North instinctively wanted to turn around but forcefully held back the urge. “It’s got nothing to do with me. He doesn’t have to tell me why.”

It seemed that Abraham saw right through her. “Is it that you can’t be bothered to ask, Ms. North, or that you don’t dare to ask?”

The question was a simple one, but the connotations were drastically different.

If she could not be bothered, then it meant that North did not care for Gerald at all. Thus, she did not trouble herself to care who Gerald spent his time with.

If she did not dare to ask, then it meant that she cared about Gerald too much. So much so that she did not hear his answer.

North frowned and sidestepped this trap. “I don’t want to talk about Reina at all.”

Abraham’s smile widened. “Then do you like Gerald, Ms. North?”

North felt like Abraham was only here to make her life difficult. Why did he have to keep asking her questions she could not answer?

When he saw her keep quiet, Abraham’s eyes flashed, and he stopped askin

    Gerald’s figure was steady as he darted swiftly toward North. His gaze was focused on her only. Amidst the panicked cries and shouts, he caught up to North. “Give me your hand!”Two minutes ago, North had noticed something wrong with her skis. No matter how she tried to regain her balance, her skis always angled to the left. Although she forced herself to stay calm and tried many ways to stop, she only kept going faster.Right then, she heard a man’s voice telling her to give him her hand.North suddenly came out of her messy thoughts. “Gerald?”“Yes, it’s me.”When he saw that North was about to ram into the barrier, Gerald’s gaze suddenly turned grim. “Trust me!”North did not hesitate any longer. She used all her strength to throw herself into Gerald’s embrace. Gerald timed it well and managed to catch her. The great force hurtled them both onto the snowy ground.North heard a loud crack, as if someone had hit a rock.She felt the world spin around her. But although she felt

    Nathan waved a hand to disperse everyone from the scene.Gerald watched as North and Abraham left. Then, he lowered his gaze as if thinking about something. Seeing this, Reina came up with a plan. She said huffily, “How could North do that? Gerald, let me apologize to you on her behalf. “She has been like this ever since she was young. She’s always been good with men, not just Mr. Abraham. All men love her. She doesn’t attract them actively. It’s just that she doesn’t know her boundaries, and it causes men to misunderstand.”Reina sighed heavily. “You’re a married couple, but she went with Mr. Abraham right in front of you. It’s our fault for not bringing her up well. Don’t be mad, Gerald.”Nathan nearly let out a laugh from the frustration. Was Reina serious? This was so fake!Reina was saying that North liked stringing men along and had impure intentions. However, how pure could Reina be when she was taking up the time of another woman’s husband?Gerald suddenly turned to

    “North, I promised Reina I would give her three favors.”North was huffy. “It doesn’t matter? Are you saying that you should treat her well just because she saved your life?”Gerald’s smile widened. He approached North and held the prickly woman softly in his arms. “This is Reina’s third favor. Once I complete it, I won’t have anything to do with her anymore.”North was stunned. “Her third request is for you to go on this ski trip with her?”Gerald replied, “Yes.”North found this strange. Anyone else would kill for three favors from Gerald. It was obvious that Reina could ask for something much better. Why was her last request so simple?Was a trip like this enough to repay Gerald’s life debt?Her first request was to get out of the country. Back then, Reina had tried to have North murdered. Since North had proof, Reina was afraid that she would be sued, so she had to hide out abroad.The second request was for Gerald to invest 100 million dollars in the Myers Corporation. A

    W-What?North’s mind went blank. Before she could react, someone pressed their lips to hers. “I—”“Don’t say a word.” Gerald’s lips were cool to the touch. Desire burned in his eyes, and he let it control his entire being.Gerald looked like a guardian angel when he was calm and watched over the world with aloof passivity.However, at the moment, his pupils were blown wide with desire. It was like Gerald was a god that North had tempted into sin.Slowly, he kissed his way down her forehead, eyes, and nose before finally looking at her lips.North’s breathing got heavier. “Aren’t you going to take a shower? I think…”Gerald’s fingers brushed her face. His tone was gentle, but he clearly did not plan to let her off the hook. “Remember this: don’t test my limits next time.”She let out a grunt. Her gaze slowly became unfocused as her body turned into jelly. “Gerald…”“Yes?” The kiss was so heated that North quickly lost control over her thoughts.…The next morning, when North

