Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 741 - 468: The Higher You Stand, the Harder You Fall (Part 2)
The boss heard the young man’s tone of causing trouble and instinctively glanced at Nora, only responding after seeing her unbothered: "It’s meant for the public to play with. Making it too complicated would lose its fun."
The young man chuckled but didn’t say anything more.
However, the arrogance and disdain emanating from him were very obvious.
He clearly took the boss’s words as perfunctory excuses. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Boss: "..." Really feels like hitting him.
At this moment, the young man saw Rosa’s reaction, glanced at Nora and Pedro, lingered on Nora for a brief moment, showing a hint of amazement, then took the initiative to ask Rosa, "Someone you know?"
"Yes." Rosa nodded, "He’s my teacher’s son, Pedro Langley. Filming together, Nora Scott."
The young man suddenly understood and looked at Nora, asking: "Are you the Nora Scott from the Scott family?"
The tone was entirely condescending.
Raising her eyebrow, Nora blocked Pedro in front, casually asking: "Are you the legendary genius Mechanical Master from the Sullivan Clan?"
"That’s me."
Adrian did not deny the term "genius" at all.
Ever since he arrived in Fenton City, he has been treated with courtesy by the Scott family. Everyone who sees him has to humble themselves, and even Aaron Scott must treat him like a distinguished guest.
As for Nora—
He hadn’t heard about birthday banquets or things like that, only heard Rosa mention Nora was the daughter brought home by the Scott family, knew a bit of Mechanical Techniques, and was supported by Rosie.
Rosie’s choice was amusing, instead of picking someone else, she chose a Scott family member who voluntarily sought collaboration with the Sullivan Clan.
If the Scott family really had capable descendants, they wouldn’t humbly seek the Sullivan Clan and visit thrice to ask for help.
Adrian naturally assumed Nora would be like other Scott family members, groveling around him.
Unexpectedly—
Nora simply drew her lips into a playful smile, said nothing further, directly pulling Pedro’s hand and entering the secret room’s door.
Rosa was stunned, gaze on their holding hands, seemingly thoughtful.
Pedro publicly declared he has a girlfriend.
It’s apparent Nora also has a boyfriend she’s dating.
During this time, Pedro frequently used the excuse of looking for Katherine Collins to appear in the crew...
Could it be...
Rosa bit her lip corner.
No wonder Nora’s resources are so good, with topics constantly surfacing, clearly backed by capital. Turns out she’s hitched to Pedro, the boss of Fernwood Entertainment.
Adrian felt rather displeased being ignored by Nora.
"Rosa."
"Hmm?"
"You said Nora knows a bit of Mechanical Techniques?"
"Yes."
Rosa replied with a sound.
Adrian snorted with disdain: "I bet it’s all marketing hype. Even if Nora has a bit of skill, the Scott family wouldn’t necessarily fawn over us."
"She’s with the CEO of Fernwood Entertainment. With his backing, Nora can establish any persona."
After pondering for a moment, Rosa agreed.
She evidently concurred with Adrian’s statement.
If Nora truly had such capability, why would the Scott family seek assistance from the Sullivan Clan for secret room setups? Clearly just riding the "Mechanical Techniques" trend for attention.
"No wonder."
Adrian sneered.
Boss: "..." These two probably haven’t been face-slapped by Nora.
Unable to bear listening any longer, the boss felt embarrassed for them, then shook his head and walked away.
"By the way," Rosa said as she walked out, speaking to Adrian, "Looks like Nora took on a very talented student."
"Have you seen them?"
"Yes." Rosa said, "That kid is under five, great at logical reasoning and spatial imagination. If well nurtured, could become very capable. But under Nora, they might be squandered."
In the past, the Sullivan Clan only passed Mechanical Techniques to their family members.
But now the idea has relaxed, with fewer rules. Of course, part of the reasoning is the younger Sullivan generation lacks outstanding talents.
Therefore, the Sullivan Clan is looking outward, widely accepting pupils, targeting children under ten years old, starting training from young.
The implementation began a few years ago.
Adrian’s mind stirred, asking: "What’s their name?"
"Andrew Hughes."

Inside the secret room.
Walking through a dim corridor, not far ahead was an iron door that required indicators from both sides of the hallway to open.
"How did you get him?"
Pedro observed the clues in the hallway, unhurriedly integrating them in his mind while casually chatting with Nora.
"The higher they stand, the harder they fall." Nora raised an eyebrow, "We’ll deal with him later."
Hearing her tone, Pedro realized something, asking: "You already have a plan?"
Nora countered: "Could the Scott family keep bouncing around otherwise?"
Pedro chuckled.
Indeed.
Since Nora caused a ruckus at Aaron’s birthday celebration in March and left with harsh words, actually not much was done directly against the Scott family.
Though, due to a few of her words, the Scott family businesses have been severely impacted and remain in decline, and Ethan is even worse, tortured by Benjamin to death.
Yet—
All this bears no substantial connection to Nora.
Since she let the Scott family keep causing chaos, she must still be hiding a big move.
As she said: The higher they stand, the harder they fall.
"Tsk."
Nora suddenly voiced disdain while leaning against the iron railing playing on her phone.
Pedro glanced sideways at her.
—— Perhaps the boss trusted them too much, usually phones weren’t allowed inside, but as soon as they arrived, the boss never once mentioned the word "phone."
Pedro asked: "What’s wrong?"
Nora sighed, "I thought Rosa was someone who could keep calm."
"Huh?"
"Not interesting."
Nora felt she overestimated this guy, lacking interest, her brows dropped down, the phone slipped back into her pocket.
Pedro: ???
