He stared at North’s proof, remaining in a trance for quite a while.

Estella Smithson… Estella Smithson. North’s mother was called Estella Smithson?

Why did she share a name with Estella Rose? Why was she a good designer too? Could they be the same person?

But if they were, then what did that make Reina?

No. This was impossible. And yet…

“Gabriel! Gabriel! You came just in time!” Bryan acted as if his savior had just arrived. “Come look at this. Tell me, do you think we… got it wrong?”

“Dad…” When Gabriel saw what was on Bryan’s computer, his throat began to feel dry.

He was terrified of the secret being discovered. If Bryan found out he knew all along but kept it from him, he would definitely be punished for it.

Besides, Reina had been through so much that if they abandoned her at this point, it would be so heartless of them!

So, Gabriel betrayed his conscience and said with mixed feelings, “Dad, that’s what I wanted to talk to you about… I was also shocked when I saw Estella

    “I don’t get it. Why is she crying?” North pushed the door open and walked right in. When she saw Virgil Bracken, she smiled.“Grandfather! Gerald said you had summoned him for lunch. He thought you were missing him, so he had even brought gifts. He didn’t think you only called him to blame him.”Gerald raised an eyebrow. Gifts?He had never even considered doing that for the Brackens. Meanwhile, Eleanor was pissed. “North Myers! How could you enter without knocking? Were you raised in a barn? And what’s this about gifts? You’re clearly empty-handed. What gifts?”North blinked. “I’m here to provide Bracken Corporation with a perfect solution. Isn’t that a great gift?“Gerald and Leon are friends, and they’re quite close. He was going to negotiate with Leon and buy Bracken Corporation some time, but…” North sighed. “Ms. Eleanor assumed Gerald was sabotaging the family! Isn’t that ridiculous, Mr. Virgil? I’ve already looked at the handbags in question.”Virgil suddenly had the fe

    Nelly smiled gently. “Hi again, Gerald, North.”Gerald did not look at her, and North did not reply. However, Nelly did not seem to take it to heart and continued to stand demurely beside Madam Bracken.Madam Bracken already knew what was going on, so she scoffed, “Looks like your b*stard son’s not as good as you think, Virgil. Bracken Corporation’s been suffering losses every year, and now there’s plagiarism too? As if that wasn’t bad enough, you’re demanding that Gerald help clean up this mess.”Virgil could not take the insult. “What are you so happy about?! The business was supposed to go to Patricia, but how am I supposed to give it to her in this state? If Gerald has a solution, what’s wrong with asking him to help?”Madam Bracken mocked him in response. “You’re always so attentive when it comes to Patricia’s things.”“Patricia’s your daughter too,” Virgil said as if it was the most natural thing on Earth. “You should be helping out to as her mother—”“Shut up!” Madam Brack

    Giselle nodded in gratification. “That’s very kind of you, Nelly.” North’s eyes flickered. Something felt wrong. Why would Nelly be so kind as to remind her to be careful of Cynthia? “Ah, I see. However, your reminder came a little bit too late. I’ve already met Cynthia.” Nelly said in resignation, “She… These women are still trying their luck even though they clearly know that Gerald is married. North, it must be difficult to be his wife, right?” North came to a realization. There it was: the trap.Nelly was trying to insult other people to make herself appear morally superior by talking badly about another woman who was flirting with Gerald. Did she think that this would make everyone think that she had no feelings toward Gerald? North smiled. “It’s not difficult at all. I’m just doing what I should be doing. Besides, you’re reading into this too much. Even though Cynthia has some feelings for Gerald, she didn’t cause any trouble for me.” Nelly bit her lower lip. “No

