Chapter 364:
Fate wasn’t kind to Norah.
First, she was abandoned at the border, then taken away from her country.
It wasn’t until she was grown that she made her way back to her homeland.
Gathering her thoughts, she started to take in her surroundings and speak.
Noticing the shift in Norah’s mood, Gilda switched topics and began describing their immediate environment.
“This manor belongs to the Wilson family.
It’s a collection of villas.
The central hall of the manor is where we'll have the banquet.
It's like half of this place is yours.”
The Wilson family had lived in the manor for generations.
It covered thousands of acres and had dozens of villas offering a mix of relaxation, entertainment, and rest in a

Everywhere one looked, there were pavilions, rockeries, streams, small ponds, weeping willows, ponds full of
water lilies, shaded paths, and green areas filled with plants and flowers, all thoughtfully arranged.
Given its size, walking from the entrance to the banquet hall wasn’t practical, so after a few minutes, they took a
shuttle to get there.
After pondering for a moment, Gilda decided to share her thoughts.
“Miss Norah, you know there's a lot of gossip about you in Glophia.”
“When your uncle's family meets you, they'll likely bring up these rumors and the Carter family issues.
Just ignore them.
I've got it under control.”
She was worried that Norah might lose her cool.
Through their daily chats about work, Gilda had cto understand that Norah didn’t take losses lying down, a
characteristic that really shone through in her job.
Norah was also quite upset about her uncle’s family trying to take over her father’s estate, and Gilda was
concerned that Norah might snap and confront them.
With so many people and problems against her, Norah could find herself in a tough spot.
Yet, Norah appeared calm as she confidently stated, “I know what to do.”
She was genuinely interested to see what her uncle’s family was like in real life, after only having read about
them in documents.
In the grand banquet hall, the family members of Norah's uncle were all there, eagerly anticipating her arrival.
Around the long dinner table, a few of them were chatting.
“Dad, who the hell is Uncle Calvin's daughter? Have you heard anything about her?”
The woman speaking wore a fancy dress, her hairstyle adorned with ivory pearls, and her makeup subtle.
Despite her soft appearance, there was a sharpness in her eyes that made others instinctively wary of her.
“She's four years younger than you.
Shortly after she was born, she went missing, taken by a nanny who ended up taking her own life.”

“We haven't heard anything about her since then.”
The man, middle-aged, swirled his wine as he shared the well-known tale within the Wilson family.
“Dad, | know all that.
I'm asking if you can giveother details.
Where was she previously?”
Elsa Wilson frowned slightly.
Given that her uncle Calvin had led their clan, she was supposed to refer to her cousin, who was four years
younger, with respect due to her position within the family.
The reality just wasn’t sitting right with Elsa.
“Had we known where she was, Calvin wouldn't have lost his life trying to find her, and we wouldn't have lost a
huge part of the family’s fortune to her.”
Iker Wilson's face darkened.
However, Gilda had managed to prove her identity beyond doubt by presenting a thorough paternity test,
effectively confirming her kinship with Calvin.
