Why did he ask such a silly question earlier? The relationship between Gerald and North was obvious.

Desmond approached and stood beside North. He sighed. “Ms. North, I had no idea you were related to Mr. Gerald. You hid it quite well.”

Gerald halted.

North’s heart skipped a beat. “W-What?!”

Could he have figured it out? No way! She had secretly married Gerald. Ronald often kept in contact with Peacevale University. If he found out...

Her thoughts drifted further away, and she became increasingly anxious.

Desmond then exclaimed, “I never thought you were Mr. Gerald’s niece! I always knew he had a younger relative, but I never expected it to be you! Ms. North, with such a background, you’ve kept a low profile. You truly are the epitome of a model student at Peacevale University.”

North was struck breathless by Desmond’s words.

She was afraid that Desmond might say something that would make her feel uncomfortable, so she avoided talking to him by grabbing Gerald and headed toward

    North’s expression froze. As she met Gerald’s gaze, she felt a shiver down her spine.She still could not tell Gerald about her true motives for marrying him just yet.There were still too many uncertainties and illogical points when it came to the South family, the pendant her mother left her, and why one had to marry someone of the South family to get the will.Before North could figure it all out, she did not want anyone else to interfere.Besides… for some reason, she also did not want Gerald to know that she was using him.North was a little cowed to meet his eyes. She lowered her head and said, “I-I’m only concerned about you.”Gerald only gave a mysterious chuckle.Last night, North had been feeling ill at ease. But after finding out that he knew calligraphy, she had obviously perked up.That was why Gerald guessed that his knowledge of calligraphy was why North felt better.But why did she care whether he knew calligraphy?Gerald said casually, “So, it’s only because

    Henry’s expression turned darker and darker. “That ungrateful wench! I just knew she would make trouble for me at Peacevale! I said early on that she shouldn’t be allowed to go to such a good university!”Ian closed his eyes. When North had first been brought home, he had been the one to suggest spending some money to let North study at Peacevale. But now…Ian let out another sigh. “Melinda, I’ll go and speak to Mr. White personally tomorrow. Peacevale owes the Myers family a favor, after all. You stay at home and rest for a few days. After that, you’ll be back in class in no time.”Light flashed in Linda’s eyes. She knew about this favor. In reality, it had happened more than twenty years ago, and it was the last principal who owed this favor to Estella Smithson.Now, they would have to use that b*tch’s mother to save Melinda… Linda really wondered how infuriated North would be by this.…The next day, while she was at school, North saw Ian between classes.North smiled.

    The favor owed was such a huge one. Now, it was being wasted to plead Melinda’s case. The Myers family really had bad judgment.But at the same time, Desmond also felt bad for North.She had been slandered and bullied. It had taken so much for her to prove her innocence, but her family went all out to defend Melinda. At the same time, they cared not a bit for what North had suffered.Desmond sighed and tried to give it one last shot. “Mr. Myers, sometimes, you should shift your focus away from Melinda and look more closely at North. If you do, you will find that she is infinitely better than Melinda.”Ian truly could not admit that North could be any better than Melinda. He waved it away.“It’s impossible, Mrs. White. You don’t know our family’s matters, so you shouldn’t say such things willy-nilly. Melinda is an illegitimate daughter and has suffered unspeakably since she was young. That’s why we dote on her so much. North is not the same. She chose the wrong path on her own.”H

    North was speechless at this. For some reason, she had a feeling that she had just been played. Meanwhile, Linda was coming out of the car with Melinda.From the side came the disdainful whispers of her classmates. “What’s Melinda Myers doing back here again?”“Lena Johnson was expelled, but how could the instigator be back in school?”“It’s so great to be in an influential family…”“She’s just an illegitimate daughter. North never used her family’s clout. It’s just this b*stard throwing her weight around.”Melinda’s face cycled through different expressions. She walked off to an empty spot where she finally lost control and started to cry.“Mom! See how they talk about me! Why can’t you let Dad punish them?”In reality, Henry originally couldn’t bear to watch Melinda suffer and said that he would have the students who bullied her kicked out of Peacevale University. But Linda had stopped him.Linda said comfortingly, “Melinda, this matter has spread to the South family. If we

    Gerald smiled as a fingertip gently ended the call. With that, the screen showing the incoming call vanished.North, who had not seen the caller ID, was completely speechless.Lazily, Geralds asked, “Mrs. Howard, is there something you’re trying to hide? Why did you save my contact with that sort of name?”North’s brain began to work quickly.What did Gerald mean? What had Charlotte saved his number as? Could it be something like “Hubby” or “Darling Husband” or something similar? Anyway, it had to be something sickly sweet.Before North could speak, Gerald said meaningfully, “It seems that you don’t say what you mean, Mrs. Howard.”North swallowed hard. She wanted to explain that she had not been the one to save his contact with that name. However, if she said that someone else had done it, it would feel even more embarrassing.She decided that she would fake it to the end. “I just don’t want to announce our relationship to the world. It’s not like I don’t consider you my husban

