NovelEnglishChapter 426:
Norah's adventurous past had instilled in her an unwavering confidence for this mission. With a reassuring pat on
the shoulders of Gilda and Chayce, Norah exuded a calm sense of purpose.
Tears welled in Gildas eyes. She longed to express her concern, urging Norah to prioritize her safety in honor of
her deceased parents. But faced with Norah's resolute expression, the words remained unspoken.
All Gilda and Chayce could do was silently watch as Norah disappeared into the distance.
“Chayce, | truly can’t fathom where she found the courage for such a feat. What are your thoughts?” Gilda
wondered aloud, her fingers idly tracing the leaves in the flowerbed.
“She’s younger than us, yet her bravery and determination surpass ours.”
“Gilda, we've yet to uncover any information about her past.”

Chayce’s expression remained stoic.
“She is exceedingly mysterious. Do not underestimate her.”
Gilda sighed, her heart weighed down with worry.
“Alas, seeing her in such situations is truly heartbreaking. | can’t help but feel sorry for her.”

Meanwhile, Norah methodically followed her mental blueprint, successfully planting bugs and cameras in Elsa's
and Hank's bedroom. These sophisticated cameras, purchased at a premium from the black market, featured
adjustable monitoring angles via remote controls. The bugs, equipped with long-lasting batteries, ensured
extended standby operation.
In the villa, the regular bedrooms were left unguarded. Iker lay motionless on his bed, vulnerable to Norah's
intrusion. Yet, the real challenge lay in Iker’s study.
Rumors had circulated about Iker's meticulous protection of his study, and without a key, entry seemed
impossible. Any attempt to breach the lock risked heightening the entire manor’s security, potentially exposing
her installations.
Moreover, two security personnel remained stationed at the entrance to the study.
Norah rounded a corner in the corridor, her gaze fixating on a square ventilation duct nestled in the ceiling.
Unnoticed by most, the small duct presented a potential entry into the study. Only someone of childlike stature
could navigate its narrow passageway. However, Norah moved the vent cover aside with ease and, with
practiced agility, slid inside like a sleek fish. Her bones contorted into an astonishing arc, compressing her form
to half its usual size.
Once inside, Norah skillfully placed the cameras and bugs within Iker’s study. Her eyes met the surveillance
camera nestled in the corner, and she paused momentarily before continuing her exploration.

The bookshelf was filled with volumes on management and finance, their well-worn pages bearing testament to
frequent perusal.
Approaching the desk, she encountered locked drawers. With practiced hands, she retrieved a wire and skillfully
manipulated the mechanism until it yielded. Her proficiency in lock-picking remained undiminished. Inside the
drawer were various financial statements related to Iker’'s company, guarded like prized possessions, concealed
from prying eyes.
After perusing the files, Norah's patience wore thin, and she relocked the drawer in frustration. Despite her
efforts, the other drawers yielded nothing but more company financial statements. Puzzled by the secrecy
surrounding these documents, Norah couldn't fathom their significance.
Approaching the desk’s computer, she bypassed any leisurely browsing and instead quickly copied all files onto a
USB drive. Turning her attention to the surveillance system, she located the program responsible for managing
the cameras and promptly purged its data, rendering it obsolete beyond repair.
Expecting to uncover solid evidence, Norah's disappointment grew as she found nothing but mundane financial
statements within Iker’s study. Frustration mounting, she directed her ire at Iker’'s computer, preparing for a
subtle retaliation.
