“Are you sure that was just a glass of wine?”

Everyone was confused. What did she mean?

Melinda’s expression shifted slightly. Then, she smiled in resignation. “What are you talking about, North? Isn’t that a glass of wine? I know he ruined your jacket, but it’s not like you’re poor. Let’s not hold grudges for the sake of holding them, alright?”

North laughed even more coldly.

Seeing this, Melinda pretended to put on a generous attitude and said disapprovingly, “North, I may be your younger sister, but there are some things I need to tell you anyway.

“It’s the school banquet today. What if you end up embarrassing the whole school because you made a scene? You’re already a grown woman, so you can’t mess around like you did when you were a child.”

North gave her a barely noticeable smile.

Melinda sure was smart.

First, she bribed the waiter. Then, she criticized her from atop her moral high horse by asking why she was pursuing the matter when she did not even get hurt.

    Everyone’s words wormed their way into Melinda’s ears. She went pale and started trembling.“Stop being so mean. This has nothing to do with Melinda!” At that moment, a man’s voice rang out angrily. Simon rushed over to shield Melinda. He shot North a disgusted glare.“Melinda has been with her lecturer the whole time, so she wouldn’t have had the chance to bribe a waiter into splashing acid on you! How could you be so vicious? How could your life be worth more than hers?!”Melinda secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Right, she had an alibi.North chuckled coldly. It looked like the acid splashing was not Melinda’s idea, but Simon’s.North nodded. “Fine. We’ll investigate this, then. We’ll check this waiter’s bank transactions, where the acid came from, and who he’s met with. There are security cameras everywhere on campus. It wouldn’t be hard to find out what happened.”“North…” Melinda wept. “It pains me to see that you almost got hurt, but you can’t go around accusing people

    Due to Gerald’s orders, no one in the entire banquet hall came over to see what was going on.When Simon realized that a woman just hit him, he was enraged, “How dare you, North Myers?!”Bam! North landed another punch on him without the slightest change in her expression. “You must be joking, Mr. Simon. If you have the balls to try to disfigure me, why wouldn’t I have the balls to hit you?”“I’m the heir to Boyle Corporation!” Simon screamed. “If you offend me, then you’re dead meat!”Melinda interrupted them gently. “Don’t do this, North. Simon didn’t try to kill you. Can’t we talk about this…”“Shut up! If you keep talking, I’ll beat you up too!”By the end of the beating, Simon was not even shouting anymore. He was sore all over. How could a woman beat him up this hard?North loomed over him with a smile. “Mr. Simon, if calling the cops won’t fix this, I can always resort to the most primitive solutions. Do you understand?”“Just you wait, North! I’ll get you expelled!”

    “I think it’s your son who deserved what he got,” North said coldly as she came in with slightly raised eyebrows.Triumph flashed in Mrs. Fields’ eyes when she looked at North. The Myers had bribed her to give Melinda the design competition’s candidacy, but North was unhappy with that.What right did she have to be unhappy? What kind of fuss could one student kick up?How was North even supposed to get out of this mess now that she had offended the Boyles?Mrs. Boyle shot to her feet with a twisted expression and stared at North. “You’re that b*tch?!”North scoffed. “Many of the students saw your son pay someone off to splash acid on me. Do you really think you’re in a position to yell at me?”“How dare you!”Mrs. Boyle thought that North deserved to be splashed with acid! Anyone who offended her son deserved to die.“You should be honored that my son was targeting you! You call her your student, Megan Fields? How dare she talk back to me?!”Megan Fields was Mrs. Fields’ full

