Chapter 929: Chapter 618: Art Exhibition [12] Marcus Shaw: I’m Not Mute

Parker Shaw had been investigating the Loulanel Plan, long before he got together with Evelyn Easton.

It’s different from what Owen said.

Parker Shaw didn’t suddenly learn about the Loulanel Plan and become interested in it; rather, he is a descendant of one of its participants.

That participant was Parker Shaw’s father, who was also Marcus Shaw’s grandfather.

Marcus’s grandfather passed away early, leaving behind notes that Parker Shaw discovered. The material contains portions of the notes, roughly recalling some fragmented records of the Loulanel Plan, not very coherent, and Biel Hall could only find this much.

Afterward, Parker Shaw began his investigation through these notes, gradually trying to uncover the truth of the Loulanel Plan.

He considers it a great masterpiece like magic in human history. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The other information is about Parker Shaw’s whereabouts these years and some people he found. The workload is enormous, but Parker Shaw didn’t find much useful information, all of which has been summarized and bundled for Marcus Shaw.

"Have you finished reading?"

Boss Alex suddenly called.

"Yes."

"There’s one more thing I forgot to mention; I think it’d be better to tell you directly." Boss Alex said, "In other words, I think you should tell your sister."

"You go first."

"We tracked down the person who killed your dad; they belong to a power from the northwest. It’s an independent force, almost annihilated now. According to clues, there’s some connection with Robert Durant. Specifically, we’ll continue investigating. But this time it’s because of the entanglement between your sister and Robert Durant."

"Robert Durant?"

Marcus Shaw knew this name well.

The scapegoat of the golden cup incident.

The one who kidnapped Owen was his eldest daughter.

Occasionally hearing Nora and the others mention, it seems quite a few things are related to Robert Durant. He counts as one of Nora’s current "adversaries."

"Yes. You should have some understanding." Boss Alex said, "If you don’t want to, I can help you conceal the matter about your dad. As for others, it depends on what she wants to know."

"..."

Isn’t it a bit too indulgent to just tell her whatever she wants to know?

Marcus Shaw thought to himself, then said, "I’ll think about it," and hung up the phone.

*

"Marcus!"

After putting down the phone, a sudden youthful voice made Marcus Shaw’s eyebrows twitch.

He looked down to discover that Andrew Hughes, who was originally playing with hard paper behind him, had somehow come over, now staring at him seriously with round eyes.

"What’s up?"

Marcus Shaw frowned, putting his hand on his head to push him back a step, keeping an appropriate distance.

"Are you hiding something from Nora?"

Picking up bits and pieces, Andrew Hughes analyzed and deduced an almost accurate answer.

"..."

Marcus Shaw didn’t want to entertain him.

Andrew Hughes was relentless, "Marcus, you can’t hide things from Nora, you’re still a minor. Being candid with Nora will help you build your relationship."

"..."

"Marcus!"

Andrew Hughes shouted again, emphasizing his tone.

"Got it." Marcus Shaw pushed him aside, looked him up and down, and asked, "Haven’t made any friends yet?"

"Mom said once I’m at the new kindergarten I’ll make friends." Andrew Hughes tried to save face.

"That’s a future thing."

Marcus Shaw nonchalantly punctured Andrew Hughes’s embarrassing state.

"..."

Andrew Hughes was angry.

He decided to give Marcus Shaw a three-minute silent treatment.

*

Three minutes later, Marcus Shaw put down the pen and got up, leaving the bedroom.

Focused on making the mechanism model, Andrew Hughes heard the noise, glanced secretly, and noticed Marcus Shaw’s back disappearing through the door crack, finally relaxing his tense brows.

With a relieved heart, Andrew Hughes concentrated on model making.

...

Marcus Shaw found Nora Scott and Oliver on the first floor.

The siblings were playing console games.

One controller each, sitting in front of the TV, enjoying themselves—except they were dying quite miserably in the game.

"Brother! Would you like to join?"

Seeing Marcus Shaw out of the corner of his eye, Oliver enthusiastically invited him.

After half a year of gaming experience, Oliver calmly accepted that he’s a "novice gamer," no matter how clumsy his operations are, he can peacefully accept it. Moreover, he can take for granted Marcus Shaw’s help as a human cheat.

Marcus Shaw glanced at him, diverted his gaze, "Busy."

"Oh." Oliver responded, before Marcus Shaw could come up with an excuse, he proactively told Nora, "Sister, brother is looking for you."

Marcus Shaw: "..." It’s not like I’m mute.

Nora: "..." Is he mute?

The matter wasn’t urgent; Nora waited until she lost this round, then stopped the game, patted her clothes, looked at Marcus Shaw, and moved towards the sofa.

"Talk."

"Does it say ’I have something to discuss’ on my face?" Marcus Shaw’s expression was a bit sour, unable to understand why Nora and Oliver saw through him at a glance.

Nora raised an eyebrow, retorting, "Were you going to ask me what’s for dinner?"

Marcus Shaw: "..."

Marcus Shaw was completely unaware that when he had nothing to do, he’d rather program or play games than actively seek out people. When he came to find someone, it must be for a reason.

After living with him for so long, not only Oliver but also Nora had him pegged.

After thinking for a moment, Marcus Shaw sat down beside him.

Because Oliver had already heard from Owen about Parker Shaw’s matter, Marcus Shaw didn’t avoid Oliver and shared the information Owen had told him and the materials he just received, word for word with Nora.

——If this were only about Parker Shaw, Marcus Shaw might not necessarily tell Nora. Because Parker Shaw has nothing to do with Nora, he still needs to avoid the intervening elements of Evelyn Easton.

——However, if this matter involves Nora, perhaps it could even help her, Marcus Shaw doesn’t mind letting Nora know about his father’s past.
