Connor did not even dare to ask Gerald for any details. “Understood.”

Meanwhile, North walked into the mansion.

When she entered, she heard someone speaking sarcastically.

“Mrs. Lane, the madam has already decided that Ms. Jane is her granddaughter-in-law. Don’t worry. I’ll chase away that witch today. The madam has said that the woman she refuses to acknowledge won’t ever be accepted into the Howard family.”

It was followed by another arrogant voice. “How dare she steal my daughter’s position as Gerald’s wife? We need to teach her a lesson. My daughter grew up with Gerald. North Myers is nothing! Does she really think she’s Gerald’s wife?”

North immediately understood what was going on. When she got into her shotgun marriage with Gerald, she had seen a hysterical woman being dragged away. That had to be the “Jane” they were talking about.

Gerald was pretty popular, even though he was impotent.

Charles, the butler, looked around and saw North standing at the door. Disdain

    Everyone in the living room fell silent. Georgia’s face drained of color. “T-That’s not what I meant, Gerald.”North raised an eyebrow in amusement. Georgia had tried to slap her multiple times for the smallest slights just now, but she turned into a coward in front of Gerald. She had two sides to her, it seemed. Gerald narrowed his eyes and looked even more imposing. “What did you mean, then?”Georgia trembled and said, “Gerald, North Myers isn’t worthy of you! She… She brought bad luck to her own mother! The Myers family also confirms that she brings bad luck to everyone around her!“She’ll bring bad luck to you too! Jane is different. She has been our lucky star since young—”“Heh.” Gerald chuckled. In an instant, Georgia’s remaining words died in her throat. “G-Gerald…?”“She brings bad luck to everyone around her?” Gerald asked in amusement, as if he had just heard a funny joke. “Did you actually think that I would be worried about bad luck?”Georgia and Charles trembl

    Charles was terrified. “You…”“This way, Mr. Charles.” Connor gestured to the door. “You work for the madam, so Mr. Gerald won’t do anything to you yet. But if you insist on creating trouble for yourself, he won’t mind spilling some blood again.”Charles gritted his teeth. He glared at North before he fled in a hurry. Connor stepped out. Only Gerald and North remained in the living room.Gerald smiled, and his eyes crinkled. “This was an accident. They won’t be able to enter Royal Sights Residences anymore.”North finally registered what had happened. She had been given so much information just now it was practically an information overload…It was no wonder why Gerald did not want to get married. It was not just because his parents were forcing him. He could have anything he wanted because he was the heir of a big family, but he did not have an easy life. When Gerald saw the contemplative look on North’s face, he looked down. “Aren’t you curious about why Mrs. Lane called you

    North spluttered. “I-I know what sort of man you are, not how much money and what businesses you own, not that I care about that. So, it’s only normal that I don’t know who Dew Garden’s owner is.”Gerald did not say whether he believed her. “Is that so?”“But of course,” North continued lying. Suddenly, she thought of something. If Dew Garden belonged to Gerald, didn’t that mean that it belonged to the South family as well?But why did the manager show no respect to Fiona and chase her out even though she was part of the South family?North found herself unable to smile anymore and asked rigidly, “Doesn’t your family know that you opened Dew Garden?”“I opened it a few years ago behind my family’s back. Of course they don’t know,” Gerald answered nonchalantly.Oh… No wonder. North “understood” what happened now. Honestly, based on what transpired in the mansion a moment ago, she could tell that Gerald did not have a good relationship with his family. His relationship with E

    North flung her hair behind her back. “If you’re jealous of my figure, just say it. After all, we both know that even if you wore my dress, you wouldn’t be turning any heads.”“You b*tch!” Lilac was shocked. She was not expecting North’s tongue to have become so sharp. She was completely different from before. North snorted. Lilac had always liked Melinda, which was why she hated her. In the past, North never held it against Lilac nor said anything harsh to her for Eiger’s sake. Hence, Lilac’s attitude toward her worsened, and it ended with her thinking that North was an easy target. “What’s the point of you looking pretty? Eiger still dumped you!” Lilac said sarcastically with a holier-than-thou attitude. “I heard that you found yourself an ugly old man for a husband. Haha! Look at you! Once my brother dumped you, only an ugly man wanted you!“You should have told me. I could have introduced my driver to you. After all, no good man like my brother would ever want you again. Yo

