Chapter: 1422

The guests made mocking comments to Norah.

After all, it was solely the business of the Wilson family. Therefore, they preferred to watch the drama unfold in front of them.

As with Marlene's previous return to the Wilson family, they enjoyed gawking and were especially fascinated by the personal matters of others.

However, Norah was not fooled by Iker's statements. She could tell he was merely performing, leaving the sincerity of his feelings in question.

Only Iker truly knew the extent of his genuine emotions.

"Uncle, before I left for Silverdale, you encouraged me to visit more often. But now that I've returned, this is how you treat me," Norah said sadly.

She, too, knew how to put on an act and immediately adopted a sorrowful expression.

“I attended Marlene's previous homecoming banquet, but I lacked any proof. Today, I'm here to reclaim my rightful place. Uncle, I demand the Wilson family's possessions that should have been mine from the start."

"Wow, you're really shameless! Such audacity!"

"How could she dare to request the Wilson family's assets?"

"I wouldn't spare a dime for a beggar like her on the street. What an attitude!"

Matteo and Kayla exchanged glances. They had just learned a bit about their son's partner, and they never imagined her nature could be so questionable.

Seeing the Wilson family's wealth, she seemed eager to seize a piece of the fortune.

Corrin was surprised by Norah's audacity. They, too, had hoped to gain something from the Wilsons.

Derek and Madeline exchanged looks, finding the situation amusing.

The Wilsons were bound to retaliate after Norah's bold statement.

Derek, who had been in contact with Hank for a while, was aware that Hank was quick to seek revenge over even the smallest slight.

He couldn't help but feel an odd satisfaction at the thought of Norah facing difficulties.

Ever since their divorce, Norah's path had been smooth, while his luck had been nothing but bad. Of course, he was upset about it.

When he heard Norah was lost and feared dead, he felt a mix of pity and smug satisfaction, thinking she got what she deserved. After all, why should she have had it so easy?

And when she returned alive, he couldn't help but think, in his bitterness, that perhaps she should have stayed gone.

Many shared Derek's sentiment as Norah's presence was irritating to a lot of people.

At Iker's signal, Hank stepped forward and said, "Miss Wilson, just because you say so doesn't make you a member of my family.”

“Do you have the courage to take a DNA test?" Norah asked with a raised eyebrow.
