Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Up Chapter 233
Patricia was so furious that her breathing had become ragged. “You i-ill-bred b*tch…”North was not bothered by that comment. “When others are rude to me, I naturally treat them the same way.”“You…” Patricia’s words lodged in her throat. Furious, she turned to Gerald. “What are you standing there for? Chase this b*tch out! Gerald, I am your mother. I gave birth to you and raised you! How can you anger me this way?”After she said this, North stood frozen after being stunned by those words. Wait. Was this woman Gerald’s birth mother?Was Gerald not Paige’s son? Could he actually be the son of the adopted daughter, Patricia?Everyone said that Patricia had usurped the position of the first wife and lived it up with her son. Then did that not mean that Gerald was an illegitimate son…?She recalled how Patricia had mentioned a brother. That meant that Patricia mistreated her own son while she protected her adopted one with everything she had.Gerald and his adopted younger brothe

Gerald did not care at all what others said about him. It did not matter if they said he was ruthless or heartless. In any case, the Bracken family had wronged him. As such, he naturally would not let them off.However, he was afraid that North would think of him negatively.North was stunned for a second. Then, she quickly shook her head. Indeed, she hated illegitimate offspring. But, that was only limited to the sort who were like Melinda.“You could not have chosen your birth, but you can always choose how to live your life. Gerald, you’re a great person. You don’t need to care about what people say about you.”Gerald’s footsteps came to a halt.In all these years, North was the second person to say that to him.As they strolled in the back garden, North heard some people having a fight not far away.“Ms. Patricia has shot herself in the foot. Gerald Howard… Is that someone she can just tell off?”“Does it matter? No matter what, Patricia is Virgil Bracken’s most preciou

Gerald continued, “If you don’t get up, Miss Bracken, I don’t mind helping you.”Cynthia’s expression was sour. Yet, she still refused to move and held onto her chair in a death grip.“North, don’t get jealous over nothing, okay? I’m Gerry’s cousin!”Daniel tried to act as a mediator. “Mom, Cynthia just likes sticking close to Gerald. Enough, it’s just a small matter. Can’t Miss North sit somewhere else? Besides, everyone has already taken their seats. There’s no reason to move because of North now.”“I said that Cynthia has to move!” Giselle slammed her cutlery onto the table and yelled, “Don’t think I don’t know what your intentions are!”Cynthia’s expression became stiff as she met Giselle’s gaze. Finally, she felt a bit afraid. She unhappily stood up and switched seats with North.With Giselle in a bad mood, no one dared to cause any more trouble. The meal began peacefully.When North regarded the food on the table, her eyes suddenly lit up. There was shrimp! But shelling

Cynthia gulped. That was not what she had meant at all!Giselle could tell at a glance what Cynthia was up to. “Since you think no one welcomes you here, why don’t you get lost? This is my birthday banquet, not somewhere you can play the victim!”Cynthia felt angry and wronged. Why was this old coot so annoying?! She had not wanted to attend this banquet…That was right, this was her birthday banquet! Cynthia’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly thought of something. “North, today is Grandma’s seventieth birthday. Grandma adores you. I wonder what you brought for her as a gift?”North raised an eyebrow. Cynthia had really not given up.“Why aren’t you speaking, North? Could it be that you didn’t even prepare Grandma a gift?” Cynthia intentionally faked confusion. “But Grandma is always so thoughtful of you. Wouldn’t it be rude if you didn’t even give her a present?”After she said that, everyone looked over at North in curiosity.That was right. It would be rude for someone in North’

North swiftly made her decision. “Since you’re so curious, Ms. Bracken, then let’s have a look.”Cynthia snickered when she heard this. There was no way that country bumpkin had a Pete Reuben painting. She would be humiliated very soon!Not long afterward, the butler came back with both gifts.The attendees could not help but exclaim, “It’s really ‘Birds Among Clouds’!”“This is definitely by Pete Reuben. The strokes are thin and even, and the birds look so lifelike. Ms. Bracken’s gift is so generous.”Cynthia joyfully opened the container holding North’s gifts. “Don’t just look at mine, everyone. Let’s look at what treasure North brought for Grandma… Oh, what’s this?”Everyone instinctively looked over and became stunned.This painting… was unrecognizable.Pete Reuben was currently one of the most famous painters. His works were familiar to everyone gathered. Each of his paintings was etched deeply in their memories.Yet, North’s gift was not one of those.Daniel and Cynthia

One of the other elite ladies said to garner favor, “Eleanor, you can’t say that. If Ms. North really cared about Madam Bracken, she would never give her a fake. When it comes down to it, she doesn’t respect Madam Bracken at all!“See, Madam Bracken? She’s only an outsider. She will never treat you as well as Cynthia does!”The more inferior North was made to seem, the more Cynthia appeared to care for Giselle.Gerald’s eyes narrowed as he spun his phone in his hand. He had not intended to intervene in this, but now, he was going against his word.Although he knew very well that North could handle this herself, he could not stand watching his wife being bullied.If this matter was not dealt with once and for all, the same thing would only happen again and again. And if that was the case…Gerald glanced down at his phone and dialed a number.At the same time, Andrew ordered in disgust, “Come and take this fake away. Don’t let it sully Madam Bracken’s eyes! Ms. North, the Bracken
Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Up Chapter 239
All the attendees were confused. How could Pete say that it was a fake without even looking at it?Cynthia was anxious. She wanted to grab the phone from Gerald’s hand. “Gerry, actually…”However, she was too late. Pete said ungraciously, “I gave ‘Birds Among Clouds’ to one of the youngsters in my family. The painting is still in North Aurope now. Who would dare give Madam Bracken a fake?”…Cynthia’s brain buzzed loudly as she stood frozen in place. She was done for. She was going to be mocked within an inch of her life! Why could Gerald not be a little more considerate? How could he get Pete to expose her in front of everyone?!Everyone was stunned.Just now Cynthia had righteously said that North had brought a fake. But now, Pete had exposed Cynthia’s painting as being a fake!But had Andrew not authenticated the paintings? Had Cynthia not spent a lot of effort to buy this painting from Pete?North blinked. “Oh, so Ms. Bracken’s painting is the fake. It was all just a ploy

Cynthia’s mind suddenly went blank. This was impossible. Absolutely impossible!If North was someone Pete knew, then what would become of Cynthia? She would be a joke!Pete faked ignorance and slowly said, “Mr. Gerald, why has it suddenly gone quiet over there? Did I say something wrong?”Gerald slowly smiled as he waited for Pete’s next words.As expected, Pete told everyone in a very natural yet sheepish tone who he meant.“Or perhaps she’s offended Madam Bracken? North is a little willful. I’ll need to trouble you to look out for her, Mr. Gerald.”…North!That name made Cynthia go deathly pale. She swayed violently, and it looked like she would fall at any second.Eleanor’s and Daniel’s faces were as white as a sheet. They were filled with terror.They were done for. If North was someone Pete knew, then her painting had to be real. In that case…“Uncle Pete,” North suddenly went forward and said dejectedly toward the phone. “I’ve brought the birthday present, and Madam B

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?”
