Chapter 263

Principal Norman stared at Kevin for a long moment, his initial shock giving way to curiosity. He couldn’t understand why Kevin was so invested in this story. “Why does this matter to you?” he asked, his tone edged with genuine confusion. “Even if the kidnapped girl wasn’t Norah, how does it concern you?”

The principal’s question didn’t seem malicious, but rather a reflection of his own bafflement.

Kevin’s sharp gaze softened slightly as he replied, his tone measured. “I’m investigating something, and this incident raised some doubts. It wasn’t Norah who was kidnapped, but for some reason, she remembers it as if it were her. The girl had the same name as Norah. Why would she have this memory unless she’s been made to believe it? Why hide the truth?”

Principal Norman’s expression wavered.

Kevin leaned forward, his voice steady but probing. “This happened at the school you managed. Can you give me a proper explanation?”

The older man sighed deeply, his posture slumping under the weight of the conversation. “I’ll tell you what I know, though I don’t have all the answers,” he said finally.
