โWhat a joke!โ Ivan interrupted him mercilessly. โSharonโs performance was stiff, unrefined, and showed zero understanding of the piece. The high notes didnโt flow together and neither did the low notes. By what standards are you judging her performance?!โRyan and Sharon paled in response to his words, shaking as if they were about to faint.Sharonโs hands balled into fists as she bit her lip.She did not expect Ivan to be this merciless in his criticism!It did not matter if her performance was not as good as Northโs! She was the eldest Lane heiress. She was meant for that title!Ivan scoffed. โThe way I see it, I donโt want a student with ears like yours.โWas he trying to expel him?! Ryan was terrified. He had begged Ivan to accept him as his student despite being a full twelve years older than he was, and he had used his identity as Ivanโs student to reap many benefits. If he was expelledโฆRyan hastily shook his head. โNo, Mr. Ivory, please listen! O-Of course I know Miss

Boom! Sharon felt like she had just been struck by thunder, and her mind had just blown up.Geraldโs words knocked some sense into everyone.Of course! If North was a better pianist than Sharon, and she was Ivan Ivoryโs sister, how did she lose the tournament?Moreover, how did she get accused of โseducing the judgesโ?North put on a thoughtful tone. โHmmโฆ thatโs weird. I play the piano better than Miss Sharon does, and yet sheโs the champion. Did her skills go downhill that quickly, orโฆ was there something fishy about that tournament? What do you think, Mr. Keys?โSharon began trembling as she broke out into a cold sweat.Ryan gulped. โO-Of course thereโs nothing fishy about the tournament. The judges all decided she was the winner, and the judging criteria were mostly objective.โM-Maybe the judges just liked Sharon more at the timeโฆโโReally?โ Ivan interrupted him mercilessly. โEven at a time like this, youโre still making up excuses for yourself!โIf their performances wer

Sharon claimed she was ill and excused herself, but everyone knew the real reason she left.Madam Bracken said plainly, โIf you know youโre sick, then you shouldnโt have left the house. Donโt ruin such an important day for me.โSharonโs face paled. She could tell Madam Bracken was mocking her.However, the only thing she could do was grit her teeth and endure everyoneโs disapproving gazes. โYouโre right, Madam Bracken. Iโll be leaving, then.โShe did not understand how Ivan Ivory was related to North Myers.Siblings? Yeah, right! If Ivan Ivory was connected to North, then how did the Myers family kick her out?โAt this point, other peopleโs opinions donโt matter. You need to find a way to steal Geraldโs heart,โ Mr. Lane said coldly. โDo I need to teach you everything?โSharon lowered her head. He was right. She was one of the most eligible heiresses around, and she had her own business. She was just as capable as Gerald was.North was the kind of woman who only knew how to depe

Everyone went silent.Ivan frowned. Obviously, he could not let Gerald listen. โMr. Howard, North and I have some catching up to doโฆโโIf youโre not siblings, then you wouldnโt mind if I stuck around while you talked, right?โ Gerald smiled.Ivan gulped. He finally understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot. โUmโฆ what do you think, North?โGerald smiled at her. โMay I tag along, Mrs. Howard?โNorth said nothing.She had the feeling that if she said no, she would not live to see another day.โS-Since Gerald wants to hear it, then let him hear. Itโs not like you have any secrets you want to confide in me, right, Mr. Ivory?โIvan got the hint, so he replied, โAlright. This way, please, Mr. Howard.โThe three of them walked to a corner of the room. Ivan clicked his tongue. This was going to be difficult with Gerald present.However, it was still possible to test him.Ivan put on a casual tone and said, โMr. Howard, I wanted to ask North about the Pianist Tournament fou
Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Upย ย ย Chapter 258
โI mean Mr. Howard no ill will, but since you married him, Iโll need to get to know him. Besides, Geraldโs been trying to track Starlight down. You need to be careful not to get busted.โโGot it. Get back in there.โAfter Ivan left, North stood there as she mentally replayed what Ivan told her.Her? Defending Gerald?She was not doing that. It was just an instinctive action. That did not count as defending him.She just did not want people to get the wrong idea about Gerald.โฆAfter the party was over, North returned to her room and fell asleep after some time.Outside the room, Connor said with his head hung low, โMr. Gerald, someone wiped all the information related to the Pianist Tournament back then. We found nothing.โGerald narrowed his eyes. โNothing at all?โโYes, it was someone from North Aurope. Iโm sorry I couldnโt do what you asked.โGerald suddenly chuckled. North Aurope. Again?Nicholas, Roque, and Ivan were all unusually concerned about North, and all of them

