In her heart, North really did not want to know the answer to this question. Before Gerald could respond, she pushed him again to speed outside.Gerald’s brows knitted together. He pulled her back and chained her in his embrace. “Mrs. Howard, I haven’t even answered you, so why are you running away?”North felt frustrated. “I don’t want to hear it.”Gerald caressed the back of her neck. “If she doesn’t ask for her final favor, I will give her money. After that, I will never interact with her again. Alright?”“Would it matter if I said it’s not alright? Wouldn’t you think I’m unreasonable if I don’t allow you to repay your debt? But I just can’t stand her. You can’t be with me if you have any relation with her!”North felt that she was being very irrational. “You go settle your life debt. We’ll talk once that’s done.”After saying that, she made to walk outside again.Gerald looked at North’s mouth, which kept saying things that did not reflect what she felt. He suddenly leaned d

North blinked. “How am I supposed to boast?”Ivan said meaningfully, “I’ll take you somewhere tomorrow. Just do as I tell you. After all, you are Gerald’s wife. You have the position and clout to boast, so you shouldn’t waste it. Otherwise, other women will take this as an opportunity to squeeze their way in.”North choked. “I’m not that childish.”“Then, do you want to let Reina get one up on you and steal your husband?”North suddenly found an excuse to act haughty. Ivan was right that she could not allow Reina to have any opportunity to steal her husband. It was not that North much cared about Gerald; it was that she did not want to see Reina getting her way.That was why it should be alright to boast a little about how she was Gerald’s wife. Right?…Around noon the next day, Ivan personally drove over to the entrance of a hotel.North looked up and was confused to see that they were at the Regius. “Why are we here?”Ivan coughed. “If Reina can go in and out of Deep Pool

Reina said gently, “Sandra is right, North. You can order anything you like. We haven’t seen each other in four years, so we should spend some time catching up. Don’t worry about the money.”Ivan was about to say, “North owns the Regius. Does she need you to buy her a meal?” However, he kept quiet. He watched as North actually took a menu and started to look through it intently.North was certainly not scanning through the menu so that she could order. Since someone was offering herself up to be shamed, then North would have to humor her.“If that’s the case, I won’t hold back, Reina.”North ordered a few dishes. “This one, this one, and this soup. And also bring this red wine.” In no time, she had ordered ten courses and brought the total up to a seven-figure sum. Even Reina went stiff. “North…” she called.“Oh, is that too much? Sorry. I thought you had the money, Reina. Forget it then, if you can’t pay. I’ll pay for myself.”Some people around them looked over. Although th

Hold on, if North was the Regius’ owner, then what did Reina matter?!Reina’s throat constricted. An expression of terror and annoyance crossed her face.Sandra asked in disbelief, “What are you talking about, sir? What does North have to do with the Regius? Is she the owner?!”The executive was confused. “What’s wrong? Do you know our owner?”North chuckled softly. “Yes. They not only know me, but Reina even just spent more than a million dollars on me.”Reina nearly stopped breathing as her face turned red.If North was the owner of the Regius, then she would not have to pay to eat here. Yet, she had not revealed her identity and made Reina spend 1.26 million dollars on her!Ivan said impatiently, “Mr. Cyrus, I recall that the Regius doesn’t allow anyone to reserve the whole restaurant. What’s this about Reina reserving the place?”Mr. Cyrus quickly explained, “Mr. Ivory, there’s no such thing. Mr. Gerald called to reserve a table, but these two ladies insisted on reserving t

The call was soon connected. It was to Gerald’s team of lawyers. “What is it, Mr. Gerald?”North’s eye twitched. What was going on? Why was Gerald calling his lawyers? Was he going to sue her for extortion?Next, North heard Gerald say casually, “How long would it take to transfer all my assets to Mrs. Howard?”The lawyer on the phone was speechless. He swallowed and asked, “Are you sure?”“I’m sure.” Gerald tapped his fingers on the table. “Draft the contract.”The lawyer was filled with confusion as he hung up. Gerald looked up at North. “Would it be enough to cover today’s losses if I transfer all my assets to you, North?”North’s heart thudded in her chest.She told herself that Gerald was simply trying to win her back and that she could not fall for it. However, her face became slightly red. “If it can happen once, it can happen again. What if Reina wants to boast about her relationship with you again?”Gerald grimaced. He felt North looked somewhat jealous. “Don’t wor
