Chapter: 718
She was financially secure; why would she use someone else's money?
Upon returning home, Norah turned on her computer in the bedroom and logged into a website to control the cameras remotely and view the feed of the bugs and cameras.
She had purchased the devices herself and conducted personal tests on them.
She first accessed the camera in Iker's study.
The camera was installed on the ceiling, capturing everything in the room.
In the footage, Iker entered the study somewhat unsteadily and shut the door loudly, still not completely sober.
He had indeed consumed too much alcohol and felt a bit disoriented during dinner. When Mindy mentioned that Norah had left by car, he praised her high alcohol tolerance.
Settling at his desk, he turned on his computer, unlocked a drawer with a key, and began to organize a report.
Maybe it was the alcohol clouding his judgment, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the sequence of these reports was wrong. He was certain he had placed this month's report on the top.
He had no idea that Norah had misplaced it carelessly.
The computer switched on, and suddenly, Iker noticed the screen was blank.
He tapped the back of the computer and muttered, "That's odd. Why isn't the computer working?"
He felt restless not being able to figure out what was wrong with the financial records, unlike his son who didn't concern himself much with the company's matters.
Iker always dreamt of obtaining more wealth for his family. He never anticipated that after his brother's death, the inheritance would go to Norah.
He had initially dismissed the news of his brother and sister-in-law going out to search for their child as a rumor. However, after his brother's death, Gilda had returned with a paternity test report.
Five minutes later, with the computer still malfunctioning, Iker became anxious and called out to the butler.
“Find a computer technician."
The manor was spacious enough to have all the talents available whenever needed.
Before long, a middle-aged man arrived at the door with a toolbox strapped to his back.
Meanwhile, Norah had changed into more comfortable household clothes, grabbed some snacks from the table, and settled in to enjoy Iker's predicament.
She was curious to see how Iker would react to the surprise she had set up.
"Karl, come over here and take a look. The computer screen just went blank," Iker called out.
The staff employed by Iker were highly reliable, so Iker felt secure letting this man work on his computer.
Karl set his toolbox down and began inspecting the computer.
