When Horace noticed North was not moving an inch, he raised his voice in response. “Where’s the money?!”

Coldness flashed in North’s eyes.

When she looked back up again, the coldness had been replaced with caution as she took out a hundred dollars from her handbag. “I only have a hundred…”

Horace became enraged and got up to smack the money onto the ground.

“What’s with that attitude, North Myers?! I ask you for money, and you give me a hundred bucks? What am I, some homeless man on the street?!”

“Then how much do you need?” North asked in a whisper.

When Horace heard her response, he thought she was as easy to manipulate as he thought. So, he got greedy and demanded, “Five hundred thousand should be fine!”

North instinctively took a step backward. “But I don’t have that much money…”

Horace’s expression changed immediately to an outraged one. “You don’t have that much money? Hey, everyone! Come see how heartless my niece is! She’s rich enough to splurge on herself, but not to

    “How can you yell at her? How can a student afford to give you five hundred thousand bucks?” someone else asked.Horace was so angry that he turned red and screamed desperately, “You’re lying! I know you have a huge—”“Yes, I have a huge amount of money.” North suddenly teared up and interrupted him. “But that’s my mother’s inheritance, and even I can’t bear to use it. Why should I give it to you?“You’re just my step-uncle and step-aunt. You’re not even my uncle by blood, and yet I still called you my family. Why are you doing this to me?Step-uncle and step-aunt?Mother’s inheritance?That was too much information to process!If North’s mother had already passed on, she was probably relying on her stepmother to survive!Horace’s face turned crimson. Why was North pretending to be the victim? And why wasn’t anyone seeing through her lies? “Shut up, North!” he yelled.Lydia could not take the judgmental gazes, so she rushed forward while screaming like a mad dog, “You b*tch! L

    The moment North heard his response, she knew what he was thinking.It was that will, wasn’t it?It specified that she needed to marry a South to get the entire inheritance.The Myers and Lane families knew she could not marry Eiger, and that was why they were so bold.At that point, she got an idea and suddenly smiled.Then, she looked around and bowed. “You all have seen what kind of life I’ve been living with the Myers family. If they punish me for this, I hope you’ll bear witness and testify that I wasn’t the one who started this.”The onlookers were all disgusted by the way Horace and Lydia acted. “That homewrecker’s whole family is so shameless!” someone exclaimed.“What did North Myers do to deserve punishment? I think Linda Lane just likes making up excuses to abuse her!” a second person said.Horace instantly panicked. He did not understand why everyone had switched sides.Back in the countryside and with the Myers, he could yell at North or beat her up any time he

    At the same time, Gerald sat in the car and read a file with the information Connor had collected.Starlight the hacker had been interested in a luxury items store inside Linden Square.Coincidentally, that store was owned by the South family.Suddenly, Connor dropped his voice to a low whisper. “I think I see a South family car, Mr. Gerald.”Gerald narrowed his eyes. “That South heir’s back in the country?”“Yes, Abraham South rushed here right after his plane landed today,” Connor replied.Gerald scoffed. “The South family keeps fighting with each other, and yet they still manage to keep so many secrets.”Despite being the South family’s official heir, Abraham had been “exiled” overseas. And now that he was back in the country, instead of going to South Corporation, he had come to this insignificant luxury items store?As if on cue, someone walked out from the store and casually walked in the other direction.“Look, Mr. Gerald! Isn’t that Madam?!” Connor asked, shocked.Ger

    Abruptly, North sensed that her surroundings had gone dead quiet once again.She instinctively wanted to explain.However, Abraham spoke up first, “So, you’re Gerald’s wife, Ms. Myers. How come we’ve never heard you mention it?”North did not respond.Abraham’s question did not seem like one that needed answering. After all, she had only known Abraham for ten minutes. Who would tell a stranger their marital status? Yet, when she pondered deeper into it, North did feel like she had been intentionally hiding the fact that she was married in order to get close to another man.Gerald narrowed his eyes.North suddenly felt nervous, and a shiver ran down her spine. She decided to ignore Abraham and answer Gerald’s previous question. “We were just chatting a little. W-We weren’t enjoying ourselves all that much…”Gerald asked casually, “Did you hear that, Mr. South?”Abraham took a step back. He sounded even-tempered as he said, “It’s my fault for not being a good enough conversatio

