Chapter 457: Chapter 269: Did Nora Scott Get the Durant Family Involved?
"Miss Mansfield! There’s progress on a project in the northwest!"
An excited voice came from the phone.
Amy Mansfield was slightly taken aback, "Which project?"
"It’s the large smuggling case in Lanel, wasn’t it stuck at a bottleneck? Our informant was discovered and had to retreat two months ago, so we couldn’t arrange new personnel for a while." The voice was elated, "Just now, someone reached out to me and said they have a way to get some critical clues."
Amy Mansfield frowned, "Who is that person, are they reliable?"
"Quite reliable. A local gangster, quite famous in Lanel. We’ve been wanting to get him involved, but he’s tough and didn’t want to contact us or get involved in this kind of thing."
"Why did he suddenly change his mind?" Amy Mansfield had her doubts.
The person on the other end was puzzled, "Wasn’t it the Hall Master who communicated with him?"
"Huh?"
"He said it was at the behest of a friend named Nora Scott." The person paused and suspiciously asked, "Isn’t our Hall Master named Nora Scott?"
"...Yes."
"The new Hall Master is really something! Weeks of our efforts to communicate couldn’t compare to her saying a word!" The person praised excitedly, "By the way, has she come to the company? What’s the feeling?"
Amy Mansfield: "..." She felt like a mere figurehead.
But, did she really have a way?
Pausing her thoughts, Amy returned to her senses at the other person’s call, instructing them to play it by ear and not to rashly trust the local gangster, stressing caution, then hung up the call.
She picked up the commission form for Lanel, the last page just had a about communicating with the local gangster but without results.
Nora Scott finished reading the commission form?
Holding the brand new commission form, Amy flipped through it page by page, not finding a single note.
Just went through it once?
Because coincidentally knowing the local gangster, so she called him?
While thinking this, Amy’s phone vibrated again, she put the commission slip down and answered.
"Miss Mansfield, isn’t the project investigation into the unscrupulous company in Anchel at a deadlock? Just now, the Durant Family contacted us saying they are willing to secretly help provide clues. It’s said to be at the behest of Master Scott." The person on the phone sounded astonished, "Is it true, did Master Scott finally take over the affairs of Biel Hall?"
Consecutive messages overwhelmed Amy a bit, she steadied herself and incredulously asked, "Nora Scott requested the help of the Durant Family?"
"Yeah, didn’t you know?"
Amy Mansfield: "..."
She knew nothing at all!
She hadn’t even seen a shadow of anyone since putting down the commission slip!
What is the deal with Nora Scott, opening cheat codes behind our backs?
"Oh, right, it was Steward Durant himself who contacted us, oh, he was extremely respectful, referring to ’Miss Scott’ profusely. When we try to communicate with them, they are quite dismissive. It seems Master Scott has quite the face!"
"..."
Amy pressed her temples, asked a few more questions, and inquired about the detailed project situation before hanging up, full of suspicion.
In the next hour, Amy received two more calls.
All saying projects previously stuck in a stalemate suddenly had influential people assisting, with possible new progress.
They all said the same thing: related to Master Scott.
Without exception, these projects showing progress had detailed information in folders. — All commission slips meant for Nora Scott to review.
When Amy received the fifth call, she was practically questioning reality.
Is it never going to end?
In less than an afternoon, casually, several projects stuck at a standstill had suddenly made progress, and the assisting individuals were of higher status one after another, all people who usually ignored Biel Hall.
Could it be—
Is this a play orchestrated in secret with Boss Alex, just to take this opportunity to secure the position of Hall Master?

Third floor, Manager’s office.
The assistant knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
Pausing his work, Barton Mansfield looked up.
After entering, the assistant said nervously, "Manager Mansfield, someone from Victor Technology contacted us."
"What’s it about?"
Victor Technology, Barton had heard a bit about them.
Not just because they dominate half the civilian drone market, but also due to their recent national aid and support as they began researching military drones.
This company’s future worth and status are naturally on the rise.
"They wanted to know if our canteen needs renovation or if any systems need upgrades." At this point, the assistant’s eyes flickered, cautiously adding, "For free."
"How can there be such a good thing?"
Barton found it unbelievable.
Moreover, someone in the drone business volunteering to help renovate the canteen?
