Besides, the South family was no better than the Howard or Bracken families. Soon, North and Gerald arrived at the banquet hall. All of the members of the Bracken family managed to attend, so the scene was extremely lively.North was about to find a quiet corner to sit in when suddenly…“Gerald, how could you ignore me when I’m right here? Have you gone blind?” came a shrill woman’s voice. It made Gerald’s gaze darken.Patricia rushed forward in a huff in her high heels. “What have you said to Madam Bracken? How could you deny your brother from attending this birthday banquet?! It’s bad enough that you refuse to give him the land in Southvale. How can you be so petty about the banquet too? You ungrateful beast!”The people nearby all looked over at them.North’s expression turned stormy. Who was this woman? How dare she start scolding Gerald immediately upon approaching them? And since when had Gerald gotten a brother?Gerald did not take this seriously. “I already said not to

Gerald did not care at all what others said about him. It did not matter if they said he was ruthless or heartless. In any case, the Bracken family had wronged him. As such, he naturally would not let them off.However, he was afraid that North would think of him negatively.North was stunned for a second. Then, she quickly shook her head. Indeed, she hated illegitimate offspring. But, that was only limited to the sort who were like Melinda.“You could not have chosen your birth, but you can always choose how to live your life. Gerald, you’re a great person. You don’t need to care about what people say about you.”Gerald’s footsteps came to a halt.In all these years, North was the second person to say that to him.As they strolled in the back garden, North heard some people having a fight not far away.“Ms. Patricia has shot herself in the foot. Gerald Howard… Is that someone she can just tell off?”“Does it matter? No matter what, Patricia is Virgil Bracken’s most preciou

Cynthia gulped. That was not what she had meant at all!Giselle could tell at a glance what Cynthia was up to. “Since you think no one welcomes you here, why don’t you get lost? This is my birthday banquet, not somewhere you can play the victim!”Cynthia felt angry and wronged. Why was this old coot so annoying?! She had not wanted to attend this banquet…That was right, this was her birthday banquet! Cynthia’s eyes sparkled as she suddenly thought of something. “North, today is Grandma’s seventieth birthday. Grandma adores you. I wonder what you brought for her as a gift?”North raised an eyebrow. Cynthia had really not given up.“Why aren’t you speaking, North? Could it be that you didn’t even prepare Grandma a gift?” Cynthia intentionally faked confusion. “But Grandma is always so thoughtful of you. Wouldn’t it be rude if you didn’t even give her a present?”After she said that, everyone looked over at North in curiosity.That was right. It would be rude for someone in North’

One of the other elite ladies said to garner favor, “Eleanor, you can’t say that. If Ms. North really cared about Madam Bracken, she would never give her a fake. When it comes down to it, she doesn’t respect Madam Bracken at all!“See, Madam Bracken? She’s only an outsider. She will never treat you as well as Cynthia does!”The more inferior North was made to seem, the more Cynthia appeared to care for Giselle.Gerald’s eyes narrowed as he spun his phone in his hand. He had not intended to intervene in this, but now, he was going against his word.Although he knew very well that North could handle this herself, he could not stand watching his wife being bullied.If this matter was not dealt with once and for all, the same thing would only happen again and again. And if that was the case…Gerald glanced down at his phone and dialed a number.At the same time, Andrew ordered in disgust, “Come and take this fake away. Don’t let it sully Madam Bracken’s eyes! Ms. North, the Bracken

Cynthia’s mind suddenly went blank. This was impossible. Absolutely impossible!If North was someone Pete knew, then what would become of Cynthia? She would be a joke!Pete faked ignorance and slowly said, “Mr. Gerald, why has it suddenly gone quiet over there? Did I say something wrong?”Gerald slowly smiled as he waited for Pete’s next words.As expected, Pete told everyone in a very natural yet sheepish tone who he meant.“Or perhaps she’s offended Madam Bracken? North is a little willful. I’ll need to trouble you to look out for her, Mr. Gerald.”…North!That name made Cynthia go deathly pale. She swayed violently, and it looked like she would fall at any second.Eleanor’s and Daniel’s faces were as white as a sheet. They were filled with terror.They were done for. If North was someone Pete knew, then her painting had to be real. In that case…“Uncle Pete,” North suddenly went forward and said dejectedly toward the phone. “I’ve brought the birthday present, and Madam B
