Chapter 264 - 180: Mrs. Chapman Posts on Moments, Loughton Gets Angry [Third Update]

"Underworld?"

Nora Scott rolled her eyes, "Martial World."

"..."

Henry Chapman remained silent.

Anyway, in his view, it was almost the same thing.

Seeing he didn’t speak, Nora continued, "We don’t do anything illegal."

"...Oh."

Henry responded, giving her a bit of face.

Nora snorted coldly.

After a brief pause, Henry suddenly asked, "Where’s that friend of yours now?"

Nora answered, "At my place, he’s coming over for dinner tonight."

Henry said, "Then let’s go to your place."

With just a few words, the plan was set.

Nora had no objections.

Five years ago, Henry was filming a movie in Anchel. Nora had just arrived in Anchel, struggling to find her footing, and was short on money. The crew asked her to play a minor role for a few minutes, and under life’s pressure, she agreed.

She met Henry on the set.

At first, neither could stand the other.

Henry disliked her poor acting skills, needing many takes for a simple scene. Later, seeing that she wasn’t just going through the motions but was genuinely trying her best, though her ability didn’t allow her to excel, he gradually changed his view—

To be precise, he sympathized.

Nora found him too immersed in the role, with the same demeanor both on and off set, almost like he was the character himself, and he was usually silent, not speaking to anyone. Later, she discovered that as a famous star, he had no manager or assistant, surviving on his own in the crew, often forgetting to eat, which slowly changed her attitude—

To be precise, she pitied him.

Besides, Nora only shot for a few days, just cared for him over a few meals, not really familiar. Their real familiarity began after the movie finished, when Henry had a car accident.

At that time, Henry had spent a high price to acquire an antique object, intending to give it to Mr. Chapman. But somehow, word got out, and he was targeted by a group of thieves, who stopped him on an abandoned highway and directly robbed him.

During the chase, Henry had a car accident, the antique was stolen, and he was left dying in the car.

Coincidentally, Nora was on a business, driving by, saw and called for an ambulance, preventing Henry from dying in the car.

Since then, Henry developed a fear of driving, and his relationship with Nora gradually grew closer.

Langley Residence.

As soon as Pedro Langley stepped in, he received two eye rolls from Flora Loughton, with a look that conveyed a sense of "disappointing expectations."

Pedro instinctively sensed something was off.

"Son, come over, sit."

Elegantly sitting on the sofa, Flora kept her posture, patted the seat next to her, her tone chilling.

Sweeping his gaze, Pedro glanced at his father, Marsh Langley, sipping tea on the bench with a puzzled look.

Marsh felt the gaze but pretended not to see it, continuing to enjoy his tea.

"..."

Pedro silently walked over and sat next to Flora.

Picking up the teacup, Flora took a sip and softly spoke, "What’s going on with you and Henry?"

"What?"

Pedro was momentarily confused.

"I saw students in the group chat saying he’s defending you online, and some are shipping you two as a couple, hoping you’ll come out," Flora said leisurely, then asked, "Do you two get along well?"

Beside them, Marsh Langley, when he heard "couple" had no reaction, but hearing "come out," nearly choked on his tea.

He gave Pedro a meaningful look, as if saying, "Son, you’ve finally gone astray."

Pedro’s mouth twitched.

Pedro answered truthfully, "Not well."

Flora asked again, "So does he want to compete fairly with you?"

?

A confused Pedro was at a loss.

Luckily, Flora didn’t continue to play word games with him, picked up her phone, pulled up a social media post, and showed it to Pedro, "His mother posted about you, a harmonious family of three. Almost as if the marriage is already set."

Taking the phone, Pedro opened the image.

It was a group photo. An elegant, aristocratic lady stood in the middle, with Henry and Nora on either side.

The text didn’t mention "family of three," only talked about meeting a friend’s daughter, praising her for being polite and sensible, saying she liked her very much.

Reading between the lines, it was all in favor of Nora.

Recently, the news of Nora being brought home has spread gradually, with mostly negative evaluations about her. Her aunt, Ouyang Qiu, played a role in this. And this post from Mrs. Chapman seemed to negate those rumors one by one.

"They’ve met the parents, don’t you have any thoughts?" Flora was displeased, clearly dissatisfied with Pedro’s recent behavior.

Pedro raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Mom, their parents took the initiative, why haven’t you done anything?"
