Chapter: 624

“In this family, we respect our elders and care for the young. You might not be familiar with this since you've just returned, but it's not right to speak to your elders in such a manner. Norah, you should apologize."

Mindy tugged at Hank's sleeve and interjected, “Hank, Norah just got back. Why are you being so harsh? She doesn't know us well yet and thinks we took her parents' belongings. It's fine. She'll see how kind we really are soon enough."

Despite her reassuring words, Mindy was inwardly cursing Norah. Her return had already caused them significant trouble.

To make a good impression on Norah, she needed to choose her words carefully.

Meanwhile, Iker secretly resented Norah.

Elsa yelled in distress, "Mom! Norah accused you of stealing. How can you still defend her? I can't accept it."

Mindy and Iker were fully aware of the truth.

They quickly dragged Hank and Elsa out of the villa.

The sound of Hank and Elsa's complaints faded into the wind.

Norah had mixed feelings. As she suspected, they felt entitled to take whatever they wanted since her parents were no longer around. If they found something valuable in the villa, they simply took it.

Norah wasn't sure of the exact value of the antiques on the shelf, but given everything else, she assumed they were quite precious.

And Iker had taken a lot of them.

The villa had been vacant for three years, gathering a thick layer of dust.

Norah wasn't bothered by it. She wandered through each room on the ground floor, pondering what her parents might have done here. What would they have said? And what was the atmosphere like among them?

Upon ascending to the second floor, she noticed a special sign on a door.

"Norah's Bedroom", it said.

The door was painted a soft pink, adorned with a crown symbol in the middle painted in light yellow, with the orange lettering positioned beneath the crown.

It was the bedroom Norah's parents had prepared for her.

Norah's heart skipped a beat as she grabbed the dusty doorknob and twisted it downward. With a gentle push, the door opened wide and revealed the huge bedroom.

It was surprisingly much spacious than she had expected.

In the center was a big bed with its pink bed sheet covers and pillows covered with dust.

A desk sat on the side, across from the dressing table. The bathroom and closet were separate and on opposite sides of the room.

When Norah opened the closet, she was surprised to see many clothes and accessories inside that were of different styles from childhood to adulthood.

A particular long dress caught her attention. When she touched it, a piece of bead from the fabric fell off.
