Chapter 547

Penulis: The Kite of Harmony
In the end, North still went upstairs to change.

Downstairs, Gerald acted fast. โ€œCall Mason and tell him I donโ€™t want the extra 2% anymore.โ€

โ€œMr. Gerald?โ€ Connor asked, shocked.

He did not want them anymore? Gerald used to put the companyโ€™s profits first no matter what. When did he ever act with suchโ€ฆ pettiness?

Gerald instructed his driver to start the car. Then, he said, โ€œTell Nelly Iโ€™ll be at her house in half an hour.โ€

After North got back from the cafe, Connor had told him that not only did North avoid getting bullied, but Nelly was the one who got humiliated the whole time. She also seemed to be in a good mood.

That was why he agreed when Mason offered to give him that 2%. He thought the extra profits would make a decent allowance for North.

But he did not expect North to be this sad about it.

She told neither him nor Connor about it, but she told Leon.

Why was that? Because from her perspective, Leon was someone who would never appear in real life.

    Nelly paled, and her lips trembled as she took a deep breath. โ€œGeraldโ€ฆ Whatโ€™s the meaning of this? I really was just kidding at Dew Garden. Besides, itโ€™s been almost a day now. Do you really still careโ€”โ€โ€œIโ€™m not talking about the incident at Dew Garden. You know that,โ€ Gerald said calmly. โ€œJohnny Carterโ€™s been driven out of the design industry. That was the price he had to pay. What about you?โ€Nelly finally lost her composure.How dare North, that b*tch, complain about her?!โ€œGerald, I donโ€™t know what North told you, but it really was an accident that I found Johnny Carter. I didnโ€™t know he was that type of person,โ€ Nelly replied anxiously, as if she was genuinely innocent. โ€œI didnโ€™t know Leon had already made some designs for North, so I was sincerely trying to help.โ€œWedding rings are so important that the more famous the designer, the higher Northโ€™s status would be. I was worried other people would say she wasnโ€™t a good match for you so in my hasteโ€ฆโ€Nellyโ€™s words could have

    Nellyโ€™s fingernails were digging into the flesh of her palm.She needed to endure thisโ€ฆ She had been hasty, and it was not the right time yet. Enduring the humiliation was her only option!So, Nelly squeezed out a smile. โ€œUnderstood, Gerald.โ€Then, she looked at North. โ€œI really am sorry, North. I promise that this will not happen again. I really do consider you a friend.โ€North raised an eyebrow. She did not know Nelly was such an adaptable person.Since Gerald got what he wanted, he took Northโ€™s hand and led her away.As soon as she got into the car and settled down, she heard him ask, โ€œDo you feel better?โ€North gulped. โ€œWhat do you mean? Did you really think bullying your childhood friend would make me feel better? Am I really that petty to you?โ€Gerald said nothing. Instead, he gave her a pointed look that said everything he wanted to say.That stare made North blush. She had the feeling that he saw through her. Wait, Leon was stillโ€ฆ She quickly took out her phone.Wor

    When North clicked on the message, it read: [Thatโ€™s the same reason as Geraldโ€™s. He fell in love with you at first sight.]North suddenly felt an overwhelming dizziness. It was like a brick had fallen from the sky to hit her on the head. She could barely see straight and gripped her phone tightly.Gerald fell in love with her at first sight?! How did Leon know that?Did he guess it, or did he ask Gerald about it?After getting over her shock, she felt a strange shyness rise within her.The man she was talking to was twenty whole years older. Talking about love with someone that old always gave her a weird feeling.North took a deep breath and tried to make herself sound cheerful. [Thanks. I didnโ€™t know you still cared about things like this at such an old age, my friend.]Geraldโ€™s expression turned stony as he almost crushed his phone in his grip.โ€œSuch an old ageโ€? Who was she calling old?!North shot him a weird look. Wasnโ€™t Gerald in a good mood? Why was he looking upset ag

