It was not that she could not refuse Gerald, but she just could not bear to refuse him. How was that being vulnerable?

After the kiss, North got up with a slightly flushed face. “Mr. Steward said Mr. South’s been looking for you a lot recently. Do you want to come to the art exhibition with me the day after tomorrow? The Souths wouldn’t be able to get in without a ticket.”

Gerald nodded warmly at the wife he had just duped. “Okay.”

Outside, an eavesdropping Connor felt guilty and remorseful, he almost cried for his abandoned conscience.

Truly, Mr. Gerald would do anything to win his wife’s heart! How could he say something like that?

All that talk about being sensitive and not having a family… Since when did he care about stuff like that?

Connor himself had become an accomplice in Mr. Gerald’s crimes!

Connor silently looked to the heavens and decided to mess up Mike Howard’s plans a little.

After all, if he had not taken Mr. Gerald’s place and caused him so much suffering f

    Mrs. Lane’s expression twisted grotesquely. She felt like everyone was secretly laughing at her.The Lanes had gone through a lot of trouble for these two tickets. She had bragged about getting them for ages, and many rich wives had envied her for that.She even styled her hair today for Pete Reuben’s exhibition. But before she could even walk through the door, she was told that the tickets were invalid!Mrs. Lane had never been so humiliated before. “You had all better listen up! If you offend the Lanes, there will be hell to pay!”The ticket inspector’s face fell. “Madam…”“I’m sorry, my mother’s a bit emotional. She’s really passionate about the arts, that’s why she’s so worked up…” Sharon stepped forward and said gently. “My father got these tickets through legitimate means. There’s no reason for them to be invalid.”The crowd started to recognize her.“That’s Sharon Lane…”“Miss Sharon and Mr. Gerald are quite close, so there’s no way she’d get fake tickets.”The ticket i

    Mrs. Lane still had not figured out what was going on, so she was enraged. “It is your fault! Sharon wouldn’t have been barred from entry if it wasn’t for you!“How could a country girl like you appreciate traditional art? You’ve probably never even heard of Pete Reuben! Whose fault could it be, if not yours?”North blinked. “You sound confident, Mrs. Lane.”Mrs. Lane turned crimson. “You should be grateful I didn’t demand compensation from you, and yet you’re blocking my way? I’m telling you; I demand an explanation today or I’m staying here—”“An explanation? Sure.” A man coldly interrupted her.Pete Reuben appeared with a stormy expression. “If you insist on hearing an explanation, then don’t blame me for being blunt.”North was not stupid, so she immediately retreated behind Pete.Mrs. Lane was about to start yelling when the crowd got excited. “It’s Mr. Reuben himself!”“Mr. Reuben’s only in his forties, but he looks so young and handsome like an angel. The rumors were rig

    Sharon started shaking, and her face went white. Fear overwhelmed her like a tsunami.Pete shot Mrs. Lane a pointed look and said mockingly, “Do you understand now, Mrs. Lane? It’s not that your family offended me, but it’s that I’m not good enough for your family.”Immediately, dead silence followed.Everyone started to look at Mrs. Lane with contempt and mockery.She had just said Sharon was a kind person… Was she being kind when she spread rumors about Pete Reuben making his own niece his mistress?Everyone knew Pete Reuben was mild-mannered, and this was the first time he had been so angry. Then again, Sharon was the one who acted unreasonably just because he bought his niece some clothes. Who wouldn’t have been enraged by this?“The Lanes are so funny. First, they slandered Mr. Reuben and Miss North, and then they had the nerve to ask if they offended him?”“Isn’t it normal for Pete to spoil Miss North as her uncle? And yet Sharon insisted North was his mistress. Pete’s alr

