Chapter: 1339

“Yes. My wife was Bernice's servant. Iker and Mindy bought her off. She was the one who abandoned Norah when she was a baby," Reggie explained.

Norah's suspicions were confirmed. The missing Ivy was indeed the key witness.

No wonder Iker and his family panicked when they saw her. They wanted her dead to silence her forever.

Gilda and Chayce exchanged a glance, both appalled by Iker's shamelessness.

Norah's parents were compassionate individuals. Upon assuming control of the Wilson family, they opted to assist Iker and his family instead of expelling them from the family.

The saying holds true: There is no genuine familial affection in affluent families.

To Norah's surprise, her parents were still alive. Ivy had done something remarkable.

"Why save them?" Norah asked, baffled.

Iker wanted Calvin and Bernice dead. If they were severely injured, Justin could've just left them to die. Why did he choose to rescue them?

"My son thought we could extort more money from the Wilson family later. But every cent we got from Iker went into their medical care,"

Reggie answered.

No wonder the Lee family was poor and pitiful.

Norah no longer felt like digging deeper. She tucked away her pocket watch and waved her hand dismissively. "Take him away."

Gilda and Chayce led him out and then closed the door behind them, leaving Norah alone with her thoughts.

At last, she had a moment to process everything.

Iker's scheming had begun over two decades ago. He stood back and watched, almost as if enjoying a show, while her parents frantically searched for her after she disappeared.

Iker had hoped she would die. But she was a survivor. After enduring so much, she managed to return to Glophia and back to the Wilson family.

Norah gripped the sheets tightly. All her life she believed her parents had died in that car accident. Unbeknownst to her, they were alive!

She pictured their lives, miserable and confined in a windowless cellar, enduring Ivy's mistreatment.

Anger sparked in her eyes. Norah was aware of Iker's devious schemes against her but had always dismissed them. There was no familial affection between them.

But she couldn't believe that Iker would harm her father, who was his brother and had grown up with him. It appeared that familial ties carried no weight for Iker once money and fame entered the equation.

A scornful smile crossed Norah's lips.

Her father deserved better than this betrayal.

Iker and his family should be thrown out of the Wilson family.
