NovelEnglishChapter 425:
Gilda assisted Norah as she settled into the car.
“Chayce, proceed to my father’s villa.”
Since Norah's previous visit, she had arranged for a thorough cleaning of that villa, with certain rooms
intentionally left untouched. For instance, Calvin and Bernice’s bedroom, along with Norah's closet. Those were
the areas Norah specifically instructed to remain untouched by the cleaning process.
“Miss Norah, earlier today you mentioned having tasks to attend to, yet you've consumed such a quantity of
alcohol that your thoughts are muddled. What compelled you to indulge to such an extent with them?”
Supporting Norah as she rested her head against her neck, Gilda immediately detected the strong scent of
alcohol. She furrowed her brow.
“Chayce, instruct the kitchen to prepare a glass of honeyed water later.”
Though she hadn’t witnessed the events in the banquet hall firsthand, the murmur of voices hinted at Norah's
significant intake of alcohol. She was now totally inebriated. The exposed skin was all pink, her gaze unfocused,
and she stumbled with each step, scarcely distinguishable from someone under the influence of alcohol.

“I'm not intoxicated.”
“Of course, individuals who are intoxicated often deny it.”

Gilda instinctively retorted.
“I'm not intoxicated.”
“Of course, you're not intoxicated...”
Gilda pivoted her head, locking eyes with Norah's lucid gaze.
“Huh? You've sobered up so quickly?” She hadn't even consumed the honeyed water yet! Norah placed two Mind
Clearing Pills in her mouth and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.
“I'm not intoxicated.”
Having ingested a considerable amount of alcohol, she felt only a slight discomfort.
The occasion of Elsa's birthday banquet presented an unforeseen opportunity. Seizing the moment, she had
deliberately intoxicated the three men to facilitate her plans. Her alcohol tolerance was commendable; before
drinking, she had taken two Mind Clearing Pills, rendering the alcohol ineffectual. Thus, her apparent inebriation
was merely a facade.
Upon leaving the banquet, she had swiftly ingested two additional Mind Clearing Pills in preparation for the
forthcoming task.
Gilda’s eyes widened tically. Had Norah just consumed water? But that seemed impossible. Iker and Hank
were both astute individuals. They would easily discern if Norah had been drinking water instead of alcohol.
As Norah approached to offer her assistance, she had observed the men at the table, their eyelids heavy with
intoxication, struggling to keep their eyes open. The ladies abstaining from alcohol at the table remained lucid.
They were not easily deceived.
Could it be that Norah possessed a resistance to alcohol? Gilda pondered this in her heart.
“Miss Norah, you've consumed quite a bit. Might it be wise to delegate the task to another?”
Norah opened her eyes, and a fierce gleam ignited within them.

“No, I've resolved to proceed. | will undoubtedly accomplish the task today.”
With the aid of the Mind Clearing Pills, her body slowly regained its composure.
Gilda expressed her concern, “Norah Wilson, we're uneasy about you undertaking such a dangerous task!”
“I am aware of the risks. Please refrain from persuading me. Stop near my uncle's villa.”
On the way to the banquet hall, she had methodically memorized the manor’s layout, surveillance spots,
security setup, and staff count, recalling everything distinctly.
She knew there could be absolutely no margin for error. Otherwise, the consequences could be fatal.
What could Chayce do? Naturally, he could only follow Norah's instructions and stop at the designated location.
Shortly after, Gilda and Chayce exited the car, leaving space inside for Norah.
Minutes later, the car door swung open, revealing Norah, clad in practical attire and carrying a small backpack
filled with all the tools necessary for her mission.
“Alright, don’t worry! | know exactly what needs to be done.”