    The villa had been left by North’s mother and cared for by the butler, Mr. Jameson. That was why North had kept her mother’s things there.North took the familiar route all the way to a small intersection. Just as she was about to step onto the property, she suddenly heard the sound of Mr. Jameson crying out and begging. “Mr. Lane, no! These are Ms. Estella’s things!“Ms. Lane, please don’t do this. Ms. Estella has already passed on, you…”North’s eyebrows scrunched up as she sped up. Next came an angry male voice.“Preposterous! My sister is now Mrs. Myers. What are you trying to imply by calling her Ms. Lane? You look down on us? Marvelous! You’re only a butler in a hick town, but you dare not acknowledge my sister’s position. You’re going to be in trouble!”Before the man could slap Mr. Jameson, the door to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open.North strode quickly up to the man. She gripped his wrist and twisted it forcefully.The man screamed in pain. When he saw who

    Linda added fuel to the fire. “We’re all one big family. Aren’t Estella’s things your things, Henry? But North says we don’t have the right to take them. She even said we’re intruding on private property! She’s simply too much!”Henry was immediately furious. “North, Estella’s assets naturally belong to me after her death. How could you attack someone just because Linda took some things? Get on your knees now!”North glanced at Henry and said, “Mr. Henry, is there something wrong with you? My mother had a will. What does any of this have to do with you?”Henry choked as his rage worsened. “It’s just some old stuff. Why can’t you let it go? Melinda is going to visit the South family, so you have to give your mother’s jewelry to her!”North leaned against the doorframe and quirked up an eyebrow. “Melinda is just an illegitimate daughter. What makes her worthy of that?”Linda cried harder. “North, how could you speak so cruelly? Melinda is your little sister! Her happiness is also yo

    “I didn’t think it was your mother’s photo album. Ah, Henry was right. That thing brings bad luck. It’s better to burn it.”North’s blood seemed to freeze. She suddenly rushed up and clamped her hands around Linda’s neck. She said slowly, “You burned it?”Linda sobbed. “Henry, save me!”Henry was annoyed by all this. “It’s just a bunch of dumb pictures. Let them be burned!”North suddenly felt a little dizzy. Her mother did not have many pictures left. She had not brought them back when she returned to the Myers family because she knew that they would not be safe.Yet, she never imagined that Linda would come to Euston Creek and go to such extents to burn her mother’s photos! North slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them, her gaze was icy.“It seems like I’ve been too generous to you all.”Linda faked an understanding demeanor. “North, why are you distancing yourself from us because of someone who’s deceased? We’re—Ah!”North held Linda’s head in place as she slapped the

    He moved his wrists and frowned.Did North sleep for the entire day? Was she disoriented?North sat by the bed with nothing to do. She watched as time passed. Strange, why wasn’t she awake yet? Was she that sleepy? Could it be that the advanced exam questions were too difficult and she did not want to wake up?North could not help but think about the questions. Hmm… they did not seem very difficult. She had thought of a solution!Indeed, people had endless potential when they were dreaming. They could even come up with answers to such difficult questions!North was afraid that she would forget and wanted to wake up quickly, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not wake up. She closed her eyes and opened them again, but she was still in the room.North frowned and muttered to herself, “What’s going on…?”Gerald looked at her silently.He also wanted to ask what was going on.“North, do you need my help?”North hesitated. Even though it was a dream, she was still a littl

    North exclaimed in surprise.It turned out that Gerald could be sarcastic too!Gerald did not give Patricia any time to react. He was just short of chasing the entire Bracken family out.While the Bracken family was leaving, Gerald heard Mike grumble, “Mom… If you knew this was going to happen, why didn’t you adjust your act earlier!”Patricia was furious. “I did all of this for you. How could you fall for Gerald’s tricks?!”“But Gerald was right. They suspect that I’m not Paige’s son because of you!”…Giselle’s smile became more and more sarcastic. When the Bracken family disappeared, he said, “Accompany me pay respects to Paige. Also, get someone to clean Glass Manor inside and out.”He wanted to get rid of the bad vibes the Bracken family had brought in.…A few days later, when they returned to Royal Sights Residences, the Bracken family actually stopped causing trouble.North was about to graduate, and she had one final exam. She saw the class group chat exchanging adva

    “Why? Do you think that I’ve forgotten how Paige died?”Giselle never expected that this shameless family would have the audacity to make an issue out of Paige’s death.“You make it sound so simple. Even if Patricia dies today, you would never disregard her last wishes. Is everything you do for the good of the Bracken family?“Still, the only person the Bracken family has ever had to sacrifice was Paige!”Virgil snapped, “Nonsense! I’m Paige’s biological father, how could I…”Giselle sneered. “Stop putting on an act. You didn’t look for your daughter when she was missing. You didn’t feel sorry for your daughter when she returned. You kept asking her to tolerate the adopted daughter. When she was sick, you even stopped her treatment so that she would die and let your adopted daughter marry her husband.“Virgil, I’m sick. I’m not dead yet, and I haven’t lost my memory. If this happens again, I’ll destroy the entire Bracken family!”Giselle looked at the bodyguards she had brought

