Chapter: 1134

After more than four hours of walking, they reached the Bay Village.

The village was modest, consisting of just a few dozen homes.

Norah approached a middle-aged man who was using a hoe in the fields.

“Reggie and his wife live at the end of the village," he said without looking up. “I haven't seen them for several days."

A flicker of concern crossed Norah's face as a suspicion took hold.

She hurriedly led Marlin to the address the man had mentioned.

Norah knocked on the door persistently for over ten minutes, but no response came. The gnawing feeling in her mind was proving true.

Just as she was about to force her way in, a neighbor appeared.

"Are you looking for Reggie's family?" They moved out three days ago, "the neighbor informed them. "They said their son was taking them to the city for a better life, and they wouldn't return.”

Norah's suspicions confirmed. Frustration surged through her, and she pounded on the door. Marlin had mentioned seeing Justin near the village; perhaps Justin had been coordinating with Ivy and her husband to escape. Norah had arrived too late.

Norah and Marlin had done everything they could to locate Ivy's family, but they were still too late.

When Marlin realized the situation, he quickly pulled out his phone and made a call.

“Don't fret, Norah. I'm going to have someone track down Justin immediately. They've probably fled together."

Norah intervened and said in a calm voice, "No need. I have a different approach."

She had planned to confront Ivy face-to-face, but Ivy outsmarted her.

Once Norah's intentions became clear, Ivy had made a quick getaway.

Norah's smirk widened. Ivy's attempt to flee confirmed it; she clearly knew some secrets.

"We'll track you down, even if you flee overseas.”

Marlin was curious about Norah's strategy, but she left without a word.

He sighed internally. He was unsure of the nature of Norah's relationship with the individuals she sought, but it was clear they held great significance to her.

He then phoned Gerry and instructed him to monitor the trio's whereabouts and attempt to pinpoint their location.

Gerry sighed to himself. Not being a police officer, how could he handle that?

Norah ascended the hill again in silence. On her way back to Marlin's car, she saw the men she had knocked out in the woods the previous night.

Upon catching sight of her, they let out a scream and ran off as if she were a monster.
