Nora Scott listened to Oliver’s words and her expression was sowhat solemn.
Loulanel plan?
Sounds familiar.
She should have heard it sowhere.
After explaining, Oliver hesitated and asked, "Sis, you know Eli Linfield, right?"
"Mm."
"I feel this guy isn’t very reliable," Oliver put his elbow on the table and tapped his fingertip lightly, "He says he knows the whereabouts of ’Clarence.’ Can you believe him?"
Actually, Marcus Shaw and he hadn’t fully trusted Eli Linfield.
After all, they asked a lot of people in the village but couldn’t find Clarence’s whereabouts. On the contrary, Eli Linfield was the one who voluntarily ca to tell them he knew Clarence’s whereabouts.
And he kept them hanging.
——They were worried Eli Linfield would deny knowing them once things got done.
"Fifty-fifty." Nora Scott took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "He might not know, but he certainly won’t tell you guys."
"Huh?"
Oliver exclaid in surprise.
Marcus Shaw furrowed his brows.
Putting the teacup on the table, Nora Scott leaned back in the chair, comnting indifferently, "Out of ten things he says, nine are lies, and the other one is nonsense."
"..."
Oliver and Marcus Shaw exchanged glances.
At this mont, Oliver moved slightly towards Nora, smiling as he seriously discussed with Nora, "Sis, do you think you could back us up or sothing..."
The straight-A student was very skilled at playing cute with his sister.
Marcus Shaw couldn’t understand Oliver’s behavior: wouldn’t beating Eli Linfield up privately be satisfying? Why ask for Nora’s help?
Having no friends, Marcus Shaw naturally couldn’t understand this special technique of strengthening relationships.
Nora Scott chuckled, "Where is he?"
"Don’t know." Oliver looked around and estimated, "He should be back tonight."
While speaking, Valeria Young, Clent Winter, and Nelson ca down from the second floor, followed by the show crew, ending the siblings’ conversation.
"You guys are here," Valeria Young approached as if nothing had happened, smiling, "Nora, the three of us discussed and decided that I, you, and Clent will go to get the ingredients, and Nelson will be in charge of cooking. Do you have any objections?"
"Doesn’t matter."
Nora had no objections to this arrangent.
——After all, she really didn’t like cooking.
"Then let’s go." Valeria Young turned and started to leave, but when she saw Oliver and Marcus Shaw standing up, she stopped and deliberately asked, "Aren’t you two brothers coming along?"
Marcus Shaw’s expression remained cold.
Oliver was relatively friendly, smiling lightly, "I think this is our freedom."
Frowning discontentedly, Valeria Young asked again, "Aren’t you employees?"
"We’re temporary workers, the kind that doesn’t get paid. Besides, there are no guests other than you, so we have no other job." Oliver smiled warmly, explaining calmly, "Lastly, we weren’t planning to co, just wanted to tidy up the table."
Oliver’s words blocked all avenues for conflict, leaving Valeria Young stunned and unable to speak.
The crowd was embarrassed.
The older brother was cold and suffocating with his words, making people hesitate to speak.
The younger brother was polite, but his words gave no room for maneuver, leaving people helpless.
This pair of brothers was truly remarkable.
Nora was used to this, casually strolling over and winking at Clent Winter, "Let’s go."
"Oh, okay."
Still caught up in Oliver’s clever retort, Clent Winter snapped back to reality, quickly nodded, and followed Nora out the door.
Valeria Young was at a loss, but said nothing, only able to follow Nora and Clent Winter dejectedly.

This segnt’s setup was actually a bit shaless.
Using their celebrity influence to ask the villagers for food, without spending money, making the villagers willingly provide food, and how much they get depends entirely on their ability.
Of course, the crew would provide so compensation and sponsor’s products later. But during the process of "asking for food," neither the guests nor the villagers were inford.
"How do we ask for this?"
Entering the residential area, Clent Winter was hesitant, scratching his head and feeling difficult to speak.
"You can trade labor for it," Nora suggested, then asked, "Can you do housework?"
"..."
Clent Winter blinked innocently.
Nora understood: another pampered young master, just like Oliver.
However, without any sign of worry, Nora looked at Valeria Young walking ahead, casually saying, "Then let’s take a look first."
"Mm."
Clent Winter understood, nodding obediently.
Unlike Clent’s restraint and shyness, Valeria Young walked past a house with cured ats hanging, caught sight of chickens and ducks in the yard, her eyes sparkling, and after pondering a mont, she stepped into the yard and shouted to bring the housewife out.
Valeria Young began by saying, "Auntie, do you know ?"
"..."
The aunt looked as if she’d seen a ghost.
Nora smirked and pulled Clent Winter to stand outside the yard, not walking in, quietly watching.
"Auntie, my na is Valeria Young, I’m an actress. Have you watched ’XXX’? I’m in it..." Blah blah blah.
Valeria Young was briefly awkward but then enthusiastically began promoting herself to the auntie.
Clent Winter admired Valeria Young’s courage greatly.
——In the entertainnt industry for many years, such thick-skinned bravery was rare.
"Oh, oh, oh, don’t know." The auntie grew impatient, waving her hand, saying, "What do you want to do?"
Valeria Young still felt no embarrassnt, continuing, "Can I ask for so cured ats from your ho? Chicken, duck, vegetables, anything, no disdain."
"..."
The aunt had a grandfather-on-the-subway-looking-at-his-phone expression.
???
Where did this crazy person co from?
The local culture is fierce, no concern for reputation, whether there are caras or if they are celebrities, the aunt showed no rcy, "You may not mind, but I do. Who are you even? Why should I give you my chicken, duck, or cured ats? Go on, get out—"
It was truly rciless.
The onlookers almost wanted to cheer.
However——
The sa aunt who had impatiently driven away Valeria Young in the previous mont had her expression change when she saw Nora, quickly breaking into a smile, "Nora, you’re here!"
