Chapter 447: Chapter 261: Master Scott Opens for Business Today [Part 3]
The vast training grounds, with low buildings comparable to a military base. Outside, there’s a perimeter wall, and at the gate, people in security uniforms stand guard, under the scorching sun, each one standing straighter than the last.
The situation inside can’t be seen, but faintly, the sounds of security drills can be heard.
?
This is her family’s security company?
She thought it was just a fake company with a sign, but surprisingly, at first glance, the company’s premises seem quite impressive.
The issue is, this is the prime real estate of Fenton City...
Taking off her sunglasses, Nora Scott pulled out her phone and made a call to Boss Alex.
"Good morning, Master Scott."
As soon as he picked up, Boss Alex greeted her with a playful tone.
With her chin resting on her elbow, Nora Scott squinted her eyes and lazily asked, "Isn’t our hall so poor that we need to sell everything? Did you give me the wrong address?"
"The premises?" Boss Alex’s laughter was as gentle as the spring breeze, his voice gradually reaching her ears, "Didn’t I tell you? The grounds are provided for free by Biel Hall members."
"..."
Our hall’s members sure are wealthy.
"Is there anything else shocking that you haven’t mentioned?"
"If your expectations are too low, the things that might amaze you could go on indefinitely." Boss Alex clearly understands Nora Scott’s psychological expectations.
"..."
Nora Scott’s lips twitched slightly but she said nothing.
From the beginning, she thought that this shabby hall being able to rent a tiny plot in a high-rise for a sign was already quite remarkable.
She certainly didn’t expect such a fanfare.
"Whatever services a security company should have, Biel Security lacks none."
Boss Alex patiently introduced, "Armed escort, network alarm system, security training, four major services including traffic facilities. The first batch of members are professionals with experience working at security companies. Over ninety percent of the security personnel are from the military, and over eighty percent have more than two years of service experience."
Nora Scott raised an eyebrow, "Do you have licenses?"
"Rest assured, everything is legitimate and complete. Our company received administrative licensing approval from the Fenton City Public Security Bureau, providing 24-hour global professional security services."
"..."
To have all the procedures completed in such a short time... Biel Hall’s connections are truly impressive.
"Also, an information department has been added, specifically for processing information business." Boss Alex added leisurely.
Nora Scott smiled, "Doing Biel Hall’s old trade?"
Boss Alex said, "We started with this, can’t abandon it."
"Shall I go in directly?" Nora Scott asked.
"Yes, I’ve made arrangements." Boss Alex paused, then changed his tone, "However—"
"Hmm?"
"With the new hall master taking over, there will always be those who don’t accept authority." Boss Alex reminded, "This, I can’t control, you’ll have to handle it yourself."
"Got it."
Nora Scott was not surprised.
Biel Hall has been established for many years, and in this line of work, there are many tough individuals, casually expecting a group to be respectful to a twenty-something young hall master... she already looked down on them.
It’s said she is the youngest hall master ever.
It’s said that every hall master before taking office had outstanding achievements, but she was abruptly thrust into the role;
It’s said that during the succession ceremony, more than half of the people disagreed, silenced only by the former hall master’s personal power;
...
During these times, if Boss Alex wasn’t so competent, able to win people’s approval and suppress this group, Nora Scott would likely be beset with endless troubles.
"Get out of the car."
As soon as the call ended, Nora Scott reached over to unbuckle Andrew Hughes’ seatbelt.
The movement was casual, as if unintentional.
Andrew Hughes, who had been quietly silent, glanced at her, then took Rose out of the cat carrier, holding her in his arms, placed the carrier under the passenger seat, and opened the car door to jump out.
He circled the car hood, coming to the other side where Nora Scott was leaning against the car door, waiting for him.
"Come."
Nora Scott suddenly reached out her hand to him.
Her fingers were slender, joints clearly defined, her skin pale and transparent under the sunlight.
Andrew Hughes, who would hesitate and be prideful even when holding hands with his mother, looked at her hand and then at her, without any hesitation, he proactively reached out and held her hand.
With a slight nod, Nora Scott tilted the frame of her sunglasses, placing them on her nose, and walked towards the gate with Andrew Hughes.
The first obstacle, the gate’s security.
As soon as Nora Scott and Andrew Hughes walked in, they were stopped by the security guards.
The security scrutinized their silhouettes, one big and one small, with a serious and cautious expression, and asked formally, "May I ask what’s your business here?"

Leaving the library, Sophie Scott hailed a taxi back to the Scott family villa.
Once inside, Lisa came forward to greet her.
"Miss, why did you come back?"
"Is Mom home?"
With books still clutched in her arms, Sophie Scott frowned slightly, urgently inquiring to Lisa.
"She is." Lisa quickly glanced upstairs, then subtly hinted at the mess in the living room, and explained with concern to Sophie Scott, "Just a moment ago, madam threw a fit by herself, and has just returned to her room to rest, instructed that no one should disturb her."
Hearing Lisa’s words, Sophie Scott paused slightly, seemingly hesitant.
In a moment of impulse, she came back without any clear thoughts about what to say to Alma Ferreira.
During the journey, the only thing she had in mind was to ask Alma Ferreira whether the matter of Nora Scott being a legitimate daughter was true or false.
She hadn’t considered Alma Ferreira’s current state at all.
Judging from Lisa’s reaction, it seems Alma Ferreira has just learned of Ernesto Scott’s public clarification, furious, and is currently enraged...
Since childhood, she’s been afraid of Alma Ferreira, especially after the "plagiarism incident," the mad Alma Ferreira has become an indelible shadow on her heart.
Now...
In her heart, she can’t help but feel a bit apprehensive.
Just as she hesitated and hesitated, suddenly urgent footsteps sounded behind her.
Lisa looked outside, hurriedly greeting, "Sir, you’ve returned."
Startled, Sophie Scott turned around and saw the person arriving, she called out, "Dad..."
"Where’s Alma Ferreira?"
Before Sophie Scott could finish greeting, Ernesto Scott coldly asked Lisa. His gaze towards Sophie Scott was faint.
Upon hearing Ernesto Scott speak, Sophie Scott felt things were not right, her heart sank slightly.
Calling her by name, unwilling to even use a generic address.
It probably means he’s learned about Alma Ferreira’s manipulation of the public opinion...
Lisa, shuddering under Ernesto Scott’s cold glare, quickly lowered her head, answering, "Upstairs in the bedroom."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ernesto Scott strode forward, directly heading up the stairs.