    North blinked. She did not understand.Meanwhile, Pete kept talking disdainfully. “It’s just a Miss Sharon now, but there might be a Miss Melissa or even a Miss Rayla. That man can’t be trusted, kiddo. Why don’t we…”“Ahem!” North suddenly started clearing her throat. Wasn’t it bad for Uncle Pete to be badmouthing someone in front of them?However, Pete did not get North’s hint. “Are you sick? Why are you coughing?”North was so desperate to shut Pete up that she was coughing to the point of tears. “I-I’m fine. Let’s go in, Uncle Pete.”Pete nodded and then went right back to being disdainful. “You’re coughing so much, but where’s Gerald? He’s so inattentive to your needs! Kiddo, there are plenty of fish in the sea, let me introduce you to some of them…”North almost rolled her eyes. “Uncle Pete, I think…”“You’re right, Mr. Reuben. It’s my fault.”Pete’s expression froze.North suddenly felt like she could not watch what was going to happen.As Gerald slowly stepped forward,

    Even after North was done with classes, she was still thinking about what Gerald was doing at the South Manor.The Souths were clearly no match for him. The other day, when Mr. South came to Royal Sights Residences, he clearly had a favor to ask of Gerald. The Souths obviously had not treated Gerald well, either. Was Gerald actually going over to help them?North instantly became frustrated and got in a hurry to go home.“North.” Her lecturer unexpectedly called her name. “How are your preparations for the design competition going?”A month ago, Peacevale University had planned to send a candidate for the design competition.Since North won the campus-level competition, that spot was naturally hers.“Not bad. Why?” she asked.To her surprise, the lecturer’s face fell. “North, about the competition… you don’t need to go anymore. We found someone else.”North instantly narrowed her eyes. “Really? But I remember the school has always sent whoever won the campus-level competition.

    North stopped in her tracks and narrowed her eyes.Melinda said viciously, “Dream on. There’s no way that scar would heal!”North turned around and walked up to Melinda. She leaned close to grab her chin with a smile.“No way? I wasn’t sure why it wouldn’t heal no matter how many doctors I consulted, but I finally figured it out. That knife had poison on its blade.” North whispered in Melinda’s ear, threateningly, “Let me guess… That kidnapping was actually your and Linda’s doing. Your goal was to disfigure my face, but something went wrong, and it was my neck that ended up disfigured.”Melinda’s face fell. She stared at North, unable to say a word. “Want to know how I guessed?” North scoffed. “You two are petty and vicious, so you’d do anything to steal a man. You envied my good looks and my excellent arranged marriage, so you did everything you could to take it from me. Wasn’t that such an easy guess?”Melinda gritted her teeth.She was right. That kidnapping really was Lin

    Eiger’s expression instantly soured. “T-That’s not Melinda’s fault, either! You were ugly, to begin with, and you’ve failed to get the scar treated for so many years! Melinda was just trying to get you to accept reality!”Melinda’s eyes filled with joy upon seeing North getting insulted. “That’s what I told her, Eiger. But not only did she refuse to listen, but she even got a third-rate doctor to treat her. I was just worried that her injuries would get worse.“I didn’t expect North to misunderstand me. North, I really want you to get better. That way, Eiger won’t feel trapped by being indebted to you for saving his life anymore.”Eiger’s expression became disgusted. It did not if North saved him! Was saving his life that one time worth talking about for so long? If she had not saved him, he would have gotten together with Melinda ages ago!This was all North’s fault!Eiger’s rage consumed him, and he blurted out, “Why didn’t you just die? Since you saved me, why didn’t you go a

    Eiger gulped with some difficulty. “You’re… You’re my youngest uncle…”North froze.If Abraham was Eiger’s youngest uncle, was he Mr. South’s son too? Judging by how fearful Eiger looked, was Abraham the real South family heir?However, she had heard Mr. South call Gerald his son.Meanwhile, Melinda was terrified.His youngest uncle? Why was the South family heir defending North? That b*tch already had Mr. Howard. Why was she going around seducing other people?!Abraham smiled slightly. “Are you still refusing to apologize, Ms. Melinda?”Before Melinda could respond, Eiger pushed her head down and forced her to bow. “Uncle… I mean, North, Melinda and I are sorry. Please don’t hold any grudges. Apologize, Melinda!”Melinda hated Eiger for being such a coward. Still, she gritted her teeth. She was filled with so much humiliation that she almost passed out. “I’m sorry, North…”North raised an eyebrow. She was in a great mood now. “Get lost.”Eiger quickly got out of there. The

    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?”
