Chapter 904 - 598: Master Sliver [07] Master Pedro: Seeing Thomas Langley Annoyed Makes Me Happy [Update 4]

The haters rarely get hold of Nora Scott’s scandals, and they were ready for a fight. Then Nora Scott posted a response on Weibo, and damn, was she arrogant. They rushed in as if charged with adrenaline.

[What groundbreaking masterpiece did you create that even professors can’t understand?!]

[Have some decency! Fans flatter you for being omnipotent, and you actually believe you are!]

[Still dreaming, thinking the world revolves around you?]

...

Bla bla bla.

This isn’t even the worst of it; there are also a bunch of unbearable comments and private messages directly attacking Nora Scott personally.

Nora Scott didn’t even look at them, just threw her phone aside after posting, and continued with her woodworking.

Frank Ford scrolled to her latest Weibo and inhaled sharply, nearly biting his tongue.

"Master Pedro, aren’t you going to do something?" Frank asked Pedro Langley incredulously as he stayed idle.

Pedro Langley asked, "Didn’t you see her fans have gone silent?"

"Huh?"

Frank was bewildered.

"They’re waiting for her to turn the tables." Pedro said nonchalantly, "No need to bother."

"It’s come to this, how can it turn around?" Frank really couldn’t understand their approach.

They all seem of sound mind, why push themselves to the edge?!

Back when Katherine Collins was acting, Frank followed the entertainment world. The celebrities were cautious with their words, never talking recklessly. Katherine herself was like that, every statement made had been carefully considered, ensuring no flaws or that it’s beneficial to herself.

Who would dig their own grave like this?

He’s only been in grad school for a couple of years, how has the entertainment industry become so unfamiliar to him...

Pedro Langley was indifferent, "You’ll understand in the future."

He had already messaged Nathan Salt to keep an eye on the discourse, making sure the haters don’t take things too far. As for Nora Scott’s matter, it doesn’t require handling, just wait for the right moment.

— The experts can’t understand it now, doesn’t mean they’ll never understand it.

Moreover, judging by Nora Scott’s behavior today, she’s asking for trouble, the experts are so mad their faces have turned green. Finding an outlet to vent, banding together to criticize her online is actually a good thing. — Pedro Langley is truly worried they’ll get so worked up they’d give themselves a heart attack.

After all, some of them are quite old, maybe some have high blood pressure, heart disease or similar issues.

"... "

Frank hesitated for a while, and ultimately decided not to get involved.

The world seems to have really changed.

Thomas Langley originally intended to spectate, but seeing the involved parties so calm, coupled with Daniela Esteves reaching out to him on WeChat, made him curious. So he decided to set aside the matter and chat with her.

*

The online discourse continued to ferment because of Nora Scott’s latest Weibo.

The professors were stirred up, going to her comment section to criticize and claim her drawings were nonsense.

Nora Scott, being a top star in both the entertainment and cartoon worlds, now clashing with the academic realm has ignited a spectacular collision, keeping netizens fervently munching on popcorn. Even those who usually don’t follow entertainment news, not knowing who Nora Scott is, have come to take a bite of the juicy gossip.

Nora Scott didn’t respond anymore.

Nonetheless, she still dominated the public scene, blasting her presence everywhere.

...

That afternoon, Nora Scott found flipping between drawing and crafting monotonous. After a nap, she went to Pedro Langley, requesting to view Daniela Esteves’ surveillance videos for amusement.

Pedro Langley handed her the laptop directly, "The edited videos, they all have content."

The surveillance was monitored by someone Pedro asked to do it. If there’s no content, they naturally ignore it. If there is, they summarize it with text and send Pedro a package, convenient for him to check when interested, to avoid missing any details.

"Oh."

Nora picked up the laptop, sat on a nearby tatami mat, casually tucked a pillow in her arms, elbows leaning against it.

She opened the laptop, found the folder, browsed through various detailed categories, and clicked one casually.

"Nora Scott? She’s just a fabricated persona, with a pretty face but no talent, big boobs but clueless... Huh, not even sure if her boobs are that big."

In the video, Daniela Esteves was sending a voice message, her expression somewhat twisted.

Nora paused, furrowing her brow, complaining to Pedro Langley, "Damn, she’s attacking me like this?"

