Gerald stood outside her room for a while before suddenly smiling in resignation.It was good enough that he got that far. Even a softie like North would only open up gradually.Gerald went back downstairs and slowly finished his ravioli. After washing the dishes, he left silently without alerting anyone else in the house.…The next morning, North woke up early so that she could get rid of the evidence. If Marlin discovered the bowls and utensils from yesterday, he would be sure to ask her a bunch of questions.But when she got downstairs, Mrs. Stubbs had already taken care of it.North gulped. “Mrs. Stubbs, did you wash the dishes from last night?”Marlin looked over amusedly.Mrs. Stubbs was confused. “Did I leave some dishes unwashed last night? That can’t be right.”Enduring Marlin’s gaze, North soldiered on and asked, “Were there any dirty dishes when you got here this morning, then?”Mrs. Stubbs shook her head. “Of course not, I clean everything up every day. The ravio
“The students called the police to no avail, and they felt completely miserable. So, the discipline committee said that if you don’t come to school, they will probably leave very soon. North, I’m sorry, but…” “Alright, I got it.” North nodded with a calm expression. “I’ll take time off and stay home during this period. But don’t worry, the truth will come to light very soon.” After she ended the call, her expression slowly turned cold. Just because Reina was a famous celebrity with a lot of fans, she used her influence to change the story and put the blame on someone else. After all, even if she did this, she would have her fans to defend her. She could tolerate Reina fighting against her, but she could not tolerate Reina dragging other innocent people into this mess. North’s cell phone started ringing again. It was a call from a business partner. “Ms. Myers, I’m sorry, but we place importance on the designer’s character. Your reputation has been ruined, and I believe no
In the hospital ward, Reina was still acting like a hypocrite. “Uncle Henry, please don’t be too strict on North. She’s not evil, she’s just young…” “She’s still young? Reina, you don’t have to put in good words for her anymore! She’s been spoiled by us since young. That’s why she did such an evil thing! “It’d be good if she’s willing to apologize. If she’s unwilling to do so, I’ll punish her! She’s not as good as you, but she’s always fighting with you on everything. How is it possible for me to have such a daughter?” Reina shook her head and said softly, “Uncle Henry, you can’t let North hear this. North thinks that she’s the daughter of the Myers family, so she’s higher in status than me. I’m fine…” Before she could finish her sentence, someone knocked on the door. North walked in with a half-smile on her face. The ward immediately became silent. “What are the things I shouldn’t be hearing?” She sat down aloofly in the resting area of the ward as if she did not care abou
Henry was choked up in anger. His face turned red. “North, you’re taking it too far…” “Reina is there!” “You see! That b*tch is with Reina too!” “Why would she bully Reina again? Reina is crying!” Right at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside of the ward. They could hear the fans’ curses. Reina’s eyes flickered, and she pulled out a sad face. She gave her agent a look. Her agent immediately looked helpless and upset. “Ms. North, Reina is your older sister. Isn’t it too much to wish death upon her?” The fans were furious when they heard that. They were rushing forward agitatedly. “She’s indeed a motherless b*tch. Let’s go teach her a lesson!” “We can’t let Reina get hurt. There’s a lot of us here so we have the upper hand. Let’s kill her!” Reina shouted hypocritically, “Please stay calm everyone. North is just playing a joke on me…” What she said made the fans even angrier. Reina was such a kind person. She was still helping North! Reina secretly s
Brother-in-law? Reina’s man? Regardless of whether it was in the past or not, they were husband and wife. Reina was not a part of this! She met Reina’s smug gaze and smiled suddenly. “So, Gerald has already turned into my brother-in-law. I didn’t know about that.” Gerald’s eyes narrowed as he stared coldly at Reina. Reina trembled and shook her head as she said, “Gerald, they’re talking nonsense. My fans are still very young. You don’t have to take what they say to heart. I know…” “Didn’t you ask me to come here to apologize to you?” North suddenly cut Reina off and stared coldly at her. “Why are you spewing so much nonsense? Do you want me to watch as you flirt with Gerald?” “North…” Reina suddenly sighed pitifully. “You’re my younger sister. You don’t have to apologize to me. Gerald is still here. We…” “How can I not apologize? If I don’t do that, it will turn into another past event where I was the bully again.” North smiled. “Am I right?” Reina’s expression froz
“If he’s not your friend, why did he go out to have meals with you on multiple occasions?” North snorted and cut Reina off. She then pulled out a few photos. “Or do you have a fetish for hanging out with murderers?” Both the inside and outside of the ward suddenly became very quiet. The photos clearly captured the ski instructor and Reina going out to have meals, going to musical concerts, and going to the cinema… Who would be so close to a murderer? This also indicated that before the ski instructor’s murder attempt, he was Reina’s friend! Henry’s face paled when he saw the photos. He took a few steps back. Reina was extremely shocked. Her face immediately turned pale. How was that possible? She had gotten rid of these photos. Where did North get them? What was going on? She started yelling, “No… I don’t even know his name. North, why are you framing me with fake photos?” The agent also yelled urgently, “Yes, it’s so easy to edit such things nowadays. North, you’
After North said that, the nurse beside her said angrily, “Ms. North, don’t you understand that some people are just jealous of your status! If nothing happens to you, you’ll always be the daughter of the Myers family, whereas she’ll always just be the child of the mistress. If you are jailed, she will be able to replace you!” “She actually wants to replace North even though she has no blood relation to the Myers family!” “No wonder she’s a child of a mistress. She’s so evil, just like her mom!” “As a celebrity, she doesn’t look as innocent as she portrays herself.” The expressions of the few people involved darkened. Reina looked as though she had seen a ghost. She was trembling, and she could not say a single word. She was cursing North out, wishing that she had killed her four years ago! What should she do now? Reina looked up at her agent and her eyes flashed. She suddenly looked like she was in disbelief. “Ms. Hertz! What… What did you do? Did you conspire with t
North sneered as she looked at Gerald. “You’re looking for her?” Gerald narrowed his eyes and sized the Myers family members up. All along, he thought that the Myers family did not have a close relationship with Reina, because that girl who saved him years ago asked him why he did not return home when he was injured. He said the Howard family was not his home. That young girl’s expression fell as she said, “Then we’re the same. I don’t have a home either.” Reina was the stepdaughter of the Myers family, so technically it was not her true home. However, after what he had seen today… “Of course! Mr. Gerald is here to discuss Reina’s birthday with her.” Henry noticed that Gerald was not speaking, so he built up the guts and said, “Mr. Gerald, next week will be Reina’s birthday. She said that you’d definitely participate in her birthday party, I believe you’re here for that?” Reina looked shy. “Gerald, I have just returned to the country after all. I plan to have a birthday p