    Gerald casually read Boyle Corporation’s financial reports. A few moments later, Connor knocked on the door and entered. “Mr. Gerald, Mr. Boyle from Boyle Corporation wants to see you.”Gerald smiled. Usually, he did not need to meet unimportant people like him. However, he nodded in amusement. “Sure.”Mr. Boyle stumbled in. He fell to his knees with a thud the moment he saw Gerald. “Please spare us, Mr. Howard. Spare Boyle Corporation!”This morning, Boyle Corporation’s stocks got shorted, and all its stocks were sold off at incredibly low prices. All its supply chains were cut off, and Mr. Boyle had no idea what happened. He only found out Gerald had something to do with this after asking many different people for information.However, he also had no idea what he had done to offend him!As Mr. Boyle knelt on the floor, he heard nothing but silence above him. A while later, Gerald finally snorted.“Do you want to keep your company, Mr. Boyle?”Mr. Boyle shuddered. He was so s

    Pete narrowed his eyes and scanned the other two women in the office. Megan was secretly overjoyed. North’s uncle was here?She had never heard of Henry Myers having a brother. That meant North’s uncle had to be some penniless relative who was not worth fearing.So, she started yelling immediately, “So, you’re North’s uncle? You seem like you’re up to no good, either. Your niece just got expelled, but if you ask her to bow to Mrs. Boyle, I just might…”“Mrs. Boyle?” Pete said with a coldness in his voice. It was as if saying her name alone disgusted him. “Who exactly do you want to drive out of Peacevale?”Mrs. Boyle was still angry, so she started yelling even more viciously, “Are you deaf? I mean your disgusting wh*re of a niece…”Before she could finish her sentence, she got a good look at Pete’s face.This man… He was… Everything she wanted to say got stuck in her throat as her face paled. Rage turned to fear as she stammered out, “You’re… You’re…”Pete Reuben?!North

    Gerald stepped forward. His sharp gaze swept past Megan before he leaned in and asked North, “Are they bullying you?”The hand North had just used to slap Mrs. Boyle was still stinging, so she complained loudly. “Mrs. Boyle wanted to avenge Simon, so she said that the acid attack was just harmless fun. She forced me to apologize and drop out of university, too.”Gerald’s gaze turned frigid. Before he could say anything, however, he heard several male voices outside.“Mr. White, my sister excelled both in her academics and in her moral duties as a student of your university. The Harlows demand an explanation for this today.”As Mr. White pushed the door open, he shot Megan a disappointed look. Three men were following him.After Roque finished talking, Nicholas frowned. “North is the Shermans’ only daughter, Mr. White. Why is your lecturer calling her a wh*re?”Ivan went one step further and named Megan outright. “Just because North keeps a low profile, doesn’t mean she doesn’t

    Pete Reuben felt that this woman deserved what she got. Didn’t she love abusing her power? Now, she would have to go back to square one. Every time she remembered this day, all she would feel would be despair and pain.North could not even be bothered to look at her, so she walked right out of the office.Mr. Boyle breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like he had just lost half his lifespan.Heaven knew how much hope he had lost when Gerald told him that his son had paid someone off to do a hit job. And on Mrs. Howard, no less… He was a terrible son. The worst son!Still, he was just a son of his. He did not care. Simon was just an illegitimate son, and he had no shortage of those!From that moment on, Simon was no longer the Boyle family’s heir.His life was changed forever, thanks to Melinda.…That afternoon, the cops put up a notice.Simon was sued for hiring someone to physically assault North, so he got abandoned by his family while Mrs. Boyle got divorced.

    Gerald’s tone was entirely calm. “I ordered some bespoke formal dresses and jewelry for you some time ago. But I never had the chance to give them to you. Today’s a good day to collect them so that you can wear them for the auction.”Bespoke jewelry… North gulped. “What kind of jewelry?”“A whole set of rare purple diamond jewelry.”North choked and started coughing. Was it that set of rare purple diamonds?She remembered when the diamond set was put up for auction six months ago. Nicholas had joined the fray, and she heard that someone had gotten it with a bid of 1.9 billion dollars. North even exclaimed at the time that the world sure had a lot of rich people.As it turned out, the one who bought that diamond set was actually Gerald.He even turned it into bespoke jewelry for her to wear to the auction.North refused him politely, “Wouldn’t that be too flashy, Gerald?”Gerald said calmly, leaving no room for doubt, “Mrs. Howard, anyone who stands by my side is bound to grab

    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?”
