North resisted the urge to flip Gerald the bird again. Just a moment ago, he was suspecting her of possibly cheating on him in the future, and now he wanted her to go to an auction with him? He was so infuriating!

But she pretended to be delighted. “Sure. No problem.”

Gerald looked away. He did not expose her terrible acting.

At night, Gerald sat in his study room and listened to Colt on the phone. Once he was finished, Gerald narrowed his eyes and looked at the information Colt sent him.

Five years ago, a hacker got into Deep Pool Corporation’s main system and left without a trace. No one could find them.

That hacker showed up again today.

And, on this day, Gerald’s wife managed to find the person Melinda hired to ruin her reputation. Melinda had wiped off all traces about her hiring a person to photoshop the photos, so it was not easy to find the man, but North had managed to do it right away. Was it mere coincidence?

Gerald smiled. Things were going to get interesting n

    North grabbed Linda by the neck. “You threw my mother’s possessions away?”Melinda started crying while shaking her head. “Don’t do this, North! Your mother passed away young, so her things bring bad luck! If we had kept them, they would’ve brought misfortune to Grandpa! We got rid of them for your sake t—”Linda started yelling at North. “Yeah, I threw them! So?! Are you going to hit me?! You’re just a b*tch who took Melinda’s place as the rightful heiress! You have no ri—”North moved her hand to Linda’s chin and slapped her with her other hand. North’s grip was so strong that Linda felt like her chin was about to be crushed. “North, how dare you?!”“Grandpa! Come here! North is going to kill us!” Melinda cried out.Hurried footsteps came from above. When Ian saw what was happening, he spoke without thinking. “North, what are you doing? Let Linda go. She’s your stepmother. How could you do this? Apologize!”Linda immediately stopped acting arrogantly and began crying. “It’s f

    Ian frowned and sighed. “Melinda had a tough life. She had to go through a lot of hardship due to being an illegitimate daughter. Be kind and don’t bully her all the time, North.”“I was sent to the countryside after Mom died. My fiance was stolen. I’m the heiress of the Myers family, but I have no home to return to, while she’s treated like a princess by the Myers family.“Do you really think I’m bullying her?!”Ian looked awkward. He was displeased when his words were refuted and disproved. “That’s enough, North. It’s just a necklace. Your mother’s things belong to the Myers family. Why shouldn’t we use them? Don’t be so stingy.”North’s gaze turned cold. In the past, whenever Melinda stole her things, everyone in the Myers family turned on her and said she was stingy and petty. She had thought that Ian was different, but she had been mistaken. Melinda only had her current status because of North and her mother’s hard work!North nodded. “Alright. That means I won’t have to

    Henry’s expression froze, and he cursed his bad luck. He could not chase North away while so many people were watching. He put on a resigned smile. “Everyone, you might not know this, but my eldest never listens to me. It’s not as if I intentionally left her back at home. North, I didn’t forget about you. Come. Let’s go in.”Linda went forward and pretended to be a good stepmother. “North, didn’t you say that you didn’t want to come? I’m sorry. I didn’t ask what you really meant and made you upset.”The people then immediately “understood” what had happened and exchanged looks. By the sound of it, North had thrown a tantrum and refused to come, but then changed her mind at the last minute.“We can understand, Mr. Henry. You’re worried about your eldest causing trouble, aren’t you?”“Every family has its own troubles. Your illegitimate daughter is mature and smart, but your eldest is petty. It must be tough for you.”Once the people left, Henry hissed at North while suppressing

    “That’s right. Her being willing to donate Ocean Demoness shows how kind she is. North Myers is surely the horrible one and is twisting the truth. That’s why Eiger South doesn’t want her!”“North Myers had grown up in the countryside and never seen such good jewelry. How could she compare to Melinda Myers?”“The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree. Your daughter is outstanding. Mr. Henry, are you thinking about making Ms. Melinda the heir of Myers Corporation?”Regardless of whether people were just kissing Henry’s *ss or whether their words were sincere, they praised Melinda to high heavens. Linda feigned humility and said, “Melinda is not as amazing as you’re all making her out to be. She just wants to help the auction. This is something I taught her since young. We might be living a good life, but plenty of people don’t have clothes to wear and food to eat. Once we have the means, we have to help them. Melinda has always remembered this lesson.”The people became even

    Melinda reacted quickly. She put on a pitiful expression and spoke in a tolerant fashion. “What on earth are you saying, North? Dad gave this necklace to Mom as a token of love. What does it have to do with your mother? If you want a necklace, I can give you a different one. Could you stop causing trouble already?”Linda sighed in resignation as well. “North, I know that you like Ocean Demoness, but we’ve already donated it and can’t reclaim it. Be good. There’re plenty of other accessories at home. You own many already.”When the onlookers heard this, they “understood” what was going on, and they gave North strange looks. “North Myers is such a horrible person. She wants to steal the necklace and even ruin Melinda Myers’s reputation?”“For a moment, I really thought that Linda took the legal wife’s possession, but North Myers is just being unreasonable. She’s evil.”Henry was livid. “Everyone knows that I gave the necklace to Linda as a token of love! Get out, now!”“A token of

    North cast a glance at the crying Melinda and narrowed her eyes. Pretending to be an innocent woman, huh? Well, she knew how to do that too!Suddenly, she teared up. “But I’ve never received any of my mother’s possessions. Why did you give all of them away? I don’t even have a proper accessory to wear to the auction, while Melinda can donate a necklace worth sixty million dollars whenever she wants.”The people sucked in sharp breaths and finally realized what was wrong with the situation. North was right. Melinda enjoyed a pampered life using the wife’s possessions, while North had nothing! That made no sense!Henry immediately felt his blood boil. His face turned red, and he punched the armrest of his chair. “Your mother’s things are mine! She’s already dead!”With tears welling in her eyes, North said, “I have nothing left. You brought your mistress and her daughter to the auction, but forgot about me. I know that you don’t love me, but I wasn’t expecting you to give your mi

    The people fell silent. Everyone stared at North and waited for her answer. Melinda’s eyes shone with cunning, but she still had a sad look on her face. “North, on behalf of the children in the mountains, I’m begging you to let it go.”“You donated my mother’s necklace in your name so that everyone would thank you?”Melinda shook her head as if she was exercising great tolerance toward North. “That’s not what I meant. You’re the heiress of the Myers family and are used to a life of luxury, so you wouldn’t understand how much the children in the mountains suffer. I just want to help them. Even though I’m donating the necklace in my name, I don’t care about whether it’s really credited to me. It’s just a nominal title, anyway. You shouldn’t get so hung up over this.”Linda covered her mouth while crying. “Even if my daughter did something wrong, she did it for the children. North, be more mature. Don’t be so selfish—”North’s gaze turned cold, and she raised her voice. “I’m not say

    Once the auction ended, North left via the back door and took out her phone to call a cab. “North.”At that moment, someone called her. Eiger went over and stopped her. North frowned. She felt sick whenever she saw Eiger. “Not even beggars block other people’s paths. Get out of my sight.”Eiger frowned and demanded, “What is wrong with you? Don’t you know how embarrassed Melinda was? Even if the necklace belonged to your mother, couldn’t you have talked this through in private?”North almost laughed at that, but her anger just made her narrow her eyes. “I embarrassed her? Are you saying that I should have generously let her have my mother’s belongings? Should I have told her that she can have everything just because she likes it? Is that what you think I should have done?”Eiger’s face turned red, but he remained stubborn. “What’s wrong with that? You’re sisters. Her glory is yours. You shouldn’t have spited her like this.”North fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, she sta

    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?”