    The surroundings suddenly fell silent.Virgil found it hard to breathe. “Let go! Are you crazy?!”“I’m asking you a question. Where is Paige buried? Tell me!”Virgil’s brain was deprived of oxygen. Without thinking, he roared, “How would I know? Let go, you crazy woman!”Patricia screamed, “Madam Giselle, what are you doing? Let go of him. Do you want Dad to die?”Gerald’s second uncle also shouted, “Madam Giselle, why are you doing this to us? Don’t treat your husband like this!”“You don’t know? You don’t know at all, do you?” Giselle ignored everyone. She looked unremorseful. She scoffed.“You claim to be severely depressed about your daughter’s death,” Giselle retorted. “Despite that, you actually don’t know where your daughter’s grave is!”As soon as she finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.When Virgil realized what he had just said, his face turned pale and he stopped screaming. He trembled as he spoke to Giselle hatefully. “You did this on purpose…”That wa

    Mike said weakly, “North, we paid our respects to my mother before we went out today. We didn’t say anything because we were afraid that Grandpa wouldn’t be able to accept it.”As expected, Virgil clutched his chest and looked like he was about to faint.Patricia cried out, “Gerald, are you satisfied now that your grandfather is trembling in anger? We’ve kept it a secret for so many years. Despite that…”Everyone sighed. So, that was how it was.It was indeed Ms. Paige’s death anniversary today. However, the old man had fallen into a state of depression from the intense guilt. He then mistakenly thought that his daughter had passed away in May.As his family, Patricia and Mike could not bear to make the old man feel more guilty. Thus, they maintained the facade.In fact, they would pay their respects to Paige every year.This made sense. After all, Virgil was old and could not stand such harsh emotions.The people from the Bracken family jumped on this chance to scold Gerald. “

    Everyone was dumbfounded. North was really bold!North blinked. “What’s wrong, Mr. Virgil? Why are you so angry? Did I say something wrong?”“What nonsense! Paige is my daughter! How could I intentionally let her die?!”North widened her eyes. “I didn’t say that you intentionally let her die! It’s just that the Bracken family didn’t like her and looked down on her. The medical staff didn’t care about her either. In the end, they didn’t even treat her and let her die.“I know. It’s not your fault. After all, you were so busy. How could you have the time to take care of a daughter you don’t love?”Virgil clutched his chest. “What nonsense…! Shut up!”“North!” Patricia screamed. “Gerald, are you just going to watch her anger your grandfather? Your grandfather’s health isn’t good…”“What did I say wrong?”North sighed. “Look at what Mr. Virgil said. Ms. Paige passed away at the end of May, so why didn’t he treat her for two whole months from the end of March to the end of May?“Th

    Mike knew that he had fallen into North’s trap and was speechless!He was so anxious that his expression changed. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and huge beads of sweat dripped down. “Um… I…”“Mike!” Patricia saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly interrupted Mike and pulled him behind her.Then, she took a deep breath and pretended to be helpless and upset.“Gerald, what nonsense are you talking about?! We’re family. If you have anything you’re upset about, just tell me. There’s no need to cause trouble at the banquet and make an issue out of Paige’s death anniversary!“We’re all Paige’s family, and Dad is also Paige’s biological father. How can we not know when her death anniversary is?“Paige’s death anniversary is at the end of May. It’s not today at all. You… You’re too much!”Virgil looked aggrieved. He nodded and said, “That’s right. Paige’s death anniversary is in May. Gerald, I know you don’t want to give up her inheritance. Moreover, I didn’t fo

    Everyone’s eyes fell on Gerald.Gerald looked up slowly and said calmly, “Ms. Patricia, why did you choose today to hold a banquet for Mike?”“It doesn’t matter what day I chose!” Patricia roared.“So, you did choose the date.”Gerald looked down at Patricia from above. His cold gaze made Patricia suddenly feel suffocated.Her “son” had a murderous look in his eyes. “Any other day would have been fine, but not today.”Patricia hated the look in Gerald’s eyes the most. Why was he so arrogant? Why was he looking down on her? Why was he like that b*tch?She screamed, “Gerald, I’m your mother! Mike is your brother! It’s fine if you don’t love me, but you keep finding fault with me. What right do you have—”“Today is the anniversary of Paige’s death.”Gerald interrupted her.Patricia’s face turned pale, and the words that she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. The scene instantly fell silent.What did Gerald say? What day was it today?Today was the anniversary of Paige’s d

    Patricia felt a lump in her throat. “You…”“Connor, come out.” North interrupted her.Then, a group of people dressed in black walked out of nowhere and played mournful music. Connor walked in the middle and placed a memorial tablet on the table.Everyone looked at the memorial tablet curiously, wanting to know whose memorial tablet it was. When everyone saw the name “Paige”, they instantly fell silent.North and Gerald paid their respects. Then, they placed the bouquets beside the memorial tablet.Their actions stunned everyone.Had they come to pay respects to Paige?Patricia was trembling. She stared fixedly at Paige’s name on the memorial tablet. She clenched her fists.Paige!Gerald had paid his respects to Paige at a banquet for Mike. Was he crazy?! She was so unlucky! Paige was already dead, but she was still the center of attention at Mike’s banquet!After paying her respects, North turned around. “What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to pay your respects?”
