What a joke. The engagement gift was something her mother had left for her. Why should she give it to Melinda?!

North copied the proof she found into her phone and left.

She had been an idiot in the past and let Eiger’s words blind her to the truth. She had thought that he was the man with whom she could spend the rest of her life.

Since they insisted on asking for trouble, she was not going to play nice!

Gerald stared at North and let out a light huff.

One minute later, Connor came in. “Mr. Gerald, there’s a minor situation at the Howard family. The madam has asked you to go to the hospital.”

Gerald’s gaze turned stormy and dangerous.

Then, he remembered something and chuckled. “Sure. Let’s go.”

In the hospital, a feeble Melinda lay in Eiger’s arms while looking worried. “Eiger, are you really going to cancel your engagement with my sister? If so, I should go and apologize to her. After all, you’re doing this because of me.”

Eiger frowned. “Me canceling the engagement has nothing to do with you. She cheated and brought shame to the South family.”

“Melinda, our families came to this decision together. She has to cancel the engagement today!” Henry added coldly.

At that moment, Melinda looked up with teary eyes and started trembling. “How did you get here so quickly, North?”

North was standing at the door and watching Melinda hug Eiger. She flicked her hair with a mocking sneer and cocked her eyebrows in a lazy fashion. “If I didn’t get here so quickly, I wouldn’t have been able to see you two acting so lovey-dovey with each other, would I?”

Melinda broke free of Eiger’s arms. Her face was pale, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

When Linda saw North, she flew into a rage and rushed over to slap her. “How could you laugh?! Look at what you did to Melinda!” she screeched.

North grabbed her hand and twisted it. “I’m not the mistress here, so why can’t I laugh?”

Henry exploded. “You b*stard! Melinda and Eiger love each other! Watch your mouth!”

North sized Melinda up. “Also, you’re just a b*stard. Where did you even get the gall to call yourself my sister?”

“How dare you?!”

Henry wanted to throw a cup at North’s head, but Melinda spoke up at that moment. “Don’t be angry, Dad. I know that I’ve betrayed North. If it will make her happy, I’m willing to step down…”

She looked like she had been mistreated horribly.

Henry felt even angrier and started yelling at North. “Look at how kind Melinda is! It doesn’t matter if you’re engaged to Eiger! I want Melinda to marry him in your place! If you’re not happy about it, come at me!

“Besides, you’re the one who cheated on him! Do you have any idea how much shame you brought us, you b*tch!”

North sneered and glared at them. “So, you do know that cheating brings shame to the family?”

Their expressions stiffened.

The ward fell silent, and the nurses looked at each other.

North was right. The first person to have cheated in the family… was Henry himself. How could he yell at his daughter when he felt no shame about doing it himself?

Henry’s face turned red from anger. “Shut up! Your mother should have been able to keep me at home! It’s not my fault! It’s your mother who wasn’t good enough! That’s why I got together with Linda!”

North grabbed a chair and smashed it against the ground. The whole ward rang with the sound of it. “Say that again. I dare you.”

    Henry trembled and could even feel his vision blacking out. North looked at all the people in the room. Melinda was only three months younger than she was. On the second day after her mother passed away, Linda moved into the Myers family’s mansion with her daughter. Soon after, when North realized that there was something strange about her mother’s death, she was sent to the countryside, and her family never asked about her wellbeing. If her mother had not clearly stated in her will that North was to inherit her wealth and possessions, the Myers family might have even forgotten that she existed. Henry roared at her with a red face, “I said nothing wrong! Both you and your mother only know to blame others! You never see yourselves as the problem!”“We never see ourselves as the problem?” North hummed expressionlessly. “Makes sense. After all, my mother wasn’t good at seducing men, unlike Linda. Mrs. Myers, not only did you manage to snag my father, you even taught your daught

    “You won’t be the one proposing the cancellation. I will.”The ward fell silent once more. Linda was stunned for a total of three seconds before she registered what North said, and she screeched, “What did you just say?!”If Eiger proposed the cancellation, it would be fine because North had cheated on him repeatedly, as if she was addicted to it. But if it became North who proposed the cancellation, what would people say? They would blame Melinda for it! Linda could not allow that to happen!Melinda’s pale face became stricken with tears. “North, I know that you feel upset about this, but you can’t just take out your frustrations on Eiger…”Once Eiger finally wrapped his head around what North said, the tiny bit of guilt he felt toward her faded away. “What on earth are you trying to pull now?”North snorted. “Mr. Eiger, you want to cancel your engagement with me because you saw those photos and think I’m indecent, right?”Eiger scowled. “Yes. That’s it. I won’t be with a wo

