Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Up Chapter 245
Things heated up between them.North’s brain was blank, and she was breathless. She panted rapidly.“North.”Gerald immediately brought his face away. He felt a lingering desire and bit her lip. At her hiss of pain, he held her face in his hands.“We are husband and wife. There is naturally no one else I like but you. I don’t want to hear you say anything like that again. Got that, Mrs. Howard?”North suddenly felt out of breath. What did Gerald mean by this? …Other than her, he would not like anyone else?Did that mean that he liked her?But what was there about her to like…?Before North could wrap her mind around it, Gerald’s phone suddenly started to ring.Connor’s grim but agitated voice came through the line. “Sir! I’ve found out that the person from four years ago went to Seatown after leaving. I’m sure she must be…”North did not catch the rest of his words clearly.Gerald’s fingers left her face. His thoughts were in turmoil. After a long while, he spat out, “I go

“This is Gerald’s fault, too. He should still prioritize you even though he’s married.”Sharon looked down and said, “That’s right… Maybe North is prejudiced. She might think that men and women can’t be just friends. I told her I was just friends with Gerald, but she didn’t believe me.“Why doesn’t she consider the fact that I could have married Gerald if we did have anything between us? After all, we were friends for so long.”These words made Joe feel upset. It felt like he would lose his temper as soon as he spotted North.He comforted Sharon, saying, “Cheer up, Sharon. By the way, didn’t you invite a renowned pianist here tonight? You were going to play ‘Homecoming’ with them as a gift to Madam Bracken, right?“Gerald will be touched to know you’re doing so much for him.”Sharon’s face reddened. “What nonsense are you spouting? Who said I’m doing this for Gerald? I’m just trying to make Madam Bracken happy.”…North could not help but snicker. She had not intentionally eave

Four years ago?North gulped. “I was in Peacevale. I didn’t go anywhere special.”That was true. She had indeed been moving between Peacevale and North Aurope.Gerald’s gaze was still lowered. “Have you ever been to Seatown?”North thought about it for a little. She was sure when she shook her head. “I’ve never been there.”Unless it was really necessary, she never went too far on her own. That was why she had never been to Seatown.Gerald’s eyes narrowed. Could it be that he was assuming too much?But this made sense, too. If North was that woman from the past, why did she not say anything about it?Disappointment flooded Gerald. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, “It’s time. Let’s go to the banquet.”North nodded. She could not help but feel inquisitive.Why had Gerald asked her that? Could it have something to do with that person from four years ago? But that person could not be her, so why had he asked her about it?…The banquet officially started, and the gues

North had forgotten that Gerald was a man who was exceptional at playing these games!Sharon’s expression turned stiff for a moment. “You’re right. Of course, Madam Bracken would prefer her granddaughter-in-law. That’s only normal.”These words automatically made the others sympathize with her. After all, if North were not in the picture, Sharon would have been Gerald’s wife!Gerald nodded casually. “If you know that, why did you have to ask?”Sharon’s smile nearly slipped off her face. “Gerald, I’m going to talk to Madam Bracken first.”North forced back the urge to laugh.It seemed like, after the couple’s watches incident, Gerald was being much colder toward Sharon.Or was that just her?As everyone watched, Sharon went over to Giselle. She had put her smile back on.“Madam Bracken, I heard that Cynthia angered you with her poor behavior. Don’t be angry. There’s no reason to be upset over such a small thing.”Giselle glanced at Sharon.Sharon smiled and continued, “To c

As soon as Sharon stopped talking, everyone looked at North.Had she never heard of Ryan Keys? No way! Just how ignorant was North Myers?Ryan’s expression soured. “Such ignorance!”Gerald looked up coldly, but North caught his hand just in time. Then, she asked in confusion, “What’s your signature piece, Mr. Keys? Is it so strange that I’ve never heard of you if you don’t have one?”“Hmph! What an uncultured young woman!” Ryan was so angry that his face turned red.He hated it the most when people mentioned signature compositions. Many people commented that he only became famous because he was a student of Ivan Ivory.However, he believed he was just down on his luck. Once he finished performing “Homecoming” today, that would be his signature piece!“Miss North.” Sharon stepped forward with a sigh. “In any case, Mr. Keys is a famous pianist. You can’t dismiss his achievements just because you’ve never heard of him. Everyone here knows who he is, you’re the only one who…” she tr

Everyone exchanged silent looks. For a moment, no one dared speak.Seducing the judges? Banned for life?How dare she?!She was only eighteen four years ago. How shameless would she have to be to do something like that four years ago, and then marry Gerald Howard?!North, though, was perplexed. She had never even been to Seatown four years ago.Sharon put a hand over her mouth in shock. “Goodness… Are you sure there hasn’t been a mistake, Mr. Keys?”“Why would there be a mistake? I’ll never forget North Myers’ name! You all have no idea how shameless she was! She stripped and climbed into the bed of a judge old enough to be her grandfather!“And when she failed to seduce one of them, she turned to seduce the others! Even me! Disgusting! Despicable!” Ryan spat with disgust. “Madam Bracken, I refuse to share the same space as someone like her. Goodbye!”As Ryan began walking out, everyone started looking at North in a different light.“How could she be so disgusting?” someone as

Everyone fell silent, then suddenly burst out laughing.Ryan’s mockery only got worse. “Hilarious! My student won the Pianist Tournament! Why would she lose to you?”Sharon had already taken her seat in front of the piano. “Then I’ll perform “Homecoming” and dedicate it to Madam Bracken.”When North heard her play, she raised an eyebrow.Sharon’s talent was undeniable as a tournament champion. Getting to show off in front of the Brackens and win the admiration of the crowd, as well as mocking North? That was killing three birds with one stone.Sharon’s music was very gentle, the melody instantly getting the whole hall to quiet down.When she was done, they responded with thunderous applause.“Oh wow, it’s “Homecoming”… everyone can tell how difficult that song was. I didn’t think Miss Sharon could play it so effortlessly!” one person exclaimed.“As expected of the Pianist Tournament champion! Looks like North is about to embarrass herself…”Sharon could not help but look at Ge

She was close. She was so close. North was going to lose to her…The next thing she knew, the crowd fell silent again upon hearing music that sounded elegant, yet intimidating.Unlike Sharon, North’s performance of “Homecoming” evoked a sense of melancholy.The music itself seemed to paint a picture of an unforgiving winter, and everyone could almost see soldiers and horses right in front of them.That style and sense of melancholy… They all suddenly remembered why this song was called “Homecoming”.The song’s imagery of violent war gradually calmed, as if the dust was settling on a battle.When the performance was done, everyone stared. Some even cried.A few moments later, the hall erupted in chaotic discussion.“I get it now… this wasn’t talking about a traveler who missed her homeland at all.”“This was written for soldiers guarding the front line! What the heck was Sharon performing, then?“I remember now. Didn’t Paige Bracken get adopted by a family of soldiers before s

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?”
