After reading, she glanced at Pedro Langley who was reading in the living room.
Withdrawing her gaze.
When returning to her phone, upon seeing the words "Fernwood," she beca increasingly suspicious, suddenly realizing sothing.
"Pedro Langley."
Nora tightly gripped her phone, suddenly turned her head, calling Pedro’s na.
Pedro looked up.
Narrowing her eyes a little, Nora suspiciously asked, "Did you plan in advance for Arlene Lyle to replace Rosa Sullivan?"
Arlene Lyle, Fernwood Entertainnt.
And Pedro Langley.
This whole thing seed odd.
The timing was too convenient—the original plan called for Arlene to wrap up shooting in half a month, how co she finished so early?
As if knowing in advance that Rosa would have trouble, and making preparations beforehand.
Flipping a page, Pedro lifted his eyelids and spoke calmly, "...Yes."
