All Chapters of Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Up: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

At 10 p.m., North steeled herself and knocked on Gerald’s study room door.The next moment, she heard his cool voice. “Come in.” North served him a glass of milk. “Mr. Gerald, Steward asked me to serve you this.” Gerald eyed the glass of milk and asked pointedly, “Mrs. Howard, have you heard of this phrase?” North was taken aback. She subconsciously asked, “What?” “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” North’s cheeks turned red. “What on earth are you talking about?! I’m just showing concern!” Gerald smiled wordlessly. North felt her skin crawl. Despite this, she put that thought away and shamelessly asked, “You said you could bring me to the banquet. Does that still stand?” Gerald smiled lightly. “I remember you turning me down.” North looked down with reddening cheeks. “I’ve reconsidered. I shouldn’t let you handle the situation alone. What happens if the Lane family pulls another dirty trick and forces you to marry Jane? I should go with you.” There was a long

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

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’

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

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
