Semua Bab Marrying the Richest Man After My Break Up: Bab 541 - Bab 550

Fifty thousand dollars a project, and no customizations? Even Star herself would never have dared to do this.“Has anyone bought one of Mr. Carter’s designs before?” North pretended to ask curiously.Johnny scoffed. “Their identities are too important for me to reveal to you.”“So, they’re classified? That’s a shame. I wanted to get to know them,” North sighed. “After all, it’s hard to find people this gullible nowadays.”Johnny choked on his own spit, but he could not say a word. His face turned crimson.It was true that no one bought his designs… But it did not matter! What right did a country girl like North have to look down on him?“Y-You… I can’t design anything for someone like you. Goodbye, Ms. Nelly!” Johnny began storming outside angrily, but Nelly hastily caught up to him. “Please don’t be mad, Mr. Carter. North, that was out of line! How could you say that? Apologize to Mr. Carter, please. Where are you going to get another designer if he turns the job down?”“When

She put the blueprints away and got up nonchalantly, “Thank you for your suggestions, Ms. Nelly. Your coffee’s on me. Do come to my wedding when the time comes.”With that, North headed straight out.Nelly was shocked. That b*tch!She was so enraged that her face and ears were red. She could not wait to get rid of North!Meanwhile, Connor had been watching from the sidelines. He was speechless.Gerald was worried North would get bullied? It was already a miracle if she did not bully someone else!…Over at Royal Sights Residences, North arrived in a good mood. She wanted to tell Gerald what had happened at the cafe.However, Gerald was on the phone with someone, and she could only hear bits and pieces.The caller was a man with a stern voice. “Don’t spoil her, Gerald. If Nelly’s causing trouble in the country, let North take care of it herself.”Gerald looked up to glance at North before nodding in the phone’s direction. “Okay.”“I’ll be coming back in a few days. I’ve alrea

She read Leon’s question again. What did she think about her husband?What else could she think?!Irked, North typed furiously. [He’s an unfaithful ladies’ man!]When Gerald’s phone beeped and he saw the text, he stood abruptly and slammed his teacup onto the table, making an unpleasant noise.North was already pent up with rage, so she immediately looked up and snapped, “What are you doing?”Gerald said nothing. A ladies’ man? Unfaithful?Gerald took a deep breath and began typing. [Really… But I don’t think Gerald’s that kind of man.]North felt like someone had just knocked some sense into her. Shoot, how could she have forgotten? Leon was friends with Gerald!She began thinking fast and called Leon by his first name. [You never know what someone’s really like, Leon. Even though I married rich, I have no one to rely on or trust. I can barely do anything in this dog-eat-dog world of rich people. I’m so fragile and helpless…]Gerald gripped his teacup so hard that he almost s

Nelly paled, and her lips trembled as she took a deep breath. “Gerald… What’s the meaning of this? I really was just kidding at Dew Garden. Besides, it’s been almost a day now. Do you really still care—”“I’m not talking about the incident at Dew Garden. You know that,” Gerald said calmly. “Johnny Carter’s been driven out of the design industry. That was the price he had to pay. What about you?”Nelly finally lost her composure.How dare North, that b*tch, complain about her?!“Gerald, I don’t know what North told you, but it really was an accident that I found Johnny Carter. I didn’t know he was that type of person,” Nelly replied anxiously, as if she was genuinely innocent. “I didn’t know Leon had already made some designs for North, so I was sincerely trying to help.“Wedding rings are so important that the more famous the designer, the higher North’s status would be. I was worried other people would say she wasn’t a good match for you so in my haste…”Nelly’s words could have

When North clicked on the message, it read: [That’s the same reason as Gerald’s. He fell in love with you at first sight.]North suddenly felt an overwhelming dizziness. It was like a brick had fallen from the sky to hit her on the head. She could barely see straight and gripped her phone tightly.Gerald fell in love with her at first sight?! How did Leon know that?Did he guess it, or did he ask Gerald about it?After getting over her shock, she felt a strange shyness rise within her.The man she was talking to was twenty whole years older. Talking about love with someone that old always gave her a weird feeling.North took a deep breath and tried to make herself sound cheerful. [Thanks. I didn’t know you still cared about things like this at such an old age, my friend.]Gerald’s expression turned stony as he almost crushed his phone in his grip.“Such an old age”? Who was she calling old?!North shot him a weird look. Wasn’t Gerald in a good mood? Why was he looking upset ag
