Chapter 867 - 564: Fake Master [02] Dashcam Revealed

Nora Scott rarely starts a live stream herself and didn’t want to trend online, but the viewers cooperated and didn’t put her on the hot search. However, once Rosa Sullivan and Julian Linfield’s conversation was out, it couldn’t be contained anymore, and within half an hour, it exploded to the top of the hot search.

The netizens had a huge gossip feast, feeling bloated and constantly joking around.

[Rosa Sullivan is being harsh on herself. Even a little attention to Nora Scott could have prevented the iconic scene from being live-streamed.]

[The persona has collapsed too hard. I truly believed there was such an untouched flower in the world, only to find it was just a packaged lie.]

[So fake. Lies told long enough become your truth, huh? She’s fooled us for so long, and even when exposed, she refuses to face reality and apologize, pretending to be a close disciple, then begging Master Linfield for mercy. She even does disgusting things like this.]

[When she left the "Reversing Life" crew, I felt sorry, but now I can only say thank heavens. With her there, "Reversing Life" would have definitely been ruined.]

...

The netizens taunted enthusiastically. Shortly after, a PR account suddenly posted on Weibo that Rosa Sullivan encountered a car accident on the way and was now rushed to the hospital for rescue, her life or death unknown.

Originally, the live stream issue had Rosa Sullivan trending very high, and now, with this sudden news and the PR accounts and bots twisting the narrative, public opinion started to change. Some sympathized with Rosa Sullivan, some cursed those who previously mocked her, and some even shifted all the blame to Nora Scott.

[Just an identity of an apprentice, who doesn’t have a bit of vanity? Should Rosa Sullivan be sentenced to death?]

[Enough already! Rosa Sullivan must have gotten into the car accident knowing she was being live-streamed. If something really happens to her, Nora Scott should pay with her life!]

[She’s just a young girl who hasn’t done anything heinously wrong, and you all verbally abuse her to death, are you still human?!]

[Keep cursing, go on, keep cursing! She’s in the hospital now; only when she’s truly gone will you start reflecting, right? Can online violence please stop?!]

...

Concerning matters of life and death, reasonable people naturally shut their mouths, not arguing with those supporting Rosa Sullivan. However, anyone daring to speak ill of Rosa Sullivan was immediately met with private messages of insults, doxxing, tormenting them as if speaking a word was a heinous crime.

Meanwhile——

After lunch, Nora Scott remembered the matter of recording the conversation between Julian Linfield and Rosa Sullivan during the live stream. Thinking this would surely stir up a storm online, she took advantage of Julian Linfield’s moment while he was making tea to check the situation online with her phone, unexpectedly stumbling into news of Rosa Sullivan’s car accident.

She clicked open the comments...

Nora Scott’s eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Driving herself into a ditch, yet has the face to blame someone else, not fearing that her guilty conscience would invite ghosts to bang on her door at midnight.

Nora Scott flicked her wrist: it seemed she hadn’t shown Rosa Sullivan her true means yet.

Flipping through the local contact numbers on the Biel Hall APP, Nora Scott dialed, hanging up after two minutes.

"What time should we go over?"

Julian Linfield brought the tea over, casually asking Nora Scott.

"Around four or five," Nora Scott replied nonchalantly, "No rush."

She had arrived a day early. Richard Carter had booked her a flight for last night, but she didn’t go. As Nora Scott knew, those engineers were supposed to arrive within yesterday and today, with the official meeting starting tomorrow. Arriving tonight would at most upset Richard Carter and others, but wouldn’t impact her or the project’s progress.

Taking a sip of tea, Nora Scott asked, "What does this project have to do with you?"

Julian Linfield replied, "No relation, just a familiar face asking if I know any talented individuals to recommend."

This matter was actually quite long to explain.

South Fletcher perished in a natural disaster.

This man was wealthy, an invisible millionaire from the South Area, but lacked the commercial profiteer’s mindset, valuing charity. More than twenty years ago, he invested in a private rescue team, and during an earthquake, while following the rescue team, he passed away due to an aftershock. After his death, all his assets were donated, but part of it was donated to the rescue team in Julian Linfield’s name.

For over twenty years, the rescue team’s leader had intermittently contacted Julian Linfield.

This project is a branch of a secret project, and someone in the secret project comes from the rescue team. On their way to Yangel, they visited Julian Linfield and conveniently asked if he knew anyone skilled in Mechanical Techniques.

Given Julian Linfield’s recommendation, he naturally valued it highly, even being surprised at Nora Scott’s involvement due to her youth, yet he still recommended Nora Scott to the leader of 1101, Ryan Ford.

