บททั้งหมดของ Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Up: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

North was not interested in Gerald’s curriculum vitae. She casually took the menu and looked for something delicious to reward herself.She almost spat out her water when she saw the prices listed on the menu.North asked earnestly. “Has anyone ever lodged a report about how Dew Garden set its prices?” She thought. “The prices are outrageously high!” The manager felt helpless. He was about to answer North. However, when he saw a man arriving, his expression immediately changed, and he looked down. North remained clueless. “What is it? Is this some kind of trade secret? Can’t you tell me?” “Ms. North, you can always ask me.” North heard a gentlemanly voice. Although Gerald sounded gentle, his voice was devoid of any emotions. It exuded a sense of majesty that belonged to someone superior. The manager knew well that Gerald’s gentleness was only skin-deep. He dared not offend Gerald. The manager quickly said, “Mr. G, here you are. I’ll excuse myself first.” Gerald nodded.

Melinda smirked. She tightened her hold on Eiger’s arm.She was the mistress, but it did not matter because everyone was giving her their blessings.Melinda gave Eiger a quick glance before feigning concern and saying, “Eiger, North lives on her own and doesn’t have a driver. It is almost 9 p.m., and she is still not here. I worry that—”Eiger frowned and said, “You don’t have to care about her. Her absence is none of your business. Even if she dropped out of college, you need not be concerned.”“That’s right, Melinda. Do you really think Eiger should pick her up? There is no way I will let that country bumpkin dirty his luxury car,” said Lilac. Lilac was furious as she had been kicked out of Dew Garden the day before, so she could not resist bad-mouthing North in front of everyone today. “That b*tch should know her place! Is she expecting to travel around in luxury cars? I think she’s only fit to take the bus!”Melinda shook her head helplessly and said, “Okay, Lilac, stop wi

“Oh?” Gerald narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Would North remain silent and compromise when her spot was usurped? …The art contest concluded by afternoon.Eiger gave North a call and started giving her orders like a boss. “North, come to the art hall. Melinda has kindly invited you to the award ceremony. You wouldn’t want to upset my grandfather either, do you?”North scoffed and tightened her grip on her phone. After she came back to Peacevale, Mr. Ronald was the only elder who showed her kindness. She knew how much he cared about this award ceremony.Eventually, she got to her feet and headed in the direction of the art hall.“Apparently, Peacevale University and the South family organized the art competition, and Melinda will be the award presenter. I can see that Mr. Eiger adores her a lot. He even gave her the chance to stand on stage alongside well-known artists.” “So, even if North stole the show just now, it wouldn’t matter. In terms of talent, Melinda is way bette

Melinda held her chest and swayed a little.“Melinda!” Eiger hurriedly held her. “Grandpa, she has a heart condition. I’ll take her to the infirmary!”He did not even bother to apologize to North. He swiftly left through the back door.Roland’s gaze increasingly grew heavy with disappointment. He was upset seeing Eiger, the grandson whom he deeply valued, lose his sense of right and wrong over a woman. He even disregarded the dignity of the South family!“North, come here. Let’s get on the stage together.”Roland took the trophy and instructed the host to invite the award-winning students onto the stage. Together with North, he presented the awards to everyone.Half an hour later, North helped Roland get back to the backstage.He looked tired. “North, I’m sorry for only finding out such a big matter last... Cough cough... Please forgive me for letting you feel wronged.”North felt a pang in her heart. “Eiger and I will never get back together. I don’t want you to worry.”At t

Steward’s expression darkened. “Ms. Jane, I’m sure you know exactly why Mr. Gerald canceled the engagement. If you continue to cause a scene, I’ll have to call the Lane family!”Jane stiffened. She became agitated when provoked by Steward’s threat. She raised her hand abruptly. “Shut up! Ah!”North quickly walked downstairs, grabbed Jane’s hand, and twisted it hard.Jane screamed in pain. “Let go, b*tch! Don’t you have any manners?!”North sneered. “I was wondering who was causing a scene. Turns out it’s you, Ms. Jane. Is wailing, causing a scene, and hitting people considered polite in the Lane family?”Both Gerald and Steward said that the engagement was canceled because of what Jane did. Jane’s expression had also revealed her guilty conscience.Since the engagement was called off due to her actions, she had no right to blame Gerald for it or even call North a mistress!Jane became even more furious. She rapidly grabbed the hot tea beside her and wanted to pour it over Nort
