North’s face suddenly turned red. It was unknown if it was from anger or embarrassment. “Gerald, stop being delusional!” Gerald did not say anything else. He mindlessly buttoned his bathrobe again. “I don’t need a massage.” North turned around. She was not in the mood to joke. “Mr. Howard, do you know your eyes are blinded because you’re poisoned?” It was not night blindness, nor was it temporary blindness. It happened because he was poisoned. Gerald looked indifferent and confirmed her question. “Yes.” North was shocked. “You’re aware of it?” “Do you want to ask me if I don’t want to go through a detox?” Gerald said indifferently, “No one is able to cure this poison. It can only be suppressed, so I don’t need a detox massage.” Fortunately, the poison was under control. The worst-case scenario was that he would go permanently blind. Compared to his life, his eyes were actually not that important to him. As long as he was alive, some people would not dare to do anyth
Two hours later, Gerald was covered in sweat when he opened his eyes. Instead of darkness, he could finally see again. North was absolutely exhausted. It was not that exhausting when she was giving the other patients detox massages in the past. However, it seemed like the effects of the treatment were not bad. Connor started to tear up. “Mr. Gerald, your eyes!” Gerald was not as excited. He roughly knew that the episode would last for two to three days. It was the end of the episode, which was why he got his vision back. But it would happen again, and the episodes would get more frequent. North also knew this, which was why she was not overly excited as well. “I’ve dried some herbs in the backyard to brew some herbal tea later on. You should drink some every day.” Those herbs were fruits of Pete’s hard work. Since Paige was Pete’s patient before, these medicines would definitely work. Gerald replied, “Alright, I’ll get Stewart to help you…” “Madam, Madam!” Stewart’
After North heard that, she immediately left and went to the backyard. Stewart immediately followed after. The room became quiet. Connor waited until North was out of earshot before he asked anxiously. “Mr. Gerald, did Madam give you the detox massage? Why didn’t you tell her about your current condition…” Gerald was not fit to get any detox massage! The detox massage would only increase the potency of the poison. Unless it was the secret doctor that had once treated Paige, any other regular detox massages would only speed up the onset of another episode caused by the poison. Gerald was extremely calm and indifferent. “My eyes are already like this. It doesn’t matter if I get another episode. They won’t get worse.” Connor chased after him. “But…” “There is no but.” Gerald paused and instructed, “Do not tell her about this.” North wanted to treat his eyes. That was enough for him. Gerald already knew his destiny. He had long accepted the fact that he would go b
“So, Wanda really didn’t know it was you who planted these. If she was aware of it, she wouldn’t purposely destroy the plants, right? Fortunately, these are not expensive plants, so please don’t be angry.” North snorted. Mrs. Scott was implying that even though her herbs were destroyed, they were worthless, so it would be petty of her to pin it on Wanda when Wanda was supposedly oblivious. That was strange. Did they really think that North was easy to bully? Who gave Mrs. Scott the audacity to talk to North like that? Wanda was used to being her arrogant self. She tossed the herb aside and said aloofly, “That’s right. These weeds are worthless. It would lower the value of Royal Sights Residences. I’m actually helping you. Otherwise, other people would ridicule you if news about your farming habits is spread out!” North remained quiet as she silently stared at the herbs lying on the ground. Worthless… These herbs were carefully cultivated by Pete. These were priceless
Everyone in the backyard fell into silence because of North’s words.Sam was rendered speechless.He thought. “Didn’t they say Mrs. Howard was friendly and delicate?“You call threatening to spill blood or destroy cars delicate?”Wanda flared up in a rage. She thought. “So, this b*tch either wants to destroy my car or kill me?”“Stop! Just stop!”Wanda trembled in anger while watching the new car end up as a pile of junk. “North, do you know who I am?! Do you know the relationship between the Scott family and Gerry?! “How dare you do this to me! I won’t forgive you for this!North slowly kicked the engine that had been removed from the car. “Mm? Who are you, anyway? I don’t know.” “How dare you be so rude if you don’t know who I am?! Aren’t you worried about offending people?!”Wanda’s voice was shaky. “Listen. Nelly is Gerry’s best friend. How dare you destroy my car?! Gerry won’t let you off the hook!”Mrs. Scott saw someone walking out of a corner. She hurriedly yanke
“I grew up with Gerry. I feel so sorry for him… How could he have such a willful wife like you? Do you want all his friends to cut him off because of you? “Mrs. Howard, I’d better remind you about one thing for Nelly’s sake. Gerry won’t let you do this.” North sneered. She thought. “What an outrageous accusation!“So, am I trying to sabotage Gerald’s friendship by targeting his friend?“But why didn’t Wanda say that she’s sabotaging my relationship with Gerald by ruining my property with her car?”North wanted to speak up but a sudden voice from behind beat her to it.“Ms. Wanda, who told you that I wouldn’t let her?” Gerald spoke up slowly and stunned everyone.North stopped short in sudden fear.She thought. “Wait. What is Gerald doing behind me?!“When did he come? No wonder these two b*tches started putting on a show. It turns out that they’re doing this for Gerald.”Wanda appeared abashed. “Gerry.” Gerald did not even bat an eyelid as he walked straight to North.
Connor immediately investigated it and replied a few minutes later, “Mr. Gerald, Mrs. Scott and Ms. Wanda own twelve cars. Plus, Mr. Mason owns no property in the Scott family.” Mrs. Scott’s heart skipped a beat. “G-Gerald…”Gerald ignored Mrs. Scott and said absent-mindedly, “Mm, go and drag those cars here. Let my wife destroy them for fun.” Gerald said North could destroy them for fun?!Mrs. Scott’s expression changed drastically, and she said, “Gerald, Mason left a lot of cars at home—” “But they’re not under Mason’s name.” Slowly, Gerald turned to look at Mrs. Scott. “Aren’t I right?” Mason did not own those cars, and he was Gerald’s friend. Hence, it was fine even if Gerald destroyed the cars belonging to the other members of the Scott family.Those people were not Gerald’s friends either.Mrs. Scott found it hard to speak. She forced a smile. “Regardless, we’re Mason’s family. If word got out that you fell out with the family of your best friend for a woman’s sake,
Gerald looked calm.He maintained his smile and did not even look at Wanda. He sounded frighteningly gentle.“Excuse me, Ms. Wanda? Who did you… want to kill?” Wanda screamed, “Ah!”She thought. “What… What is that? That’s a gun!”Gerald appeared indifferent. “Ms. Wanda, you said you just killed a few weeds, and you could easily control my wife’s life. Is that right?“Since you feel that North’s life is worthless, then I’ll also think that your life…”A chuckle escaped Gerald. “...Is equally as worthless.”Wanda trembled as coldness crept up in her. She collapsed on the ground. “I-I…”Mrs. Scott could not see Wanda get killed. “We didn’t mean that, Gerald. We just—”“I’m very curious about one thing, Ms. Wanda.” North blinked and bent over. “Isn’t the Scott family aware of Gerald’s identity? But you made a scene in Royal Sights Residences. Who convinced you to be this bold? I remember that Mason was always polite. He’d never let you act recklessly at his friend’s house.“