    The Howards were all so manipulative. How did they manage to raise someone like Nathan?North did not bother explaining and simply replied in a disinterested manner, โ€œYes, Iโ€™m so touched to have a friend like that.โ€Nathan did not know what to say. Why did he have a feeling that North was being passive-aggressive?However, being a naive and innocent person, he did not think too much of it. โ€œDidnโ€™t you get someone to customize your wedding rings? Theyโ€™re already done making them. Do you want to pick them up?โ€โ€œAlready?โ€ North asked, surprised.She had given Leonโ€™s blueprints to one of the jewelry stores that Deep Pool Corporation owned. Normally, it would have taken them a month. But it had only been a couple of weeks.Nathan replied smugly, โ€œOf course. Donโ€™t you remember who owns that store?โ€It was him! He may not have been that involved in its operations, but he still owned it. Why would its workers slack off if he asked them to hurry up?North was a little touched.Since

    It did not matter. Nellyโ€™s acting was really good, so it was only natural that Nathan could not see through it. After all, Nathan even thought Sharon was a good person.After some thought, Nathan decided not to ask but still quietly deleted Nellyโ€™s number from his phone and even blocked her on Twitter.Yes, there must be a good reason for North to dislike Nelly.The car drove into Fifth Avenue, revealing an extremely luxurious mall for expensive goods. Nathan went the extra mile and opened the car door for North.North seemed to remember that she had forgotten something after she got out of the car.Hmmโ€ฆ What had she forgotten?She was supposed to WhatsApp someone about somethingโ€ฆ Forget it. It probably was not important.โ€ฆAt Royal Sights Residences, Gerald exited his study to find the mansion deserted. With a raised eyebrow, he asked, โ€œWhereโ€™s Mrs. Howard?โ€Connorโ€™s expression shifted to embarrassment.What should he say? That North had completely forgotten what Gerald said

    The manager put down the rings and did not bother to explain herself, looking impatient. โ€œWeโ€™ve delivered the rings, so take them and leave. We have other important guests on the way, so we donโ€™t have the time to deal with you.โ€Nathan picked up the ring meant for North and tsked. โ€œWow, North. You and Gerald have terrible taste. Iโ€™ll give you a different pair thatโ€™s sure to be better thanโ€”โ€โ€œMs. Sable, are you sure these are the rings I ordered?โ€ North suddenly asked.Nathan shut up immediately, looking confused.What was going on? Were these rings not Northโ€™s?North repeated coldly, โ€œI ordered two pairs of matching rings at your store. Are you sure this is one of them?โ€Ms. Sable, the manager, was very irritated. โ€œHow should I know? We made it according to your blueprints. Have you changed your mind and decided not to take them?โ€Other people in the room looked at them. The manager was already impatient, to begin with. However, her impatience soon shifted to annoyance. โ€œYou did

    Did she know who Reina was? If Reina wanted the rings, North would just have to let them go, wouldnโ€™t she?โ€œYour rings?โ€ North looked at them and suddenly chuckled. โ€œI didnโ€™t know a personโ€™s skin could be this thick. I guess I learned something new.โ€Reina pretended to smile with resignation. It was as if she was not mad at all. โ€œNorth, you donโ€™t have to be this subtle. I heard what happened just now. I understand if you donโ€™t like the rings the store made for you, but you canโ€™t make a scene just because of that.โ€โ€œYeah, North,โ€ Linda pretended to say kindly. โ€œI can give them to you if you like them, but Reina only gave me these rings to repay me for raising her. You make me so sad by demanding them just like this!โ€Nathan almost lost control of his temper.Were they even making sense?! Why was Linda playing the victim at her age?He was about to start yelling at them when North beat him to it, saying, โ€œHave you tried the ring, Mrs. Myers? Does it fit you?โ€Lindaโ€™s hand stilled

