Was it necessary for North, who did not know how to cook, to make herself a meal?

North hung her head. Her voice was small and helpless. “I just wanted to learn.”

Gerald did not understand why she was so stubborn about wanting to cook herself. “Forget it if you failed to learn. Cooking is not an essential skill.”

North hesitated for a while. “But I wanted to thank you.”

Gerald’s hands froze in the middle of applying the medication. His heart beat rapidly. “What did you say?”

North blinked. “You helped me get justice yesterday, so I wanted to thank you.”

Gerald could not describe what he felt inside.

She wanted to thank him?

Was that why she had decided to cook something personally?

Was that not such a silly thought?

Gerald looked at her and said, “It’s not worth it for you to hurt yourself in order to thank me. From now on, you’re not allowed to go into the kitchen.”

North bit her lip. “But I don’t have any other way to repay you…”

Gerald said blandly, “There are many ways

    Colt shook his head. “That’s not right… Gerald, this Starlight used to be active in North Aurope. She should have been there five years ago. How could she have come back here to steal your files?”Gerald’s eyes narrowed.He had found a lot of comprehensive evidence. In addition to North’s behavior, he was pretty much sure that North was Starlight, the hacker from five years ago.Colt added, “Besides, Starlight and Deep Pool Corporation have no reason to interfere in each other’s business. Why would she want to steal that document? Based on what Starlight is worth, it’s impossible that she was paid to do it.”Gerald asked blandly, “So, you think that the information found here is wrong?”Colt hesitated for a moment before saying, “At the very least, I don’t think that person is Starlight. By the way, why did you suddenly think it was her?“Starlight is a big name over in North Aurope. You’ve spent so much time investigating this that you should have heard of her before this. If yo

    Nicholas was the person who truly called the shots in the Sherman family. His standing was high, and his influence was formidable. Lots of people wanted to suck up to him, but even the Bracken family only got two invitations.How could that person actually reject the invitation?!Although the invitation to the racecourse’s opening was supposed to be fun and games, everyone knew that being able to go there was a sign of prestige!Cynthia shook her head with tears in her eyes. “Maybe North didn’t mean to hurt my feelings. Perhaps she just doesn’t know how to ride a horse…”When Liam heard the name North, he suddenly frowned. “You don’t mean that North Myers from the country, do you? I heard that she’s never even seen a horse growing up. How could she ever race with you?”Cynthia felt an odd sense of superiority rise within her.Oh yeah. Had Gerald rejected her… because North did not know how to ride a horse?For the wealthy like them, learning to ride was requisite.Yet, as Geral

    Gerald smiled. He could tell at a glance that North was nervous.However, he did not call her out on it. “Nicholas is the Sherman family’s heir. He owns a racecourse, and I have two invitations to it. Let me take you riding and have some fun?”North nearly choked from all that she held back. She had already been preparing for Gerald to interrogate her. She did not expect that he would suggest taking her out horse riding.Apparently, he was not suspicious about her relationship with Nicholas. Right?North’s nerves were all still strung tight. Her guilt made her voice turn reedy. “W-What? Horse riding is good…”Gerald chuckled and looked thoughtful.Ah, it seemed that North had a close relationship with Nicholas.Gerald put on a gentle look. “Why do you look so excited, Mrs. Howard? You’re stuttering. Do you know how to ride?”North felt a lump in her throat. Someone who grew up in the country should not know how to ride a horse. Thus, she shook her head.“I don’t… I was thinkin

    After he said that, the manager took a few steps back. He did not stop Cynthia from riding the horse anymore.Cynthia was delighted when she got the horse she wanted. She thought that she had scared the manager.Thus, she could not help but show off to North about it.“North, I didn’t expect you to be here either. Where’s your number card? Why don’t you go and pick out a horse?”North heard the malicious tone in Cynthia’s voice and smiled meaningfully. “I don’t have a card.”The staff gave a card to each of the guests who entered the racecourse. Then, the guests would pick a horse using those cards.But North had her own horse here, so she did not need a card.That was why Cynthia had misunderstood.Cynthia raised her voice for everyone to hear. “Ah, it’s my mistake. How could I forget that you don’t have an invitation, so of course you don’t have a card. Who brought you in here? How could they dump you here alone?”The second she said this, everyone around looked at North wit

