Chapter 370:
The atmosphere was thick with disdainful glances as everyone absorbed Norah's words.
Iker and Hank, seasoned managers, wore expressions dripping with mockery.
Managing a small company was no easy feat, let alone attempting to manage the Wilson Group, which would be
even more daunting.
Effective management required extensive experience, which was nearly impossible to achieve without it.
Iker knew this reality firsthand, acknowledging that even Gilda, mentored by his brother, faced challenges in
guiding Scott Group in the right direction.
As a result, the company was in dire straits, worsening by the day, causing considerable concern and financial
strain for Iker. He firmly believed that things would be different if he were in charge.
Hank kept his gaze fixed downward, concealing any trace of contempt and ridicule.
“If you believe that management is as straightforward as what's written in textbooks, you're in for a rude
awakening.”
Drawing from his personal experience of taking charge of a small company, Hank was acutely aware of the

far surpassed the simplistic theories found in textbooks.
“Managing a company is a tougher nut to crack than you might imagine.”

Norah glanced at them but chose not to contest their skepticism.
Having successfully turned around Bryson’s near-bankrupt company, Norah believed she also possessed the
skills to handle a listed company.
However, Iker doubted Norah’s and Gilda’s company management competency and suspected they had
presented him with fabricated data.
He was unaware that every property under Gilda’s supervision had experienced a remarkable turnaround,
resulting in significant increases in profit margins. This crucial information remained confidential and hidden from
Iker and his family.
“I have faith in Gilda’s abilities. Thank you for your kindness, but | don’t need it.”
Norah declined their proposal with an icy tone.
Turning her attention to practical matters, Norah inquired, “Is there any arrangement for today’s banquet?”
Her rejection had left everyone looking displeased. Elsa bit her lip, silently berating Norah for her perceived
foolishness.
She couldn’t fathom why Norah would entrust the company to two mere assistants. Wasn't she concerned about
the risk of embezzlement? Surely, the allure of such vast wealth would prove too tempting for anyone to resist.
Mindy glanced nervously around, sensing the palpable tension. She attempted to shift the focus by changing the
subject and lightening the mood.
“Well, this is a welcome-back event to celebrate Norah's return to the Wilson family. You've visited your parents’
graves, and now we'd like to show you their former hand where you'll be residing,” she said with a warm
smile.
Despite Norah's impatience, she couldn't refuse the offer, given Mindy’s impeccable smile and amiable attitude.
“Elsa, lead the way.”
“Sure,” Elsa agreed, glaring at Larry.
“Return with the child. There's no need for you to stay here!”
Larry gripped their child’s hand firmly and nodded.
“Okay.”
Hank directed Hadley to leave as well.

“I'll deal with you when | return,” he warned sternly.
Fearing the consequences, Hadley nodded meekly. Elsa escorted Norah to the villa group in the center of the
manor.
“This is the place where your father and mother used to live. After their passing, it remained vacant,” Elsa
explained as she swung open the villa’s front door, stirring a cloud of dust particles into the air.
Mindy instinctively raised her hand to shield her nose from the dust.
“The room they prepared for you is on the second floor. Would you like to take a look?”
Norah surveyed the villa’s decor and felt a warm ambiance. Everything had its place, creating a sense of
completeness. The soothing color palette exuded a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It was easy to imagine that
her parents were gentle souls.
When Bernice married into the Wilson family, Mindy had envied her good fortune.
Bernice had a handsand powerful husband from the Wilson family, and it seemed like she was living a
charmed life.
However, the joy was short-lived. After Bernice gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, her baby was cruelly taken
from her shortly after birth, leaving her heartbroken. Despite the outward display of love and affection between
Norah's parents, Mindy could sense the underlying distance between them.