    Lilac felt a great sense of superiority. “Duh! You brought your shameless *ss here because you wanted to dine in Dew Garden as well, didn’t you? “I’ll tell you right now. Dew Garden is a symbol of status. It’s not a place country bumpkins like you can enter! You should leave right now instead of getting chased out later!”North flipped her hair again. “Sure. Don’t go regretting what you just said, Lilac.”Lilac just sneered mockingly. “What a joke. Why would I regret what I said? If I do, I’ll apologize to you in public.”Dew Garden should be thanking her for chasing a country bumpkin away. Why should she regret her decision?North nodded. “Alright. Have fun eating.”She moved aside to show she had no intention to enter with them. Lilac felt even more smug. “At least you have some semblance of sense. Let’s go!”North smiled as she watched the people enter Dew Garden. Then, she took out her phone and sent a message. …Lilac and the group went to the receptionist and said ar

    But she was not in the room. Lilac quickly said, “I’m a daughter of the South family. Ms. Myers isn’t—”“The South family?!” Before she could even finish speaking, the manager scowled, and his expression turned dark. “Who exactly are you? Your name isn’t on Ms. Myers’s guest list!”The atmosphere turned stiff and awkward. The employees looked at Lilac in puzzlement. Lilac’s face turned red from rage. “What on earth are you saying?! I’m Lilac South from South Corporation!”The manager had never heard of her before, and he grew even angrier. “Lilac South, is it? I told you, your name isn’t on the guest list, and that’s it! I can’t believe you’d lie like this at your age. Did you actually think you can pretend to be a VIP of Dew Garden so easily?”Lilac had been feeling full of herself just now, but when the manager started lecturing her, she was stunned. Without even thinking, she shouted back, “Impossible! Soaring Heights has a gathering for its employees here today! Melinda Mye

    North leaned against the pillar next to her with arms crossed. She turned to Lilac with a grin. Lilac’s mind went blank. She flew into a fit of rage. “Why would I regret it?! Mind your words or I’ll cut your tongue out!” Right after Lilac finished speaking, a thought struck her. “The manager banned the Myers family from the diner. Does that mean…?” Lilac pointed at North and screamed angrily, “North, how dare you even say those words to me?! You caused Dew Garden to blacklist us! You must have offended them!” The crowd turned to watch. North gave her an amused look. “Lilac, are you just as stupid as your brother? Why blame me? I haven’t even stepped inside.” “It’s you! It has to be you!” Lilac went into a frenzy. “The Myers family couldn’t have possibly offended Dew Garden’s boss. You’re the only one who came from the countryside. A country bumpkin like you must have offended the boss of Dew Garden! You’re dead!” Lilac lunged at North furiously and tried to slap her. No

    North was not interested in Gerald’s curriculum vitae. She casually took the menu and looked for something delicious to reward herself.She almost spat out her water when she saw the prices listed on the menu.North asked earnestly. “Has anyone ever lodged a report about how Dew Garden set its prices?” She thought. “The prices are outrageously high!” The manager felt helpless. He was about to answer North. However, when he saw a man arriving, his expression immediately changed, and he looked down. North remained clueless. “What is it? Is this some kind of trade secret? Can’t you tell me?” “Ms. North, you can always ask me.” North heard a gentlemanly voice. Although Gerald sounded gentle, his voice was devoid of any emotions. It exuded a sense of majesty that belonged to someone superior. The manager knew well that Gerald’s gentleness was only skin-deep. He dared not offend Gerald. The manager quickly said, “Mr. G, here you are. I’ll excuse myself first.” Gerald nodded.

    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?”