    The criticisms from the doctor and nurses just kept coming, and Melinda instinctively screamed, “Am I not your sister, North?! How could you set me up like this?! My heart hurts…”“Melinda!” Linda immediately realized what Melinda wanted to do and went over to her while crying. “North, are you happy after doing this to Melinda? Henry, protect your daughter! You know her heart is weak… Oh, why are our lives so full of hardships?!”Henry stared at North’s face with growing fury. He should have killed this b*stard fifteen years ago!Why was she such an insensible child? There was nothing wrong with sacrificing her for the sake of the Myers family and Melinda’s future!The more Henry thought about it, the angrier he became. He slammed his hand on the chair. “Enough! Stop talking about this!”North looked at him. “Stop talking about this? I was set up. My wedding and reputation were both ruined. Yet you want me to not talk about it after the truth was revealed? You want me to keep Meli

    But Gerald’s wife looked familiar, and he seemed to have heard her name before…North Myers…Colt repeated her name in his mind a few times before he remembered. He whipped his head up. He was so shocked he did not know what to say. “Aren’t you Henry Myers’s eldest daughter, the one who was exposed for cheating during the wedding yesterday—I mean, the one who was the limelight during the wedding yesterday? Gerald, you actually married someone Eiger South doesn’t—”He swallowed his last word, but North understood what he was trying to say. Colt was in disbelief and shock that Gerald had married his nephew’s fiancee. After all, it was against morals for Gerald to be in a relationship with his nephew’s ex-fiancee. Gerald’s gaze darkened, and he hummed. “You can go now.”Colt, too, wanted to stay far away from them because they were surely going to bring about a lot of trouble in their wake. He cleared his throat. “Goodbye, Ms. North. By the way, Gerald, that person has shown u

    Connor stopped the car and said respectfully, “Mr. Gerald, we’ve reached Dew Garden.”North looked up in shock. Dew Garden was a diner famous among the upper-class society. Melinda was its loyal patron, but North had never eaten inside it before. Why did Gerald bring her here?Gerald toyed with the pendant and pushed his guess to the back of his mind. “Since you want to give me the pendant, I’ll take it,” he said with a chuckle. “But I can’t just take the pendant without giving anything in return, so I’ll treat you to a meal. Come.”North was relieved when he accepted the pendant, but she soon became puzzled. How did he know that she had always wanted to come to this diner? Was it just a coincidence?Before she could think more about it, she heard jarring voices not too far away. “That woman isn’t worthy of my son. I’m already showing her respect by canceling the engagement. She’s just a country bumpkin. Now that Eiger doesn’t want her, no one else will either!”“Her scandalou

    “Yeah, yeah. I will.” North sighed in a tolerant fashion. “Mrs. South, you should accept the truth as soon as possible. In any case, it doesn’t matter even if your son is no good. He has Melinda. She’ll be loyal to him.”The people started whispering among themselves. “My goodness. Melinda Myers wants to marry Eiger South even though she knows that he’s no good? What does she want?”“I see. It’s no wonder why I often see Eiger South going to an andrologist. I say, it must have been really tough for North Myers to keep this a secret for years.”“That’s right. Mrs. South knows that her son is no good, but still thinks that North Myers should love him to bits? She’s such a narcissist.”The mocking words made North’s grin grow wider. When she walked past Fiona, she said nonchalantly, “Mrs. South, don’t cause trouble for me. You saw what happened just now. If you do, your son is the one who’s going to be humiliated.”She then walked into a private room. “You…” Fiona trembled in rag

    Gerald narrowed his eyes. He got the same strange sensation again. North seemed to really care about his connection to the South family…A glint appeared in Gerald’s eyes. “Not everyone has the right to see me,” he said in a relaxed and ambiguous manner.After mulling over it for a bit, North understood what he meant. He had no need to meet people of no importance. Fiona might be a part of the South family, but she was nothing when compared to those who had the blood of the South family flowing in their veins. North had also heard that Ronald South was not pleased with Fiona. If that were the case, it made sense that Fiona had never met Gerald before. As expected of the heir. He spoke with steadfast confidence. North immediately felt relieved and stuffed the abalone she had yet to finish eating into her mouth. Then, she said, “I thought that the food in Dew Garden would be something special, since it’s so famous. But the taste is only so-so.”Gerald hummed in agreement. “It’

    North resisted the urge to flip Gerald the bird again. Just a moment ago, he was suspecting her of possibly cheating on him in the future, and now he wanted her to go to an auction with him? He was so infuriating!But she pretended to be delighted. “Sure. No problem.”Gerald looked away. He did not expose her terrible acting. …At night, Gerald sat in his study room and listened to Colt on the phone. Once he was finished, Gerald narrowed his eyes and looked at the information Colt sent him.Five years ago, a hacker got into Deep Pool Corporation’s main system and left without a trace. No one could find them. That hacker showed up again today. And, on this day, Gerald’s wife managed to find the person Melinda hired to ruin her reputation. Melinda had wiped off all traces about her hiring a person to photoshop the photos, so it was not easy to find the man, but North had managed to do it right away. Was it mere coincidence?Gerald smiled. Things were going to get interesting n

    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?”
