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
“Clearly, I don’t know how to read since Bryan keeps saying I’m wrong. Ah, I don’t understand.” Nathan pretended to be puzzled. “Since Reina is Mr. Jordan’s daughter, why is she 100% related to Linda Lane and Henry Myers in the paternity test? Can anyone explain it to me?” Bryan suddenly widened his eyes, thinking that he had misheard. The scene was silent for three seconds before someone added, “Mr. Nathan, you didn’t misread it. Reina’s biological father is Henry Myers, and her biological mother is Linda Lane.” Another person said meaningfully, “Ah, how strange. Can a person have that many biological parents?” “Otherwise, why are Henry and Linda Reina’s biological parents in addition to Mr. Jordan and Madam Estella? How can the four of them have one child?” Bryan suddenly stopped in his tracks and quickly turned around. His eyes were about to pop out of his head. “What?!” Reina was flustered and terrified. “Dad, don’t listen to them. They… They were all bribed by Nort
Did Gabriel say that? It seemed like… he really did say that. However, Gabriel was interrupted by Bryan’s anger. “No, that’s impossible… How could I be wrong…” He knew what these paternity tests meant. It meant that Reina was not his biological daughter. His biological daughter might very well be… North. But if it was North, then he would not have a daughter…North had already become enemies with the Jordan family… He could not believe it. He did not want to believe it. He just wanted to escape. Gerald glanced at him and smirked sarcastically. “Mr. Jordan, I’ve reminded you that Patricia and Madam Estella used to be ‘love rivals.’ Why would she treat the daughter of her love rival as her biological daughter?” Bryan staggered. He remembered… Gerald and Reina’s marriage was arranged by Patricia, but Patricia hated Estella so much. Why… “It’s because Patricia also knows who Madam Estella’s real daughter is, and she’s not Reina.” Gerald said meaningfully, “Mr. Jordan, it
“Not only the photos, but also Estella’s diary, inheritance, and design plans... Everything was left for North.” Gerald mocked Bryan. “You’re a smart person. You should have figured it out, right?” Bryan staggered and fell to the floor with a thud. Yes… he was not stupid. What else could it be? It could only be because… Estella was North’s mother. She was North’s mother. North was his daughter…! He wanted to scream!North took out Estella’s diary. It was her handwriting. North still had the beautiful notes and paintings that Estella had taken away from the Jordan family.Bryan finally admitted that he had made a mistake. What should he do? The Jordan family and North were already at loggerheads with each other. North’s hands, the grievances she had suffered… Even fifteen minutes ago, he had looked down on her because of Reina! “North…” Bryan got up in a daze. “North, I’m your father. I’m your father…” North ran her fingers through her hair and said calmly, “Mr. Jordan
Bryan looked enlightened. On the floor, Reina was still pleading with him. As she cursed North, she laughed out loud. She seemed to have gone crazy. Gerald told Bryan everything that had happened in the past decade. After Estella’s death, he told Bryan what kind of life North led in the Myers family. He told him how the Myers plotted against her. He told him how Reina hired someone to kill her. He told him how they hunted her down.Of course, he did not say this to guilt trip Bryan. It was for a different reason…Gerald said slowly, “Mr. Jordan, are you happy after helping your daughter’s enemy abuse her?” Bryan shook his head in horror. “North, listen to me. I didn’t know at that time…” Gerald spoke again, shattering Bryan’s delusion bit by bit. “Do you feel a sense of accomplishment helping the biological daughter of Linda, who killed Estella, to torture your biological daughter?” “No, it’s all their fault. They didn’t tell me—” “Mr. Jordan.” North did not have any
The Internet was in an uproar. The evidence against Reina was unshakeable. No matter how stubborn her fans were, they did not dare defend her. Otherwise, they would be ridiculed. Reina was finished. The Myers family was also nailed to the pillar of shame. Ian could not do anything about the company’s deficit. He did not even dare to go out. When Bernard lost control of the situation, he left with his men. Since the dust had settled, the guests looked at each other and bade farewell. An hour later, the entire residence fell silent. “It’s over.” Gerald ordered someone to clean up the scene. “Let’s leave for a few days.” North had been tense. However, after she heard Gerald’s words, she relaxed.It was over… Yes, it was over. Reina would go to jail, and she would part ways with the Jordan family. That was great. Gerald touched her forehead. “You’re very tired. Rest for a few days.” North had no objections. “You said we’re going out. Where are we going?” Because she ha
North wanted to tell this to Gerald. She jogged to the balcony and saw that he was reading documents. She pointed at the wireless phone in her hand and pressed the speaker button. Gerald raised his eyebrows. The person who spoke just now should be Mrs. Scott’s friend. As soon as she finished speaking, a few people around her echoed, “Yes, it’s very beautiful. Mrs. Scott, Nelly has been here before, right?” “She must have been here. Otherwise, how would Nelly know about this place? I saw Mr. Howard bring Nelly here many times in private.” “Excuse me, arrange a few guest rooms for us.” The last sentence was directed at the manager.After these people finished speaking, Mrs. Scott nodded arrogantly. “Did you hear that? These are my friends. Treat them well.” The manager said anxiously, “Mrs. Scott, I’m really sorry. Glass Manor is not open to the public. Mr. Howard has instructed me not to let anyone in. You… You should go back!” Mrs. Scott immediately frowned. Her frie
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?”
