Chapter 1015 - 698: Showing Off Their Love [01] The Dog Man Is Your Mr. Langley

Nora Scott’s public display of affection is no longer a secret.

Online, countless threads have been opened on the topic of "the dog man behind Nora Scott," with all sorts of speculations. Some media people actually know the inside story, but Pedro Langley offered a high enough price to keep their mouths shut, so the matter was kept watertight.

Netizens thought Nora Scott would keep it a secret for life.

Unexpectedly—

It became public so suddenly.

It became public with such great fanfare.

[I actually saw the dog man behind Nora Scott on a variety show? Can I now shamelessly bash him?]

[Just tell us which variety show it is! We’ll go push for an official announcement!]

[??? Would you please post a picture with your husband?!]

[As a boyfriend fan, I always thought her marriage was a sham... Now I’m unfollowing, goodbye.]

...

Once again, Nora Scott dominated the internet.

Stars who wanted to stir up trouble reluctantly stepped aside for her.

In "Twelve," 12 works, 12 awards, many actors received unprecedented exposure over these months. Naturally, they wanted to take the opportunity to market themselves and solidify their popularity, especially the award winners—oh, Henry Chapman is an exception.

As a result, just when the awards were announced, the scripts they prepared hadn’t been released yet, and Nora Scott already took the spotlight with two pieces of news, capturing the attention of the gossiping public.

They were going mad.

The netizens are only so many, and they’re all focused on Nora Scott. What’s the point of having beautifully written scripts?

Moreover, compared to them celebrating winning awards, isn’t Nora Scott’s carefree relinquishing of awards a breath of fresh air? She gained fame and silenced those netizens who criticized her for being undeserving, grabbing both name and profit without any loss.

Some stars are simply filled with hatred towards Nora Scott.

Yet, there’s nothing they can do.

Even if they buy materials everywhere to blacken Nora Scott, she remains unfazed, and passersby turn a blind eye—after all, those are trivial matters to Nora Scott.

Now, if you want to bring down Nora Scott, unless she commits a criminal offense.

Within a few days, when the buzz was slowly dissipating, a couple’s reality show called "Star’s Married Life" made an official announcement, stating it would begin recording a week later and revealed the recording format.

Live broadcast.

The first recording would feature a day in the lives of three couples. Later, each subsequent recording would be edited into two episodes, an "upper" and "lower" half, and aired on Cool Ridge Media.

At the same time—

The promotional pictures of the three couples were released.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The gossiping public instantly flooded the official blog.

[If I’m not mistaken, the dog man with Nora Scott... oh no, that young talent is our boss from Victor Technology?!]

[Damn, so after all this time someone actually guessed correctly, the dog guy is Mr. Langley!!]

[The world seems a bit surreal, isn’t Pedro Langley supposed to be with Camilo Nogueira? I’ve been shipping them for two whole years, but it turns out it’s fake? I’ve been shipping nothing.]

[Live broadcast for a day... can I see the Heavenly Immortal waking up? I think even when the Heavenly Immortal wakes up, there must be special effects.]

[I’m excited! I’m excited! Last year’s hit variety show was "Escape Room," and this year it must be "Star’s Married Life"! I’m going to hype it up! Half a month ago, I hoped Nora Scott could develop well in the entertainment industry, but now I just want her to be the queen of "slap in the face."]

[I have no interest in the married life of stars, but I’m very interested in the married life of Beauty Nora and the dog man...]

[Brother fan popping in. I want to know if the two brothers will appear? Haven’t seen them for too long, always reminiscing their previous variety shows and competition videos. Sob sob, please have mercy on us.]

...

The online buzz remained high.

Cloudwater Haven.

After returning from Langley Residence, Nora Scott brought back a bunch of stuff given by Flora Loughton and saw the director of "Star’s Married Life" in the living room, discussing the camera positions with Pedro Langley.

"Lady Langley," the director quickly greeted her.

Thanks to this top star, their program, without any publicity, swept the entire internet.

Proper manners should not be lacking.

Nora Scott glanced at him coolly, "Miss Scott."

An awkward moment, the director corrected himself, "Miss Scott."

Nora Scott was satisfied, casually slipping her hand into her pocket as she asked, "When is the shoot?"

"The day after tomorrow, from 7 AM to 7 PM," the director answered. "Tomorrow night, people will set up the cameras. But rest assured, the cameras won’t be turned on until it’s time."

"Oh."

Nora Scott nodded slightly, having no objections.

She went through the process once; all details were finalized by Pedro Langley. The first day of filming had no script, allowing for improvisation. In subsequent recordings, all three couples would shoot together, with some basic scripts to avoid awkwardness between unfamiliar couples.

After all, this reality show is about "showing affection." As long as Nora Scott and Pedro Langley are together, she’s fine with the usual setup as long as the production team doesn’t act up.

"Oh, there’s another program setup," the director voluntarily added to Nora Scott. "This time, among the three couples live-streaming, the couple with the highest viewership will have a special treatment in the next round."

Saying this, he glanced at Nora Scott and Pedro Langley.

Nora Scott and Pedro Langley exchanged a look.

Somehow—

Both felt that the director’s look was a bit suspicious.

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Nora Scott raised an eyebrow.

"I’m afraid I can’t say much," the director cleared his throat, "but there’s no doubt that you both will have the highest viewership."

Nora Scott: "..."

Pedro Langley: "..."

That’s true.

No matter how boring Nora Scott and Pedro Langley behave, the base audience from Nora Scott’s fanbase and casual viewers already assures a much higher starting point of popularity for their live broadcast compared to the other two couples.

"By the way," Nora Scott only then remembered a question, "who are the other two couples?"

She had agreed to participate so readily, not having investigated anything.

Even the contract was handled by Pedro Langley.

She hadn’t thought of asking.

The director looked at her in surprise, then truthfully informed her of the other two couples.

"One is a female star named Emily Bay, she started as a theater actress and later transitioned to TV and films. A few years ago, she was top-tier, but now she’s not as popular, around second or third-tier..."

"I know."

Nora Scott lifted her eyelids and interrupted him plainly. For some reason, her tone was a bit cold.

The director paused, then continued, "Her husband is a wealthy second generation, named Anthony Santos."

Anthony Santos?

The one collaborating with Alexander Vaughn and who recruited Annabelle Pinto, that Anthony Santos?!

"..."

Upon hearing this, Nora Scott instinctively looked at Pedro Langley.

Pedro Langley looked quite innocent, indicating with his eyes that he had just found out and hadn’t had time to tell her.

The director, unaware of their eye exchanges, continued, "Another is a male celebrity named Lennon Turner, also a star. His wife is a civilian, a journalist."

"...Oh."

Nora Scott playfully curled her lips, subconsciously moving her wrist.

Interesting.

These four people...

Have some ties with her, one way or another.
