Netizens responded eagerly to the ginkgo leaf pattern, starting to dig for clues online.
At the sa ti, hosts from various livestreams gathered around. The official streaming ti was handed over to the old curator and the chanical Puppet, while other online hosts began interviewing notable visitors and masters from other exhibits, each seizing topics to hype up attention.
As a hot topic figure in the art exhibition, Rosa Sullivan was naturally a target for the hosts.
Both she and Aaron Scott were stopped without exception.
"It seems the creators of the hot exhibit ’Automatic Factory’—Rosa Sullivan, Miss Sullivan, Aaron Scott, and Old Master Scott—are very interested in the chanical Puppet," the host said with a smile, aiming the microphone at them, "Since both are in the field of chanical techniques, what do you two think after viewing the chanical Puppet?"
With caras around, Aaron Scott was particularly conscious of his image, adopting the posture of an expert and master, and began to comnt earnestly.
His words were entirely official.
The livestream popularity continued to decline.
[So boring. I’d rather watch his granddaughter clap back at people than listen to him talk.]
[Is Nora Scott really his granddaughter? They totally don’t share the sa style in speech and action.]
[Host, please quickly hand the mic to the sister next to him, thank you.]
...
Enduring Aaron Scott’s lengthy praise, the host responded with a forced smile and quickly turned the mic to Rosa Sullivan.
"What’s Miss Sullivan’s opinion?" the host asked with a smile, "You co from a family renowned for chanical techniques, you must have heard a lot about Master Sliver, right? Have you t in private?"
"I have indeed heard of Master Sliver," Rosa Sullivan replied calmly, "though I haven’t t her personally, soone in my family had the honor to collaborate with her."
In the livestream chat:
[Wow, the host picked the right person to ask, there’s so juicy info here!]
[As expected of a family of chanical techniques! I heard Master Sliver is very mysterious, and her family has actually interacted with her?!]
[I sense Rosa Sullivan’s chance to turn the tables is here! Should have used chanical techniques for hype, focusing on the bamboo flute wasn’t the right path!]
...
The host, pleasantly surprised, wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip, "Both we and the audience are very curious about Master Sliver, is there anything you can share about her, Miss Sullivan?"
"From what my brother who collaborated with her said, she is very talented, and her expertise in chanical techniques is extraordinary..."
Each word was full of praise.
Rosa Sullivan wasn’t lying, because in her understanding, Adrian Sullivan did indeed work with "Master Sliver." However, Adrian landed himself in prison, exiting the 1101 engineering team, unaware of what happened afterward – Daniela Esteves was an impostor for Master Sliver, and Nora Scott’s chanical techniques stunned everyone.
She didn’t actually hear too much from Adrian, just knew Daniela was female and young, so she naturally wasn’t suspicious, thus spoke at length to the cara to highlight "our family’s close ties with Master Sliver."
The excitent in the livestream soared.
With the endorsent of a "mysterious Master Sliver," netizens beca increasingly curious about the Xiangel City Sullivan Clan and Rosa Sullivan.
This layer of brilliance alone was enough to erase Rosa Sullivan’s past blemishes.
[I’m a fan of this sister now!]
[Not to ntion, a bit of vanity in young people is understandable. But isn’t Miss Sullivan’s beauty, talent, and background worth being a fan of?]
[Hahaha, the favorability skyrocketed.]
[Is this the script of a supporting character’s reversal, using the art exhibition to cleanse her image in such a short ti?]
...
"Looks like asking the right person indeed led to lots of news about Master Sliver." The host smiled broadly.
"If possible, I would also like to et her and exchange views on chanical techniques."
It was "exchange" rather than "seek guidance."
The attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, carrying the pride of coming from an established family, easily gaining favor.
No one doubted her.
Since the success of "Escape Room" popularized chanical techniques, the Xiangel City Sullivan Clan’s reputation was resounding.
Adrian Sullivan often participated in various lectures and platforms, also beca an honorary professor at a local university in Xiangel City, with accolades and reputation, he was highly sought after. Now the matter of his arrest and the Sullivan Clan’s fall were suppressed, known only to a few, while the online spectators were naturally unaware.
In their view, compared to the Xiangel City Sullivan Clan, the so-called Master Sliver should be about the sa.
The host chatted a bit more about Master Sliver, soon noticing the official livestream’s host heading to the next exhibit – "Mist Seeing Flower," catching a glimpse of the very conspicuous Nora Scott in the crowd, he thought of Aaron Scott once more.
