North exclaimed in surprise.It turned out that Gerald could be sarcastic too!Gerald did not give Patricia any time to react. He was just short of chasing the entire Bracken family out.While the Bracken family was leaving, Gerald heard Mike grumble, “Mom… If you knew this was going to happen, why didn’t you adjust your act earlier!”Patricia was furious. “I did all of this for you. How could you fall for Gerald’s tricks?!”“But Gerald was right. They suspect that I’m not Paige’s son because of you!”…Giselle’s smile became more and more sarcastic. When the Bracken family disappeared, he said, “Accompany me pay respects to Paige. Also, get someone to clean Glass Manor inside and out.”He wanted to get rid of the bad vibes the Bracken family had brought in.…A few days later, when they returned to Royal Sights Residences, the Bracken family actually stopped causing trouble.North was about to graduate, and she had one final exam. She saw the class group chat exchanging adva
He moved his wrists and frowned.Did North sleep for the entire day? Was she disoriented?North sat by the bed with nothing to do. She watched as time passed. Strange, why wasn’t she awake yet? Was she that sleepy? Could it be that the advanced exam questions were too difficult and she did not want to wake up?North could not help but think about the questions. Hmm… they did not seem very difficult. She had thought of a solution!Indeed, people had endless potential when they were dreaming. They could even come up with answers to such difficult questions!North was afraid that she would forget and wanted to wake up quickly, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not wake up. She closed her eyes and opened them again, but she was still in the room.North frowned and muttered to herself, “What’s going on…?”Gerald looked at her silently.He also wanted to ask what was going on.“North, do you need my help?”North hesitated. Even though it was a dream, she was still a littl
“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
No, that was impossible. She had clearly heard Eiger call Gerald his uncle before. Oh yes. Eiger had once mentioned that his uncle had a ruby bracelet on his bed. North would know whether Gerald was him if she checked it. North immediately went to the master bedroom and opened the door. The soft carpet absorbed the sound of her footsteps, and she went straight to the bed, where she started groping around in the dark.At that moment, she accidentally touched something. It was warm and thin, and she felt hot puffs of air landing on her hand. She could even smell the unique smell of a man. North had just touched Gerald’s mouth!Shocked, she nearly screamed. Didn’t he say that he was not coming back?!But she gritted her teeth and continued looking. She cast her eyes on the head of the bed. At that moment, due to her not standing properly, she slipped. Despite North trying to catch herself, their lips were swiftly getting closer to each other…Gerald opened his eyes. Sinc
What a joke. The engagement gift was something her mother had left for her. Why should she give it to Melinda?!North copied the proof she found into her phone and left. She had been an idiot in the past and let Eiger’s words blind her to the truth. She had thought that he was the man with whom she could spend the rest of her life. Since they insisted on asking for trouble, she was not going to play nice!Gerald stared at North and let out a light huff. One minute later, Connor came in. “Mr. Gerald, there’s a minor situation at the Howard family. The madam has asked you to go to the hospital.”Gerald’s gaze turned stormy and dangerous. Then, he remembered something and chuckled. “Sure. Let’s go.”…In the hospital, a feeble Melinda lay in Eiger’s arms while looking worried. “Eiger, are you really going to cancel your engagement with my sister? If so, I should go and apologize to her. After all, you’re doing this because of me.”Eiger frowned. “Me canceling the engagement