    It was silent.There was only the sound of the breeze on the racecourse.Cynthia was consumed with anger. That beast had looked so sweet just a second ago. Who would have expected it to have such a vicious character?!Yet, North kept mocking Cynthia to one side, which caused Cynthia’s face to mottle. She had never been so humiliated before!“Cynthia, are you hurt?!”Liam rushed to help Cynthia up. He glanced savagely at the horse. “How dare that beast hurt you! I’ll get someone to slaughter it right now as an apology to you!”The bystanders immediately reacted. They immediately said, “That’s right! It’s all that beast’s fault. It has a horrible temper and isn’t suited to stay at this racecourse.”“It’s the horse’s honor that someone as high-born as you wanted to ride it, Cynthia. It’s its own fault for not cherishing the opportunity.”Cynthia’s annoyance dissipated a little. Wearing a dark expression, she said, “Go. Get rid of this horse for me.”North’s expression turned grim

    North took a couple of steps forward and stood before the snow-white horse. Her expression was neutral.“I want this horse.”This horse? The bystanders laughed without holding back. Even Cynthia could not help but grin.What an idiot!Liam guffawed. “This horse is a firecracker, and even Cynthia can’t control it. You actually want to ride it in a race against me? You’re losing for sure!”North nodded. Her demeanor was at ease as she flipped herself onto the horse.Everyone waited for her to fall off.Yet, one second passed, and then two…North sat securely on the horse’s back. The horse was extremely gentle and completely different from the bad-natured creature it was when it unseated Cynthia just now.Liam regarded her unaffected expression and felt his heart speed up.“Mr. Rice, do you believe Cynthia just because she said I can’t ride a horse?”North calmly moved past him. “You’re a big boy now, so use your brain. I’ll take the shares.”After she said this, everyone watc

    Liam did not understand why he had just been slapped. However, he thought that his saving grace had arrived, so he quickly started shouting.“Dad, help me out here! North Myers tricked me!”Brandon Rice saw the look Gerald wore and shivered all over. He slapped his son again. “How dare you ask me for help when you’ve gotten into so much trouble?!”He turned around and said to North softly, “Ms. Myers, I don’t know how my son offended you, but do tell me. I’ll teach this idiot a lesson for you!”Liam was confused by the slap and asked in disbelief, “Dad, why are you being so courteous to this b*tch? You even hit me because of her?! Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for this b*tch?!“Nice one, North. Of course, you would get in bed with anyone. You’re truly shameless!”“Shut up!” Brandon was ready to pass out. He inhaled deeply and said reverentially, “Ms. Myers, just say the word and I’ll make my son apologize to you!”North swept a glance over Liam’s upset expression and suddenly burs

    Brandon’s back went stiff.North laughed lightly. “Your son is right in one thing. Horse racing is meant to be fun. It’s fine to have some small stakes. I didn’t expect him to use those shares to provoke me. You should give some thought to why he did that and who he did it for. Then you can find out why he ended up in such a predicament.”Brandon’s infuriated gaze zeroed in on Cynthia at nearly the same second that she said all this.Liam was annoyed as he gritted his teeth. “North, this is all because of you, of course. Just you wait. I’ll—”“You idiot!” Brandon yelled. “You’re not allowed to interact with Cynthia anymore! You’d better give up on any thoughts there!”Brandon turned around wearing a grim look. “Ms. Bracken, you’re quite shrewd too. You can let my son put himself at stake for you while you become the innocent one and remain unharmed. I’ve seen something new today!”After saying this, Brandon dragged Liam off.Cynthia’s face was deathly pale as she clenched her fi

    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?”
