How were the others not able to figure it out by now? North was pressured by Linda to drink with Paul, and she also bought off his assistant. Her intentions are quite evident from those two actions!“The stepmother is so cruel. She really sent North off to Mr. Paul to clear the way for her daughter. I pity the first wife’s daughter.” “That’s right. Did they know how many women Mr. Paul has ruined? Even Linda’s daughter, who had turned into a mistress, was trying to get rid of Ms. North.”Eiger had not been here long, but he had already heard nearly everything.He secretly thought that North had given herself away on purpose to appease Paul, and the whole thing had nothing to do with Linda. However, he started to panic as the evidence piled up. He thought to himself, “Is it possible that North wasn’t even drunk last night, but was—”“I had no choice!”Linda, the target of everyone’s criticism, suddenly fell to her knees and knelt in front of North!“I had no choice but to do t

Her whole body ached when she yelped. Somewhere on her body was a sharp pain. She twisted her body uncomfortably, and suddenly someone grabbed her hand. “You have a fever. Go back to sleep. I’ll put some ointment on your body. It’ll stop hurting when you wake up,” Gerald said softly. North was feeling groggy. After hearing those words, she closed her eyes subconsciously. The man let out a chuckle. His eyes trailed along her waist and slowly lowered. Then he lifted her up and put her in the backseat of the car. “Drive,” he instructed calmly.Connor wound up the partitions in the car in respect, and he asked, “How do you plan to take care of the Myers family, Mr. Gerald?”“Linda seems to have a niece in the Lane family?” Gerald asked lazily. Connor nodded. “Linda’s older brother does have a daughter.”“Find a way to get her to go to the Myers family and cause some trouble for Linda.”…When North woke up, she massaged her temples and looked out the window at the sky.“Hmm

“You probably don’t know this yet, but Ms. Lane brought me in,” Olivia explained.She then thought of something and said smugly, “I advise you to restore this place to its original state and replant the orchids. “Otherwise, she’ll question you when she comes back. Even if I don’t bring it up, Mr. Gerald will chase you out of here.”North looked at her and questioned, “Who am I?”Olivia was momentarily at a loss. “You’re...”She spoke deliberately, “I’m Gerald’s rightful wife and the matriarch of Royal Sights Residences. “Why should I be questioned for planting flowers in my own home?”Olivia and Emily were speaking cryptically. They were insinuating that she wasn’t worthy of Gerald. What of it?She and Gerald were legally married. That “Ms. Lane” was practically nobody. Who were they to dictate even the smallest aspects of her life?Olivia’s expression changed and raised her voice as she said, “You can’t say that. To be Mr. Gerald’s wife, you should know how to maintain this

North stiffened. She felt Gerald probing her, so she immediately blinked and lowered her head shyly.“Mr. Gerald, what are you trying to say? Do you really think that I’m that petty?”“Emily wanted to hit me, so I let Ms. Olivia do it. Of course, I’m content now.” Gerald ignored her explanation.If he had not come just now, North would probably have taken revenge her own way.At this moment, Steward hurried over and said, “Mr. Gerald, Ms. North just wanted to set up a mini garden here. My apologies for letting Ms. Olivia and Emily have this opportunity to criticize Ms. North. Ms. North, I’m sorry that they bullied you.”North shyly waved her hand and said, “It’s alright, Mr. Steward. I’m fine. Fortunately, Mr. Gerald came in time.”Gerald’s gaze gleamed as he chuckled lightly.He thought, “They bullied her? Steward may have been overly worried. “She would never be bullied.”After North returned to her room, Steward immediately reported to him. “Mr. Gerald, Ms. Linda’s nie

The statement was like a bolt from the blue for Summer. She became furious. “You’ve always paid for me! Why did you bring me to the mall when you’re broke?”North tilted her head in confusion and asked, “You’re the one who said you wanted to come to the mall to buy clothes, so I accompanied you. Summer, did you buy too much and couldn’t pay up?”The people around them immediately looked at Summer strangely.Summer’s face turned red with rage. “I don’t care! You have to pay for me anyway!”After saying this, she yelled at the store manager, “Ask her to pay! She has plenty of money!”The store manager hesitated a bit.North pretended to be upset. “Summer, I considered you as a friend, and you just want me to pay?”“I’m not your mother. You’re already in your twenties, yet you want me to pay for you when you spend money so recklessly.”Summer became agitated. “We’re relatives, and you can’t even help me with this little favor? If you don’t help me pay, I’ll tell your grandfather!
