The others were exchanging looks with each other. It did sound like Connor had a point.Although he was an employee, Sam had been friends with Gerald for more than a decade. Now that he was in a coma, Gerald had to take care of him while investigating the truth of what happened. Yet, Reina kept using the fact that she was carrying “Gerald’s baby” to make Gerald choose between her and Sam. What was the meaning of that? She was not Gerald’s wife, but she was in such a rush to boast about her position. The hospital employees around them started talking.“I saw online that Reina and Mr. Gerald have a strong relationship. It’s because Mr. Gerald came to the hospital that netizens are even more sure that the baby is Mr. Gerald’s.”“But Mr. Gerald didn’t come to the hospital because of her.”“That’s why she’s so shrewd. Besides, she has someone who successfully usurped the original wife’s position helping her.”Patricia rolled her eyes in anger. “Shut up!”Reina gritted her teeth. S
This time, Sam was the only one in the production zone so no others were hurt. But what about next time?North nodded determinedly, “She needs to go.”Both Patricia Bracken and Reina had never valued human life. They acted so high and mighty, doing whatever it took to achieve their goals, but what right did they have to do that? Did the people they had sacrificed deserve to die?…Several days passed. Ever since Deep Pool Corporation posted on their official website that Gerald had visited the hospital for Sam, not Reina, the Internet’s tune had changed.Some mocked Reina for being too thick-skinned. Others speculated if the “bond” between him and this usurping mistress was real.North had gone over to the company with Gerald. After finishing contract negotiations, she heard someone gossiping. “Looks like Mrs. Howard is still in his favor. Mr. Howard treats her so well.”“Those baseless rumors on the Internet are only good for entertainment. Everyone knows how Mr. Howard feels
When Reina heard the receptionist’s words, she suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and forced a smile. “Thank you. North probably wouldn’t want to see me if you hadn’t informed her.” She saw a reporter following her and slowly took a deep breath. Ever since Gerald denied that he went to the hospital for her, there had been many rumors about her online. Many people even suspected that this child was not Gerald’s. Reina could not wait any longer. She had to find a way to create a scandal!She wanted everyone to know that she was kind and that North was vicious. She was the best choice for Gerald!After Reina went upstairs, she stood next to North like a wilting flower. North looked at her calmly. After a long while, when Reina started sweating, she said, “Sit.” Reina bit her lip. “If you don’t give me permission to sit, how would I dare sit?” North imperceptibly raised her eyebrows. Did Reina change her tactics? Was she pretending to be weak so that others wou
Mr. Folger originally thought that a stupid person like North would definitely agree to his request. Who knew that not only did she not agree, but she even embarrassed him!He flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Mrs. Howard, I have countless connections. Don’t offend me! You’re also someone who’s about to be abandoned by Mr. Gerald. You might have to rely on me to put in a good word for you in the future!” North almost laughed out of anger. Did Folger and Reina think there was something wrong with her brain? “Looks like we can’t continue this conversation. Mr. Folger, please go back.” Folger’s expression turned ugly. “It’s just a personal grudge. Is it reasonable for Deep Pool Corporation to fire an old employee who has been working for more than ten years for this?” The reporters outside the door felt that this was breaking news. They quickly contacted the editor-in-chief and prepared to broadcast this incident live. Folger sneered. “If word gets out, I’m sure your repu
Reina’s face suddenly turned pale! She did not know that Mr. Folger had done such a thing! Who asked North to be her usual arrogant self? Wasn’t it normal for her to think that it was North’s fault?! However, with so many people watching, Reina could only bow her head in humiliation. “North, I was tricked by Mr. Folger. If I had known that he was involved in the explosion, I would never have spoken up for him.” North smiled slightly. “Reina, you were also in the hospital when Sam underwent the surgery. Even your nurse knew that the explosion was related to Mr. Folger, but you didn’t. That’s very surprising.” “You…” Reina’s expression stiffened. “It’s because I’m pregnant… I’m only concerned about my baby. Of course, I wasn’t listening to gossip...” “If you care so much about your baby, why did you come here to look for me?” North asked slowly, “Reina, aren’t you afraid that something will happen?” That was right. Reina said that because she only cared about the baby, sh
“If she’s unwilling, why is Reina still pretending to apologize?!” “Are you stupid? Can’t you see that there are reporters outside? Reina is trying to portray herself as the victim.” Reina’s expression became uglier. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably as tears streamed down her face. “North! I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. Please don’t think that way. I feel terrible…” “Gerald, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call Mr. Jordan to pick her up. A pregnant woman who’s ‘not in good health’ is still running around here! If Reina faints, whose fault will it be?” North said faintly, “Everyone, you have to be my witness. I didn’t try to do anything to Reina at any point.” “Mrs. Howard, don’t worry. We’re all your witnesses!” “Even if Mr. Jordan is here, he can’t force you to take the blame!” “I’ve studied medicine before. Reina’s cheeks are rosy, and she’s in good health. It’s impossible for her to faint. If she does faint, it’s an act!” Reina gritted her teeth. She di
North was confused.Huh? Was she being bullied? Before she could figure it out, a few people walked toward her. Those people had all heard about North being bullied by Reina and Folger, so they spoke to North anxiously when they saw her. “Mrs. Howard, are you alright?” “We should have sent two people to keep an eye on Folger a long time ago. Who knew that he would find trouble with you!” “Reina is the same. How could she not know what kind of person Folger is? She actually teamed up with Folger to bully you! Mrs. Howard, we let you down.” “That’s right. You look so soft-tempered, Mrs. Howard. You don’t have to keep a brave face in front of us…” North was perplexed.She finally knew why Gerald came so quickly. Gerald stood in front of her. “Everyone, go back first. North is fine.” The directors nodded repeatedly. “It’s good to have a good rest after being frightened. We won’t disturb you anymore.” “Gerald, treat her well. Don’t let her cry alone.” North smiled st
The second major event was that Bernard’s 70th birthday was coming. Bernard said that he would announce an important matter at the birthday banquet and hoped that everyone would attend. At the same time, someone saw Reina officially moving into the Howard family’s old mansion and chatting happily with Bernard.It was also at this time that the chairman of Jordan Corporation voluntarily transferred 5% of their shares, but no one could find out where those shares went. However, everyone guessed that the marriage between the Jordan and Howard families was set in stone. Many people were waiting to see North make a fool of herself on the day of the birthday banquet. On the day of the birthday banquet, North changed her clothes and asked Gerald, “Are you going empty-handed?” Gerald was dressed in a well-ironed suit. When he heard this, his lips curled into a smile. “Mrs. Howard, are you sure that Grandpa’s birthday banquet can continue after I give him a gift?” North thought abo