    Who was Reina? She was the Jordan family heiress, the beloved daughter of Bryan Jordan, and the beloved sister of Gabriel Jordan.Offending her would mean offending the entire family.Reina pretended to speak gently, but she subtly warned her. โ€œNorth, itโ€™s not every day that Mom finds something she likes. You could consider your duty as her daughter done if you give her the rings. Canโ€™t you just pick out another pair?โ€Nathan was instantly angered. Since when did being the Jordan family heiress give her the right to twist things like that?!North ran a hand through her hair. โ€œSorry, but I have no duty toward mistresses to fulfill. Nathan, take the rings, and letโ€™s go.โ€Linda tensed, but Nathan was ecstatic.Yeah, that was right! What duty did she have for a mistress? What did Linda ever do to deserve it? How could she be shameless enough to demand anything?Reina gritted her teeth. โ€œNorth, donโ€™t make me do this the hard wayโ€”โ€โ€œWhatโ€™s all this commotion?โ€ Before North could le

    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 wasnโ€™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. Hmmโ€ฆ 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, โ€œWhatโ€™s going onโ€ฆ?โ€Gerald looked at her silently.He also wanted to ask what was going on.โ€œNorth, do you need my help?โ€North hesitated.

    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, โ€œMomโ€ฆ If you knew this was going to happen, why didnโ€™t you adjust your act earlier!โ€Patricia was furious. โ€œI did all of this for you. How could you fall for Geraldโ€™s tricks?!โ€โ€œBut Gerald was right. They suspect that Iโ€™m not Paigeโ€™s son because of you!โ€โ€ฆGiselleโ€™s smile became more and more sarcastic.

Also, get someone to clean Glass Manor inside and out.โ€He wanted to get rid of the bad vibes the Bracken family had brought in.โ€ฆA 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.

    โ€œWhy? Do you think that Iโ€™ve forgotten how Paige died?โ€Giselle never expected that this shameless family would have the audacity to make an issue out of Paigeโ€™s death.โ€œYou 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?โ€œStill, the only person the Bracken family has ever had to sacrifice was Paige!โ€Virgil snapped, โ€œNonsense! Iโ€™m Paigeโ€™s biological father, how could Iโ€ฆโ€Giselle sneered. โ€œStop putting on an act. You didnโ€™t look for your daughter when she was missing. You didnโ€™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.โ€œVirgil, Iโ€™m sick. Iโ€™m not dead yet, and I havenโ€™t lost my memory. If this happens again, Iโ€™ll destroy the entire Bracken family!โ€Giselle looked at the bodyguards she had brought

    The surroundings suddenly fell silent.Virgil found it hard to breathe. โ€œLet go! Are you crazy?!โ€โ€œIโ€™m asking you a question. Where is Paige buried? Tell me!โ€Virgilโ€™s brain was deprived of oxygen. Without thinking, he roared, โ€œHow would I know? Let go, you crazy woman!โ€Patricia screamed, โ€œMadam Giselle, what are you doing? Let go of him. Do you want Dad to die?โ€Geraldโ€™s second uncle also shouted, โ€œMadam Giselle, why are you doing this to us? Donโ€™t treat your husband like this!โ€โ€œYou donโ€™t know? You donโ€™t know at all, do you?โ€ Giselle ignored everyone. She looked unremorseful.

    Mike said weakly, โ€œNorth, we paid our respects to my mother before we went out today. We didnโ€™t say anything because we were afraid that Grandpa wouldnโ€™t be able to accept it.โ€As expected, Virgil clutched his chest and looked like he was about to faint.Patricia cried out, โ€œGerald, are you satisfied now that your grandfather is trembling in anger?

    Everyone was dumbfounded. North was really bold!North blinked. โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong, Mr. Virgil? Why are you so angry? Did I say something wrong?โ€โ€œWhat nonsense! Paige is my daughter! How could I intentionally let her die?!โ€North widened her eyes. โ€œI didnโ€™t say that you intentionally let her die! Itโ€™s just that the Bracken family didnโ€™t like her and looked down on her. The medical staff didnโ€™t care about her either. In the end, they didnโ€™t even treat her and let her die.โ€œI know. Itโ€™s not your fault. After all, you were so busy. How could you have the time to take care of a daughter you donโ€™t love?โ€Virgil clutched his chest. โ€œWhat nonsenseโ€ฆ!

His cold gaze made Patricia suddenly feel suffocated.Her โ€œsonโ€ had a murderous look in his eyes. โ€œAny other day would have been fine, but not today.โ€Patricia hated the look in Geraldโ€™s eyes the most.
