Chapter 722: Chapter 457: Online Lovers Meet After Two Years—So Excited

"Summer" film set.

It wasn’t her turn to film yet, so Luna Durant clutched the script in one hand and her phone in the other. She glanced at her lines, then at her phone, restlessly awaiting Pedro Langley’s reply.

But, there was still no message.

"Miss Luna."

The assistant called back, pursed her lips and, with a pale face, explained to Luna Durant, "The butler said you can take back what you sent, but those at home..."

Pausing, the assistant, under Luna Durant’s suddenly changing gaze, braced herself and whispered, "No way."

"Why not?" Luna Durant abruptly stood up, her entire face instantly darkening, "The family’s goal...isn’t those few mechanical pieces! They’re useless anyway, aren’t they just ornaments at home?"

"They are still useful." The assistant quietly said, glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention before continuing, "Master Sliver’s works are now invaluable, the existing ones can be used to curry favor."

Luna Durant was furious, "Can’t they be used to win over Pedro Langley?"

"..."

The assistant lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Pedro Langley is in the tech industry, while the Durant family needs a family of mechanical techniques; the two are worlds apart, so winning favor is pointless.

However—

Seeing Luna Durant’s grim expression, the assistant suggested, "Miss Luna, you could discuss with the butler and the eldest lady. Mr. Langley is with Victor Technology, and Victor Technology might have connections with Master Sliver. By getting close to Mr. Langley, you might be able to investigate Master Sliver’s connections."

"Is that possible?"

Luna Durant furrowed her brow, remembering how Pedro Langley didn’t seem very interested in that mechanical eagle, and felt she had no confidence.

The assistant said, "Regardless of whether it’s possible or not, isn’t your goal to obtain Master Sliver’s mechanical work for Mr. Langley..."

Right!

Luna Durant’s eyes brightened.

She thrust the script into the assistant’s arms and said, "I’ll go give my sister a call, let me know when the filming starts."

"Yes."

The assistant replied obediently.

The relationship had to be kept secret, and Nora Scott didn’t want to exchange sneaky glances with Pedro Langley on set, so she simply chose not to see him, kicking him out before arriving at the set.

However, as soon as she finished filming, she saw Pedro Langley and Katherine Collins standing in the crowd, whispering to each other about something that occasionally drew glances from those around them.

"Nora."

She walked out from the crowd, initially heading straight for Pedro Langley and Katherine Collins, when she suddenly heard someone call out.

Nora Scott turned her head and saw Humphrey Jennings standing not far away, a cigarette unlit in his mouth, and carrying a food box.

Soy pudding!

Her eyes lit up, and Nora Scott immediately abandoned her unruly boyfriend and strode towards Humphrey Jennings.

Everyone: Oh, it’s the gaze of someone deeply in love when seeing her boyfriend...

???

Originally, they thought Nora Scott’s boyfriend was someone like Pedro Langley, a handsome and charming CEO, but it turned out to be an extraordinarily masculine, rugged man who dressed very down-to-earth...

"Oh, I really like this type! This man looks wild as hell!"

"Civilized! Don’t even think about it, this kind of rugged wild man is rare as gold in our circle."

"I noticed him before, even tried to flirt, but he ignored me. Is he delivering lunch for Nora Scott? How could a rugged guy be so considerate to deliver lunch, isn’t that a bit too caring?"

...

A few girls gathered together chattering, eyes gleaming, seizing any gossip to chat away, until it all started to sound like the truth even to themselves.

"Really?"

Nora Scott went over and took the food box.

Seeing her reaction, Humphrey Jennings curved his lips and nodded, "Yes."

Opening the first layer, Nora Scott peeked through the gap, then raised an eyebrow at Humphrey Jennings, "Just one serving?"

"Theirs is with Benjamin Durant." Humphrey Jennings replied, adding, "He’s in the car, staying cool, and will be over soon."

"Alright then." Nora Scott nodded, glancing back to see Katherine Collins and Pedro Langley approaching, she raised an eyebrow and said to Humphrey Jennings, "Let’s go."

Looking at her in surprise, Humphrey Jennings glanced towards Katherine Collins and Pedro Langley with suspicion in his heart: Nora Scott used to protect Pedro Langley like her own, why is she ignoring it now?

He murmured "Mm," and walked a distance with Nora Scott.

Suddenly he asked, "Did you have a fight?"

"No," Nora Scott found an empty classroom, glanced inside, then carried the food box in, speaking calmly, "I need to ask you something, and it’s not convenient for them to hear."

"Oh."

Humphrey Jennings rubbed a cigarette between his fingers lightly, his eyelids drooping slightly, then he raised them again.
