“Melinda, I’ve arranged everything. Someone will come over early tomorrow morning. Once you and Mr. Gerald are officially together, we’ll sell North to Mr. Paul.“You should enjoy your life with Mr. Gerald. Don’t feel guilty. After all, a b*tch like North only deserves to be with someone like Mr. Paul…”Gerald’s gaze became more and more thunderous.Melinda, Linda, and Paul Harrison.Very well. He would get his revenge on each of them.…Five minutes later, Gerald walked out of the guest room completely alert and sober.Connor quickly asked, “Are you alright, sir? How dare Melinda Myers try to set a trap for you?! I will go and teach her a lesson right now!”“I’ve knocked her out,” Gerald said absentmindedly. “How’s that Mr. Paul?”Connor replied, “Drunk, but still semi-conscious.”Gerald let out a chuckle. “Drag him into my guest room. I’ve left him a present.”Connor shivered all over. “Yes, sir.”“Also,” Gerald added blandly, “I would like to give Linda a present for h
Linda was violently taken aback, and a wave of terror spread through her.Hold on. If Gerald was out here… Who was in the bedroom?Linda’s mind was in a mess. “Mr. Gerald, h-how are you here…?”Gerald blandly looked up and said meaningfully, “Should I be inside and in bed with your daughter instead?”“I didn’t mean that!” A lump formed in Linda’s throat. She did not understand where she had gone wrong.Had Gerald not been in the room last night? That was impossible! She had seen Gerald get into bed with her own eyes!Could it be that Gerald was trying to get out of taking responsibility? Yes, that had to be it. Gerald must not want to take responsibility, which could not be tolerated! Linda and Melinda had gone through a lot to get to this point, so their efforts could not be allowed to go to waste!Linda suddenly covered her mouth and cried out, “Mr. Gerald, are you not going to own up to it? But last night someone heard you and Melinda…“I’m only trying to get an explanation
North raised an eyebrow. Ah, so Paul was supposed to be Melinda and Linda’s pawn. No wonder Linda and Melinda had insisted on her attending the party.Linda was still wailing. “North, it’s a done deal that Melinda and Mr. Gerald will be together. If you love him, you should accept this reality!”North clicked her tongue. The way Linda was putting it, North did not love Gerald if she disagreed with Melinda “joining their household”.She was about to speak up when someone else suddenly piped up first. Gerald said calmly, “Are you two trying to make my decisions for me?”In an instant, the place became silent.Linda’s heart skipped a beat, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself to laugh. “Mr. Gerald, Melinda has lost her innocence, after all. You have to take responsibility no matter what. I’m just trying to think of a win-win situation…”“Is that so? But Mr. Gerald was with me all of last night!”Suddenly, a middle-aged man interrupted Linda.It was Mortimer Banks from th
Who was inside the room…?Linda stumbled back. A terrible feeling rose in her gut.Gerrald had not been in the room last night. Instead, he had been in the conference room…Then what about Melinda?! Where was Melinda?!Linda dared not think about it. She stuttered as she retreated, “S-Since it wasn’t you, then forget it. There’s no need to know. You are all guests. It won’t be good if this escalates…”“It’s a shame then that I am very curious. Connor, open the door.”Once Gerald gave the order, Connor immediately went forward. As Linda watched in terror, he slowly pushed open the door.“No!” Linda abruptly pounced on him. However, it was too late!Someone shouted and pointed a trembling finger at the woman on the bed. “Isn’t that Melinda?!”Everyone instinctively looked over. Melinda’s face was flushed, and it was clear what had happened last night.Linda’s face went ghostly pale, and she was completely taken aback. In a frenzy, she rushed over and covered Melinda’s body with
After all, North had gone through a lot to be able to marry such a great man. But now, Melinda had ruined it all for her.It did not matter if Melinda was an illegitimate daughter! In the end, she was still going to be the high and mighty wife of Gerald Howard.At that thought, Melinda’s mood turned cheery. “North, I know you’re jealous of me, but there’s nothing to do about it. I’m already Mr. Gerald’s woman. I might even be pregnant with his child. Last night, we—”Her voice suddenly cut off, and all her words got stuck in her throat.North chuckled. “Yes? What did you do last night? Tell me, Melinda.”Melinda looked up and saw the mocking gazes of everyone gathered and immediately turned pale. She could not say a word.Why… Why were there so many people here…?Also, why was Gerald standing next to North? Why was he not in bed?!If he was not in bed, then who was…?“Melinda. Melinda, keep going…”Suddenly, a disgusting male voice came from beside her on the bed. His tone wa
Gerald’s tone was calm as he said, “I haven’t even pursued the matter of you and your daughter setting me up. And now you’re going to ‘get’ North?”Linda felt a shiver run down her spine.Gerald was placid. “I heard that Myers Corporation is facing a lack of funds. After taking up North’s spot for so many years, Melinda should contribute something to the Myers family, shouldn’t she?”Before North could say a word, Mortimer nodded helpfully. “Mr. Gerald is right. Miss North has done a lot for the Myers family all these years. Everyone can see that. If the illegitimate daughter is professionally incapable, she should at least be able to get married for connections, right?“It wouldn’t be right for Miss North to do so much for the Myers family while Miss Melinda does nothing but live the high life. Don’t you all agree?”No one in the crowd dared to offend Gerald. They quickly followed Mortimer’s lead. “Mr. Mortimer is right.”“What a coincidence that something has happened between M
Linda started screaming. It was obvious that the surprise was supposed to be North!Melinda was such a pretty and pure young lady. There was no way she could get married to Paul!Only a horrible wench like North could be used as a pawn in a marriage alliance.Gerald coldly regarded Linda and Melinda, who both seemed to have lost it.Grimly, he thought to himself that this was nothing. He still had not avenged North for all that she had suffered due to this mistress and her daughter.“Since Mr. Paul is willing to marry Melinda, then let’s get Mr. Henry here as well,” Gerald said casually. “After all, his daughter is going to get married. As the father, he had better be involved too.”Linda’s eyes sparked with a sudden joy. That was right. Henry would certainly help Melinda!As long as Henry had a say in this and Melinda cried a little, even Gerald would not be able to do anything about it. It was not as if Gerald could force Henry to marry his daughter off!Gerald could tell wha
Gerald clicked on the device and the recording played loud and clear for everyone to hear.“How could North land such a good man? Mom, how about I steal Gerald?”Henry was immediately frozen in place by the shock. He had never imagined that Melinda would be so bold. He abruptly turned to face her.Linda trembled all over. Sh*t, this recording could not get out. Otherwise, Melinda would be done for. However, it was already too late to stop the proceedings.In the recording, Linda said, “Melinda, Mr. Gerald will stay over tonight. You go and see him in the middle of the night. You’re much more attractive than North. Once you take your clothes off, I’m sure Gerald will waver! “Early tomorrow morning, I will go and ‘catch you in the act’ with some people. When you’re found in the same bed as Mr. Gerald, he will have no choice but to take responsibility!”Then, Melinda responded, “Thanks, Mom. Once I become Gerald’s wife, you should make North marry Mer. Paul. She would be so lonely
