Chapter 582: Chapter 350: Marcus Shaw Didn’t Tell You? I’m Her Sister [Part 2]

The reason for specifically seeking out Humphrey Jennings was actually to exchange information.

At the same time, it was also a subtle reminder.

Humphrey Jennings has a rather harsh personality, holding a grudge over matters concerning his sister, and coupled with some societal and media remarks, he finds it difficult to trust anyone or any institution outside of himself.

So he has always been investigating secretly on his own.

There are many clues in his hands, but Humphrey Jennings would not actively share them with Nora Scott.

— Just like Benjamin Durant, who basically stays glued to Humphrey Jennings every day, yet Benjamin knows nothing about this. Nora estimates that if she hadn’t accidentally discovered and investigated this matter, Humphrey Jennings probably wouldn’t have confessed it to her.

Humphrey Jennings only trusts himself.

Nora Scott is different from him; she always has a group of trustworthy people she can completely let things go with.

Moreover, though she seems carefree, she’s sufficiently alert and capable, so those who can deceive her are very few.

Perhaps it’s difficult to apply in today’s society, but there’s a strange phenomenon with her—

She trusts others, and others trust her.

For this reason, her sources of information are all very official and accurate. Therefore, she would remind Humphrey Jennings to wait this month and not make any impulsive moves to avoid disrupting plans on the other side.

Humphrey Jennings understood what she meant, gave her a glance, looking rather helpless.

"This meal’s on me," Nora Scott immediately said.

Humphrey Jennings chuckled, took a bite of ramen, and said, "How about two more side dishes?"

Nora Scott also laughed, feeling quite lavish, "Order whatever you like."

However—

Seeing how pretty Nora Scott was, the shop offered the two side dishes for free.

Nora Scott was used to it.

Humphrey Jennings was silent.

The two got back into the car.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Humphrey Jennings fastened his seat belt consciously and suddenly asked, "Are you free this afternoon?"

Nora Scott instinctively asked back, "Why, what’s up?"

Humphrey Jennings hesitated. He originally wanted to say that Benjamin had found an interesting place and could take her to have fun, but considering she was currently dating some young stud, it’s better not to say more to avoid misunderstandings.

Upon thinking of this, he said, "That kid Benjamin has developed some new dishes." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After considering, Nora Scott said, "Then next time."

"You have plans?"

"Kind of," Nora Scott raised her eyebrows and laughed, "I’m going to pick up two kids later."

"Hmm."

Humphrey Jennings didn’t insist.

Nora Scott dropped Humphrey Jennings back at the barbecue joint.

And casually chatted a bit with Henry Chapman.

Henry Chapman leaned against the doorway, looking like a worried owner with no business. He furrowed his brows as he observed Nora Scott for a bit and asked, "Have you read the script in these recent days?"

"Yes."

Having completely forgotten to bring the script out, Nora Scott nonetheless answered without any change in expression, appearing calm and composed, as if she spent all her spare time on the script rather than—spending long hours on the phone with Pedro Langley and having a romance.

Henry Chapman looked at her half-believingly.

"Have you memorized all the lines?" Henry Chapman wanted to test her.

However, self-aware Nora Scott didn’t fall into the trap, quickly replying, "No."

Henry Chapman: "..."

You really are unapologetic.

He had given her the script a few months in advance, and with a month left until filming, she still hadn’t memorized the lines.

When it comes to Henry Chapman’s area of expertise, Nora Scott is slightly apprehensive. After some thought, she quickly added, "I’m researching the character."

His tightly knit brows relaxed a bit as Henry Chapman asked doubtfully, "Did you gain any insights?"

"She’s not a psychopath."

"..."

I had already told you so.

"I understand her motive for murder and the psychological evolution process."

Henry Chapman looked at her expressionlessly, "Explain."

Nora Scott was taken aback, "Now?"

"Or else?" Henry Chapman frowned, "Are you very busy?"

"She has something." Humphrey Jennings stepped in to mediate just in time.

Nora Scott quickly followed up, "Yes, I have something."

"..."

For the sake of Humphrey Jennings’s good cooking skills, he endured it.

With Humphrey Jennings’s assistance, Nora Scott managed to escape Henry Chapman’s "spontaneous quiz" and wanted to take the opportunity to leave.

"Wait—"

Henry Chapman called after Nora Scott.

Nora Scott turned around wearily, "What?"

"The female lead for ’Reversing Life’ is confirmed as that newcomer, did I tell you?"

"...Who?"

Nora Scott thought for a moment before recalling this issue.

She had previously inquired about the actress acting as the female lead during a casual chat with Henry Chapman. At that time, Henry Chapman said Alfred Lawrence had his eye on a newcomer and was planning to audition her, but Nora Scott forgot to ask about the subsequent details, and Henry Chapman also hadn’t proactively informed her.

Now, all the actors were kept confidential and hadn’t been finalized, so there was no way to check online, only through internal personnel inquiries.

Henry Chapman thought carefully for a moment before coming up with a name, "It’s Rosa Sullivan."
