Chapter 1054: Chapter 730: Grand Finale [01] Three Years of Pregnancy Brain

Villains Valley.

Twice a week for supplies.

The person reporting the news was only responsible for delivery; loading and unloading weren’t even his jobs.

As for the specific locations of the unloading and the details of the cargo, they actually knew nothing.

"How coincidental."

Nora Scott squinted her eyes slightly.

Although it’s called "Villains Valley", did these people really take it as a no-man’s-land?

After a pause, Nora said, "Look into it."

"Yes."

Bruce responded.

After hanging up the phone again, Nora lay back on the chair, resting her chin on one hand, but was wide awake.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Nora’s gaze fell on Pedro Langley, "Do you think it’s a bit too coincidental?"

"It is a bit," Pedro nodded slightly, "But we’ll find out soon."

Nora responded with a "Hmm."

*

Nora and Pedro waited in the car until midnight.

To pass the time, Nora video-chatted with Hardy Rivers about Mechanism City on her phone, finding out that Hardy was progressing rapidly and expected to complete the overall model by the end of June.

Hardy asked, "What about the entrance map?"

Turning her head, Nora stared at Pedro, "What about the entrance map?"

Pedro: "..." What about Michael Quinn?

He responded with silence.

Nora clicked her tongue, expressing a "You’re too unreliable" sentiment from head to toe, then glanced at the phone video, "If I don’t see Michael’s map by the end of June, I’ll have Biel Hall find it."

"Daniel Ford can help too," Hardy nodded.

Nora: "..." You need not underestimate Biel Hall’s capabilities.

...

In the dead of night, Henry Chapman and the driver got into the car.

"What’s the situation?" Closing the video, Nora looked up at Henry, who sat in the passenger seat.

"Out of danger."

"Oh."

Henry asked, "Anything on your side?"

"Wait until tomorrow."

Nora didn’t elaborate.

There was no need for details now, as once the results were out, Henry would understand everything.

Henry nodded slightly, feeling a bit tired, and leaned back to rest.

Pedro instructed the driver to drive back.

The ride was silent.

But—

As soon as they arrived at the villa’s bedroom, Nora contacted the tech department at Biel Hall headquarters, instructing them to hack into the hospital’s surveillance, delete all footage involving the little girl, the driver, Pedro Langley, and Henry Chapman to prevent any unexpected incidents.

At the same time, she called Boss Alex to expedite the hospitalization procedures for the little girl, preventing the hospital from discovering any discrepancies and alerting the police, which could startle the snake.

"How long since she was sent to the hospital?" Boss Alex asked.

Nora reported a time.

"...and you only just reacted?" Boss Alex was stunned, surprised at Nora’s decreasing alertness and reaction speed.

"Pregnancy dulls the brain for three years."

Nora confidently used the all-mighty excuse.

"..."

Boss Alex was speechless.

"I’ll handle it as quickly as possible." Boss Alex sighed, having no choice but to say, "Worry less and rest earlier."

"Got it."

Finishing her response, Nora hung up the call.

Boss Alex: "..." Didn’t mean you should rest immediately!

Tengfe Martial Arts School.

Backyard.

"Nora Scott is living quite comfortably now." Anthony Santos stood under a tree, back to the light, holding a phone, lightly frowning, "I don’t really care to know Mechanism City’s secret. She’s hurt you to this extent, I can seize this opportunity to make her disappear in Villains Valley."

"No need," came Alexander Vaughn’s voice from the phone.

"Are you that sure she can open Mechanism City?"

"If there’s only one person in the world who can open Mechanism City, it can only be her," Alexander said indifferently.

"So you’re just putting up with it?"

Anthony gritted his teeth, veins on his forehead throbbing.

"Yes."

"You!"

Anthony was so angry he didn’t know what to do.

"Do not touch her," Alexander’s voice carried a hidden warning.

"You’re too obsessed."

"..."

Alexander said nothing.

And so Anthony fell silent too.

He was the pampered young master of the Santos Family, an illegitimate child, yet grew up on a farm until he was eight. When taken back to the Santos Family, no one looked up to him; his initial rebellion and struggle only met with doubled retaliation and disdain.

Alexander Vaughn was the one who grew up with him in the countryside.

In middle school, they reconnected, with Alexander becoming his advisor, helping him establish himself firmly within the Santos Family to the point where no one could shake his position now.

He didn’t actually know Alexander Vaughn very well.

But, without a doubt, Alexander had been the life-saving benefactor who pulled him out of the mire.

He trusted no one but Alexander, depended on no one but Alexander.

He treated Alexander as his own brother.

Seeing Alexander now, driven into hiding by Nora, even pushing away the woman he loved with his own hands... wanting to help Alexander but being warned not to act against Nora, Anthony felt utter hatred towards her.

These days, while outwardly bearing and tolerating Nora, internally he longed to see her suffer a thousand cuts.

"I heard you lost a shipment?" Alexander asked suddenly.

"Yeah."

The topic shift caught Anthony off guard, to which he casually responded.

He hadn’t taken it very seriously.

So, he casually chatted with Alexander about it.

"A whole day and night, and you still didn’t find them?" Alexander’s tone suddenly became serious.

"Apparently not."

At least, Mr. Bay hadn’t mentioned finding the people.

Pausing, Anthony continued, "It seems someone was found in the afternoon, but when they tried to catch them, someone helped, and they got away."

"Who?" Alexander asked coldly.

"Didn’t ask."

"...," Alexander pondered for a second, then said, "You need to get your unreliable father-in-law to act. Nora has a lucky buff; a slight slip-up, and she’ll grab your weak spot. Better be cautious."

"Is she really that chosen one?"

"Yes."

Alexander answered firmly.

Anthony: "..."
