?Chapter 426:


    Norah’s adventurous past had instilled in her an unwavering confidence for this mission. With a reassuring pat on the shoulders of Gilda and Chayce, Norah exuded a calm sense of purpose.


    Tears welled in Gilda’s eyes. She longed to express her concern, urging Norah to prioritize her safety in honor of her deceased parents. But faced with Norah’s resolute expression, the words remained unspoken.


    All Gilda and Chayce could do was silently watch as Norah disappeared into the distance.


    “Chayce, I truly can’t fathom where she found the courage for such a feat. What are your thoughts?” Gilda wondered aloud, her fingers idly tracing the leaves in the flowerbed.


    “She’s younger than us, yet her bravery and determination surpass ours.”


    “Gilda, we’ve yet to uncover any information about her past.”


    Chayce’s expression remained stoic.


    “She is exceedingly mysterious. Do not underestimate her.”


    Gilda sighed, her heart weighed down with worry.


    “s, seeing her in such situations is truly heartbreaking. I can’t help but feel sorry for her.”

    Meanwhile, Norah methodically followed her mental blueprint, sessfully nting bugs and cameras in Elsa’s and Hank’s bedroom. These sophisticated cameras, purchased at a premium from the ck market, featured adjustable monitoring angles via remote controls. The bugs, equipped with longsting batteries, ensured extended standby operation.


    In the vi, the regr bedrooms were left unguarded. Ikery motionless on his bed, vulnerable to Norah’s intrusion. Yet, the real challengey in Iker’s study.


    Rumors had circted about Iker’s meticulous protection of his study, and without a key, entry seemed impossible. Any attempt to breach the lock risked heightening the entire manor’s security, potentially exposing her instations.


    Moreover, two security personnel remained stationed at the entrance to the study.


    Norah rounded a corner in the corridor, her gaze fixating on a square venttion duct nestled in the ceiling. Unnoticed by most, the small duct presented a potential entry into the study. Only someone of childlike stature could navigate its narrow passageway. However, Norah moved the vent cover aside with ease and, with practiced agility, slid inside like a sleek fish. Her bones contorted into an astonishing arc,pressing her form to half its usual size.


    Once inside, Norah skillfully ced the cameras and bugs within Iker’s study. Her eyes met the surveince camera nestled in the corner, and she paused momentarily before continuing her exploration.


    The bookshelf was filled with volumes on management and finance, their well-worn pages bearing testament to frequent perusal.


    Approaching the desk, she encountered locked drawers. With practiced hands, she retrieved a wire and skillfully manipted the mechanism until it yielded. Her proficiency in lock-picking remained undiminished. Inside the drawer were various financial statements rted to Iker’spany, guarded like prized possessions, concealed from prying eyes.


    After perusing the files, Norah’s patience wore thin, and she relocked the drawer in frustration. Despite her efforts, the other drawers yielded nothing but morepany financial statements. Puzzled by the secrecy surrounding these documents, Norah couldn’t fathom their significance.


    Approaching the desk’sputer, she bypassed any leisurely browsing and instead quickly copied all files onto a USB drive. Turning her attention to the surveince system, she located the program responsible for managing the cameras and promptly purged its data, rendering it obsolete beyond repair.


    Expecting to uncover solid evidence, Norah’s disappointment grew as she found nothing but mundane financial statements within Iker’s study. Frustration mounting, she directed her ire at Iker’sputer, preparing for a subtle retaliation.
