Chapter 449: Chapter 263: The Three Siblings, A Chance Encounter at the Company [Second Update]
First Affiliated High School, Class 2-3, Grade 11.
The senior year courses ended last semester, and this semester started with review mode. The math teacher was talking about the test paper, while Oliver Scott, who scored full marks, was slacking off at his desk.
According to the study plan, he should have completed half of the science test paper by now.
Resting his arm on the table, Oliver Scott leaned his chin on his elbow, clutching a pen, with his mind full of the messages from Lisa.
Lisa:
[Master, just now the master and madam had a fight, the master wants to send the madam back to the Ferreira Family and divorce her.]
[Miss is a bit emotionally unstable.]
[Can you come home tonight?]
Oliver Scott was extremely smart.
At this critical moment, Ernesto Scott and Alma Ferreira fighting, what could the reason be?
Ernesto Scott, being a doting father, usually doesn’t care about family matters unless they are related to Nora Scott, only then could it affect him so much.
That is to say, the rumors about Nora Scott being an illegitimate daughter had been spread with Alma Ferreira fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Ernesto Scott’s Weibo had spread around the class just now, classmates were shocked by his "brotherly relationship" with Marcus Shaw, and he only just learned that the stories Alma Ferreira had hinted at about "Nora Scott being an illegitimate daughter" were fundamentally untrue.
In that case, many things make sense—
Ernesto Scott’s usual indifference to Alma Ferreira wasn’t due to broken feelings as he thought when he was young; it might be that there was no emotion at all;
Alma Ferreira painstakingly raising their two children, there is an explanation in her attempts to attract Ernesto Scott’s attention;
Why Ernesto Scott spoils Nora Scott so much, wanting to give her everything;
...
All these things are just because the person in Ernesto Scott’s heart is not Alma Ferreira, but Nora Scott’s mother.
Alma Ferreira is just cautiously maintaining a long-dead marriage.
No, maybe from the start, this marriage was only a figment of Alma Ferreira’s imagination.
Oliver Scott didn’t have the right to inquire, nor did he want to question exactly how the previous generation’s marriage was.
But right now—
Ernesto Scott divorcing Alma Ferreira;
Alma Ferreira seeing Nora Scott as a thorn in her side;
Sophie Scott and Nora Scott certainly unable to reconcile because of the "plagiarism incident";
...
A pile of vexing problems made Oliver Scott’s head feel like it was going to explode.
Somehow, Oliver Scott lifted his eyelids and his gaze suddenly stayed on Marcus Shaw in the front seat.
For a moment, he was distracted.
Even though it’s quite impolite, sometimes he couldn’t help but admit that Marcus Shaw’s simple family relations occasionally were quite enviable to him...
At least there aren’t so many issues.
But, what is he doing?
Oliver Scott’s eyes shifted past Marcus Shaw’s shoulder to the front, and there he was playing on his phone again.
*
Marcus Shaw was replying to a message.
Earlier he took a job from the "Biel Hall" app and met someone named "Boss Alex." This person contacted him just now, saying there’s a technical issue with another software that needs handling, and asked if he had time.
The offered pay wasn’t low.
After clearing his debts, Marcus Shaw only needed to worry about his living expenses, with no urgent need for money. Plus, his wealthy sister occasionally sent him money for meals, so his living expenditures were easily covered.
He didn’t necessarily have to take the job.
However, Boss Alex was a nice person, and his recent reviews had been smooth.
[Marcus Shaw]: Mm.
[Boss Alex]: [Address]
[Boss Alex]: Then I’ll trouble you to take a trip, travel expenses reimbursed.
Marcus Shaw put away his phone.
"The next problem—"
"Screech—" With a sound, the chair was pulled out, and the whole class’s attention was forcibly shifted to Marcus Shaw who was standing up.
"Marcus Shaw, what’s the matter?"
The math teacher’s gaze passed over with slight curiosity.
Since the beginning of this semester, Marcus Shaw had become a key focus for all subject teachers.
As usual, during small tests, Marcus Shaw’s grades hovered around the pass mark.
However, with the experience from last semester’s finals, teachers would carefully check the questions he answered. Unsurprisingly, he left simple questions blank, but if he had done them, he probably would have gotten them all right. In fact, in this small test, he performed pretty well, with only two points deducted from the last question of the ones he answered.
If it weren’t for his scores being unimpressive, the math teacher would really want to praise him properly.
Now, any movement from him naturally caught the math teacher’s attention.
Marcus Shaw lazily lifted his eyes and said, "Stomachache, taking a leave."
Math teacher + the whole class: "..."
This young man looks energetic, glowing, without a hint of sickness. Isn’t the "stomachache" excuse a bit too fabricated?
"Go on then."
The math teacher maintained a stern expression, nodding slightly, indicating agreement.
Previously Marcus Shaw would just not show up for class without notifying, now—
Showing improvement in attitude is still worthy of recognition.
