The air seemed to freeze, and the suggestive atmosphere disappeared completely once she asked the question.Gerald’s gaze darkened. His smile did not reach his eyes, but it was still gentle and warm.“Why? Are you curious about my relation to them?” he asked.North blinked coyly. “A little.”Gerald narrowed his eyes. He knew North only married him because she thought he was the South family heir, and he also knew that she had married the wrong guy.But as far as he was concerned, there was no going back once you had made a mistake. If you were wrong, you were wrong for life.What did Roque say to North to rouse her suspicions?Gerald’s gaze shifted slightly. “There’s no need to be curious. I don’t value the South family at all, so I never show up at their parties. Are you satisfied with that explanation, Mrs. Howard?”North clicked her tongue. Roque did say that the South heir did not want any of the family’s companies, so that matched up with Gerald’s explanation.Had she bee

Patricia felt a lump in her throat.Gerald paused for a second before continuing, “It seems that you enjoy raising someone else’s son, Ms. Patricia. What a shame that I’m not a fan.”“What insolence!” Patricia reacted like her sore spot had been touched on. Finally, she yelled while trembling in anger, “Gerald Howard, I am your mother! How can you say that?!”Gerald was fiddling with a fruit knife as he said casually, “Ms. Patricia, you know very well the kind of useless trash you raised. You might be happy playing house with him, but I have no patience to spend time with a fool as a form of charity.”“You…” Patricia’s face was red from rage. She threatened him loudly. “Whatever it is, you must give that piece of land in Southvale to your brother. I’ll make you regret it if you don’t!”Gerald replied languidly, “I’m not the only one who calls the shots when it comes to that land. If I let it go now, how do you expect me to explain things to the shareholders, Ms. Patricia?”Patric

Everyone was taken aback as they instinctively looked at North.The wedding gown that North was wearing was the same dress that Thomas had promised to Melinda, Starshine.Lilac immediately reacted. She roared, “Don’t you have any shame? Do you get a kick out of stealing Melinda’s things all the time?”North looked up calmly. She laughed as she said, “It’s Melinda’s?”Fiona was annoyed. “Of course, it’s Melinda’s. You don’t know this, but this is Mr. Harlow’s apprentice, Mr. Thomas Mitchell! He’s Melinda’s friend, and he promised to give this dress to her!”Thomas said unhappily, “Miss North, I can ignore what you’ve done if you take the dress off now. But you’ll be done for when my master comes.”Melinda bit her lip and said, pained, “North, I can give you whatever you want at home, but this gown is a gift from Mr. Mitchell. I can’t give it to you without his permission. Can you do me this favor?“I know you’ve never seen such a beautiful wedding gown, but you can’t steal it. Pe

My princess…? North’s face flushed. The wealthy ladies there all held their breaths. They were both jealous and in awe of Miss Myers.Roque was going to give this wedding gown to her. Gerald had personally invited him over and even called her “princess”! How dreamy!However, there were two women named Myers here. Was it North or Melinda that Gerald meant?Suddenly, Fiona’s eyes widened. She turned around in astonishment and cried out excitedly, “I know what’s going on!“Melinda! It was Eiger. He must have reserved the dress. He said that everything had been prepared. This must be the surprise he’s giving you!”North lifted her eyebrows.Lilac also came back to herself. She was joyful as she said, “That’s right, Eiger knows Roque. He must have arranged all this!”Everyone was taken aback. Could this dress belong to Melinda?Frostlight was much more exclusive than Starshine!“Oh, I’m so jealous. Frostlight is Roque Harlow’s greatest masterpiece. I wonder how amazing it would l

A shiver ran down Lilac’s spine. That was indeed what she thought, but she did not dare say it out loud!“I-I didn’t… Melinda, help me!”Melinda sounded aggrieved as she said, “Don’t be like that, Mr. Gerald. Lilac is only thinking of North…”Gerald chuckled for a moment before saying, “Thinking of North? Melinda, you keep saying that you do so much for your sister, but you always put her on the spot.“You say you’re considerate of her, but you accuse her of stealing and of taking your wedding gown.“You say you’re considerate of her, but you keep implying that she seduces men. You also lambast her for not cherishing herself.”Gerald did not hold back. “Is this how you’re considerate of your sister? Have you forgotten the lesson from a few days ago?”North blinked. She suddenly felt that defending her made Gerald look… handsome beyond compare.It was like there was a halo around him.It seemed like… North had fallen for him a little.Melinda could feel everyone’s gazes on her