All those people from earlier had only agreed to work with Mike because Gerald had not gotten involved yet.With Gerald involved, wasnโt it obvious who they would choose?Patricia was so enraged that she was shaking. โYou b*stardโฆโโMs. Patricia.โ North blinked. โWhatโs the difference between Gerald getting that land and your son getting it? Youโre family!โShe was throwing Patriciaโs words right back at her. โWhy arenโt you happy that your biological son is even more successful? If other people didnโt know the whole story, theyโd suspect Gerald was the one you adopted.โPatriciaโs face soured, and she said furiously, โSince when do you get to talk when Iโm speaking to Gerald?! If he hadnโt been so greedy, I wouldnโt have come here to pick a fight with him either!โGreedy? North almost laughed at the logic.Instead, she pretended to sigh. โI was just a little sad. After all, itโs normal for people to reject Mike when Geraldโs so capable and powerful. How is it Geraldโs fault?โ
Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Upย ย ย Chapter 260
โBut Mr. Mikeโs different. Heโs trash! What will he ever do without that land? Spend his days being useless and waiting for his death?โ North said dramatically. โGerald, Mr. Mike probably only had this one shot at success his entire life! Just let him have that victory! Oh, dear. I know you canโt relate to a piece of trash, but I think this was what Ms. Patricia wanted to say. I finally understand what she meant!โEveryone was now so quiet that they could hear a pin drop.Their jaws had dropped. They could not believe such mockery could come out of Mrs. Howardโs mouth.But she was right!She was not even throwing insults at Mike anymore, she was practically rubbing them in his face.By the time Patricia understood what North was saying, she was trembling all over as she raised a shaky finger. โNorthโฆ NorthโฆโNorth pretended not to understand her. โDonโt thank me, Ms. Patricia. Iโm just doing it for everyoneโs sake.โโWhy, you!โ Patricia choked on her words. She was so angry th

North gulped.How was she supposed to answer that?Gerald narrowed his eyes. It seemed that North had noticed Mike was also a Howard.Would she still have defended him like this if she discovered that she was not the South familyโs heir?His gaze was so dark and mysterious that it made North feel nervous. โN-Nothing!โThat was weird. What did she have to be nervous about? If Gerald really was not a South, then he was the one who should be nervous!However, he was completely calm and did not show any desperation at all. That just confused her again.Gerald flexed his fingers and seamlessly changed the subject. โGrandmotherโs almost restored your motherโs design blueprint.โNorthโs eyes lit up and she instantly became energized. โReally? Let me see them!โGerald smiled and turned. โOkay. Letโs go.โConnor teared up watching the two of them leave.Wasnโt Mrs. Howardโฆ a little too easy to reassure?In a short moment, Gerald took North to Madam Brackenโs backyard.Madam Bracken

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 wasnโt 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. Hmmโฆ 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, โWhatโs going onโฆ?โGerald looked at her silently.He also wanted to ask what was going on.โNorth, do you need my help?โNorth 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, โMomโฆ If you knew this was going to happen, why didnโt you adjust your act earlier!โPatricia was furious. โI did all of this for you. How could you fall for Geraldโs tricks?!โโBut Gerald was right. They suspect that Iโm not Paigeโs son because of you!โโฆGiselleโs smile became more and more sarcastic. When the Bracken family disappeared, he said, โAccompany me pay respects to Paige. Also, get someone to clean Glass Manor inside and out.โHe wanted to get rid of the bad vibes the Bracken family had brought in.โฆA 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

โWhy? Do you think that Iโve forgotten how Paige died?โGiselle never expected that this shameless family would have the audacity to make an issue out of Paigeโs death.โYou 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?โStill, the only person the Bracken family has ever had to sacrifice was Paige!โVirgil snapped, โNonsense! Iโm Paigeโs biological father, how could IโฆโGiselle sneered. โStop putting on an act. You didnโt look for your daughter when she was missing. You didnโt 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.โVirgil, Iโm sick. Iโm not dead yet, and I havenโt lost my memory. If this happens again, Iโll destroy the entire Bracken family!โGiselle looked at the bodyguards she had brought

