“That’s Mr. Nathan next to Ms. North, right? If she has even Mr. Nathan’s approval, then she must be Mr. Gerald’s future wife.”“Didn’t Mr. Gerald give the villa in Lakeview Bay to some woman? Ms. North is so lucky.”Nathan became very agitated when he heard this. “Yes! North, I wanted you to take me to the Lakeview Bay villa. That’s the villa I was interested in. How could Gerald just give it to you?!”North frowned.Nathan thought that she did not want to take him. “I just want to have a look. It’s not like I’ll steal it from you. After all, women need their own assets. What if Gerald doesn’t want you anymore one day? Won’t you lose both your man and your resources?“Let me tell you something. The market price of the villa in Lakeview Bay is almost two billion dollars. Gerald is really great to you. He can just give you something worth two billion dollars. I don’t even get anything like that, and I’m his own brother.”North was silent for a beat. Suddenly, she interrupted him,
North’s words rendered everyone speechless.In the beginning, they did not know what relationship Reina had with the Myers family. They had thought that she and North were simply sisters. They did not expect that Reina was Linda’s daughter with another man. In that case, she had no blood relation to the Myers family, and North indeed did not need to use her mother’s resources to support her.Chasing Reina out of the Myers household also did not seem unreasonable.One of the women came back to herself and asked, “Melinda, why didn’t you tell us that?”“That’s right. You sounded so pitiful saying that North chased Reina out of the house and wanted us to criticize her. How laughable. Who would want to be sisters with a mistress’s daughter?”“Do you think you can just use us like that?”Melinda gritted her teeth in frustration. She stomped her foot hard and ran off in a huff.After class, North went back to Royal Sights Residences and opened Twitter. Reina was Linda’s daughter w
Gerald was quiet for a moment before he let out a playful laugh. “What in the world do you think of me privately, Mrs. Howard?”Did she think he was an old fossil who did not even know what Twitter was?North could tell what Gerald was saying. Her face reddened, and she forcefully changed the subject. “No, I just thought a successful person like you wouldn’t care about stuff like followers.”Gerald lifted an eyebrow. He heard a deeper meaning within her words.“If you think you have too few followers, Mrs. Howard, I can get Connor to handle that.”North quickly shook her head in response. “I’m not a celebrity. Why would I need so many followers? I just think that…” She trailed off.She was thinking that Reina only had so much support because of her twenty million fans.“What’s your Twitter handle, Mrs. Howard?” Gerald suddenly asked.North blurted out without thinking, “My name.”Gerald lowered his head. “Alright.”The next moment, North’s phone buzzed. A notification from Tw
North’s glare made Gerald’s heart tremble. He clutched North’s wrist and asked, “What is it?”North looked at him huffily.If Gerald could give Reina a villa worth twenty million dollars, that meant that he had known Reina for a long time. They might even have an intricate history together. Being friends with that woman told her that Gerald… had no taste at all!North shook Gerald off and took a step back. She turned and quickly stomped down the stairs. “I’m not hungry,” she repeated.Gerald raised an eyebrow.In the kitchen, North grabbed two slices of bread while Gerald stood to one side. “I thought you weren’t hungry, Mrs. Howard?”North paused in her actions. She felt a bit guilty at being caught.But then, she realized that she had no reason to feel guilty at all.North puffed up her chest and said, “I’m moody, okay?”Gerald’s gaze fell on her figure, and he chuckled softly. He said lowly, “At least you’re self-aware, Mrs. Howard.”A lump formed in North’s throat. She
Gerald, with his innate regality, was actually able to make Reina’s heart race. She did not care that he was married to North. North was only a country bumpkin. Reina would steal Gerald from her without a problem.“Mr. Gerald, you promised me in the past that you would fulfill any wish I have. Is it still in effect?”Gerald did not disappoint her. He replied, “What would you like?”Reina’s heart beat even faster. “Now, North has pushed the Myers Corporation to the brink. However, the company is my stepfather’s lifeblood. I can’t bear to see it fail. I hope that you can do something to help them, Mr. Gerald.”Gerald asked blandly, “Is this your second favor?”Reina sounded a little nervous. “Yes.”Gerald’s tone was nonchalant and impartial. “I will have Connor liaise with you. Once both favors have been completed, there is no need for us to interact anymore. Connor, please see Reina out.”Reina did not expect that she would only be in Gerald’s office for less than two minutes bef
Meanwhile, Henry nearly lost his balance when he heard that Deep Pool Corporation had invested a billion dollars in Myers Corporation.There were business partners calling him nonstop.“Mr. Henry, what do you think of that partnership mentioned last time?”“Mr. Henry, we were too hasty before. We didn’t think that you had such a relationship with Mr. Gerald. Please give us another chance!”“Congratulations, Mr. Henry. Once Reina marries Mr. Gerald, we hope you’ll help us out.”Henry was so excited that he could not contain himself. A billion dollars… Gerald had really given them a billion dollars!He swallowed. “Reina, what’s your relationship with Mr. Gerald?”Gerald had given them a billion dollars just like that. Who would have imagined that Myers Corporation could make a comeback at such a critical moment?Reina smiled. She said ambiguously, “The person Mr. Gerald cares about the most these days is me. What do you think?”Henry’s eyes lit up. He finally knew who he should
Gerald’s warm breath tickled North’s ear and made her face heat up. She said drily, “I assumed you don’t think of us as a married couple, Mr. Howard.”Gerald looked up and suddenly let out a sullen laugh. “So, you’re jealous.”Prompted by her shame, North abruptly felt angry. She was so not jealous! She was only angry!Gerald cut off her daydreaming. “Are you angry because of the billion dollars?”North turned away from Gerald and said stiffly, “That’s your money. You can give it to whoever you want. It has nothing to do with me.”Gerald immediately understood what North was upset about. “I’m not close to Reina. I’ve already gotten someone to deal with the trending topic on Twitter.”North shot a look at him. She could not help but say sarcastically, “Reina’s fans say no man can withstand her charisma. It seems that is true. You’re not close with her, but you could give her a billion dollars. If you were closer, would I still have any place by your side, Mr. Howard?”Gerald fo
In her heart, North really did not want to know the answer to this question. Before Gerald could respond, she pushed him again to speed outside.Gerald’s brows knitted together. He pulled her back and chained her in his embrace. “Mrs. Howard, I haven’t even answered you, so why are you running away?”North felt frustrated. “I don’t want to hear it.”Gerald caressed the back of her neck. “If she doesn’t ask for her final favor, I will give her money. After that, I will never interact with her again. Alright?”“Would it matter if I said it’s not alright? Wouldn’t you think I’m unreasonable if I don’t allow you to repay your debt? But I just can’t stand her. You can’t be with me if you have any relation with her!”North felt that she was being very irrational. “You go settle your life debt. We’ll talk once that’s done.”After saying that, she made to walk outside again.Gerald looked at North’s mouth, which kept saying things that did not reflect what she felt. He suddenly leaned d
