Gerald drummed his fingers on the tabletop lightly. “Answer it.”

Ian seemed somewhat nervous. “Mr. Gerald, Reina said that you would come to her birthday banquet. I wonder…” He broke off.

“What is it?”

Ian gulped. “I-It’s nothing. I was just wondering if Reina was spouting nonsense. Mr. Gerald, every member of the Myers family is looking forward to receiving you!”

Connor rolled his eyes to one side. Gerald’s name held a lot of weight in Peacevale. It was unsurprising that the Myers family was looking forward to receiving such an important person at their home.

Gerald’s tone was mild. “How are the preparations coming along?”

Ian assumed that Gerald was asking out of concern for Reina. As such, he became more excited. “Don’t worry, Reina’s birthdays have always been grand affairs. We’ve always put a lot of effort into the event.”

Gerald let out a mocking laugh when he noticed that Ian only mentioned Reina. “Grand affairs? Do you mean that all of Peacevale knows it’s her birthday?”

    The Myers family had spent a lot preparing Reina’s birthday. The Myers residence had been done up splendidly. A separate banquet venue had been set up, and all of the influential people in Peacevale had gotten an invitation to the event.At midnight, North’s phone buzzed. Quite a number of people sent over their birthday wishes. She thanked them one by one. She opened Gerald’s text last. [Look out the window.]Look out the window? What was she supposed to look at?North absently walked to the balcony. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and fireworks shot up into the sky.These fireworks were not typical ones, but custom-made ones. When the fireworks exploded in the sky, they spelled out “Happy Birthday” and then “I’ll spend every one of your birthdays with you.”Next, hundreds of drones took to the sky to create various pictures and texts. Several massive billboards set on the top of buildings lit up. They all wished North a happy birthday.Passers-by could not help but exclai

    North only slowly woke up at noon the next day. Her whole body ached. She struggled to get out of bed but failed. She fell weakly back onto the mattress.What kind of interest was this? Gerald had taken too much!She sat helplessly in bed and raged. After nearly half an hour, she finally climbed out of bed tiredly to wash up.The birthday banquet would only start in the afternoon. North took a few steps and realized that Gerald had already applied some medication for her. Her face immediately went red as her expression twisted.How dare Gerald do this?! She would never let him touch her again!“Madam, lunch is ready. Would you like to eat now or in a little while?”Thinking that she had to head over to the Myers residence in the afternoon, she said, “I’ll have lunch now.”At 1:00 p.m., North got into the car to head to the Myers residence.The entrance of the Myers residence was already bustling with people. With the Myers family’s standing, it was not possible to get so many

    “North, Gerald prepared me a fireworks show that lasted so long and got so many drones to put on more shows for me. The whole of Peacevale could see it. No one has ever gotten such a huge gift before. Are you really not mad that Gerald likes me so much?“After all, it’s your birthday too, and no one remembered! I feel so sorry for you!”North felt so disgusted by this act that she wanted to barf.She suddenly asked, “Are you boasting to me, Reina?”Reina sounded delighted as she said, “This isn’t boasting, North. I’m only stating facts. You and Gerald don’t have any emotional foundation. You see, he can abandon you for me. You should give up early.”North smiled shallowly. “Reina, look at my face. Aren’t I pretty?”Reina’s breathing stuttered. She clenched her jaw. Many people said that she would never come close to being as pretty as North no matter how she dressed or made herself up.“It looks like you agree that I’m pretty. Men are only concerned with looks. Who do you thin

    The person holding the gem was a suit-clad old man in his seventies or eighties. Despite his age, there was a sharp edge to his gaze.Reina was ecstatic as she watched the man approach them slowly.Linda said cockily, “You see, North? Even though today’s your birthday too, everyone only remembers Reina’s.”All the guests looked in their direction while Reina acted like she was the one in charge. “Sir…”The old man came to a stop in the middle of the hall.Scanning the crowd, he asked plainly, “I’m here to deliver a gift. Is this Ms. Myers’s birthday party?If anyone still had any doubts, this perished them. They were certain that the pigeon’s blood ruby was for Reina!Blushing, Reina answered, “Yes, just give me the gift. Thank you for coming all this way…”“Why should I give this to you?” To her surprise, the old man frowned and snapped, “This is such a precious gift. Obviously, I must hand it to the birthday girl personally.”Reina assumed the old man could not recognize her

