Everyone fell into stunned silence.

North was stunned. “What did he say?”

Gerald glanced coldly across the audience. After that, he looked down at North. “I asked you to wait for me so that we could come together. Why would you not listen and even throw a tantrum here?”

North was shocked. Gerald’s words confused her. After all, he had explicitly said that he would not bring her to the banquet.

Yvonne was even more shocked than North. Yvonne could barely control her expression as she asked, “Mr. Gerald, did you bring her over? Did you know that she—”

North finally figured out what Gerald was up to. He was supporting her.

Seeing that Jane was put on the spot, North looked away. She ducked her head and said aggrievedly, “They stopped me from entering the banquet because I don’t have an invitation card.”

Gerald’s hands froze. North’s discreet complaint showed that she was angry.

He looked up coolly. “Without an invitation card, huh?”

The surroundings fell dead silent. No

    “Mom, do you have a way to do that?” Georgia was in thought for some time. “Jane, find your grandpa. Then I’ll—” She whispered in Jane’s ear. Jane’s eyes lit up. She ran out happily. “North, not everything will always go your way. I will make you suffer soon!” … Meanwhile, North wrapped one of her arms around Gerald’s as they entered the main hall of the banquet. She kept searching for the ruby brooch. Gerald’s eyes were crinkled with smiles. He smiled pointedly. “Mrs. Howard, you’re quite daring. You even have the galls to barge into the Lane family’s banquet.” North shamelessly accepted his “compliment”. “Thank you.”Gerald smiled lightly. She had decisively turned him down when he first invited her. Clearly, she was not interested in the banquet itself. It all started last night. Gerald recalled North’s attitude completely changing after receiving a message. Then, she had insisted on attending the banquet with him. Gerald said pointedly, “It seems like something

    North’s eyes narrowed. Obviously, Georgia would not be so kind to her. It was clear that the Lane family was up to something. If she just sat there and did nothing, the Lane family would think that she could easily be pushed around. North gave Georgia an innocent smile. “Alright.” A hint of disdainfulness flashed across Georgia’s eyes. “North is truly an idiot.” Georgia took North to the dressing room on the second floor. “North, feel free to choose the clothes here. After you pick the clothes, you can get changed and do your make-up.” North swept a glance across the gowns. She tilted her head as she asked, “That’s all? I don’t like them all. We can just forget about it.” Right after she spoke, she headed out. Georgia’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly pulled North back. “North, how could you just forget about it?!” The next moment, Georgia realized she had been too agitated. She immediately said softly, “We have several gowns over here. Tell me your preference, and I’

    “Shut up! Yeah, it was me who did that, so what?! I can’t wait to see the video of you undressing yourself circulate on the internet! Hold back your smugness. It’s pointless even if you removed the pinhole camera. After all, the camera has a network automation function. The video of you undressing yourself is everywhere now!” North’s expression turned cold. “Network automation?” Jane laughed out loud. “You’re wearing a gown. That means you’ve undressed yourself before the pinhole camera. The lustful men are already looking at your pictures! Hahaha!” North smirked. Luckily, she had been mindful of it and purposely changed her clothes in the restroom. She had deliberately put on the gown in order to provoke Jane to speak out the truth. Just then, the dressing room door snapped shut. Jane screamed, “Come over and seize her!” North dodged a makeup artist’s hand by moving to the side. “Ms. Jane, you’ve stopped putting on a show now, huh?” Jane could not care less about anythin

    North continued. “Jane has added a corrosive agent to the foundation. If I apply it to my face, it will burn my face within a minute. Mrs. Lane, is this a pure coincidence?” Georgia broke out in a cold sweat. She did not expect North to catch Jane adding the drug to the foundation. Georgia would rather die than admit it was their plan. She forced a smile and acted dumb. “North, what are you talking about? Why would there be a corrosive agent in the foundation? Jane has only added some essential oil to it to moisten the foundation. You’re imagining it.” The corners of North’s lips curved upward. “Really? If that’s the case, why does Jane refuse to apply the foundation to her face?” The atmosphere fell dead silent. Georgia forced herself to stay calm. “It’s not that Jane refused to apply the foundation to her face, it’s just that she has a different skin type. Jane has her own makeup artist. She has already put on her makeup. There’s no need for her to apply another layer of