    “Woah… look at the hickey on North’s neck. Could Mr. Heard have been the one to give her that? She has some nerve! Both Gerald and Nathan Howard are right here, and yet she’s sleeping with other men. She’s so shameless!Mrs. Heard roared, “North Myers! I saw my husband exit your room with my own eyes! You b*tch! What were you two doing last night?!”Reina helped her up and said pointedly, “Let’s talk about this nicely, Mrs. Heard. If North really did something to hurt you, we’ll make sure that justice is served.”North scoffed as she watched the two of them play along with each other.She put down her glass and then spoke softly, “Did you say you saw him come out of my room with your own eyes, Mrs. Heard?”Mrs. Heard froze, looking a little tense and nervous.She did not see him with her own eyes, actually. She had simply woken up to realize that her husband was not with her, while Reina had hastily sent someone over to tell her that she spotted Mr. Heard and North had exited the

    The moment Mr. Heard heard North’s name, his eyes became shifty, and he suddenly knelt in front of his wife with a loud thud. “I’m sorry, honey! I really had nothing to do with what happened last night. North was the one who seduced me!”Everyone looked at North in shock.In between his sniffling and crying, Mr. Heard said, “I got drunk and walked into the wrong room. By the time I showered and laid down in bed, I knew something was wrong, but North had already stripped naked and laid down beside me. It all happened so fast…”“Ah!” Mrs. Heard was enraged and charged toward North while waving her hands as if she wanted to claw her face off. “How could you be so shameless? Are you trying to sleep with everyone’s husbands, you sl*tty wh*re?! Apologize! Now!”Reina sounded like she was trying to suppress something. “North… you already have such a good husband in Mr. Howard. Why couldn’t you be content with him? Why do you insist on getting involved with Mr. Heard? Not only have you rui

    Mrs. Heard acted like she had caught North red-handed. “That’s right!”Reina put on a look of resignation. “North, I won’t tell Mr. Howard even if you really did have an affair, as long as you repent. But you’re acting like it’s not a big deal. Seriously, I…”“You need to tell him, Ms. Reina. You can’t just leave him in the dark!”“Yeah, I know you’re kind-hearted, but North has gone too far!”“North, what more can you ask for with a sister like her? No wonder the Myers won’t pay you any attention, I can’t believe their heiress is such a disgrace…”North put a hand to the hickey on her neck. Then, she suddenly smiled. “Are you saying you’re doing this for my own good, Reina?”The more Reina looked at the hickey, the more it was an eyesore to her. Forcing a smile, she replied, “Yes, we promise that news about your seduction of Mr. Heard won’t spread. Just apologize to Mrs. Heard, and we’ll pretend this never happened.“Also, don’t pass off the hickeys other men gave you as Mr. Ho

    Gerald raised an eyebrow slightly. “An affair?”Someone in the crowd shouted, “Yeah! North cheated on you with Mr. Heard, and we have proof! We know exactly what happened!”Ms. Hall, the woman who tried, and failed, to mock North yesterday, shouted the loudest of them all. “Mr. Howard, we know how much you care about Ms. Reina, but you can’t let North get away with this! What kind of sisterhood is this? She doesn’t even see Ms. Reina as her sister!”“Yeah! What are you being this kind for, Ms. Reina? North would never appreciate it, and she was the one who shamelessly cheated on her husband with another married man. Why should you shoulder the blame?”Reina teared up, “Everyone, please stop talking… The hickey is proof that she slept with Mr. Heard…”Gerald chuckled, his fingertips ghosting over the hickey in a way that made North shiver. As she glared at him, Gerald said pointedly, “Since when did my hickey become Mr. Heard’s? Could it be…”He was speaking in a calm, totally emo

    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?”