    “It’s Reina’s birthday! What’s she trying to steal the spotlight for?! Now they all know she’s got an old man for a lover. What a joke!”Henry felt embarrassed too. “I can’t control your taste in men, North. But since you’re already here, get inside at once. Don’t just stand there and make a fool out of yourself.”As he said so, he tried to drag the Bracken butler away, but the old man angrily said, “How dare you?!”Henry flinched. Not only had he failed to move the man a single inch, but he had gotten yelled at too. When he met the butler’s sharp gaze, he shuddered and said, “You… You…”The butler scanned the crowd with a harsh glare, causing them to fall silent immediately.It was only then that he smiled. “Madam North, Madam Eleanor wishes you a happy life ahead.”Someone in the crowd exclaimed, “Madam? North Myers is married?”“So, that isn’t her husband? Who is it, then?”Linda connected the dots right away. Only the Brackens would call North “Madam North”!Reina’s friend

    “The watch Colt Quinn brought may not be priceless, but it previously belonged to Mr. Avery, so it’s one of a kind! Is it for Reina?”“They’re all family and friends of Gerald Howard. Did he ask them to show support for her?”“I’m so envious… Any of these gifts would be enough to impress everyone, but Mr. Howard is gifting them all to Reina!”“Here comes Ms. Reina!”Reina felt a little dizzy.Nathan’s crown was made of platinum and the best diamonds around. It was one of the Queen of Anglestan’s favorite jewelry pieces before it ended up in the hands of the public.Colt’s watch was also every rich girl’s dream gift.And Charlotte’s ring… Wasn’t it obvious what Gerald meant by gifting her a ring?Reina tried her best to suppress her excitement and calm her breathing. “Welcome, everyone. Come in!”Nathan shot Colt a meaningful look, who smiled. “We’re here to deliver some gifts on Gerald’s behalf.”Henry had never felt this honored in his life. He was so happy that he could pas

    “You’re not trying to tell us Mr. Howard’s your husband, are you? Ha! That’s so ridiculous.”Linda was in a good mood so she could not resist mocking North, “Wake up and smell the roses, North. It’s normal for Mr. Howard to celebrate Reina’s birthday. If you really like that island, just get Reina to give you a tour.”Reina’s heart began pounding.Yesterday’s drone fireworks show had already made her name trend on Twitter. If he added an island to the mix… Only she was worthy of a man like Gerald!Reina looked at North. “North, please stop your daydreaming once Gerald gets here. You might upset him.”North raised an eyebrow and sipped at her red wine, but she did not say anything after that.As if on cue, a commotion started near the front door. Someone pushed the door open, causing everyone to look over.It was a man with sharp features, a handsome figure, and a priceless custom watch on his wrist. He looked like a successful man in every step he took, and his expression was so

    Everyone started laughing in both agreement and mockery. “We can’t take it anymore, Mr. Howard. North sure knows how to exaggerate things.”“Yeah, she even claimed something so ridiculous as the island being for her! You can’t let her get away with this!”Reina was getting excited. She could not wait for Gerald to expose North’s lies and teach her a lesson.Gerald raised an eyebrow and looked into North’s eyes. Then, he suddenly asked, “Mr. Henry, who did you give my presents to?”Henry hastily approached him, saying respectfully, “Reina, of course. Don’t worry, there’s no way North can steal Reina’s presents for herself!”“Who said…” Gerald began in a lazy and distracted, yet chilling tone. “...Those presents were for her?”Who said those presents were for her?!Who else could they be for, if not Reina?!Suddenly, a thought occurred to everyone.No, it could not be… who was North to deserve gifts from Gerald Howard?!Reina paled and started swaying, almost collapsing to the

    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?”
