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
Mrs. Scott turned around contemptuously. Suddenly, her voice was stuck in her throat. “G-Gerald…” Wait, what was going on? Why was Gerald there?! The hall instantly fell silent. Gerald’s gaze was cold. “Mrs. Scott, don’t you understand the words ‘not open to the public’?” Mrs. Scott immediately felt as if she had been slapped a few times in the face! She knew that it was not open to the public, but it did not matter! She was not an outsider, anyway.Gerald must have been told to do this by North. Otherwise, he would definitely treat her well! Mrs. Scott exclaimed and sniffed affectedly. “Gerald, there aren’t many people in Glass Manor usually. I brought a few friends here to relax. When your place opens for business, we can promote it. What do you think?” Gerald’s lips curled up slightly. Although he was smiling, Mrs. Scott felt a chill run down her spine. “Perhaps I have to explain again what a private residence is?” Private residences were closed and not open for bus
The more Mrs. Scott thought about it, the more self-satisfied she felt. That was right. Couldn’t she just push the blame to Mason? Mason was Gerald’s friend. Even if she wanted to blame someone, Mason was still an “outsider” to the Scott family. If she wanted to blame someone, she could just blame the outsider. What did it matter? Mrs. Scott laughed and said, “Look at me. I’m getting on in years. I get Nelly and Mason mixed up. Gerald, Nelly never mentioned it in private. Instead, it was Mason who mentioned it several times. “He said that you two are friends and that he came to Glass Manor. So, he asked me to come over for a few days when I was free. He said that everyone here will recognize him!” North clicked her tongue. Mason was indeed an outsider to the Scotts. Not only was he cast aside, but the Scott family even used him as a scapegoat. They were pushing the blame on him. Gerald smiled faintly. “Mason?” “Yes, yes!” Mrs. Scott felt a lump in her throat. “We all know t
Nelly sincerely made an apology. The wealthy ladies stopped making wild speculations. “Ms. Nelly must have made a mistake. Why would she take advantage of her relationship with Gerald?” After the wealthy ladies left, Mrs. Scott pulled Nelly to a corner with an ugly expression. “Nelly! What are you doing? You could have said it was Mason…” “Mom!” Nelly glanced back to make sure that Gerald was still there. She spoke loudly and righteously. “It’s clearly my fault. How can you blame Mason?!” Mrs. Scott rolled her eyes. “Your brother has a good relationship with Gerald. Gerald won’t be mad at him. I’m just worried that Gerald will be mad at you.” Nelly said helplessly, “If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong. There’s nothing else to do. Mom, North has been in a bad mood lately. Gerald only brought her to Glass Manor for a few days, and you still came to disturb her. It would be strange if Gerald wasn’t angry. “Mom, come with me to apologize to North.” North felt that there was a hi
“Nelly, I didn’t know you cared about me so much.”North continued meaningfully, “To be honest, sometimes I feel that Bryan isn’t my father, and Gabriel isn’t my brother. After all, we don’t look alike at all.”Nelly clenched her fists, but she was still smiling. “What are you talking about? How could it be wrong? Mr. Jordan was misled by Reina. You’re the daughter of the Jordan family. Isn’t that a given?”North blinked. “Nelly, do you really want me to be related to the Jordan family by blood?”“I…” Nelly felt a lump in her throat, but she realized that she could not look too excited, so she helplessly shook her head. “Having a father like Mr. Jordan… Of course, I don’t want you to have such a father, but that’s the truth. Even if you cut him off, blood ties still exist.”North raised her eyebrows. Although she did not know why, she felt that Nelly was deliberately reminding her that she was a member of the Jordan family. It felt like she was hoping that she would be tied to t
There was probably no other person like Mrs. Scott who would come to the Glass Manor at such a time to disturb them.North was suddenly enlightened. “Are you talking about Patricia?”Gerald sneered. “Paige’s death anniversary is approaching, and her inheritance will be made public. How can Patricia sit still?”As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Connor walked over with a dark expression. “Sir, Patricia has brought Mike here.”Gerald nodded lightly. “Chase them out.”Then, he looked at North. His expression did not change, and he was extremely calm. “Let’s go. Don’t let this affect your mood.”“Gerald!” A furious roar was heard.Patricia was extremely angry. After all, she was being disrespected. The housekeeper did not dare to really stop her and could only follow behind her anxiously.As soon as Patricia arrived, she heard the words “chase them out”. She was so angry that her face turned red.Paige had been dead for so many years, but she had only found out about th
North knew why Patricia was afraid.Although Paige’s death was well-hidden by the Howard and Bracken families, it was obvious that her death was related to Patricia.Moreover… Mike was not Paige’s son. How could he be used as a shield?Patricia was afraid because she felt guilty.North looked down at them from above. “Ms. Patricia, don’t be so nervous. Gerald has already agreed to let you stay. There’s really no need to thank him.”Patricia was trembling with anger. “North! Just you wait!”North turned around. “Gerald, Madam Patricia might not want us to see her in such a predicament. Let’s go.”Gerald glanced at the two of them coldly. “Yes.”Patricia’s entire body trembled, but when she recalled her true motive, she forcefully held it in.Who knew that Paige had left behind so many amazing things? She definitely could not let Gerald monopolize them all.However, Paige had left behind a will…Hence, Patricia thought of a good idea.She had gotten some medicine from the Tay
However, the people in Glass Manor were all Gerald’s men. They could not be bothered to watch Patricia’s act.Seeing how stubborn Gerald was, Patricia trembled with anger. She gritted her teeth and decided to forcefully feed Gerald!“Hey, Ms. Patricia, give me the porridge.”Suddenly, North took the bowl of porridge and wiped her nonexistent tears.“You’ve moved me. You’re right. There’s no such thing as a feud between mother and son. I believe that you sincerely made this bowl of porridge.”North’s eyes were cold, and her entire face was hidden in the dark, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.North secretly sprinkled something into the porridge, then scooped a spoonful and fed it to Gerald.“Gerald, give Ms. Patricia a chance and have a bite.”Gerald narrowed his eyes.North blinked crazily at him.Gerald paused for a moment before slowly lowering his head and accepting the bite.Patricia’s heart almost jumped out of her throat. She stared at Gerald and