Julian Linfield asked, "Is the team leader Ryan Ford?"

Nora Scott raised an eyebrow, "You know him?"

"Had dealings with the Ford Family, met him a few times." Julian Linfield nodded, adding, "He’s a bit capable but quite arrogant, dismisses others easily. If he bullies you, just tell me."

Nora Scott replied indifferently, "Won’t need to."

Julian Linfield gave him a sidelong glance.

"I have some entanglements with the Ford Family."

"What?"

Stretching her long legs out, Nora Scott leaned back against the bamboo wall. As the afternoon breeze gently brushed her face, she said casually, "I stole their heirloom."

Julian Linfield: "..." Can I still back out of this troublesome apprentice?

After a moment of thought, Julian Linfield sighed and asked, "Was it you, five years ago, seen as a thorn in the Ford Family’s side, forbidding entry into Yangel for a single step?"

"Yes," Nora Scott replied, "Although their threats are like farting hot air—I’ve been to Yangel plenty of times, never got caught once."

"..."

Julian Linfield was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Why did you steal someone’s family heirloom?" Julian asked in confusion, suspicious, "Are you short on money?"

"Nope," Nora Scott lazily replied, lifting her eyelids. "I stole it and then hid it again. It’s still in their house; they probably haven’t found it yet."

"..."

Since they all think you’ve taken it, who would still think to rummage through the house to find it?

Julian just felt a headache coming on, "Why on earth did you steal from their house?"

"Just that eldest son, what’s his name... anyway, he doesn’t look so great," Nora said casually. "He harassed me, I didn’t like it, so I taught him a lesson."

Julian looked silently at her face.

Thinking to himself, if Nora stole from the house of everyone who harassed her, the whole country wouldn’t be enough for her to steal from.

Under Julian’s deep gaze, Nora frowned, rubbed her nose, and emphasized again, "I was only twenty at the time."

Julian said, "When I was twenty, I was renowned worldwide..."

"..."

Alright, when she was twenty, she was still up to petty thievery, quarreling with those who coveted her looks, truly not achieving anything great.

"Forget it, I’ll go with you."

Julian sighed, genuinely worried about Nora’s safety.

"No need," Nora said. "Just a mere Ford Family can’t deal with me."

Julian retorted annoyed, "A strong dragon can’t suppress a local snake. The security there isn’t as good as in Fenton City."

"Young people handle young people’s matters," Nora frowned. "Bringing you along would make it seem like I constantly need someone backing me up."

"..."

Sometimes Nora’s martial world logic truly leaves people speechless.

While others would rope in parental backing, fearing their reputation isn’t strong enough, when it comes to Nora, anyone backing her up would make her feel like she’s being overshadowed.

Julian did trust Nora’s abilities; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to come and go freely in the Ford Family at twenty. Even over the years, the Ford Family couldn’t do anything about her.

Seeing that Julian still seemed a bit worried, Nora thought about it and decided to explain a bit, "Don’t worry, they don’t know my name. The only one who’s seen me is that big fool from the Ford Family. As long as I don’t run into him, it’ll be fine."

Julian said helplessly, "His name is Johan Ford."

After saying that, he added, "I don’t think he’s a fool; he’s more reliable than Ryan Ford."

"..."

Nora didn’t speak, not wanting to argue with him.

After chatting for a while, Julian asked if someone was coming to pick up Nora when it was time. Before Nora could answer, a honking sound came from outside and Nora’s phone screen lit up.

Nora glanced at her phone, stood up, and walked out.

Julian was puzzled: When the food delivery arrived, Nora was indifferent, so what kind of person would make Nora willingly go open the door?

Then—

Julian saw Nora bringing in a handsome young man.

"My husband, Pedro Langley." As soon as Nora entered, she introduced him to Julian, "Julian, my newly acknowledged mentor."

Pedro Langley curved his lips, "Hello, Master."

Julian: "..." Damn, flaunting your love from afar wasn’t enough, and now you dare bring him here in front of me to show off your love?!

"Master, now that you have taken Nora as a student, it will require your patience. Here’s a little token of appreciation from me..."

Pedro Langley spoke very politely.

Then, he took out a box of tea.

Julian’s hobbies could be counted on one hand, but tea was definitely one of them.

As soon as Pedro took out the gift, Julian’s eyes lit up, instantly sweeping away any hostility towards Pedro.

Sensible!!!

That afternoon, the online discourse was dominated by Rosa Sullivan’s hired influencers and supporters, portraying her as a victim and a weakling, overshadowing her shameful deeds of fabricating lies and refusing to admit her mistakes.

However, in the evening, a one-minute dashcam video suddenly took the internet by storm.
