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
“G-Gerald… Ms. Hertz only spoke out of turn impulsively. She wouldn’t ever—”Gerald flashed her a fake smile. “Do you wish to speak on her behalf, Ms. Reina?”Ms. Hertz looked at Reina with hope on her face.Reina could not simply allow her agent to get into trouble. After all, Ms. Hertz was Reina’s right-hand woman. “Gerald, Ms. Hertz will definitely come up with a way to make it up to North in the future. There wasn’t any real harm done, anyway.” “It’s not my intention to send Ms. Hertz to prison.”Gerald’s gaze was cool and distant. “However, she is not suited to be your agent anymore. She’s not even suited to remain in the entertainment industry.”A shiver ran down Reina’s spine.Gerald was forcing her to cut off her only means of support!There were a lot of underhanded things that Reina made Ms. Hertz do for her in the entertainment industry. Things would be really bad for her if she lost Ms. Hertz.“Y-You can’t!” Ms. Hertz looked terrified. She shook her head in a pani
Reina’s expression turned grim. She gritted out, “It doesn’t matter! At least Mr. Gerald thinks I’m innocent. He’s still going to attend my birthday banquet.”At the mention of that, Reina’s tone became smug. She said disdainfully, “Ah, how could I forget? It will be your birthday too. Isn’t Gerald doing anything special for you? As his wife, you’re really in a pitiful state. You should be more shrewd and simply divorce him so you can give the position to someone else!”North made a noise of understanding. She said casually, “Divorce him? That would be good. That means I’d be able to get at least half of Gerald’s assets. You’d better not cry when that happens, Reina.”“North, you—”North smoothly cut off the call.In contrast to the way she presented herself, she was not at all calm.She and Reina had the same birthday, but Gerald only remembered Reina’s birthday!There were countless notifications on her phone announcing the latest news of Gerald’s “impending nuptials” with Rei
Before Gerald could stop her, North answered the call. “Mr. Abraham?”Abraham’s voice was soft and polite. “Ms. North, I’m throwing a banquet tomorrow. I wanted to know if you could attend.”North shot Gerald a look and lifted an eyebrow. “Of course. Where is it?”“At the Galaxy ballroom in the Mostrade Building.” Abraham then asked softly, “But will Gerald allow you to attend?”North replied absentmindedly, “I will attend. This has nothing to do with him.”“Sorry, I was being nosy. I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow. By the way, Ms. North—”Before he could finish speaking, Gerald snatched the phone away from North and smoothly hung up.Even though she knew the answer, North asked, “Mr. Gerald, are you really going to restrict who I talk on the phone with although we haven’t gotten divorced yet?”Gerald swallowed the lump in his throat. “Don’t go. He doesn’t have good intentions.”Feeling frustrated, North nearly laughed out loud. “Gerald, we’re a married couple. As possessive a
Marlin said meaningfully, “Oh. There was an unimportant person following you just now. Maybe he was worried about you.”Immediately, North’s expression became twisted.Had Gerald been following her all this while?! Did that not mean that he had seen how she had thrown a tantrum at nothing and failed to kick that pebble?Marlin knew that he should not tease North any further. Besides, there was no point in him intervening in a couple’s spat. As such, he changed the subject.“Abraham invited you to his banquet tomorrow, right?”North asked cautiously, “Are you going to tell me not to go, too?”“Too?”Marlin raised an eyebrow. He knew exactly who else could have told her not to go. “Of course not. It’s just a banquet. It’s not a big deal to attend it. I’ll get you a suitable dress.”North snorted and said sarcastically, “Cool. Make sure it’s a gorgeous dress. After all, I’m there to look for my next husband.”Marlin clicked his tongue but said nothing.North made sure not to men
