?Chapter 427:


    Afterpleting her mission, Norah returned to her parents’ vi by early evening. She loosened her hair tie, letting her locks cascade freely down her back.


    Gilda and Chayce, visibly tense in the vi, breathed a collective sigh of relief at Norah’s return. Without probing too deeply, they simply offered her a ss of water. They had doubted the feasibility of Norah’s mission amidst the tight security of the manor. To spare Norah any potential embarrassment, they refrained from inquiring about the oue.


    “Gilda, I’ll provide you both with ess to a website. In your spare moments, listen and distill key information for me. If anything seems suspicious, notify me immediately.”


    Gilda’s hand trembled slightly as she held the ss. Norah had seeded! That was remarkable!


    “Understood.”


    Norah gave her shoulder a grateful pat. “Thank you.”


    “It’s our pleasure.”


    Determined to uncover the culprit behind Norah’s parents’ ordeal, they were prepared to devote themselves tirelessly to the task.


    Though the vi had been tidied up somewhat, it still felt empty,cking the warmth and vitality of life. Its atmosphere was cold and deste. On her previous visits, Norah had explored the different rooms of the vi, such as a home cinema, a dance room, and a music room. Her room undoubtedly stood as the grandest.

    Taking a sip of water, she set the ss down on the table. “I’ll go upstairs for some rest. Feel free to leave if you have other matters to attend to.”


    Pushing open the door to her bedroom, Norah found it immactely clean. The bedding had been reced with fresh sheets, still adorned in pink. The walk-in closet remained untouched, per her instructions not to clean it.


    Surveying the meticulously selected birthday gifts from her mother, Norah’s mind swirled with myriad thoughts. She swore she would avenge them.


    In the evening, she departed from the manor by car. As she drove past Elsa’s car, she noticed Elsa appeared content, her visage radiant with a blush of satisfaction. Upon learning of Norah’s departure, Elsa’s mood soured.


    “Wasn’t she meant to celebrate my birthday? She left without even staying for dinner. Does she have a problem with me?”


    Mindy cast a sidelong nce at her. “Who cares if she stays or goes? I just hope she never returns. She’s irritating to behold.”


    “Oh, Mom, have the guys woken up yet?”


    “They’re all passed out in bed. I don’t understand why Norah chose to leave while intoxicated.”


    “Given their state, let’s postpone dinner a bit. I think I’ll go for a massage.”


    Elsa massaged her waist, feeling a bit sore after encountering a well-built man earlier who had provided her with considerable pleasure.


    The venue for the dinner, organized by the Andrews family, was a fine dining restaurant in Glophia. Joanna’s family was already inside.


    Joanna, holding the menu, took charge of ordering. “We’ll have this. Trust me, Norah enjoys this dish. And this one too, let’s order this…”


    She perused the menu, her orders flowing without pause, selecting dish after dish.


    Bryson nced around. “If it weren’t for Solo Mio Restaurant being fully booked a month in advance, we wouldn’t have ended up here.”


    “It is undoubtedly one of the finest establishments in town, without a doubt,” Darwin remarked casually. The nearby waiter smiled and nodded, his demeanor unchanged. Solo Mio Restaurant’s reputation surpasses that of all other restaurants in Glophia. They were ustomed to suchparisons.


    Joanna concluded her order and checked her phone. “Norah just messaged saying she’s on her way and will arrive in about half an hour.”


    Darwin nodded in acknowledgment. “Excellent.”


    Raina chimed in, “The more we learn about her, the more we recognize her exceptional qualities! But why were we unable to uncover her past information?”
