Chapter: 710

Despite her efforts, the other drawers yielded nothing but various financial statements for the company.

Puzzled by the secrecy surrounding these documents, Norah couldn't fathom their significance.

Approaching the desk's computer, she eschewed leisurely browsing in favor of swiftly copying all files onto a USB drive.

Turning her attention to the surveillance system, she located the program responsible, promptly purging its data and rendering it obsolete beyond repair.

Expecting to uncover solid evidence, Norah's disappointment grew as she found only mundane financial statements within Iker's study.

Frustration mounting, she directed her ire at Iker's computer, preparing a subtle retaliation.

After completing her mission, Norah returned to her parents’ villa by early evening.

She loosened her hair tie, letting her locks cascade freely down her back.

Gilda and Chayce, visibly tense in the villa, breathed a collective sigh of relief at Norah's return. Without probing too deeply, they simply offered her a glass of water.

They had doubted the feasibility of Norah's mission amidst the tight security of the manor.

To spare Norah any potential embarrassment, they refrained from inquiring about the outcome.

"Gilda, I'll provide you both with access to a website. In your spare moments, listen and distill key information for me. If anything seems suspicious, notify me immediately."

Gilda's hand trembled slightly as she held the glass. Norah had succeeded! That was remarkable!

“Understood.”

Norah gave her shoulder a grateful pat. “Thank you."

“It's our pleasure."

Determined to uncover the culprit behind Norah's parents' ordeal, they were prepared to devote themselves tirelessly to the task.

Though the villa had been tidied up somewhat, it still felt empty, lacking the warmth and vitality of life, its atmosphere cold and desolate.

On her previous visits, Norah had explored the different rooms of the villa, such as a home cinema, a dance room, and a music room.

Her room undoubtedly stood as the grandest.

Taking a sip of water, she set the glass down on the table.

“I'll go upstairs for some rest. Feel free to leave if you have other matters to attend to."

Pushing open the door to her bedroom, she found it immaculately clean.

The bedding had been replaced with fresh sheets, still adorned in pink.
