First, Reina forged a will. Then, the fact that she had hired someone to kill North had been exposed.Reina’s image was ruined.The guests at the venue could not help but curse at her. Only Bryan pushed Reina behind him with a pained expression. “Gerald, do you have to be so ruthless?! North isn’t dead, but you’re backing Reina into a corner…” Bryan was heartbroken. “Don’t you remember that Reina is your savior?! How dare you repay kindness with ingratitude…” No one cared about Bryan. It did not matter if Reina saved Gerald. She was a murderer. Did she want Gerald to come to her rescue forever? Unexpectedly, Gerald smiled. “Mr. Jordan, I’ve always been repaying my savior.” Bryan’s anger was instantly ignited. “Are you going to say that you called the police for Reina’s sake?! North is still alive. Do you have to make such a big deal out of this?! If it weren’t for Reina being there four years ago, you would have died long ago—” “Did you make a mistake? Who said that my sa
North chuckled. “Are these questions difficult to answer?” Of course, Reina could not answer them. She cursed North in her heart! “I… I just…” “Or let me ask you a few simple questions.” North paused for a moment. “What kind of injuries did Gerald sustain? What did you do for first aid? Since you were his ‘saving grace,’ I’m sure you can tell us what you did.” Everyone stared at Reina. Reina broke out in a cold sweat as her body trembled. “I… I…” Seeing her like this, how could anyone not figure it out? Even Bryan stared at Reina in shock. Reina’s tone sounded like she was about to die. It did not matter if she was the one who pretended to be his savior! Was it wrong to want wealth and glory?! She… She just loved Gerald too much! No, she could not admit it! Reina shouted like a madwoman. “I’m Gerald’s savior! Look, I still have this button! Gerald, have you forgotten? This is the token you gave me!” When Gerald was saved, he was penniless and could not give his savi
The truth was right in front of them. Reina could not answer North’s questions. Reina could only say “I don’t know” whenever North brought out more evidence. No one believed Reina’s lies. Reina shook her head vigorously. “No, it’s not that! North deliberately bribed the people at the exchange and got them to take a fake video! North, why did you frame me? Why?” “I framed you?” North sneered and grabbed Reina’s chin.Bryan cried out in shock. “Of course. I framed you for everything. Even though I almost died, I framed you. When you forged my will, I framed you. When you faked your pregnancy and miscarriages, I framed you. How long do you want to keep using this tactic, you useless fool?“Reina, what happened four years ago? I was backed into a corner by you and the entire Myers family. You wanted to kill me to ensure that your identity would not be discovered.“Despite that, you’re still saying that I framed you?” “Ah! No!” Reina screamed. Fear engulfed her. She tremble
Reina fell to the ground. She was in a sorry state, and her eyes were red. “Gerald, you actually helped North hit me? I love you so much. Why do you care about North? Why?! Everything I did was for us. If I love you, you should love me back!” North turned around and met Gerald’s red eyes. She was stunned. Gerald was usually cold. Even when he was in unbearable pain, his expression was cold and restrained. It could be said that in his dictionary, there was no such thing as crying. However, his eyes had reddened. He looked at North quietly with a gaze that she could not understand. North looked away and interrogated Reina. “You’re ridiculous. So, Gerald should love you back because you love him? There are so many people in the world who love him, does he have to love them all back?” Reina’s face was filled with anger. “Gerald, how can I be the same as those b*tches? I’m the eldest daughter of the Jordan family. I am superior by birthright! Wouldn’t I know how risky it was
North was a stepping stone, yet she still dared to fight back. This was her fault, wasn’t it? Bryan could not understand why North could not accept her fate. Why did she have her fate? Why couldn’t she sacrifice herself for Reina? Wasn’t that what she should do? North sneered. Bryan was such a hypocrite. Those above him had to treat him as an equal, and those below him had to grovel at his feet Bryan thought North was just an ant. If she died, so be it. If she became a stepping stone, that was her fate. It was her fault for being born inferior.North really could not figure it out. How could she be the daughter of such a person? Bryan knew that today’s matter would not be resolved peacefully. He took a deep breath. “Gerald, I understand Reina pretended to be your savior. This is her fault. However, she’s still the eldest daughter of the Jordan family. I’m sure you understand, right?” Gerald said lightly, “I don’t understand.” Bryan was humiliated again, and his expressio
Bryan knew that Gerald would not agree. Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing. “Since North is fine, and Reina has already paid the price, then… let Reina apologize and handle the matter privately. How about that?” Reina had already paid a hefty price when Gerald had shot her wrists. However, Bryan did not dare reveal it.If the outside world were to ask why Gerald did this, what would they say? They would have to confess that Gerald was avenging North because Reina had gotten someone to slash North’s wrists! Reina’s reputation was ruined. After saying this, Bryan felt a little aggrieved for Reina. In his opinion, it was not a big deal. What was there to apologize for? Bernard also thought that this was a good idea. Just as he was about to agree, he saw Gerald smile. Then, Gerald’s expression quickly turned cold. “Apologize?” Gerald spoke coldly and enunciated each word.“If the person who was hunted down today, slandered, and almost killed was you
Gerald raised his eyebrows slightly. “What does my work have to do with the Howard family? Wasn’t it the Howard family who clung to me?” Bernard’s expression froze, and everyone choked. Yes, what did it have to do with the Howard family? When the Howard family saw that there were benefits, they stuck close to Gerald. When there were no benefits, they kicked Gerald away. “That’s why you need to use your brain. You’re already so old. If you don’t use your brain, you’ll be at a higher risk of dementia. You can’t even investigate the Jordan family’s matters, so you probably don’t understand my relationship with the Howard family.” After Gerald finished speaking, he did not look at Bernard’s and Bryan’s expressions. He smiled and asked, “Mr. Jordan, in your opinion, is Reina’s apology the biggest step backward she can take?” Everyone could not help but shake their heads. What was going on? Attempted murder, slander, forging a will, false accusations, and identity theft… Those we
Bryan’s mind buzzed. What did they mean by “he mistook his daughter for someone else”? What nonsense were these people talking about?! However, the people around them did not care what Bryan was thinking. All of them took out their phones to read the gossip online. “I’ll log in!” “Wow, it’s shocking!” “D*mn, Nathan was right. Bryan is brainless…” “How can someone with such little intelligence be the head of the Jordan family?” The young scions were so shocked that they became louder and louder as they spoke. They were stopped by their elders, but they had said enough to spur everyone into action. Hence, more and more people could not hold back their curiosity and clicked on Twitter. A minute later, everyone looked at each other. North blinked. “Gerald, what did you do?” Gerald’s expression did not change. “I just wanted to give Mr. Jordan a surprise. Mr. Jordan, do you think it’s a surprise enough?” Bryan was so angry that his face turned red. He had no idea w
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?”
