Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Up Chapter 195
“I was looking at…” North was still wondering what she should say when she suddenly thought of a good idea and replied, “I was looking at… your face! I’ve never seen a man as handsome as you are, so I got distracted!”Gerald was speechless.The two of them stood at the stairway for so long that women kept passing by them. The women would murmur things about Gerald being handsome and charismatic. Some even said that he looked like a celebrity.Now that North had useful proof, she raised her voice. “See, everyone thinks so too. You’re so perfect, Mr. Howard. What’s wrong with looking at you?”Gerald suddenly chuckled. “But why are you looking at me? Do you like me?”North’s mind went blank. Was that what she was saying?Gerald leaned closer, making his face look bigger and bigger. He only stopped when their faces were only an inch apart.North felt chills. On instinct, she wanted to close her eyes. However, she was stopped.“You can get a closer look if you like, Mrs. Howard. Y

They were only married in name, and their marriage was a marriage of convenience. There was no point in asking things like these.…Over at Myers Corporation, the meeting room was filled with dead silence after Gerald left. Disappointment was practically written on the shareholders’ faces.Henry took a deep breath, then said, “Let’s end the meeting.”As the shareholders walked out, Madam Myers was still shaking and muttering, “You can’t let that b*tch get away with this, Henry. You can’t…”Linda joined in, crying, “Why did you promise Mr. Howard to do that, Henry? What would Melinda do without the succession rights? She was a b*stard daughter, to begin with. How could you play favorites like this? My poor daughter…”Henry felt a splitting headache coming on. He felt like his brain was about to explode.He felt so many emotions all at once. He was lost, regretful, indignant, and enraged. He just wanted some peace and quiet, but these two women just would not stop crying!He co

Boarded the plane? Ten hours or so? Was that woman returning from overseas?Since when did Gerald have such a close friend? And a female friend, too… “Your dinner is ready, Madam.” Steward interrupted North’s train of thought. “How’s your practice going?”North snapped out of her trance and replied, “I’m quite familiar with the song now. Madam Bracken won’t be disappointed.”Steward shook his head. “You should be calling her Grandmother. Alright, let’s eat.”North nodded, then seemed to think of something. “Mr. Steward, who was Gerald talking to on the phone?”Steward’s expression stiffened, but he quickly recovered. “Yes, Mr. Gerald has a friend who’s returning soon. Please don’t think too much of it.”North frowned.She had not been thinking too much of it…But now that Steward had asked her not to, she suddenly got the feeling that he was trying to cover something up.What kind of woman would make Steward so worried about her misunderstanding that he would feel the need t

North barely batted an eye. “Is bullying the weak the only thing you learned from all those years you spent with Melinda? Can’t I buy something without knowing how to appreciate it? What, do you own this store?”“Why, you!” Summer got anxious enough to snap, “You’re just a country girl who won’t understand a painting even if you bought one! How is that a good thing?”She had heard the gallery was tied to Nicholas Sherman. That was why she had deliberately dressed up and pretended to be a woman of culture. She had been hoping to bump into Nicholas here.However, not only had she not met Nicholas yet, but she had bumped into North!Summer suddenly thought of something and acted as if a light bulb had lit up in her head. “You’re not here to seduce Mr. Sherman, are you?!”North raised an eyebrow. “Seduce?”Summer acted like she had caught North red-handed, yelling, “How could you be so shameless?! Do you think Mr. Sherman is someone you can target? I know he’s both handsome and capab

When Summer heard Melinda’s name, she hastily smiled. “You remember me, Mr. Sherman? We met at the South family party the other day. Yes, she’s my cousin. North insisted that you knew her and you were here for her, so I couldn’t stand it—”“Do you think she’s wrong?” Nicholas asked coldly.Summer froze. “O-Of course I do. Why would North Myers know you?”Nicholas snorted. “Miss Lane, I just told you North was my esteemed guest. Did you not understand what I said?”Summer’s smile stiffened.Of course, she understood. She just did not want to believe it.Why would North Myers be Nicholas Sherman’s esteemed guest? What did that country girl do to deserve this?!Nicholas scoffed. “Looks like you did understand me. But if that’s the case, I’m curious. On what grounds do you think North isn’t fit to work with me?”Summer’s mind went blank. The way Nicholas defended North made her both jealous and indignant. “Because Melinda said…”“The reason I returned was because Miss Smithson str

The looks in everyone’s eyes shifted.“Stole a necklace and framed Miss North for it?” an onlooker asked.“Yeah, Mr. Sherman. What if she pulls the same trick again?” another asked.“I was wondering why she accused Miss North right away. She was trying to make her the scapegoat,” someone else added.Meanwhile, North smiled. “What do you think, Mr. Sherman?”Nicholas looked into her eyes and finally understood what she was trying to do. “I was there when it happened. Miss Lane stole a sapphire necklace that belonged to Melinda, then tried to frame you for it. Indeed, a person like her is not welcome at our gallery.”Everyone else believed him.After all, there was no reason for both North and Nicholas to frame Summer, right?Everyone could not get far enough away from Summer.Their disdainful gazes hurt Summer so badly that she got desperate. “What are you talking about, North?! It wasn’t me, it wasn’t! It was…”Melinda was the one who could not stand the sight of North. The w

North flinched. She thought she had heard him wrong. “T-There’s no way it’s that coincidental, right?”Nicholas shrugged and stepped aside to make way. “Go see for yourself if you don’t believe me. However, I should remind you that if you don’t come up with some excuse, Gerald will be coming in.”North gulped and fell silent.Then, she became visibly anxious. “Has he seen me yet?”Nicholas shook his head. “No, actually.”North suddenly had an idea. “Then pretend I was never here. I’ll leave through the back door!”She was about to take action and leave through the back door with her painting. However, by pure coincidence, Gerald was at the back door too!North could feel her scalp tingle. She sensed there was no escape and was thinking of an excuse when suddenly…“Gerald, I’m done shopping. Mom and Dad are asking if you want to come over and have dinner with us?” a woman asked gently from a spot nearby.North paused. That voice was just like the one she had heard on the phon

Howard immediately looked at North. “Shall we go home, Mrs. Howard?”North said nothing. Was she even allowed to refuse?Connor had just driven the woman back, so Gerald had to drive her himself. Naturally, this meant North had to sit in the passenger seat.As she did so, she kept thinking the entire time.How did Gerald recognize a Reuben painting on sight? Had he seen plenty of famous paintings as the South family heir?But why did Gerald say he had come specifically to look for her? He clearly had a woman with him.Also…North suddenly snapped out of her trance.Her fingers had just brushed something on the passenger seat. It was a tube of lipstick.“You’ve glanced at me almost ten times in the past three minutes, Mrs. Howard,” Gerald said casually without taking his eyes off the road. “If there’s something you want to ask, just shoot.”North felt like she just got busted, so she asked the burning question, “I… I saw that woman…? What’s her relation to you?”Screech!G

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?”
