“A marriage of convenience?” Henry’s eyes lit up. However, the next moment, he hesitated. “She just backed out from a wedding. I don’t think any men would want to date her.” Melinda looked down as she said, “Dad, do you still remember Mr. Paul from Harrison Corporation? He couldn’t get North off his mind ever since he met her at the banquet last time. He wouldn’t mind that North has just backed out of a wedding.” Linda quickly played along with Melinda. “She’s right. Henry, Harrison Corporation’s scale is larger than our company. If Mr. Paul is willing to lend us a helping hand, our company can certainly overcome this financial crisis. Moreover, Mr. Paul’s net worth is over billions of dollars. North will have a good life if she marries him.” Henry instantly regained hope. “You’re right. Mr. Paul is an excellent man. Even though North’s reputation is tainted, we are kind enough to let her marry a wealthy man like him. “Unfortunately, North is a disobedient girl. She will cert

A thought flashed across North’s mind. Before she could figure it out, Linda said flatteringly, “North, why are you standing there? Have a drink with Mr. Paul.” Staring at Paul’s disgusting expression, North gave a sarcastic smile. “Why don’t you ask Melinda to drink with him?” Linda heaved a sigh. “Mr. Paul has laid his eyes on you. Melinda doesn’t share your good fortune. North, everyone can tell that he is a good man. Mr. Paul is more than enough for you. He doesn’t mind you backing out of a wedding. He also paid fifty million dollars as an engagement gift to marry you. This is your privilege!” North finally figured out what that weird feeling was. Harrison Corporation had invested fifty million dollars in Myers Corporation as Paul’s “payment” for her. Paul stared at North lustfully. “Ms. North, why do you refuse to drink my wine? Don’t you think you’re being too disrespectful?” North knew the wine was spiked. Her expression darkened. “Despite my dad’s old age, he’s a

North’s mind was in a mess. Her breathing raced as she subconsciously looked for a heat source around her. She felt as if millions of ants had gnawed her chest. She could not control her body. She helplessly remained in Gerald’s arms. Gerald wrapped one of his hands around her waist gently and typed on his phone with another hand. He sent a message to Colt. “Ms. North, I’ll take you to the hospital. You—” North pressed her soft lips against his. Within an instant, her warm and soft kiss made his heart skip a beat. North’s mouth felt dry. Even while drifting out of consciousness, her body was burning. She had no idea what she was doing. She instinctively kissed him to rid herself of the heat. Gerald’s breathing got hitched as he said with tension, “North, do you know who I am?” North raised her head from his arms. Her eyes lost focus “Gerald…” A great sense of emptiness hit North. She frowned. She could not relieve herself from the drug’s effects. As a result, her body a

North’s complexion kept changing. She was about to say something when she heard hasty footsteps outside the door. She also heard Linda’s hypocritical and disgusting voice. “Henry, don’t get angry. Perhaps North and Paul are truly in love with each other. She’s a grown-up now. Don’t blame her.” North’s expression darkened. If it hadn’t been for Linda and her group’s scheme behind the shadows, North would have thought Linda truly cared for her. Gerald gently brushed the corners of her eyes with his fingers. “Mrs. Howard, don’t worry. I’ll protect you.” … Ten minutes ago, news had spread like wildfire.It was the second day of the birthday banquet. The banquet had started. However, North, the daughter of Myers Corporation’s president, was absent. No one was inside the room either. Melinda then recalled something. She turned pale and told them that she seemed to have witnessed Paul carrying North upstairs. Melinda cried. “If anything happened to North, I would rather die.

The group did not expect North to open the door at that moment. Linda’s eyes flickered. North had not opened the door entirely. Besides, a man’s voice was heard from inside the room. “It looks like Paul is still around!” Linda acted like a caring stepmother. “North, I’m glad that you’re fine. Henry is so worried about you. Since you’ve opened the door, let us in.” North swept her glance across the group. “Open the door and let you in? No way.” Her words seemed to have lit a fuse. The group could not help but sigh and shake their heads. “You’re truly shameless! You still behave this way even at this moment. You offer yourself to a man for only a few pennies!” “Oh, my God! You don’t even mind sleeping with Mr. Paul! I believe the rumor about you cheating is true. You don’t deserve to be Melinda’s elder sister!” Meanwhile, Linda was pleased. North’s life should be this way. She should become Melinda’s stepping stone and make her last bit of contribution for the Myers fam

Melinda and Linda could hardly contain their emotions as they scanned the room in search of something.That was impossible. They clearly saw Paul taking North upstairs, and the drug should have made her completely powerless. What on earth happened?!Linda’s previously outspoken female backers were terrified. How could they possibly afford to offend Charlotte and Colt?If they had known, they would not have stood up for Linda!After taking in everyone’s expression, North sighed and said, “Dad, I’ve already told you that you can’t afford to offend the people that are in the room. Well done, you’ve successfully ruined Ms. Charlotte’s and Mr. Colt’s mood for the card game. I’d want to say kind things in your favor, but I’m not even sure where to begin right now.”After giving Gerald a quick glance, Colt narrowed his eyes and knowingly asked, “Judging from your attitude earlier, I would assume that you thought Ms. North was in the room doing something shameful.”Colt and Charlotte had

The crowd stopped in their tracks. Henry froze. From what he had noticed earlier, Colt and Charlotte would look toward the man and ask for permission before speaking. Obviously, the man’s status was entirely different and much higher than the Quinns. He could not afford to offend him. A drop of cold sweat fell from Henry’s forehead. “I don’t think I get what you mean.”“You don’t get it?” Colt gave Gerald a quick glance and scoffed. “Mr. Henry, didn’t you insist just now that Ms. North and Mr. Paul were fooling around, and you wanted to teach Ms. North a lesson?”“I—”Colt went on and cut Henry off. “Mr. Henry, I’m not sure why you thought Mr. Paul was in the room. Wouldn’t Ms. North have to endure injustice if we weren’t here today?” Subconsciously, Henry turned to look at Linda, and the crowd immediately turned to look at her as well. Linda’s expression went stiff, and she started crying overdramatically. “I-It’s not that I don’t believe in North. His assistant was the o

Something clicked in North’s mind. She suddenly lowered her head and choked out a sob. “Really, Dad? With everything as it is, you still place all the blame on me? But why didn’t you mention that I refused to meet Mr. Paul in the first place, and it was Mrs. Myers who forced me to drink with him?!“Yes, I’m the one to blame for everything. It’s my fault that Mrs. Myers can only be a mistress. You’re biased, and I can accept that, but I’m your daughter too. Do you really have to ruin the rest of my life in order to pave the way for your illegitimate daughter?!”Everyone was shocked. She was right. North had no one to lean on in this family, and she could only live under the control of the mistress. Colt spoke up as well. “Ms. North was drugged last night. I’m a doctor, I could tell. That type of drug is colorless, odorless, and is applied on the skin. Mrs. Myers was the only person who touched Ms. North’s hand yesterday. Do you really have no idea who drugged her, Mr. Henry?”Hen

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?”