"Who told you to open this folder?" Pedro Langley’s brow twitched, half amused, half annoyed.

"Filename: Miss Scott·Defamation. Isn’t it meant for me to see?" Nora replied irritably.

"... You’re interested in this, why not go online?"

"That’s boring over there."

Nora pressed the enter key to continue the video.

Daniela Esteves truly is a marvel.

Privately dissing Nora Scott has become her routine.

Though it indirectly proves Nora Scott’s fame is genuinely significant, tons of people seek Daniela out for gossip about her. Just from the occasional mentions by Daniela, there are at least seven or eight.

Every time she brings up Nora Scott to a friend, Daniela is thoroughly committed to being a hater, not sparing a single compliment.

Attacking looks: "Where’s the beauty they talk about online? Just look ordinarily pretty, don’t set too high expectations."

Nora Scott: "Is she blind?"

Pedro Langley: "Blind."

Attacking figure: "Come on, my body’s better than hers. I suspect she wears lifts, probably not even 170 cm tall."

Nora Scott: "She’s clearly short as a three-tier cripple."

Pedro Langley: "Yeah, three-tier cripple."

Attacking taste: "Her outfits? Why emulate her, nothing but relying on a decent figure. Her personal style is indescribable, completely lacks femininity."

Nora Scott: "I’ll go take fashion covers and brand endorsements."

Pedro Langley: "Seriously?"

Nora Scott: "... Oh, just saying for fun."

Pedro Langley: "..."

...

Besides, Daniela also shared Nora Scott throwing her clothes and accessories; forcing her out of the room; disregarding elders, having a dismissive attitude towards experts, bluntly stating they aren’t cooperative; no rules exploiting Pedro Langley’s backing... etc., told everything meticulously to friends.

And, she told to everyone.

Every version varies greatly, each more severe than the last.

Nora Scott seemed to have witnessed a "birth of rumors"... When versions from a single person’s mouth differ, can you expect the passing of hearsay to get close to the truth? That’s wishful thinking.

In short, Daniela is truly despicable and dumb, absolutely unlikable.

However, her public image is quite well crafted.

"Surely he wouldn’t get with her just because she’s Master Sliver, right?" Supporting her chin with one hand, Nora clicked into another folder, browsing casually.

Pedro Langley assured, "He wouldn’t."

Nora doubted, "Really?"

Thomas has been around for a few days, originally planned to go out with Pedro and Nora. But starting the following day, he kept running out. Either he actively sought Daniela or was sought by her, spending all day together. Those who know are aware they’re discussing academics, those who don’t might think they’re having a romance.

Moreover, Daniela likely harbors some intention.

"Yeah."

Pedro replied casually.

At this moment, Nora clicked open another video.

In the video, Daniela sat cross-legged on a bed, applying a face mask, talking on the phone.

"Right, a rich second-generation, keeps pestering me, can’t get rid of him, drives me nuts."

"Do you know Pedro Langley of Victor Technology and Fernwood Entertainment? The rich boy is his brother, biological."

"Looks alright, decent body."

"Why be with him, aren’t there enough good dogs chasing me? Makes it seem like I’m interested in him."

...

Nora felt physically uncomfortable, closing the video after a minute.

Then, hearing Pedro moving, he stopped his current work, turned around, watched Nora, very casually said, "If they end up together, I’ll send the video to Thomas."

Nora was taken aback, "Why not send it now?"

"Thinking of how annoyed he’ll be in the future makes me happy."

Nora: "..." Boss Pedro, that’s your own brother.

Nora didn’t bear ill will towards Thomas, considering whether to say something to him, when the door was knocked.

Knock knock knock.

Then, Thomas’s voice came: "Pedro, sis-in-law, are you there?"

"Here."

Nora replied.

The door wasn’t locked, hearing her voice, Thomas pushed the door which opened with ease.

He slightly poked his head in, smiling eyes looking at them, "I brought Miss Esteves back. Sis-in-law, you’ve collected so many of Master Sliver’s works, should be quite interested in her. Want to meet and chat properly?"

Nora: "..."

She silently closed the laptop.

Boss Pedro was right, the innocent brother deserved a little trouble.
