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
North did not have any negative feelings about Susie at first. There were many people who wanted to climb up the ladder. There was nothing wrong with that. But if she had to step on her in order to climb up, she would be unhappy. North looked at her coldly. “Ms. Jordan, you’re only two years older than me. Don’t talk to me like I’m your little sister. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.” Susie’s eyes suddenly turned red as tears flowed down her face. The other people looked at each other. North did not respect the Jordan family at all! Wasn’t she afraid that Mr. Brandy would come and chase her out? If she was chased away at the Brandy family’s banquet, how embarrassing would that be? Bryan also panicked. “North, I’ll go tell the Brandy family’s head to let you sit beside me. There’s no need for you to offend someone at the Brandy family’s banquet just to make things difficult for us.”*“I’m doing this for your own good. Stop fooling around…” “Mr. Jordan.” North interrupte
At this thought, just as she was about to complain, Mrs. Brandy asked coldly again, “Are you deaf, Mrs. Jordan? Didn’t you hear what I asked just now?” Mrs. Jordan was stunned. She did not expect Mrs. Brandy to be so disrespectful to her. Logically speaking, this should not be the case… Unless… She realized that the Brandy family hated North’s nonsense and blamed it on the Jordan family! It was all North’s fault! She would push all the blame to North! Mrs. Jordan hurriedly said, “I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you, Mrs. Brandy. I was just about to chase this unfilial granddaughter of mine away.” “Oh…” Mrs. Brandy nodded. When she met North’s eyes, her anger suddenly surged. The Brandy family had raised North like their biological daughter, but the Jordan family had hurt her in every way! Initially, Bryan had believed Reina to be his biological daughter. However, he could still say that Reina was cunning and had deceived the Jordan family. However, even though he
Mrs. Jordan said helplessly, “If she wasn’t so disobedient, I wouldn’t have treated her like this, but now… Ah, Mrs. Brandy, it’s better to chase her away. Don’t let her ruin the banquet.”The surroundings instantly fell silent. Everyone, including Mrs. Jordan and Bryan, could sense that Mrs. Brandy was angry. Susie was secretly delighted. North was such an idiot. Offending Mrs. Brandy would not end well for her. Mrs. Brandy sneered. “Is that so? Mr. Bryan, don’t you have anything to say?” Bryan choked and subconsciously wanted to speak up for North, but he was glared at by Mrs. Jordan. In Mrs. Jordan’s mind, this was the best opportunity to suppress North. Mrs. Jordan sighed and deliberately said, “Mrs. Brandy, Bryan is North’s biological father after all. He feels bad for his daughter… Don’t ask any further.” Mrs. Brandy mocked them. “Since he feels guilty, why did you chase her away?” “We couldn’t bear it either, but we have to look at the big picture. North needed
“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
