North had gotten a call from Nicholas just now while she had been upstairs. Nicholas said that Pete had come to Peacevale and wanted to have a meal with her.

North was very excited as she waited outside the mall.

Not long afterward, someone with an otherworldly presence showed up in her line of sight. He was walking over with Nicholas next to him.

North excitedly jogged over. “Uncle Pete!”

Pete was in his early forties. Though there were signs of age on his face, he carried himself with an easy confidence. He also had an innate pride that spoke of someone cultured. When he saw North coming, he nodded languidly. “Always so impetuous.”

North was still very excited. “How come you’re in Peacevale in person?”

A hint of bitterness flashed in Nicholas’s eyes.

Pete sneaked a peek behind North. He smiled as he said, “I heard you got married. Where’s your husband? Why didn’t he come?”

North was stunned for a moment. She had not seen Pete in ages. Why did he not ask after her? Why was he

    Veronica got into a roll the more she talked. “North doesn’t even know who Pete Reuben is. Sharon, even if you’re kind, you shouldn’t make friends with someone like that! She’s just a country bumpkin. She doesn’t deserve to be your friend!”Veronica raised her voice, and many people in the vicinity looked over. These people could not help but feel shocked. How could someone not know who Pete Reuben was?! It was true that North was a country bumpkin. She could not even change her poor taste even after returning to elite society.Sharon waited for Veronica to finish bashing North before shaking her head in a show of fake niceness. “Veronica, stop saying that. If other people overhear, they might think we’re talking about North behind her back. That’s not nice…”“But I’m right! Why can’t I say it?! She’s not like you, Sharon. You’re accomplished and from a scholarly family. North can’t compare with you!”Pet’s eyebrows furrowed. Who were these two women? They seemed absolutely mean

    Veronica could not control herself. She said in a strange tone, “Sharon, she earned this money by sleeping around. It would be a waste if she doesn’t get to buy the clothes.”North turned around coldly. Sharon sounded helpless as she said, “I was wrong last time. I’ve been trying to find the opportunity to make it up to you. Since you rejected the tickets to Pete Reuben’s art exhibition, how about I pay your shopping bill today? It will be a token of apology.“As for this gentleman…”Sharon bit her lip. She said significantly, “You’re a married woman, after all. You shouldn’t act too close with this man. 150,000 dollars isn’t a small amount. I’m worried that your reputation will be tarnished if this gets out.”North scoffed. Sharon was indeed a formidable opponent. She was able to twist the truth with just a few words and make it sound like a done deal that she was having an extramarital affair.Veronica told the salesperson delightedly, “Did you hear that? Put this bill on the

    North blinked. She was abruptly taken aback.When had Gerald gotten here…?Had Gerald seen the way she fought back against Sharon and Veronica?Veronica looked annoyed at being interrupted. Curses started spilling out of her mouth. “Who do you think you are to tell me off for bad upbringing? Do you know who I am?!”Gerald looked up absentmindedly. His gaze was icy.Veronica was shocked by the sight. However, she knew she could not embarrass herself in front of North. She barreled on. “North, this isn’t another of the men you’ve slept with, is he? You’re simply…”“Veronica!” Sharon quickly spoke up to cut Veronica off. She clenched her teeth and put on a warm smile. “I didn’t know you were here too, Gerald.”Gerald looked very intimidating. Sharon’s face was going pale when he had not even spared her a single look.When Veronica heard the name Gerald, she finally realized who this man was. In an instant, she was terrified. “M-Mr. Gerald?!”She was done for… She had actually los

    Veronica was shaking all over, and the terror made her stutter. “That’s right. This man spent 150,000 dollars on North. Who else could he be but her sugar daddy…?”“It looks like the Lane family doesn’t know how to raise its kids right. But what can one expect when the older generation has such poor character as well?” Gerald interrupted her. Veronica did not understand. She hurried to point out, “Mr. Gerald, I’m talking about North…”“It’s exactly because the older generation of the Lane family enjoys being sugar daddies to young women so much that you thought North and her uncle have such a relationship, Miss Lane. It never occurred to you that he could be her uncle, only her sugar daddy.”Gerald spoke casually. “This means that the whole Lane family is so ludicrous that you were affected by this worldview. That’s why you thought everyone is like the elders in your family, Miss Lane.”There was no way Veronica could misunderstand now.Why did Sharon and Veronica think that thi

    North did not understand what Pete meant.Pete was at a loss. He wanted to say something more, but Gerald had already walked over. “The Lane family is in a little trouble. Sharon won’t have the time to make trouble for you anymore.”North rolled her eyes to herself.She could handle a pretentious b*tch like Sharon. She would knock every one of them down no matter how many came at her.However, North said aggrievedly, “Okay then. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do if Miss Sharon comes and causes me trouble. They were both so scary!”Pete suddenly started coughing violently.He wanted to say something to move on from this discussion, but Gerald unexpectedly gave a warm laugh. “Don’t worry. Next time someone bullies you, you can get some security guards to beat them up. I own this mall, so they will all take your orders.”Pete thought to himself, “It’s happening again. He believes everything North says. Isn’t this man foolish?”Before Pete could even finish his thought, North

    Gerald paused for a moment before letting out an unamused laugh.“Mr. Reuben, you underestimate North.”How could North not be special?Plainly speaking, North was the most eye-catching of the wealthy young women in Peacevale. It was just that typical people could not see how she shined. Gerald replied casually, “I chose her because of fate, Mr. Reuben. She’s great.”Pete’s eye twitched. “Is that so? Is it because of fate? Here I thought someone like you would choose North because you knew her from before, Mr. Gerald.”Pete was surreptitiously testing Gerald to see whether he was that man. Four years ago, North had been covered in blood while with that man. If it was Gerald…“Know her?” A shimmer flitted past Gerald’s eyes. “Well, I do have some recollection of her. Five years ago, Starlight hacked Deep Pool Corporation’s mainframe. I remember that very distinctly.”Pete was speechless. He never anticipated that his testing of Gerald would result in him getting some dirt on No

    Pete nearly choked. He felt in despair as he said, “Alright then. Go home now. I’ll pick you up for the art exhibition the day after tomorrow.”He had to let it go. North could not see what was going on, while Gerald was a foolish man who believed everything North said. He would not bother with them any longer.…Back at Royal Sights Residences, North asked curiously, “Gerald, what did Uncle Pete chat with you about?”Gerald paused in his footsteps. His expression did not change as he said, “He was worried that I wouldn’t take good enough care of you, so he gave me a few pointers.”“Uncle Pete is too protective. I can live very well on my own.”The moment North went inside, she got a strange feeling. Her eyes narrowed as she shot her gaze over to the couch. Then, she was abruptly taken aback.There was an uninvited guest sitting on the couch.It was Ronald South.North never imagined that she would ever stumble into Ronald in such a situation. However, it seemed that Ronal

    North did not expect that Ronald would leave so soon. It had only been five minutes. She felt that there was something wrong with all of this.It was strange. If Ronald and Gerald were father and son, why did they act like enemies?In the information she got, it never said that Ronald had a bad relationship with his son.North massaged her temples. After thinking about it for a long time without any result, she decided to head into the bathroom.She liked to have a bath whenever she could not figure something out.Half an hour later, she finished her comforting bath. North was about to head outside when she suddenly realized…She had not brought her pajamas!Also, Steward had taken her bathrobe to be washed in the morning. There was only a medium-sized towel in the bathroom. It could not even be wrapped completely around her body.North swallowed. What was she going to do now? Should she go outside just like this?Although the bathroom was attached to the master bedroom, the b

    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?”
