Chapter 424:
Elsa was truly pissed that Norah had gotten so drunk at her birthday party.
When Gilda took Norah away, Mindy angrily slammed her fork down. Trying to control her anger, she said, “Did
Norah think that drinking with the Wilson men would make our family accept her? That's absurd.”
Norah had been encouraging the three men to drink, and everyone could see it! But because Norah was drinking
too, and the men seemed to enjoy it, no one had said anything to stop her.
But now, with Norah gone, Mindy exploded.
“Even if she’s rich now, she can’t shake off those bad habits. What's the point of showing off how much she can
drink?”
Mindy sneered, feeling even more superior to Norah. After all, Norah had sent an expensive birthday gift to
impress them, and later, she was drinking with the men to try and blend in with this family.

Hadley had a favorable impression of Norah. She judged people by appearances and found Norah stunningly
beautiful the first tshe saw her. Considering Norah's beauty, Hadley would believe anything Norah said.
“Hadley, why are you just standing there? Why not help Hank back to his room?”
Hadley gently put the child in her arms down and then assisted Hank, who had slumped on the table, to stand.
“Mindy, Elsa, I'll take Hank back first.”

She pressed her lips together tightly. Hank's weight was too much, and it made her strain to keep steady.
“Sure, go ahead.”
Mindy didn’t think highly of Hadley, as the latter's family background wasn’t impressive. In her eyes, Hadley was
just a pretty face, who only knew how to play the piano and dance.
If not for Hank's insistence, she wouldn't have allowed Hadley to marry into their family.
Elsa gave Larry, who was wasted, a disapproving look and had a servant escort him back.
“Mom, Norah is drunk. But don’t worry, she won't cause any problems. It's my birthday, and I just want to go out
and enjoy myself.”
And, of course, her plan was to find a handsguy for a one-night stand!
Her eyes gleamed with excitement. It had been a while since she’d gone out for a fling, and her body was eager
for it.
Mindy tapped her on the head.
“You can have fun, but remember to stay within your limits.”
“I know.”
Mindy glanced at the already drunk Iker and instructed a servant to take him to their bedroom.

Iker had two very important rooms: one was the bedroom where he slept with Mindy, and the other was a study
filled with confidential documents. Whenever Iker left, the study was always locked, and sometimes someone
was guarding it. No one would approach the study without Iker’s orders.
The once lively banquet hall was now deserted, except for a table of leftovers. The servants began to clean up.
“Miss Norah can hold her liquor really well!”
“She really resembles her father a lot, especially her face. Their features mirror each other.”
“Now that she’s back, isn't it like a lamb entering a lion’s den? Everyone knows her uncle is eyeing the property
left by her father.”
“Hush, let's not bring this up again in the future. Ever since her dad passed away, it’s like we're not supposed to
talk about him anymore.”
“Do you really need all this gossip while cleaning up?” The butler appeared behind the servants with a stern
expression, frightening them into speeding up their cleaning unconsciously. Iker trusted the butler with
everything. If they upset him, they'd also be kicked out of the manor.