    She moved her fingertips. A sharp, unpleasant female voice echoed in the room.“The camera is automatically connected to the internet, and now the videos of you taking off your clothes are everywhere!”“You’re wearing a gown. That means you’ve undressed yourself before the pinhole camera. The lustful men are already looking at your pictures! Hahaha. No one will date you once your face is disfigured! Gerry is mine!” Everyone looked at Jane in shock.Everyone shuddered at the vile words. She was trying to ruin another woman’s life by placing cameras in the changing room! Georgia’s and Jane’s expressions stiffened, and they were trembling with fear. North had recorded it?!“Ah!” Georgia charged forward like a mad dog, snatched North’s phone, and threw it to the floor. “It’s fake! It’s all fake!” she yelled angrily. “Mrs. Lane, you can smash my phone all you want, but my phone has automatically uploaded a backup of the audio,” North said calmly while she glanced at Georgia’s cr

    David knew there was no saving Jane today, so he took a deep breath and firmly said, “Gerald, the Lane family will account for what happened today. I leave Jane to you. I will not intervene!”“Mr. David, I have no interest in meddling in your family’s business,” said Gerald slowly. “You can handle it however you see fit, as long as the outcome meets my needs.”North was speechless. He wanted him to deal with his daughter in his own way. It was brutal. Sure enough, David’s face darkened, but he still put up with it. He turned to face Georgia and offhandedly commented, “Have you not heard what Gerald said? Get out of here, and take your embarrassing daughter with you!”Georgia gave North a hard glare before leaving with Jane. With a forced smile on his face, David turned around and said, “Ms. North, I heard that you’re interested in that ruby brooch. Why don’t I have someone take you to have a look at it?”Before North could say anything, Gerald calmly replied, “I won’t bother yo

    North was refusing to go public not because she was worried about making things awkward for Eiger, but because she was worried that Ronald South would have a hard time accepting it. After all, he would need some time to digest the fact that his granddaughter-in-law had just turned into his daughter-in-law. North looked around before she suddenly came up with an excuse. With supposed sadness, she hung her head. “Gerald, the Lane family already wants me dead, and we haven’t even announced our wedding. If we do go public, more people will want me dead. I can’t handle it.“So, let’s just keep our marriage a secret for now for my safety’s sake, okay?”Gerald stared at her. Seconds passed. North started sweating bullets under his stare. Suddenly, Gerald turned around and said, “If Jane has learned her lesson, she won’t bother you anymore.”North suddenly thought about something, and she blinked. “Are you really going to let me punish her?”Gerald nodded.North was surprised, but the

    Colt immediately wanted to call North over.Gerald came over to get information about certain things, but the goons from the Howard family had spiked his drink. He was currently affected by a certain unnamed drug. The bar was filled with the Howard family’s lackeys. He could not let them catch on to his dilemma. He had to get rid of these people at once before he could leave. Before that, he could only endure the drug’s effects.But North changes things. She could help Gerald!Gerald’s hair was already drenched in sweat, and his eyes were glazed over. When he heard North’s name, he gulped. “No.”Cold clicked his tongue. “Why not? She’s your wife. It’s natural for her to help you.”With labored breathing, Gerald said, “Sit down.”“... Fine. You’ll just have to endure it.” In resignation, Colt agreed. But the next moment, his expression became stern.He cursed under his breath and said, “Gerald, you might have to go over. Guess who I saw? Henry and Melinda Myers. They’re for

    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

    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

    “Why? Do you think that I’ve forgotten how Paige died?”Giselle never expected that this shameless family would have the audacity to make an issue out of Paige’s death.“You make it sound so simple. Even if Patricia dies today, you would never disregard her last wishes. Is everything you do for the good of the Bracken family?“Still, the only person the Bracken family has ever had to sacrifice was Paige!”Virgil snapped, “Nonsense! I’m Paige’s biological father, how could I…”Giselle sneered. “Stop putting on an act. You didn’t look for your daughter when she was missing. You didn’t feel sorry for your daughter when she returned. You kept asking her to tolerate the adopted daughter. When she was sick, you even stopped her treatment so that she would die and let your adopted daughter marry her husband.“Virgil, I’m sick. I’m not dead yet, and I haven’t lost my memory. If this happens again, I’ll destroy the entire Bracken family!”Giselle looked at the bodyguards she had brought

    The surroundings suddenly fell silent.Virgil found it hard to breathe. “Let go! Are you crazy?!”“I’m asking you a question. Where is Paige buried? Tell me!”Virgil’s brain was deprived of oxygen. Without thinking, he roared, “How would I know? Let go, you crazy woman!”Patricia screamed, “Madam Giselle, what are you doing? Let go of him. Do you want Dad to die?”Gerald’s second uncle also shouted, “Madam Giselle, why are you doing this to us? Don’t treat your husband like this!”“You don’t know? You don’t know at all, do you?” Giselle ignored everyone. She looked unremorseful. She scoffed.“You claim to be severely depressed about your daughter’s death,” Giselle retorted. “Despite that, you actually don’t know where your daughter’s grave is!”As soon as she finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.When Virgil realized what he had just said, his face turned pale and he stopped screaming. He trembled as he spoke to Giselle hatefully. “You did this on purpose…”That wa

