Chapter: 1429

The man shivered and said, "That beautiful woman tied me up here. I swear I know nothing.”

Iker kicked him fiercely. “You're pathetic. As a man, you couldn't even overpower a woman!"

He was so enraged that he forgot Norah had also taken down the security guards at the door.

The man curled up in pain, silently enduring the kick. He was accustomed to rich people taking out their frustrations on him.

Elsa's eyes were red with anger, and her neck throbbed painfully. She had hoped to capture some intimate scenes between Norah and the man on video to sell for a good price on the black market.

Instead, she and her mother had been knocked out by Norah and locked up with this unattractive naked man. She was furious.

“Dad, has the birthday party started? What did Norah say at the party?" Elsa inquired.

“Both of you are useless and you are letting me down!" Iker roared.

He shot a disgusted look at the man curled up into a ball, then turned and walked away.

"Why weren't Ivy and Reggie taken care of back then? You haven't managed this well. Now it's become a mess to sort out."

Mindy hurried after Iker, shocked upon hearing the two names.

"I paid them a hefty sum to fake their deaths and stay away from Glophia forever. Why bring them up now?"

“Humph! Today, Norah brought them right to me. I only just found out they were in her grasp. She must have been plotting this for a while, just waiting to spring it at my birthday party."

Elsa swallowed hard. "What happened then? Where's Norah now?"

"She ran off and didn't even bother with her boyfriend."

Norah ran off? Why would she do that?

Watching Iker's composed demeanor, Mindy realized that maybe he hadn't had much faith in them to begin with, knowing that they might not complete their mission.

Elsa clenched her teeth. Norah was so deceitful. She had thought the task would be straightforward, but it turned out Norah had been tricking them the entire time.

Luckily, she had tricked Norah too. The bank card didn't really have fifty million, and Norah might be upset when she found out later!

With these resentful thoughts, Elsa longed to understand more about the situation. However, seeing her father's detached back, she bit her lip and decided to go downstairs to ask Larry about what had transpired at the banquet.

Norah sprinted in her high heels, hiking up her skirt as she moved.

First, she needed a car. Then, she needed to locate her parents.

The wind howled in her ears. Her heart raced, and the metallic taste of blood filled her mouth from clenching her teeth too hard.

When she reached the open space outside the banquet hall, she scanned the area and spotted Sean's car. She pressed her Lips together and unlocked the car with her fingerprint. A spare key was inside.
