Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Up Chapter 255
Boom! Sharon felt like she had just been struck by thunder, and her mind had just blown up.Gerald’s words knocked some sense into everyone.Of course! If North was a better pianist than Sharon, and she was Ivan Ivory’s sister, how did she lose the tournament?Moreover, how did she get accused of “seducing the judges”?North put on a thoughtful tone. “Hmm… that’s weird. I play the piano better than Miss Sharon does, and yet she’s the champion. Did her skills go downhill that quickly, or… was there something fishy about that tournament? What do you think, Mr. Keys?”Sharon began trembling as she broke out into a cold sweat.Ryan gulped. “O-Of course there’s nothing fishy about the tournament. The judges all decided she was the winner, and the judging criteria were mostly objective.“M-Maybe the judges just liked Sharon more at the time…”“Really?” Ivan interrupted him mercilessly. “Even at a time like this, you’re still making up excuses for yourself!“If their performances wer

Sharon claimed she was ill and excused herself, but everyone knew the real reason she left.Madam Bracken said plainly, “If you know you’re sick, then you shouldn’t have left the house. Don’t ruin such an important day for me.”Sharon’s face paled. She could tell Madam Bracken was mocking her.However, the only thing she could do was grit her teeth and endure everyone’s disapproving gazes. “You’re right, Madam Bracken. I’ll be leaving, then.”She 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?“At this point, other people’s opinions don’t matter. You need to find a way to steal Gerald’s heart,” Mr. Lane said coldly. “Do I need to teach you everything?”Sharon 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. “Mr. Howard, North and I have some catching up to do…”“If you’re not siblings, then you wouldn’t mind if I stuck around while you talked, right?” Gerald smiled.Ivan gulped. He finally understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot. “Um… what do you think, North?”Gerald smiled at her. “May I tag along, Mrs. Howard?”North said nothing.She had the feeling that if she said no, she would not live to see another day.“S-Since Gerald wants to hear it, then let him hear. It’s not like you have any secrets you want to confide in me, right, Mr. Ivory?”Ivan got the hint, so he replied, “Alright. This way, please, Mr. Howard.”The 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, “Mr. Howard, I wanted to ask North about the Pianist Tournament fou

“I mean Mr. Howard no ill will, but since you married him, I’ll need to get to know him. Besides, Gerald’s been trying to track Starlight down. You need to be careful not to get busted.”“Got it. Get back in there.”After 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.…After 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, “Mr. Gerald, someone wiped all the information related to the Pianist Tournament back then. We found nothing.”Gerald narrowed his eyes. “Nothing at all?”“Yes, it was someone from North Aurope. I’m sorry I couldn’t do what you asked.”Gerald 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, wasn’t it obvious who they would choose?Patricia was so enraged that she was shaking. “You b*stard…”“Ms. Patricia.” North blinked. “What’s the difference between Gerald getting that land and your son getting it? You’re family!”She was throwing Patricia’s words right back at her. “Why aren’t you happy that your biological son is even more successful? If other people didn’t know the whole story, they’d suspect Gerald was the one you adopted.”Patricia’s face soured, and she said furiously, “Since when do you get to talk when I’m speaking to Gerald?! If he hadn’t been so greedy, I wouldn’t have come here to pick a fight with him either!”Greedy? North almost laughed at the logic.Instead, she pretended to sigh. “I was just a little sad. After all, it’s normal for people to reject Mike when Gerald’s so capable and powerful. How is it Gerald’s fault?”
Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Up Chapter 260
“But Mr. Mike’s different. He’s trash! What will he ever do without that land? Spend his days being useless and waiting for his death?” North said dramatically. “Gerald, Mr. Mike probably only had this one shot at success his entire life! Just let him have that victory! Oh, dear. I know you can’t relate to a piece of trash, but I think this was what Ms. Patricia wanted to say. I finally understand what she meant!”Everyone 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. Howard’s 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. “North… North…”North pretended not to understand her. “Don’t thank me, Ms. Patricia. I’m just doing it for everyone’s sake.”“Why, you!” 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 family’s heir?His gaze was so dark and mysterious that it made North feel nervous. “N-Nothing!”That 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. “Grandmother’s almost restored your mother’s design blueprint.”North’s eyes lit up and she instantly became energized. “Really? Let me see them!”Gerald smiled and turned. “Okay. Let’s go.”Connor teared up watching the two of them leave.Wasn’t Mrs. Howard… a little too easy to reassure?In a short moment, Gerald took North to Madam Bracken’s backyard.Madam Bracken

Gerald looked back and said with total certainty, “Trust me. My wife never needed fake concern like that.”Madam Bracken was a smart woman, so she instantly understood what was going on.“Gerald, she’s so similar to Paige. In that case, you really must protect her.”She was already powerless to change what happened to her daughter, but North was so similar to Paige that she wanted to protect her.Gerald narrowed his eyes. Based on what he knew about the Souths, maybe the condition that North needed to marry a South to get her inheritance was a trap from the start.That trap was clearly targeting North.But what about North made her worth targeting for the Souths?Was it the huge inheritance that Estella left behind? No, there was no way it was just that.…After returning from the Bracken mansion, Gerald got busy so North got a few days of precious peace and quiet.One week later, at Peacevale University, North was on the phone while walking at the same time. “The Souths have

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?”