The surroundings suddenly fell silent.Virgil found it hard to breathe. โLet go! Are you crazy?!โโIโm asking you a question. Where is Paige buried? Tell me!โVirgilโs brain was deprived of oxygen. Without thinking, he roared, โHow would I know? Let go, you crazy woman!โPatricia screamed, โMadam Giselle, what are you doing? Let go of him. Do you want Dad to die?โGeraldโs second uncle also shouted, โMadam Giselle, why are you doing this to us? Donโt treat your husband like this!โโYou donโt know? You donโt know at all, do you?โ Giselle ignored everyone. She looked unremorseful. She scoffed.โYou claim to be severely depressed about your daughterโs death,โ Giselle retorted. โDespite that, you actually donโt know where your daughterโs grave is!โAs 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. โYou did this on purposeโฆโThat wa

Mike said weakly, โNorth, we paid our respects to my mother before we went out today. We didnโt say anything because we were afraid that Grandpa wouldnโt be able to accept it.โAs expected, Virgil clutched his chest and looked like he was about to faint.Patricia cried out, โGerald, are you satisfied now that your grandfather is trembling in anger? Weโve kept it a secret for so many years. Despite thatโฆโEveryone sighed. So, that was how it was.It was indeed Ms. Paigeโs 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. โ

Everyone was dumbfounded. North was really bold!North blinked. โWhatโs wrong, Mr. Virgil? Why are you so angry? Did I say something wrong?โโWhat nonsense! Paige is my daughter! How could I intentionally let her die?!โNorth widened her eyes. โI didnโt say that you intentionally let her die! Itโs just that the Bracken family didnโt like her and looked down on her. The medical staff didnโt care about her either. In the end, they didnโt even treat her and let her die.โI know. Itโs not your fault. After all, you were so busy. How could you have the time to take care of a daughter you donโt love?โVirgil clutched his chest. โWhat nonsenseโฆ! Shut up!โโNorth!โ Patricia screamed. โGerald, are you just going to watch her anger your grandfather? Your grandfatherโs health isnโt goodโฆโโWhat did I say wrong?โNorth sighed. โLook at what Mr. Virgil said. Ms. Paige passed away at the end of May, so why didnโt he treat her for two whole months from the end of March to the end of May?โTh

Mike knew that he had fallen into Northโs 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. โUmโฆ IโฆโโMike!โ 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.โGerald, what nonsense are you talking about?! Weโre family. If you have anything youโre upset about, just tell me. Thereโs no need to cause trouble at the banquet and make an issue out of Paigeโs death anniversary!โWeโre all Paigeโs family, and Dad is also Paigeโs biological father. How can we not know when her death anniversary is?โPaigeโs death anniversary is at the end of May. Itโs not today at all. Youโฆ Youโre too much!โVirgil looked aggrieved. He nodded and said, โThatโs right. Paigeโs death anniversary is in May. Gerald, I know you donโt want to give up her inheritance. Moreover, I didnโt fo

Everyoneโs eyes fell on Gerald.Gerald looked up slowly and said calmly, โMs. Patricia, why did you choose today to hold a banquet for Mike?โโIt doesnโt matter what day I chose!โ Patricia roared.โSo, you did choose the date.โGerald looked down at Patricia from above. His cold gaze made Patricia suddenly feel suffocated.Her โsonโ had a murderous look in his eyes. โAny other day would have been fine, but not today.โPatricia hated the look in Geraldโs eyes the most. Why was he so arrogant? Why was he looking down on her? Why was he like that b*tch?She screamed, โGerald, Iโm your mother! Mike is your brother! Itโs fine if you donโt love me, but you keep finding fault with me. What right do you haveโโโToday is the anniversary of Paigeโs death.โGerald interrupted her.Patriciaโs 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 Paigeโs d

Patricia felt a lump in her throat. โYouโฆโโConnor, come out.โ 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 โPaigeโ, 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 Paigeโs 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 Mikeโs banquet!After paying her respects, North turned around. โWhat are you waiting for? Arenโt you going to pay your respects?โ
