Chapter 291

The place went silent after North said those words.Patricia’s face went from red to white as terror gripped her.She seemed to expend a lot of effort before she managed to regain control of her expression.“Y-You’re spouting nonsense, North! Gerald, how can you bear to watch her come between us?!”The look in Gerald’s eyes never wavered. “But I think that North’s completely right.”Patricia instinctively raised her voice to hide her guilt. “I’m only biased toward Mike because I watched him grow up! Humans are creatures of emotion. You should understand that, right, Gerald?”There was a mocking look in North’s eyes.Gerald’s gaze swept over Patricia. “Since you’re so sure I’m your biological son, what’s wrong with doing a maternity test?”North blinked. “That’s right. These days, you won’t even need a blood sample to do a test like that. You just need a strand of hair. Are you even scared of that, Ms. Patricia?”“It’s not that I’m scared!”Patricia’s face was pale as she trie

Chapter 292

Could it be that Patricia had married someone with the last name Howard? Then Gerald and the South family…“Mrs. Howard, if you’re curious, I can explain it to you.” Gerald was not much bothered by this. “Shall we head home now?”When she saw how calm Gerald was, North’s panicked heart calmed down for some reason. She gulped and said, “Okay… L-Let’s go home.”…Half an hour later, at Royal Sights Residences, when Steward saw them arrive, he rushed up and said softly, “Sir, Mr. South’s assistant has been waiting for a long time.”North was astonished. Ronald’s assistant?A flash shot through Gerald’s eyes. “I’m going to handle a small matter. Why don’t you go upstairs first?”Coincidentally, North’s phone started ringing. She did not want to let the South family know that she had married Gerald for the time being, so she nodded. She headed upstairs to answer the call.Once North left, Gerald’s expression darkened. “Is there a problem?”The assistant said respectfully, “Mr. Gera

Chapter 293

“Sir, Ms. Sharon is calling. She said she has two tickets to Pete Reuben’s art exhibition. She wants to gift them to you and the madam as a token of apology.”Connor did not understand how the Lane family dared to call Gerald. Alas, he was only an assistant, so he had no choice but to pass on this message.Gerald’s eyes narrowed. “Sharon Lane?”He had not heard that name ever since Giselle’s birthday banquet.Pete Reuben’s art exhibition…Gerald let out a laugh. “Reject her.”Connor knew that Gerald would answer this way. Others may not know this, but Connor knew very well that Gerald had connections with Pete. As such, he did not need Sharon’s tickets if he wanted to visit the exhibition.The smile on Sharon’s face became unnatural when she received news of the rejection. “Is that so… Alright, I understand.”After she said that, she hung up and let out a helpless sigh. Sharon’s cousin asked Sharon from next to her, “What is it, Sharon? Does North not want to go?”The two we

Chapter 294

North had gotten a call from Nicholas just now while she had been upstairs. Nicholas said that Pete had come to Peacevale and wanted to have a meal with her.North was very excited as she waited outside the mall.Not long afterward, someone with an otherworldly presence showed up in her line of sight. He was walking over with Nicholas next to him.North excitedly jogged over. “Uncle Pete!”Pete was in his early forties. Though there were signs of age on his face, he carried himself with an easy confidence. He also had an innate pride that spoke of someone cultured. When he saw North coming, he nodded languidly. “Always so impetuous.”North was still very excited. “How come you’re in Peacevale in person?”A hint of bitterness flashed in Nicholas’s eyes.Pete sneaked a peek behind North. He smiled as he said, “I heard you got married. Where’s your husband? Why didn’t he come?”North was stunned for a moment. She had not seen Pete in ages. Why did he not ask after her? Why was he

Chapter 295

Veronica got into a roll the more she talked. “North doesn’t even know who Pete Reuben is. Sharon, even if you’re kind, you shouldn’t make friends with someone like that! She’s just a country bumpkin. She doesn’t deserve to be your friend!”Veronica raised her voice, and many people in the vicinity looked over. These people could not help but feel shocked. How could someone not know who Pete Reuben was?! It was true that North was a country bumpkin. She could not even change her poor taste even after returning to elite society.Sharon waited for Veronica to finish bashing North before shaking her head in a show of fake niceness. “Veronica, stop saying that. If other people overhear, they might think we’re talking about North behind her back. That’s not nice…”“But I’m right! Why can’t I say it?! She’s not like you, Sharon. You’re accomplished and from a scholarly family. North can’t compare with you!”Pet’s eyebrows furrowed. Who were these two women? They seemed absolutely mean

