North nodded. Her eldest brother was right. Bryan was indeed not responsible.After the Jordan family went in, everyone was dumbfounded.“What? Didn’t the Jordan family want to acknowledge North? Instead of admitting they had made a mistake, they started doting on the daughter of a branch family in front of their own daughter. What do they hope to achieve?”“That’s why I said North was so pitiful. If she had returned to the Jordan family, she wouldn’t have to suffer today’s grievances. Look, now a young lady from a branch family is about to walk all over her.”“I’ve heard of Susie Jordan. She’s considered quite outstanding in the Jordan family. However, it’s not to the extent of pampering her and leaving the real eldest daughter of the Jordan family aside.”…In the villa, Bryan was worried. “Mom, aren’t we going overboard? North is my daughter, but I didn’t give her any preferential treatment. Instead…”“Bryan!” Brenda sneered. “Although Susie isn’t your biological daughter, sh
Before Mrs. Brandy married Mr. Brandy, she had been in a rich family. She was living the life many could only dream of. Mr. Brandy doted on her so much that even though she was already fifty years old, she was still playful and girlish.Instead of thinking of something else, she just had to hook North. Mrs. Brandy described the scene. “North, think about it. Everyone is socializing at the banquet. Then, the sound of hooves can be heard at the door. Everyone walks out and finds two tall white horses pulling a crystal carriage. Then, you get out of the carriage. At this moment, everyone’s eyes will be on you. Everyone will only see you…” North hurriedly interrupted her. “I think I’m fine now!” Mrs. Brandy was a little disappointed. “I see. Forget it then. Still, I’ve prepared some jewelry for you. It’s very beautiful. It was made by a master craftsman a hundred years ago. I brought you the full set. You can stun everyone later!” North wanted to ask Marlin for help. Mrs. Br
Susie’s expression did not look good either. She was now the eldest daughter of the Jordan family. How could North be so shameless as to approach her?! Was North’s seat moved when she saw them sitting at the second table? No, the position of the eldest daughter of the Jordan family belonged to her. She would not let North succeed! “Grandma, why is North here? I recall that she doesn’t belong to this table…” Everyone’s seats were arranged according to their status. No one dared to sit anywhere else. This was especially so for North. She came alone and had no one to support her. She was a nobody. Where could the Brandy family arrange for her to sit? Only the last few tables had free seats!However, she had actually walked to the second table. What was the meaning of this? It was obvious!North must have found out that the Jordan family was here and came over to mooch off them! Bryan smiled. “North, you’re here. Quick, sit here…” “No!” Before he could finish speaking, sh
“I’m not Uncle Bryan’s biological daughter, to begin with. North is. I don’t have the right to sit here. Now that North is here, I should leave.” Susie nodded to Mrs. Jordan and Bryan. “Don’t worry, I won’t cause trouble. I’ll wait for the banquet to end before leaving.” The people around her could not help but nod in approval when they saw how she endured the humiliation and looked at the big picture. This branch of the Jordan family was quite reasonable. After all, no matter what North’s identity was, the Brandy family would arrange a seat for her if they knew there was a discrepancy. However, it was not good to offend the other people at the second table. If someone wanted to leave, it could only be Susie. Susie did not make things difficult for anyone. The fact that she spoke up first was enough to show that she was considerate of everyone. Before Bryan could speak, Mrs. Jordan was the first to disagree. “No, you were brought in by the Jordan family. If we give up on
“You actually had the gall to show me that you cheated on me on our wedding day? How could you be so vulgar, North?!”North Myers stared at the shameful pictures on the screen, and her mind simply could not process what she was seeing. Her fiance, Eiger South, stormed over and slapped her. Her half-sister, Melinda Myers, started crying. “North, why didn’t you treasure Eiger when he’s such a good man?!”North suddenly understood something. She had been engaged to Eiger since childhood, and they were to be married today. But when she entered the church, she saw Eiger hugging Melinda intimately. She had been furious and gone over to question them, only to have pictures of her “cheating” with different men start playing on screen. The guests looked over. “How disgusting. She actually slept with so many men? She can’t possibly compare to Miss Melinda, who is as pure as snow.”“North is actually so wild in private? How embarrassing.”Henry Myers, her father, was furious. “You t
Since the tragic lovers had a love that was oh-so-great, North should give them a huge gift to celebrate their love. North made a call. The next moment, Linda received a message and screeched. “What did you do?!”She stormed over to slap North. “How could you say my daughter slept with her brother-in-law?! You’re so despicable! How could you say such a thing?! You hurt Melinda and even tried to ruin her reputation?! I’m going to fight you, you b*tch!”North sneered. Linda called her a b*tch whenever she felt like it, and she could not believe anymore how long she had tolerated it for Eiger’s sake. She grabbed Linda’s hand and slapped her. “Can’t stand me saying a few bad words about your daughter? Both you and Melinda are using my mother’s inheritance, and you have the gall to yell at me?!”When Linda heard North talking about the inheritance, she did not even care that she had just been slapped and started yelling. “What’re you planning to do, huh?! You can only get the i
”All I’m looking for is to marry someone. I’m not trying to get anything out of you by asking you to marry me. You’ll be able to do whatever you want after marriage as if I didn’t exist. The other socialites can’t offer you that.”Eiger’s uncle was a powerful man in Peacevale. Since his parents were forcing him to marry, he was definitely against the idea of marriage. This meant that he should be interested in the opportunity to tell his parents that he got married and retain his freedom at the same time. North believed that he would agree to marry her under such a condition. Gerald bent down, and his eyes shone with a dangerous glint. “You’re not trying to get anything out of me, you say?”North’s heart sank. Why did she have the feeling that Gerald was not happy? What was wrong?Was it not better for him if she was not trying to get anything out of him in the marriage?The atmosphere was suffocating. Worried that he was going to say no, North tried thinking of something to sa
Gerald Howard!The most mysterious and powerful man in Peacevale!North fell completely silent and nearly bit her own tongue from shock. “You’re the leader of Deep Pool Corporation?!”Gerald finished signing the paper and chuckled. “Why are you so surprised? Didn’t you know who I was when you asked me to marry you?”North’s mind went blank. She actually did not know! Who would have thought that the leader of Deep Pool Corporation was Eiger’s uncle? More shocking yet, who would have thought that he would agree to marry her!It was no wonder why they were welcomed by a government official at the city hall. Gerald Howard’s marriage was a huge matter. North gulped. She could not let Gerald think that she had never seen an elephant before, so she feigned calmness. “I wasn’t expecting someone as famous as you to be so casual about”—under Gerald’s gaze, North changed what she originally wanted to say—“following marriage procedures. I thought you’d want the city hall officials to co
