Chapter 913: Chapter 606: Master Sliver [End] A Beautiful Accident After All [12 Updates]

As soon as it got dark, Nora Scott received news from two sources.

The first was from Ryan Ford.

Richard Carter and Daniela Esteves were successfully rescued. They were being held at a local place where Daniela was under surveillance. Those who went down the other four roads were just a decoy and are now being tracked.

All individuals were captured.

At the same time, a large amount of video footage was found, all monitoring Daniela. Many of her actions were simply jaw-dropping.

Daniela admitted to impersonating Master Sliver, and since this involves national construction projects, she will be held legally accountable in due time.

The second came from Biel Hall and Johan Ford.

Firstly, they successfully assisted the police in wiping out all the hideouts. If there wasn’t a mistake in the intelligence, there should be no omissions.

Secondly, there was no trace of Alexander Vaughn. However, it was learned from the leader of one hideout that Alexander Vaughn was there last night but didn’t stay long before leaving.

Nora Scott informed Pedro Langley of this intelligence one by one.

"He still got away."

Even though she didn’t have high hopes, Nora Scott was still a bit peeved.

Is Alexander Vaughn a slippery eel?

"You’ve destroyed his hideout; it’s just him left now, so we’re not afraid," Pedro chuckled, "However, the problem now is, you two have definitely made enemies... whether you’re Master Sliver or not."

Nora raised an eyebrow, "Am I afraid of making enemies with him?"

Speaking of grudges, Alexander Vaughn had long made one with her. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Now, it’s just been brought to light.

Seeing her arrogant expression, Pedro knew saying more was pointless and just said, "Let Evelyn Winter come back."

"Okay."

Nora agreed.

Having Evelyn in hiding was simply to protect her safety, and incidentally to let Alexander Vaughn or Robert Durant continue their "misunderstanding." Now that Nora herself is out in the open, the notion that Evelyn is Master Sliver is naturally debunked, so there’s no need for her to stay in the northwest anymore.

After a pause, Nora took out her phone to send a message and continued, "It’s your birthday in two days, I told Ryan Ford that I’d not be back anymore, and if there are any issues, we’ll have video conferences."

She never planned on following this project from start to finish.

The plans she provided couldn’t possibly be perfect in one go, there would definitely be details needing modification. However, with or without her, it didn’t really matter. If there really were problems, they could be solved online.

She wasn’t a specialist or scholar, couldn’t calm her mind for research. She could follow a project for a week or two, but doing so for a long time would drive her insane.

The rest will be left to the professionals.

"Sure."

Pedro was more than happy to oblige.

...

Nora talked about the "leaving and dealing with things via video conference" over the phone with Ryan Ford.

Over the phone, Ryan wasn’t as arrogant and condescending, so Nora didn’t take the opportunity to jab at his sore spots, instead, they calmly talked for a while and resolved the issues properly.

Essentially—

They needed to go to a meeting in the next two days to help resolve some misunderstood issues.

Afterward, they had to have fixed times for meetings and couldn’t have people who were frequently hard to reach.

...

Such matters.

Problems, as long as one is willing to negotiate quietly, always have a solution.

This was a rare phone call that didn’t escalate into an argument.

*

In the evening.

With everything temporarily settled, Nora Scott took a break from her handiwork and sat around with Pedro Langley, Thomas Langley, and Frank Ford in the courtyard, having a barbecue.

The ingredients and tools were prepared by Butler Loxley, and they only needed to cook.

Jack Carter, whose undercover mission had ended, returned that evening to help them out.

"By the way, I heard something major happened with the Scott family," Thomas Langley said while turning over the skewers in front of the bonfire, looking at Nora with a hint of concern, "Sister-in-law, does it affect you?"

"What?" Nora was puzzled.

Thomas Langley replied, "Ethan Scott took over the Scott family’s antique business. Just a few days ago, he raised some funds to buy a batch of antiques, hoping to use them to revive the Scott family’s business, but it turned out they’re all fake."

"..."

Nora casually glanced at Pedro.

Still hasn’t told Thomas that it was your own brother pulling the strings all along.

Retracting her gaze, Nora calmly asked, "What does that have to do with me?"

"The Scott family is about to declare bankruptcy and is currently seeking Ernesto Woods for help," Thomas’s inside information was quite up-to-date, "They’re also willing to publicly acknowledge you as part of the Scott family."

"Oh," Nora nodded and said, "Ernesto Woods won’t agree."

Ernesto Woods is stubborn.

Having already declared separation from the Scott family and having given them chances repeatedly in the past, it was now impossible for him to offer help. At most, he would ensure they would live without worry after bankruptcy.
