Chapter: 837

Norah had learned that the hard way, thanks to her tumultuous childhood, but it had served her well to this day.

Meanwhile, at Iker's villa, Iker called Hank over to discuss something important.

"It's been ages since Norah returned, yet she shows no inclination to share her assets. Shouldn't we take more assertive action to make her share those assets than just wait passively?" Iker proposed, looking at Hank.

They were in the study and, before entering, had made sure no one was around to eavesdrop on their discussion, which was mainly about coercing Norah to split her assets with them.

Their plan was to use the family card to coax Norah into handing over her assets, so they reunited with her.

Unfortunately, things weren't going as planned. Norah might treat them as family, but she was a penny-pincher.

Iker had waited long enough to just sit around and do nothing to get their share of the assets.

They couldn't take action before because they had no idea who was that missing girl. It should be easy to deal with the problem now that they knew who to target.

Hank wanted his family to be wealthier, and acquiring Norah's assets was the only way to see that to fruition.

"Norah isn't managing the company. She has entrusted it to Gilda and Chayce. It's frustrating to see her assets remain stagnant and unprofitable because of this," Iker lamented.

He fully believed Norah's assets would have expanded and multiplied if he and Hank managed them instead of those two.

Hank had the same sentiments. “Do you have other plans in mind, Dad?

Whatever they are, I'll support you."

They had to work together and be more proactive if they wanted the assets in their hands.

After all, as for the accident of Norah's parents, they all had..

"Norah should have died when she was trafficked, but she survived and lived. I think letting her live for ten more years is enough. Since she's being ungrateful that we spared her life, she might as well disappear for good," Iker coldly said.

"She wouldn't have survived if those assholes did their jobs right,"

Hank said, his expression turning grim. "It was all Grandpa's fault.

If he had given us the family assets, none of these would have happened. Those assets should belong to us. Whoever gets in the way must die."

The hostility in Hank's eyes told Iker he was dead serious with the last line.

Patting Hank's shoulder, Iker said, "I knew you'd see eye to eye with me, son. But we must tread even more carefully this time. Norah is in a relationship with the Scott family's heir. Even if we want her gone so badly, we can't risk having that blood in our hands.

I've already set up two baits. Let's wait if those people would come after Norah for money and finish her off."

Hank frowned. "Sean is a land mine in our plan."

The Scott family thrived until they gained a strong footing in the business world, making them almost untouchable. Iker knew they would be asking for death if they got on the bad side of the Scott family.