    Everyone became silent. North narrowed her eyes and smirked. Nelly shook her head, “I’m sorry, I talk without thinking. Gerald, you should settle the matter between you and North on your own. I’ll make a move first.“Oh right, Gerald, the most important thing between a couple is trust. If you hide everything from North… Never mind, I’ll stop.” After saying that, Nelly immediately left in embarrassment with a worried expression on her face. Giselle waved her hands. “I don’t want to meddle in the Scott family’s matter. Today, Nelly suddenly came so I couldn’t just turn her away. North, don’t take what she said to heart.” North nodded and left the Bracken family home alongside Gerald. In a luxury car outside of the Bracken family home, Nelly was staring at North and Gerald with a dark expression as they got into their car. She sneered, “I don’t think North will be able to bear with that.” Mrs. Scott hesitated, “Nelly, why do you want to tick North off? That will only make

    However, North did not realize that and continued to praise him. “How is it possible for such a nice guy like you to exist? You’re handsome and tall, and you have a great temperament. Coupled with your intelligence and your capability, I—” The car came to a sudden stop. North was launched forward due to inertia, but she was pulled back by the safety belt. “What’s wrong?” What was wrong with Gerald’s driving?! Gerald was breathing heavily. “North… Don’t praise me using those words.” North was puzzled. After resting for a few days at home, Gerald had a meeting at night. North was eating dinner by herself. Before she finished dinner, Stewart told her that Nathan was there. Nathan was shocked. “Why are you alone? Where’s Gerald?!” North almost dropped her food from fear. “He’s in a meeting. Why?” “Meeting? He’s still in a meeting now?!” Nathan slammed on the desk. He looked extremely angry. North put down her cutlery. “What happened?” Nathan was infuriated, and his

    Reina purposely chose a crowded public hospital. The news about her pregnancy would definitely spread like wildfire. Bryan had just reached the hospital ward when he saw Reina lying weakly on the hospital bed. Her face was covered in tears. “Dad…” Reina had only said a few words before she started panting again. Mrs. Jordan walked forward. “Reina, you should abort this child.” Reina cried, “Grandma, please, don’t do this to me. I don’t want to lose this child…” Mrs. Jordan said with a stern expression, “No! Reina, you have to listen to me. I’ll contact a doctor to abort this child once you’ve recovered!” Reina was staying in a normal hospital ward. They were surrounded by other pregnant patients and their family members. All of them frowned after hearing that. “How could this grandmother be so cruel? She’s forcing her granddaughter to go through an abortion. Why?” “This old lady seems to be saying that her granddaughter is pregnant out of wedlock…” “Pregnant out of wedl

    Mrs. Jordan loudly said, “But a child without a father… Why would you want to give birth to it? Are you trying to embarrass the Jordan family?!” Bryan’s frown deepened.North had warned Reina in private? If that was the case, then he had to protect Reina. He had already let his daughter suffer too much. Thus, he could not sit there and do nothing anymore. “The Howard family should be responsible for their children.“Reina, rest well. I’ll pay the Howard family a visit.” Reina watched as Bryan left, and she smiled. …At Royal Sights Residences, North could not follow up with Nathan’s thought process. “How Gerald is in bed?” Nathan thought North did not understand what he meant. But since they were both adults, he felt that she would be able to understand the underlying meaning of his words. “That’s right!” North fell into deep thought. A few days ago, Gerald did indeed toss and turn in bed a few times and nearly kicked her out of bed too.She recalled his usual sl

    Finally, due to Nathan’s strong request, all those men stayed back with them. North did not dare to say a word. “Drink… Come, let’s drink! Don’t dismiss me!” After drinking for a few rounds, Nathan got drunk as expected. He grabbed North’s sleeve with tears in his eyes. “They have such hard lives… So hard…” North was speechless. Nathan kept asking these men to talk about their experiences working at the bar. Nathan was shocked at the stories. North could not help but say, “You should stop drinking.” “Why should I stop drinking? I’ve already spent money on alcohol! So, why shouldn’t I drink?” Nathan gestured, and another male escort scooted closer to him. The male escort was initially quite confident, but after he came, his gaze flickered between Nathan and North, as he was confused about who his actual client was. “Um…” Before he could finish speaking, someone was shouting in shock outside of the door. Immediately after, the noisy bar fell silent. North had a bad fe

    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?”
