“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
When North heard this voice, she was no longer sleepy. She sat up from the bed with a whoosh and pushed Gerald excitedly.“Quick, stop sleeping! Get up, and watch the show with me!”Gerald was still awake. He was indeed very curious about what happened to Patricia, but when he saw North’s excited expression, he remained silent for a long time.After such a loud scream, Connor and the butler were also woken up. Connor cursed Patricia and Mike countless times in his heart, but he still came to look for Gerald.Gerald put on his jacket. “What’s wrong?”Connor was at a loss for words. “Sir, Madam Patricia seems to have been disfigured.”Gerald paused and looked at North meaningfully. “Disfigured?”“Yes, Mike said that Patricia was poisoned. Patricia called the doctor and…” Connor gritted his teeth. “She even called the police.”North almost applauded. Patricia was really quick!Gerald nodded lightly. “I understand.”After saying that, he looked at North vaguely. “Mrs. Howard, do
What Patricia hated the most was Gerald’s expression. It reminded her of Paige back then. She had clearly taken everything from Paige, but even when Paige was about to die, she still looked at her with such a calm gaze!Patricia was both angry and frustrated. She screamed angrily, “Capture this unfilial fool. Hurry!”No one dared to move.Patricia was flustered and exasperated. “Alright! If you don’t have the guts, I’ll do it myself!“It’s all your fault, you jinx. If I had known, I would have taken care of you twenty years ago—”“Oh, you wanted to have Gerald killed twenty years ago?” North stood in front of Gerald and grabbed Patricia’s wrist. She twisted it, and a scream sounded.Patricia’s hands trembled. “Who do you think you are? Get lost! You have no right to interrupt me when I’m talking to Gerald! You unfilial son, how dare you poison me? I’m going to put justice before family today!”North curved her lips and spoke slowly in a very affected tone.“Ms. Patricia, what a
“I… I…” Patricia was dumbfounded.She was clearly the one who was disfigured, so how did North become the victim?!No, Gerald must have done something. No matter what, she had to…“The police are here!” Suddenly, the butler ran in with two police officers behind him.Patricia’s eyes lit up. If Gerald was taken away by the police, regardless of whether he was convicted or not, his reputation would be ruined!“North, let’s see how you can argue now!”After Patricia finished speaking, she hurriedly went up to them with tears in her eyes. “Officer, you must seek justice for me… I came to see my eldest son out of goodwill, but I didn’t expect him to disfigure me for no reason…”Mike seemed to be defending her, but he was actually hurting her cause. “My mother woke up in the middle of the night and realized that she and I were both poisoned. At that time, there were only four people in the entire manor. I believe that the person who poisoned us was not my brother, but…”The two polic
North’s lips curled up slightly.Everyone fell silent.After a long while, a doctor muttered to himself, “Could that bottle in Mr. Mike’s hand contain poison…?”Patricia was poisoned at one in the morning.Mike walked into Patricia’s room with a bottle of medicine when the surveillance camera showed that it was 12:55 a.m.This was too much of a coincidence. No one would believe that the person who poisoned her was not Mike. Otherwise, why would he enter her room in the middle of the night? Was he going to talk about the mysteries of the universe?Everyone looked at Mike strangely.Mike felt a lump in his throat and looked terrified.What was this?!He did not remember going out at night, let alone poisoning her! This person was not him!“So… The person who poisoned her was Mr. Mike.”Amidst the strange silence, North spoke slowly.“Mr. Mike, although Ms. Patricia is not your biological mother, she treats you so well. How could you poison her? You even said that the person w
