Chapter: 1427

Hank signaled to the security guards around the stage with a discreet wink, and they swiftly began to pursue Norah.

Norah's mind was consumed with concern for her parents' current situation. Facing the hostile bodyguards ahead and the smug Wilson family members behind her, she struggled to maintain her composure.

If she let panic take over now, it would only serve to satisfy Iker and his family.

Drugging her was merely a preliminary tactic. Their primary objective was to target her parents.

Norah's face went pale. The thought of what might happen to her parents if Iker caught them was too awful to bear.

Her heart skipped a beat because she was too scared to imagine it.

The dress and the high heels felt like a burden now. Her eyes sharpened as a new plan took shape.

Before the security guards could reach her, Norah suddenly kicked aside the two people blocking her, flung open the main door of the banquet hall, and vanished in an instant.

Iker and Hank were stunned, their eyes wide with surprise. Was Norah really that incredible? How did she escape so easily?

The Wilson family's security guards were completely useless!

With so many people around, Iker held his tongue. Instead, he shot his son a glance, signaling him to send the men after Norah.

The manor was huge, and Norah had only just left the banquet hall.

She couldn't have gone very far.

The bodyguards around Sean didn't move to help Norah, but glanced at him uncertainly when they saw what was happening.

Without orders from their boss, they were unsure of what to do.

Sean pushed down his unease. When the people Norah mentioned still hadn't appeared, he sensed something was off and quickly set up a backup plan for her.

"You can go now, but these three must be kept under strict watch."

They were key witnesses, and he couldn't risk anything happening to them.

As for Norah, who had dashed out... Sean was eager to follow, but Iker coughed from the stage.

Iker's composure was truly impressive. Even after what Norah had accused him of, he managed to speak to everyone with a smile.

"My apologies for this scene. I never imagined a young woman would cause such a commotion at my birthday party. I hope it hasn't disturbed you. Rest assured, the Wilson family will not let Norah off the hook. Please, have a seat."

“Mr. Wilson, she's entirely to blame. She gathered a few people and spun a wild tale, hoping to pressure you into accepting her as your niece because you two have the same last name. That's nothing but wishful. thinking."

"She only caused a scene today because there are so many people at the party. Otherwise, why didn't she protest at Marlene's family recognition banquet a few days ago?"

“She's trying to use public opinion to worm her way into a wealthy family. Does she really believe it'll be that easy? She's even dragged the dead into this..."
