Chapter: 1254

“Alright. Thank you, Amy. If Nora wishes to leave Silverdale, accompany her to prevent any mishaps."

“Don't worry, Sir. I understand."

The two ended their call.

At the Wilsons' house, a palpable cloud of gloom lingered in the air.

Iker slammed his hand on the table in frustration. "Norah can't possibly be alive. Falling off a cliff is certainly fatal."

He had scrutinized the photos. In the pitch-black night, Norah had plummeted down a steep cliff. He had covertly kept tabs on the Scott family's movements. The demolished car and broken phone were clear indicators that Norah had tumbled into the river, and her body had never been recovered.

Norah was declared dead; she couldn't just reappear alive.

Hank's face fell. "If Sean himself said it, it's likely true."

Elsa scoffed. “Remember the woman Sean brought to the banquet? If Norah wasn't dead, why would he find himself a substitute for Norah?"

Hank rubbed his temples. “The substitute was the one who informed me that Norah is still alive."

He was surprised that Marlene was involved with Sean, let alone passing on such unsettling news.

"Maybe Norah has been out of sight to mend her wounds. She did tumble off that cliff, but what if she was rescued?"

Mindy snapped irritably, "We went through the trouble of eliminating Norah's parents, only for Norah herself to reappear. Now, we're left in Limbo about her fate. It's maddening."

For the Wilsons, Norah's existence was a constant threat. If she was alive, she could reclaim everything at any moment.

After all, Calvin's will explicitly named Norah as the primary heir, followed by the rest of the family.

Only her complete absence would allow them to truly enjoy their newfound wealth.

Iker, of course, understood this. It was why he'd previously arranged for killers.

"Any details beyond her being alive?"

Hank divulged, "Marlene mentioned that the Scott family traveled to Bellfolk with their adopted daughter for a piano competition. They brought the news upon their return.”

The Scott family saw no reason to conceal this information from Marlene; they considered it non-confidential.

For them, Norah's survival was a happy development.

For the Wilsons, it was a bolt from the blue.

Hadley, standing next to Hank, was thrilled about Norah's survival.

She silently clenched her fists, not showing her excitement on her face.