    After North looked down, her expression instantly changed. The text read: [There’s trouble, Starlight. Your phone is being tracked. That person has located you in Linden Square.]North suddenly frowned. Her phone was being tracked?What a bother.She abruptly came up with a plan. “Mr. Howard, I’m going to the bathroom.”Gerald nodded with a smile.After North left, Connor said while fighting the pressure in the room, “Sir, we’ve tracked Starlight’s phone. We’ll soon get the exact location.”Gerald only grinned. That was fine. He wanted to see how North would explain things later.“Also, Horace’s subordinate has been dealt with. The report has been made on the charge of extortion in the South family’s name. I’m sure Henry Myers must be very troubled right now.”Gerald replied carelessly, “Kick it up a notch. Horace and Summer Lane must be made full use of, and that can only be done by giving the Myers family hell.”Connor said reverently, “I understand.”Gerald added as his

    North finally looked up and scoffed. “Sugar daddy?Emery June laughed out loud. “What are you pretending for?! Your sugar daddy and Cynthia have a close relationship. Did you think I didn’t know?”North smiled. She had a sugar daddy? Cynthia said this?Emery was delighted as she said, “I would advise you not to go against the Bracken family. No one will be able to save you if you do!”North sounded casual as she said, “You keep mentioning the Bracken family. Who are you, their lapdog?”“What did you say?!” After being stunned for a moment, Emery came back to herself and exploded in rage. “You dare call me a lapdog?! You must really have a death wish! Somebody come help!”The restaurant’s manager rushed over and wiped away the sweat on his brow. “Ms. June, please calm down. Don’t get angry!”He glanced at North and confirmed that he did not know this woman. This meant that she was not some heiress from a wealthy family.Thus, he chose to stand on Emery’s side without hesitation.

    “And here I was wondering where Ms. June’s blatant lying skills came from. It seems that she learned them from you, Ms. Bracken.”Cynthia’s expression was stormy.“You shut up—” Just as Emery was about to mock North, her eyes shone, and she instantly forced out some tears. “Forget it, Cynthia. Ms. Myers is so haughty because she has Mr. Gerald behind her. We can’t compete with her. I’ll just consider myself unlucky.”North blinked. Why was Emery suddenly putting on this show?Cynthia bit her lip. “No, that won’t do. Ms. Myers is in the wrong here. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she apologizes to you.”After she said this, she inhaled deeply and looked at a spot not far away. “Gerry, I don’t want to make things difficult for Ms. Myers, but she’s gone too far. Can you come and talk to her? Could she please apologize to Emery for my sake…?”North instantly understood. It seemed that Gerald had arrived, which was why these two were playing the victim.Besides, what did it mean that she

    Cynthia balled both fists and felt her nails nearly cut into her flesh. She tried her best to stabilize her trembling voice as she said, “Gerry… It’s not what you think. I-I was too hasty. I just thought that Emery wouldn’t do something so out of hand. That’s why I asked Ms. Myers to apologize.“I should only have spoken up once I knew what was going on. I’m sorry. I’ll just keep quiet now.”Cynthia pressed her lips together and walked to a corner dejectedly. The rims of her eyes were red, and she looked like she had been terribly wronged.A sudden idea came to mind when North saw the act she was putting on.Cynthia wanted to play the victim, did she? Well, North could play that game too.She put on a sad look and said, “Gerald, don’t blame Ms. June. She thinks I’m your sugar baby and looks down on me because of it. That’s understandable. After all, she’s the heiress of the June family. She definitely wouldn’t lower herself to be friends with a lowly sugar baby.”Emery grabbed

    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?”