Chapter 296

Veronica could not control herself. She said in a strange tone, “Sharon, she earned this money by sleeping around. It would be a waste if she doesn’t get to buy the clothes.”North turned around coldly. Sharon sounded helpless as she said, “I was wrong last time. I’ve been trying to find the opportunity to make it up to you. Since you rejected the tickets to Pete Reuben’s art exhibition, how about I pay your shopping bill today? It will be a token of apology.“As for this gentleman…”Sharon bit her lip. She said significantly, “You’re a married woman, after all. You shouldn’t act too close with this man. 150,000 dollars isn’t a small amount. I’m worried that your reputation will be tarnished if this gets out.”North scoffed. Sharon was indeed a formidable opponent. She was able to twist the truth with just a few words and make it sound like a done deal that she was having an extramarital affair.Veronica told the salesperson delightedly, “Did you hear that? Put this bill on the

Chapter 297

North blinked. She was abruptly taken aback.When had Gerald gotten here…?Had Gerald seen the way she fought back against Sharon and Veronica?Veronica looked annoyed at being interrupted. Curses started spilling out of her mouth. “Who do you think you are to tell me off for bad upbringing? Do you know who I am?!”Gerald looked up absentmindedly. His gaze was icy.Veronica was shocked by the sight. However, she knew she could not embarrass herself in front of North. She barreled on. “North, this isn’t another of the men you’ve slept with, is he? You’re simply…”“Veronica!” Sharon quickly spoke up to cut Veronica off. She clenched her teeth and put on a warm smile. “I didn’t know you were here too, Gerald.”Gerald looked very intimidating. Sharon’s face was going pale when he had not even spared her a single look.When Veronica heard the name Gerald, she finally realized who this man was. In an instant, she was terrified. “M-Mr. Gerald?!”She was done for… She had actually los

Chapter 298

Veronica was shaking all over, and the terror made her stutter. “That’s right. This man spent 150,000 dollars on North. Who else could he be but her sugar daddy…?”“It looks like the Lane family doesn’t know how to raise its kids right. But what can one expect when the older generation has such poor character as well?” Gerald interrupted her. Veronica did not understand. She hurried to point out, “Mr. Gerald, I’m talking about North…”“It’s exactly because the older generation of the Lane family enjoys being sugar daddies to young women so much that you thought North and her uncle have such a relationship, Miss Lane. It never occurred to you that he could be her uncle, only her sugar daddy.”Gerald spoke casually. “This means that the whole Lane family is so ludicrous that you were affected by this worldview. That’s why you thought everyone is like the elders in your family, Miss Lane.”There was no way Veronica could misunderstand now.Why did Sharon and Veronica think that thi

Chapter 299

North did not understand what Pete meant.Pete was at a loss. He wanted to say something more, but Gerald had already walked over. “The Lane family is in a little trouble. Sharon won’t have the time to make trouble for you anymore.”North rolled her eyes to herself.She could handle a pretentious b*tch like Sharon. She would knock every one of them down no matter how many came at her.However, North said aggrievedly, “Okay then. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do if Miss Sharon comes and causes me trouble. They were both so scary!”Pete suddenly started coughing violently.He wanted to say something to move on from this discussion, but Gerald unexpectedly gave a warm laugh. “Don’t worry. Next time someone bullies you, you can get some security guards to beat them up. I own this mall, so they will all take your orders.”Pete thought to himself, “It’s happening again. He believes everything North says. Isn’t this man foolish?”Before Pete could even finish his thought, North

Chapter 300

Gerald paused for a moment before letting out an unamused laugh.“Mr. Reuben, you underestimate North.”How could North not be special?Plainly speaking, North was the most eye-catching of the wealthy young women in Peacevale. It was just that typical people could not see how she shined. Gerald replied casually, “I chose her because of fate, Mr. Reuben. She’s great.”Pete’s eye twitched. “Is that so? Is it because of fate? Here I thought someone like you would choose North because you knew her from before, Mr. Gerald.”Pete was surreptitiously testing Gerald to see whether he was that man. Four years ago, North had been covered in blood while with that man. If it was Gerald…“Know her?” A shimmer flitted past Gerald’s eyes. “Well, I do have some recollection of her. Five years ago, Starlight hacked Deep Pool Corporation’s mainframe. I remember that very distinctly.”Pete was speechless. He never anticipated that his testing of Gerald would result in him getting some dirt on No
