Chapter 259

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?”
