Gerald smiled, and his gaze darkened. He hid away the coldness in his eyes, which turned his smile warm.“I’m not lying to you. I really don’t care about the Bracken family. I’m happy as long as a certain someone favors me.”North was taken aback for a second. “...Who?”Gerald’s tone was light as he said, “Mrs. Howard, are you willing to always favor me?”North’s heart was racing wildly.Gerald’s chiseled features were seared in North’s vision. She opened her mouth and said, “I…”A loud noise interrupted North’s words. Hiding in a corner, Nathan was utterly stunned. He felt like he had been struck by lightning.Was… Was this Gerald? What was he saying? Nathan must have heard it all wrong!Nathan looked awkward. Just as he was thinking of sneaking away, he knocked his head against the wall. With a crash, he fell to the ground.He fidgeted a bit. All he wanted to do was to escape as far away as possible.North instinctively turned around. Meanwhile, Gerald frowned slightly. “

“Are you sure that I claimed credit for Melinda’s good deed?” North ruffled her hair as she interrupted. “Aren’t you afraid that saying that will haunt you one day, Dad?”Henry’s whole body went rigid. His eyes widened as he turned around in disbelief. “What are you doing here?!”Why did North come here?! She had definitely not been told about this banquet. How dare she just show up? This event was Melinda’s chance to shine, so North could not be allowed to cause trouble here!Henry sounded righteous as he said, “I am your father. Would I tell such lies? North, you must admit it when you do something wrong. You should not feel bad about owning up to it!”North chuckled. “Oh? Then may I ask where Melinda saved Eiger? How badly hurt was Eiger at the time? What did the kidnapper say in the end? How much money did they ask from the South family?“Do you still remember these details, Melinda?”Melinda’s face turned pale. “North…”“What’s the problem with Melinda not being able to rem

Eiger was furious when he heard Nathan call Ronald by his first name. “How dare you?! What makes you think you can call Grandpa by his name?!”“Aren’t names for calling?” Nathan scratched his head. “Could it be that the names of the members of the South family can’t be used? How irrational.”Eiger was outraged. “You—”“Enough, Eiger.” Ronald did not seem upset at all. “Let me introduce you to each other. This is Gerald’s little brother, Mr. Nathan Howard.”North could clearly see Eiger’s breath get stuck in his throat and nearly choke him to death.Ronald seemed to be thinking of something. He put on a smile and said, “Have a seat, North. Since you’re here, you’re a guest. I didn’t send you an invitation because…”“Because Eiger owes me. How could it be proper for the South family to invite me to a banquet for him and his mistress?” North did not hold back at all. She could tell that Ronald could not let her go. And yet, he also could not let Melinda go.That was why he was play

Melinda continued, “You’re not that person because she has already returned!”Melinda got even more agitated the more she thought about it. “You won’t be able to guess who that woman is. North, you’re done for!”North’s expression did not change. Calmly, she said, “Did you look for me just to tell me that?”“Of course not!” A vicious light flashed across Melinda’s eyes. “North, Mr. South loved you the most in the past and did not care for me. But he’s given up on you. What makes you think you can compete against me?!”North was surprised. “Compete against you? In what? For Eiger?”Melinda sounded matter-of-fact. “Once Mr. Gerald abandons you, you’ll definitely come back and try to steal Eiger from me. I suggest you give up! And the inheritance is mine! Don’t you even think about it!”North eyed her and said, “Shouldn’t you get your mom to have you checked? Being intellectually disabled is a condition that should be treated.”Though Melinda was practically useless, she was quite

Everyone gulped at that. Although Nathan was not being very polite, he was right. There was no need for someone of his stature to go against Linda.Linda’s expression turned rigid. She bit her lip angrily. “Henry, maybe Mr. Nathan doesn’t know that I saw North in private.”Henry felt a wave of awkwardness. He seemed offended at being challenged considering he was the person who called the shots in a wealthy family.“Mr. Nathan, you don’t have to help this wretch get out of it! North, you have to make it up to Linda today or I will disown you!”“When have you ever thought of me as your daughter, anyway?” North sounded dejected. “All these years, you believe anything Mrs. Myers says. You never believe me at all. If she says I’m incompetent, you believe her. If she says I’m disobedient, you chase me out of the house.”A tired look flitted across her face, which made everyone lament the situation.“Today, you’re saying that I hurt Mrs. Myer’s hand but can’t provide any proof.
