Chapter 1061: Chapter 737: Grand Finale [08] Emily Bay Exposes Loulanel Plan, Heated Online Discussion [Part 2]

Five minutes later.

On the living room sofa.

To make up for the psychological harm caused by the lack of trust, Fátima peeled an apple as an apology to Nora Scott.

"Not eating."

Faced with the apple handed to her mouth, Nora glanced at her sideways, acting very willful.

"...Ahem." Oliver Scott was choked.

His peripheral vision flew up, and like Pedro Langley and Marcus Shaw, his eyes seemed to be on the TV, but his attention was entirely on the two sisterly figures.

They thought Fátima would be angry or would coax Nora well. Who would have thought that Fátima would collect the peeled apple, cut it into pieces with a few moves, then insert a bamboo skewer, and personally deliver it to Nora’s mouth.

At this—

Nora opened her mouth and ate it.

The three of them: "..." Quite easy to coax.

Fátima shot Nora a look that said: "Look at you."

Nora raised her chin, indicating for another piece.

Fátima: "..."

The crack initially caused by a trust crisis between the two sisterly figures was eventually mended successfully with an apple.

It became a wonderful story.

The three watched this historic moment firsthand, then each grabbed an apple, casually munching on it while watching the reality show playing on TV.

"Anthony?" Fátima noticed the first couple on the TV and raised her eyebrows.

She usually focused on current politics and military news, clueless about online affairs. Occasionally, she would hear about something from Nora, but she had no idea about the reality show recently live-streamed.

However, she knew Anthony.

She had been following Anthony and Annabelle Pinto, which was related to Alexander Vaughn and Mechanism City.

"Yes."

Nora nodded.

Thus, Nora watched the show while telling Fátima about the recording process.

Pedro Langley, Marcus Shaw, and Oliver Scott simultaneously fell silent.

They had never seen Nora so patiently explain something to someone—in most cases, she would casually instruct an informed person to explain, doing it perfunctorily.

However, Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott also overheard stories about Villains Valley and Villains Street. When they reached thrilling parts, they subconsciously exchanged a glance. But soon after, they heard about the girl’s matter, retracting their gaze, exuding a much quieter temperament.

After listening, Fátima’s brows furrowed for a moment, but she quickly accepted it.

"According to your analysis, if Anthony and Alexander Vaughn kept in touch, their relationship would be far from ordinary." Fátima leaned back, crossing her arms and legs, squinting her eyes, "With Anthony captured, isn’t he showing any reaction?"

"He probably advised Alexander Vaughn to stubbornly deny it and let the Bay Family take the blame. However, he was caught while trying to escape, there’s no doubt he’s a party to it, and Biel Hall is investigating for evidence, already having clues. Considering Alexander Vaughn’s cautious nature, he wouldn’t expose himself for a friend with a doomed fate."

Fátima: "..."

So incredibly cautious.

Again and again and again.

Comprehensively considered, no wonder so many crimes went undetected until bumping into someone like Nora, favored by the gods, who gradually exposed past crimes, now left hiding everywhere, not daring to show his head.

Fátima suspected that if Nora weren’t the "only person who could unlock Mechanism City," Alexander Vaughn would have rather sacrificed himself to eliminate Nora.

However—

"Alexander Vaughn is now hiding behind the scenes, waiting for Mechanism City to open," Fátima analyzed, "He holds off because you are useful to him. Once Mechanism City surfaces, he is highly likely to act. You are now expecting, so we must catch Alexander Vaughn before Mechanism City opens."

"I now anticipate his appearance when Mechanism City opens," Nora said confidently.

"Confident?"

"Intuition."

"..."

I don’t believe you at all.

Reaching this point, Pedro Langley also timely spoke, "For him to hold back this much from Nora, not planning to perish together, Mechanism City should be very significant to him. If Mechanism City surfaces, upon getting the information, he will likely show up."

"Yes."

Fátima slightly nodded, approving of Pedro Langley’s analysis.

However, to someone like Nora who relied on intuition, she merely tossed a back view at her.

Nora clicked her tongue lightly.

She finished the last piece of apple, then glanced at Pedro Langley.

Pedro Langley curled his lips, picked up an apple from the coffee table, and resignedly started peeling it for Nora.

While the five stayed at home, watching a reality show and chatting, the first episode of "Celebrity Couples’ Life" continued to rise in popularity online.

Higher than the live broadcast period.

The reason—

Online, because of the "Nora Scott going to the police station" incident, there were promotional accounts leading the narrative, claiming Nora "often fights" and "was once a delinquent," in all forms possible to smear her, aiming to ruin her image.

This episode was an edited version of the first week’s live broadcast.

In such an atmosphere, someone suddenly remembered the incident where "Nora Scott was approached by a group of officers," and there were even rumors of "Nora Scott being arrested."

Then, some took this narrative further—

[If you’re brave enough, reveal why Nora Scott was approached. What if she got them to help in a staged act?]

[These officers are so naive; maybe Nora Scott found a reason for that scene with them, and they weren’t aware they were being used by her?]

[If it’s confidential, it wouldn’t have been filmed in wide shots during the live broadcast. If it’s not confidential, then what’s there to hide? This sounds conflicting, increasingly looking like a staged act.]

[Feels like Nora’s persona is too much, wanting a piece of everything. She ended up confusing herself.]

[That live broadcast definitely was a staged act. The military officers might have been real, but the footage connected in the second live broadcast isn’t certain. Maybe they reached some agreement to put on this act.]

[Nora Scott, stop acting, just come clean. What could possibly be unspeakable?]

[Emmm I’m a bit looking forward to Nora Scott flipping the script this time.]

...

Due to this wave of narratives, many casual viewers were curious about what happened, eager to see if the program would edit out the military officers’ appearance.

—Unexpectedly, it wasn’t edited out.

Several clips of the officers were placed in the middle, but without detailing the process.

The edited finished product required review, and being shown means the show obtained military approval.

Feasible.

Thus, a group of rational detractors gradually fell silent.

But—

This wasn’t over.

Following the broadcast, Nora Scott posted a tweet.

[Actress Nora Scott]: Genuine honorary flags, not fabricated. [Image][Image][Image]

Netizens:

"..."

"..."

"..."

Was the delinquent persona just cleared like that?!!

Nora Scott herself, the strongest public relations!
