?Chapter 369:


    “In the past, you entrusted your father’s assets to their management because you didn’t know us. They are always outsiders. But we are your family and the closest people to your father. We can help you.”


    Hank did his best to persuade Norah.


    “It’s heart-wrenching to witness your father’s hard-earned property deteriorate under their management. Much of it has already been lost. Trust us, we’re family. We won’t let you down.”


    “He’s right.”


    Elsa quickly understood Hank’s implication.


    “Norah, you can feel our weing stance toward you. My father even proposed including your name in the family tome. However, as per our n’s tradition, women are not typically featured in the tome.”


    Only then did Norah find out, and her expression turned gloomy.


    “Why can’t women be included?”


    Hadley whispered the reason to Norah, who grew furious upon understanding.


    “I didn’t expect the Wilson family, being prominent in this era, to have such strong favoritism. Elsa, being part of the family, are you okay with them never acknowledging you?”

    Elsa’s expression shifted.


    “It’s been this way forever. There’s no point in us being upset about it.”


    Even if she desired it, her efforts wouldn’t change anything. The Wilson family had a long-standing history, and many women had been unable to have their names included in the tome due to this outdated rule.


    As they left the cemetery, Iker announced, “Norah, I’ve included your name in the tome. You’re officially part of the family now.”


    Hank approached and whispered the details to him.


    Upon hearing that, Iker’s expression remained unchanged.


    “It’s always been our family’s rule. Norah, I’m sorry you’ve been kept away since you were a child. Your parents’ final wish was for you toe back to the family. That’s why we’ve made you eligible for inclusion in the tome.”


    He added with a serious tone, “This rule isn’t just for anyone; it’s been around since ancient times.”


    Norah huffed, refusing to engage in such pointless arguments.


    Deep down, she knew this was just favoritism.


    She couldn’t care less if her name made it onto the tome. She’d treat these people just as they treated her.


    Iker’s expression softened as he remarked, “Norah, I’ve heard from Hank. He’s right. Outsiders aren’t as dependable as family. With your parents gone, we’re all you have. Do you really trust outsiders over us?” He added, “We’re your family; we wouldn’t harm you. If you’re not sure, you can start by sharing a bit of the property. When you trust us more, you can give the rest. We can’t bear to see your father’s hard work go to waste. Trust us, alright?”


    He didn’t mention joining thepany.


    Norah had already learned of Iker’s n to join thepany for some privileges in the past.


    But before he could act, she had instructed Gilda to nip it in the bud.


    Norah’s eyes gleamed; she could read people well.


    Iker seemed nice at first nce, but his kindness didn’t run deep, not even as genuine as a friend’s. It was clear that all he was after was the wealth she possessed. Did they truly believe she was some clueless, innocent girl? They underestimated her.


    With a slight smile, she said, “Truth be told, Uncle Iker, during my time with the Carter family, I learned about management. Running apany wouldn’t be beyond me.”
