Chapter 479: Chapter 284: Henry Chapman: Be My Mom’s Goddaughter
The picture blown up by the marketing account was taken at the entrance of a theater.
Pedro Langley stood by the car, tall and elegant, exuding a noble aura. In front of him was a young woman, graceful, delicate, and serene, with striking looks, quite pretty. She seemed to be in her early twenties.
There was a distance between the two of them, not even the hem of their clothes touched. It was just that due to the angle, at first glance, they seemed to be very close.
Kudos to the marketing account for daring to spin stories.
Why not say they are uncle and niece?
Benjamin Durant, being so "considerate," not only persuaded me to break up but also gave me screenshots of several hot comments from netizens.
[I know this girl! The campus queen of our school, a talented beauty, rumored to be Master Julian Linfield’s direct disciple.]
[Ahhhhh, has my goddess started dating? And the partner is the boss of Fernwood, Mr. Langley?]
[A perfect match of talents and looks, a match made in heaven. [Rose][Rose][Rose][Rose]]
[I looked it up, Rosa Sullivan, only 19, a first-year student at the National Academy of Music. She’s too young, I’m afraid she’ll get hurt. Is that why Mr. Langley is reluctant to go public? Mr. Langley is so considerate.]
[?? I just fell into the "Ring sound" (Pedro Nora) CP.]
...
After reading the comments, the killing aura around Nora Scott surged, even Rose sensed it, and swiftly jumped into Henry Chapman’s arms.
Smoothing Rose’s fur, Henry Chapman gently furrowed his brows and asked softly, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing," Nora Scott gave him a calm smile, but against the backdrop of the dazzling sunlight, it appeared cold, "My boyfriend’s caught in a scandal with a campus queen, just a small matter."
"..."
When you say ’small matter’, please tone down that chilling smile.
After pondering for a while, Henry Chapman seriously asked Nora Scott, "Do you want to have a scandal with me?"
"What?"
Nora Scott, who was just about to criticize Pedro Langley, stopped typing abruptly upon hearing this.
Henry Chapman remained calm and repeated formally, "A scandal."
Nora Scott looked at him in astonishment, raised her hand to rub her ear, "Are you nuts?"
"To help you get back at him."
Henry Chapman stated seriously.
"Do you think I’m an idiot?" Nora Scott chuckled, raising her eyebrows in response.
Henry Chapman loathed being tied to others for publicity.
He didn’t go online, so most of the covert or overt tying with female stars went unnoticed by him, and he rarely bothered. However, once he knew, he would publicly refute it without giving any face.
He once made a female star he co-starred with lose face in front of the media.
"My mom wants me to pursue you." Henry Chapman was very blunt.
"Cough."
Nora Scott almost choked to death.
"After knowing you have a partner, she was so upset she couldn’t sleep or eat for three days and nights," Henry Chapman recounted Mrs. Chapman’s words, "She’s always hoping for a rift between you and Pedro Langley."
"...Give her my thanks."
Thinking of that elegant and gentle lady, Nora Scott was utterly dumbfounded.
The perfect image meticulously crafted by Mrs. Chapman was completely destroyed by Henry’s few words.
So all these elders and friends are hoping for various reasons that she and Pedro Langley would break up?
It’s true for Mrs. Chapman and Henry Chapman, and Benjamin Durant too.
"If I can ’take advantage of the situation’, she will take care of Rose during my filming." Henry Chapman added.
"Isn’t she allergic to cats?" Nora Scott raised an eyebrow.
Henry Chapman said, "As long as Rose doesn’t enter her bedroom, and she doesn’t touch Rose, it’s fine."
"...Oh."
"Scandal——"
"No scandal!"
Henry Chapman had barely mentioned it when Nora Scott immediately vetoed it.
You, a dignified film emperor, discard your integrity for a cat!
There are already people shipping the two of them. If they had any more actions, it would make things harder once she and Pedro Langley go public.
Thankfully, the casting for Reversing Life is kept secret, so unless there are any accidents during filming, it won’t be made public. Otherwise, the imaginative netizens might cook up even more bizarre events with her and Henry Chapman being in the same production.
"Then become her goddaughter."
?
Nora Scott looked over curiously.
Henry Chapman continued, "A perfect solution."
"..." After pausing for a moment to clear Henry Chapman’s logic, Nora Scott was almost amused by him, "Do I look like I need a mom?"
Henry Chapman retorted, "Don’t you?"
Nora Scott: "..."
Alright, she admittedly doesn’t have a mom.
For anyone else, if they dared bring this up directly with her, she’d beat them to the point they couldn’t stand for half a month.
After a moment of speechless silence, Nora Scott suddenly realized something and looked up sharply, "So from the beginning, you’ve been setting me up, huh?"
