“Didn’t you hear what North said? She has to be careful of her stepmother’s moods when at home!”Nicholas scoffed and added more fuel to the fire. “Is this the kind of taste you have, Mr. Eiger? You like illegitimate daughters who like setting traps for their sisters?”Melinda’s face turned pale instantly, and she stumbled back.What was going on with this glass bracelet?! That could not be right. This could not be happening. North was setting her up!“Ah! Look!”Before Melinda could think of an explanation, North had already taken a step forward. She pretended to bump into Melinda by accident. In the fracas, she found the real sapphire bracelet and shoved it back into Melinda’s bag. The next instant, the bag plopped to the ground, and the sapphire bracelet fell out.Its deep saturation and sparkling jewel shocked everyone around.“The real bracelet is in Melinda’s bag! Goodness, it’s enough that this illegitimate daughter is so arrogant, but now she’s trying to entrap her sis

Connor’s expression turned stiff. He had thought that Gerald would assign him something important. The next second, he heard Gerald say blandly, “Don’t let Abraham South show up in front of North anymore. He’s a pain.”…Meanwhile, at South Manor, in the banquet hall, Eiger could not help but frown. “What’s going on, Melinda?! How could you accuse North when the bracelet was in your bag?!”Melinda was sobbing furiously. “Eiger, I really don’t know how it happened. It really wasn’t in my bag before. Oh, it was Summer…”A light flashed in Melinda’s eyes. Without even thinking about it, she pushed all the blame onto Summer.“Summer touched my bag too just now. Summer, just say it. Did you steal the bracelet and try to frame North for it?”Summer was taken aback. She did not expect such an accusation to come out of nowhere. Before she could say anything, she saw Melinda’s vicious gaze and shivered.Melinda sobbed out, “How could you do that? And to think I trusted you so much. Tel

North mocked Henry. “Mr. Henry, just say it openly that you’re selling your daughter. Don’t make it sound like you’re doing it for my happiness. Isn’t it better to be more honest in life?”Henry gulped. “You!”Bella gritted out, “Mr. Henry, you would do well to teach your daughter and make her service my son well! And you, North Myers. It’s Shelly’s kindness that makes him interested in used goods like you. You’d better be grateful for it! You’ll be nothing but a dog to the Pierce family!”Henry glared at North hatefully. “Did you hear that? Go home with Mr. Pierce now. That’s how things work. Don’t throw a tantrum!”North said meaningfully, “Mr. Henry, you might as well be forcing me into prostitution.”“There’s no need to say it like that!”Madam Myers abruptly stood up. Her lined face was furious. “You shameful creature. Nothing you say is ever polite!“Eiger dumped you, so you’re used goods! This is all for your own good. I’m telling you now, we’ve already accepted the weddi

The meeting room fell into a dead silence as the shareholders and top executives exchanged looks. None of them knew what to say.There was nothing untrue about what North was saying. All that about stealing someone else’s man, driving the first wife and her daughter to extremes…Linda suddenly covered her mouth and let out an aggrieved cry. “North! Is that what you really think? It’s true when they say it’s difficult to be a stepmother. I’ve always done things for your own good, but you think that I’ve been setting you up. Oh, what have I done wrong?!”Melinda was also still crying. She made it seem as though she was the most innocent and helpless person there. “North, don’t do this. I know that you feel resentful, but you won’t be able to marry into another good family if you don’t marry Mr. Pierce. I’m just being considerate of you…”North said mockingly, “If you’re being considerate of me, then don’t steal my man. You took my fiance from me. Don’t you think it’s a little too l

Melinda was ready to faint. Her tears did not stop falling.Gerald was unbothered as he said, “I thought that I would help the Myers family for your sake, but now I think I’m not worthy to.”Help the Myers family…Henry suddenly realized how much he had inadvertently missed out on!If Gerald helped them, Myers Corporation would not even have to care about those losses!The expressions of the shareholders turned stricken. They looked at Linda and Melinda in displeasure.It was all the fault of these two women and their cunning natures. If it wasn’t for them, Myers Corporation would never have to worry about not having funds. After all, they would be involved with the formidable Deep Pool Corporation!North nodded and suddenly glanced at Sheldon. “I’ll ask Colt later about Mr. Pierce’s background to find out why he has to marry your wife. I wonder if he looks down on you or Deep Pool Corporation?”The Pierce family was horrified. They had lost the haughtiness of before and became