"Old Master Scott, I heard Nora Scott is your granddaughter. Grandfather and granddaughter participating in the art exhibition together, each having their own distinctive exhibit, and Nora’s exhibit is up next," the host asked Aaron Scott again, "What’s your opinion on the piece ’Mist Seeing Flower’?"
Aaron Scott furrowed his brows.
Deep down, he was reluctant to acknowledge Nora. However, he had to be cautious of the Biel Hall behind her.
After so contemplation, Aaron Scott said, "Not bad. After all, she’s a junior, compared to real artists in the wood carving world, there’s still a long way to go."
No praise, just being "truthful."
Live Broadcast Room:
[That’s the real grandpa.]
[Haha, does it an Nora Scott is just average? Even her own grandpa thinks she’s riding on Bernardo Quinn, Master Quinn’s coattails?]
[Old people have sharp eyes. They can see through Nora Scott’s networking, using industry elders for hype.]
[Grandpa’s certification: My granddaughter is useless beyond her connections.]
...
The host asked again: "I heard Nora Scott was the planner behind the ’Escape Room’, and she has so understanding of chanical Techniques. Did she learn this from Old Master Scott? Why didn’t you involve her in this ’Automatic Factory’ project?"
Aaron Scott showed a montary disdain, but quickly masked it, comnting coldly, "Her skill level is diocre; she may not even be able to read the blueprints. For collaboration, it’s naturally with promising youngsters like Rosa Sullivan, while Nora Scott... should just focus on drawing comics and acting."
Host: "..." That’s harsh. Is this granddaughter not his biological one?
Live Broadcast Room:
[Grandpa personally smacks her down? Can’t bear watching Nora Scott’s continuous hype, planning to rid the world of a nace?!]
[Well, Nora Scott has utterly failed this ti.]
[Drawing comics is okay, but acting may not be necessary. Old Master, maybe you should watch her films before deciding?]
[Last live stream, Rosa Sullivan PK’d Nora Scott, Nora Scott won hands down. This ti, Rosa Sullivan PK’d Nora, and Rosa won hands down. Swings and roundabouts, this plot is so interesting.]
[This grandpa is too harsh, isn’t he? Saying right before national viewers that Nora Scott can’t even read blueprints? Seems like the ’Escape Room’ planning claim is fake, confird? Nora’s image collapsed too severely this ti. Old Master, rid the world of a nace. Incredible.]
[Soon it’ll be Nora Scott’s turn, can’t bear to watch.]
[Wasn’t Nora’s networking supposed to be good? Even her own grandpa sides with Rosa Sullivan, ruining Nora’s image of good connections completely?]
...
On the other side.
"Hmph." George Carter, after observing the chanical Puppet, saw Nora Scott approaching the ’Mist Seeing Flower’ stand, snorted lightly, and deliberately provoked, "Isn’t your mouth usually very sharp and critical, why not criticize now?"
Nora Scott glanced at the chanical Puppet briefly and responded nonchalantly, "Because it’s truly excellent."
Only a fool would criticize her own work.
Seeing her fair comnt, George Carter raised an eyebrow, feeling victorious, "Able to speak human words, finally."
But the next mont, Nora Scott suddenly thought of sothing, "Within this art exhibition, it ranks second after ’Mist Seeing Flower’."
George Carter: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Audience: "..."
You must be crazy!
Live Broadcast Room:
[I declare you the strongest self-deceiver ever.]
[Self-deception is quite fitting.]
[How ignorant to say such things.]
[Does she think she’s very humorous?!]
...
Online comnts exploded again, countless sarcastic and mocking remarks rolled through the chat. If the live broadcast allowed comnts, you’d see them covering the entire screen, their density proving the audience’s overwhelming rage.
—A hide as thick as this, people across the country have never seen!
Not far away.
Frank Ford and Thomas Langley walked down the steps, overhearing Nora Scott’s words, nearly slipping together.
"Whoa?"
Frank Ford couldn’t help but curse.
"How is my sister-in-law even here?" Thomas Langley blinked.
"..."
"..."
The two exchanged a silent look.
Then, turning their heads, they saw Ryan Ford squeezing silently out of the crowd, inducing deep thoughts.
"I rember last ti my sister-in-law was this arrogant—" Frank Ford drew out his words deliberately, speaking leisurely.
Thomas Langley understood quickly, picking up the thread: "Half the academic circle in the country was calling her grandma online."
