No one dared to speak.Mike was the beloved son of the Howard family, and North was Gerald’s wife. It would do no good to get caught in the crossfire if they fought.Mike thought that North was afraid. He took a step forward and thought that he was very imposing. “What else do you have to say? Don’t you feel ashamed at all when you see your senior?!”“Ashamed?”North chuckled and looked at Heath meaningfully.“I’m a little curious. You’re twenty years my senior, right? What kind of skills do you have?”Heath and Mike looked at each other and cleared their throats. They could not hide the pride in their eyes.“Since you’re curious, I’ll tell you.“I won the Excellence Award at the fifth Eisen Design Competition.”North looked confused.Heath saw that North did not say anything and said smugly, “It seems that you still don’t know how significant this is. It’s okay. As your senior, I’ll explain.“The Eisen Design Competition is a worldwide design competition. It tests the overa
What a joke!Heath’s eyes were filled with unconcealed contempt. Without thinking, he lectured her.“Ms. North, you have to at least win an award. I don’t expect you to win a world-class award. But at least a country-level award…”“I don’t have a real world-class award.” North nodded and interrupted him.Heath thought to himself that North was still so arrogant even without an award. She was certainly full of herself!“However, I’ve been a judge in world-class competitions, including the fifth Eisen Design Competition.”North pondered for a while. “Although I don’t know what’s to be proud of for winning the consolation prize, I remember that… you didn’t seem to be on the consolation prize list that year, right, Mr. Heath?”Everyone fell silent.Although North’s tone was uncertain, everyone could hear the mockery in her words.Heath was not on the consolation prize list. So, how did he get the consolation prize?! This was clearly telling everyone that Heath bought the award!H
Who was Star? Why were these people so protective of North?!North smiled gently. “Don’t be angry. Mike has been sheltered by the Howard family. He doesn’t know much about these things.”The deputy head sneered in disgust. “I don’t know what the Howard family is thinking. Aren’t they afraid of going bankrupt if they let a piece of trash inherit the family business?”Mike’s face was red with anger. He clenched his fists and only spat out a few words after a long while.“Ha! I didn’t expect you to be so… outstanding, North.”North nodded. “It’s good that you know now.”She turned to look at Heath and asked doubtfully, “So, why aren’t you leaving?”Mike was dumbstruck.He was furious, but he was the one who said that the most experienced person should have this position!“Alright, then I hope that you can continue to be arrogant, North! Let’s go!”Heath followed Mike out unwillingly. He originally thought that the position as the head of the design department of Deep Pool Corpor
Perhaps Gerald would not think much of it now.But when Mike became the head of the Bracken family in the future, would Gerald hate North?After all, all of this was originally his, but he gave it up for her…Patricia wanted the children of the two women she hated the most to kill each other!At the thought of this, Patricia continued, “Gerald, I’m doing this for your own good. This way, you can have a place in the Howard and Bracken families. When the time comes, we will hold a grand banquet at Glass Manor. As long as you tell everyone at the banquet…”“Okay.” Before Patricia could finish, Gerald nodded lightly.“That you personally admitted that you voluntarily gave up…” Patricia suddenly paused. “Wait, what did you say?!”“Isn’t Grandma going to hold a banquet at Glass Manor?” Gerald asked calmly. “I agree.”Patricia did not expect Gerald to agree so easily!Glass Manor was Paige’s most valuable asset left to Gerald, but Gerald was actually willing to give it up?Patricia
Gerald placed his palm on Giselle’s hand and said, “I will take care of Paige’s things well. Whether it’s Glass Manor or anything else, Patricia and Mike can forget about getting a single cent from her.”How could Giselle not want to agree? “But it will be very difficult for you.”“Difficult?” Gerald sneered. “No, it’s the Bracken family that’s difficult.”“Gerald…” With tears in her eyes, Giselle suddenly asked a shocking question. “Actually, you’re Paige’s son, right?”All these years, no one knew what Patricia had done. Giselle had done countless paternity tests in private, but Gerald had nothing to do with Paige.However, she had a feeling that Patricia knew very well that Gerald was Paige’s child.That was why the Howard family and the Bracken family were targeting him like this.Giselle suddenly fell into great sorrow. She had not been able to protect her daughter back then, and now, she could not even protect her daughter’s child.She could not even prove Gerald’s identi
However, North did not think so. “This should be a coincidence.”Charlotte frowned. “Coincidence? Even if it was a coincidence at first, it’s definitely disgusting to arrange it on this day after finding out.”Unexpectedly, North shook her head and said softly, “Patricia is a smart person. If she wants Mike to get everything from Paige, she won’t leave any evidence behind.“But what do you think others will think if we publicly tear up Paige’s will on the anniversary of her death?”Charlotte fell silent.What would others think? Between Paige and Patricia, one was the real daughter, while one was the adopted daughter. One was the first wife, and the other was the mistress.Their identities were naturally at odds.Paige was dead. However, Patricia was still alive. If Patricia still tore up Paige’s will on the anniversary of her death, in the eyes of others, it would prove she was just an ungrateful adopted daughter.If Patricia was smarter, she would definitely not have chosen t
“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