    Mike said weakly, “North, we paid our respects to my mother before we went out today. We didn’t say anything because we were afraid that Grandpa wouldn’t be able to accept it.”As expected, Virgil clutched his chest and looked like he was about to faint.Patricia cried out, “Gerald, are you satisfied now that your grandfather is trembling in anger? We’ve kept it a secret for so many years. Despite that…”Everyone sighed. So, that was how it was.It was indeed Ms. Paige’s death anniversary today. However, the old man had fallen into a state of depression from the intense guilt. He then mistakenly thought that his daughter had passed away in May.As his family, Patricia and Mike could not bear to make the old man feel more guilty. Thus, they maintained the facade.In fact, they would pay their respects to Paige every year.This made sense. After all, Virgil was old and could not stand such harsh emotions.The people from the Bracken family jumped on this chance to scold Gerald. “

    Everyone was dumbfounded. North was really bold!North blinked. “What’s wrong, Mr. Virgil? Why are you so angry? Did I say something wrong?”“What nonsense! Paige is my daughter! How could I intentionally let her die?!”North widened her eyes. “I didn’t say that you intentionally let her die! It’s just that the Bracken family didn’t like her and looked down on her. The medical staff didn’t care about her either. In the end, they didn’t even treat her and let her die.“I know. It’s not your fault. After all, you were so busy. How could you have the time to take care of a daughter you don’t love?”Virgil clutched his chest. “What nonsense…! Shut up!”“North!” Patricia screamed. “Gerald, are you just going to watch her anger your grandfather? Your grandfather’s health isn’t good…”“What did I say wrong?”North sighed. “Look at what Mr. Virgil said. Ms. Paige passed away at the end of May, so why didn’t he treat her for two whole months from the end of March to the end of May?“Th

    Mike knew that he had fallen into North’s trap and was speechless!He was so anxious that his expression changed. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and huge beads of sweat dripped down. “Um… I…”“Mike!” Patricia saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly interrupted Mike and pulled him behind her.Then, she took a deep breath and pretended to be helpless and upset.“Gerald, what nonsense are you talking about?! We’re family. If you have anything you’re upset about, just tell me. There’s no need to cause trouble at the banquet and make an issue out of Paige’s death anniversary!“We’re all Paige’s family, and Dad is also Paige’s biological father. How can we not know when her death anniversary is?“Paige’s death anniversary is at the end of May. It’s not today at all. You… You’re too much!”Virgil looked aggrieved. He nodded and said, “That’s right. Paige’s death anniversary is in May. Gerald, I know you don’t want to give up her inheritance. Moreover, I didn’t fo

    Everyone’s eyes fell on Gerald.Gerald looked up slowly and said calmly, “Ms. Patricia, why did you choose today to hold a banquet for Mike?”“It doesn’t matter what day I chose!” Patricia roared.“So, you did choose the date.”Gerald looked down at Patricia from above. His cold gaze made Patricia suddenly feel suffocated.Her “son” had a murderous look in his eyes. “Any other day would have been fine, but not today.”Patricia hated the look in Gerald’s eyes the most. Why was he so arrogant? Why was he looking down on her? Why was he like that b*tch?She screamed, “Gerald, I’m your mother! Mike is your brother! It’s fine if you don’t love me, but you keep finding fault with me. What right do you have—”“Today is the anniversary of Paige’s death.”Gerald interrupted her.Patricia’s face turned pale, and the words that she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. The scene instantly fell silent.What did Gerald say? What day was it today?Today was the anniversary of Paige’s d

    Patricia felt a lump in her throat. “You…”“Connor, come out.” North interrupted her.Then, a group of people dressed in black walked out of nowhere and played mournful music. Connor walked in the middle and placed a memorial tablet on the table.Everyone looked at the memorial tablet curiously, wanting to know whose memorial tablet it was. When everyone saw the name “Paige”, they instantly fell silent.North and Gerald paid their respects. Then, they placed the bouquets beside the memorial tablet.Their actions stunned everyone.Had they come to pay respects to Paige?Patricia was trembling. She stared fixedly at Paige’s name on the memorial tablet. She clenched her fists.Paige!Gerald had paid his respects to Paige at a banquet for Mike. Was he crazy?! She was so unlucky! Paige was already dead, but she was still the center of attention at Mike’s banquet!After paying her respects, North turned around. “What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to pay your respects?”
