Chapter: 618

Mindy handed Norah some flowers and said, “Norah, your parents have been waiting for you for quite some time."

Tears filled Norah's eyes, and she blinked quickly to hide them.

Standing before her parents’ tombs, Norah felt a mix of emotions, hard to describe. Family ties were truly strong.

She stood there, holding the flowers, and bowed her head.

Silently, she swore she could hunt down the killer.

She put the flowers right by the tombstones.

She studied the tombs with a serious expression, then pursed her lips, turned, and walked away.

Staying longer would only deepen her sadness.

Outside, when Elsa, Hank, and the others saw Norah coming out, they gathered around her.

"Done already, Norah? You can stay longer. They must miss you a lot."

After Norah left, Elsa had been well cared for by Calvin and Bernice during her childhood.

But influenced by her parents’ words, Elsa believed their property rightfully belonged to her family, as they had no children of their own.

Elsa gently nudged Norah and said, "If you're uncomfortable with my parents here, just ask them to leave. We're here for you today."

Hank agreed, "Yeah, it's your first day back, Norah. You do what feels right."

Norah adjusted her mood and said, "I've got time to do it."

Elsa's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Are you thinking of living in the manor? There are lots of villas, but it's pretty far from Glophia, which could be a hassle."

Hank suggested, "Gilda and Chayce are managing your father's assets, aren't they? We could get them to buy you a villa in Glophia. You'd just have to come back for festivals."

It seemed they didn't want Norah to live in the manor.

Norah noticed it and grew curious.

"I decided as soon as I got here today. I'm not staying in the manor,"

Norah replied.

Elsa and Hank breathed a silent sigh of relief.

They couldn't exactly figure out why, but they felt uneasy about Norah staying in the manor. Maybe they saw Norah as standing in the way of their hopes to inherit family property.

Iker had successfully swayed the family's opinions and outlooks.