Starting with the talk about a ’scandal’, which she would definitely not accept, and then steering the conversation to this compromise, making it seemingly much easier to accept in comparison...
"My mom lacks a daughter," Henry Chapman said, "Especially one like you."
"..."
Nora Scott couldn’t be bothered to argue with him about this.
She wasn’t planning on going around acknowledging mothers.
Right now, it was crucial to find out about the school beauty. Nora tossed the script onto the floor, grabbed her phone, and went over to the railing to call Pedro Langley.
"I heard your girlfriend is the pure school beauty, not even twenty yet?" Once the call connected, Nora immediately spoke, sarcastically mocking, "So loyal, huh? Years have passed and your taste hasn’t changed a bit."
Pedro chuckled, "Back in those days, you were undeniably the ’school beauty’, but as for ’pure’..."
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Nora squeezed out two words through her teeth, "What about it?"
Stern, cold, with a chilling murderous aura.
"A perfect match."
Pedro quickly switched his tone.
"Ha."
Nora let out a cold laugh.
"It was taken when I picked up Loughton last time." Pedro explained swiftly, not dragging it out.
"You mean your mom’s favorite student?"
"Yeah."
"Talented and beautiful as a flower." Nora’s tone was dripping with jealousy.
"Really not as good as you."
Pedro spoke the truth.
In terms of looks and presence, Nora could outshine everyone no matter where she went; a mere school beauty was no match.
As for talents—
In mechanics, comics, whichever skill she casually displayed was of monumental status.
"Enough with the nonsense," Nora said coldly, not wanting to hear his smooth talk, her voice carrying a hint of hostility, "You’re an outsider, and she’s not some famous star, how could your attention get on trending? You picked up Loughton and happened to take her along, how come only the two of you got photographed?"
Although displeased by the rumors of Pedro and other women, this didn’t affect Nora’s rational thinking.
You’re not a big star, who cares about your relationships?
It would be strange if there wasn’t someone behind this.
"Investigating." Pedro replied calmly, then shifted the conversation, "But, ten minutes ago, she just posted a tweet to clarify."
Nora was taken aback, narrowing her eyes, "Clarifying that you two have no relation?"
"Yeah."
Just an hour after being trending, Rosa Sullivan rushed to clarify.
She clearly had no intention of building her celebrity status by getting tied to Pedro.
On Pedro’s side, having received the news not long ago, he hadn’t yet taken any public relations measures. Rosa Sullivan’s clarification spared him quite some trouble.
Nora didn’t respond.
The call was still ongoing, but she logged into Twitter to search for Rosa’s "clarification tweet."
No ambiguous words, she straightforwardly stated she’s currently single, only having a brief acquaintance with Pedro and not being familiar. While explaining the candid photo was at her teacher’s event, where Pedro picked up the teacher and also gave her a lift, she subtly mocked the media for making stuff up based on a single photo.
Clear, decisive, with a slightly assertive personality.
Opening the tweet comments, they were filled with phrases like "supporting you, sis", "became a fan", "go, girl", "timely response, not jumping on the hype, good for you."
Clearly, she gained significant favor.
——It seems this Rosa Sullivan really may not be involved, neither the photo nor the rumors were orchestrated by her, and she had no intention of attaching herself to Pedro.
However, based solely on Nora’s earlier suspicions of the unreasonable aspects, and the intuition of a woman, despite not knowing Rosa Sullivan well, Nora still felt something was off, though she couldn’t quite articulate it.
After pondering for a moment, Nora asked, "How many new followers did she gain on Twitter?"
Pedro replied, "Less than ten thousand."
The time is short, less than ten thousand. If the hype continues, it shouldn’t increase much more. Compared to celebrities on social media, tens of thousands wouldn’t even count as a drop in the ocean, completely negligible.
Just emerged, hastily clarified, a smack in the media’s face... from all of Rosa Sullivan’s actions, she seems unlikely to be behind it all.
But, Pedro shared in Nora’s doubts.
How could it just be such a coincidence?
"After posting on social media, she called Loughton." Pedro continued.
"For what?"
Nora’s tone was cool, not very pleased.
Pedro said, "To apologize and explain, saying she brought us trouble."
"Thoughtful indeed..." Nora ’tsk’ed, "Your Loughton didn’t end up comforting her, did she?"
Pedro casually countered, "Loughton wants to comfort you. The question is, would you give her the chance?"
"..."
Nora was rendered speechless.
"I’ll head back to Cloudwater Haven this afternoon."
Due to Flora Loughton’s birthday, the Langley family rarely gathered, and Pedro hadn’t been back to Cloudwater Haven in days.
Staying in touch with Nora only through video, calls, and texts always felt lacking.
"Better not come back." Nora said leisurely, "One rumor after another from you, even stars looking for publicity aren’t as diligent, I’m annoyed just looking."
Pedro: "..." That accusation was a bit unjust.
