Reina fell to the ground. She was in a sorry state, and her eyes were red. “Gerald, you actually helped North hit me? I love you so much. Why do you care about North? Why?! Everything I did was for us. If I love you, you should love me back!” North turned around and met Gerald’s red eyes. She was stunned. Gerald was usually cold. Even when he was in unbearable pain, his expression was cold and restrained. It could be said that in his dictionary, there was no such thing as crying. However, his eyes had reddened. He looked at North quietly with a gaze that she could not understand. North looked away and interrogated Reina. “You’re ridiculous. So, Gerald should love you back because you love him? There are so many people in the world who love him, does he have to love them all back?” Reina’s face was filled with anger. “Gerald, how can I be the same as those b*tches? I’m the eldest daughter of the Jordan family. I am superior by birthright! Wouldn’t I know how risky it was
North was a stepping stone, yet she still dared to fight back. This was her fault, wasn’t it? Bryan could not understand why North could not accept her fate. Why did she have her fate? Why couldn’t she sacrifice herself for Reina? Wasn’t that what she should do? North sneered. Bryan was such a hypocrite. Those above him had to treat him as an equal, and those below him had to grovel at his feet Bryan thought North was just an ant. If she died, so be it. If she became a stepping stone, that was her fate. It was her fault for being born inferior.North really could not figure it out. How could she be the daughter of such a person? Bryan knew that today’s matter would not be resolved peacefully. He took a deep breath. “Gerald, I understand Reina pretended to be your savior. This is her fault. However, she’s still the eldest daughter of the Jordan family. I’m sure you understand, right?” Gerald said lightly, “I don’t understand.” Bryan was humiliated again, and his expressio
Bryan knew that Gerald would not agree. Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing. “Since North is fine, and Reina has already paid the price, then… let Reina apologize and handle the matter privately. How about that?” Reina had already paid a hefty price when Gerald had shot her wrists. However, Bryan did not dare reveal it.If the outside world were to ask why Gerald did this, what would they say? They would have to confess that Gerald was avenging North because Reina had gotten someone to slash North’s wrists! Reina’s reputation was ruined. After saying this, Bryan felt a little aggrieved for Reina. In his opinion, it was not a big deal. What was there to apologize for? Bernard also thought that this was a good idea. Just as he was about to agree, he saw Gerald smile. Then, Gerald’s expression quickly turned cold. “Apologize?” Gerald spoke coldly and enunciated each word.“If the person who was hunted down today, slandered, and almost killed was you
Gerald raised his eyebrows slightly. “What does my work have to do with the Howard family? Wasn’t it the Howard family who clung to me?” Bernard’s expression froze, and everyone choked. Yes, what did it have to do with the Howard family? When the Howard family saw that there were benefits, they stuck close to Gerald. When there were no benefits, they kicked Gerald away. “That’s why you need to use your brain. You’re already so old. If you don’t use your brain, you’ll be at a higher risk of dementia. You can’t even investigate the Jordan family’s matters, so you probably don’t understand my relationship with the Howard family.” After Gerald finished speaking, he did not look at Bernard’s and Bryan’s expressions. He smiled and asked, “Mr. Jordan, in your opinion, is Reina’s apology the biggest step backward she can take?” Everyone could not help but shake their heads. What was going on? Attempted murder, slander, forging a will, false accusations, and identity theft… Those we
Bryan’s mind buzzed. What did they mean by “he mistook his daughter for someone else”? What nonsense were these people talking about?! However, the people around them did not care what Bryan was thinking. All of them took out their phones to read the gossip online. “I’ll log in!” “Wow, it’s shocking!” “D*mn, Nathan was right. Bryan is brainless…” “How can someone with such little intelligence be the head of the Jordan family?” The young scions were so shocked that they became louder and louder as they spoke. They were stopped by their elders, but they had said enough to spur everyone into action. Hence, more and more people could not hold back their curiosity and clicked on Twitter. A minute later, everyone looked at each other. North blinked. “Gerald, what did you do?” Gerald’s expression did not change. “I just wanted to give Mr. Jordan a surprise. Mr. Jordan, do you think it’s a surprise enough?” Bryan was so angry that his face turned red. He had no idea w
“Clearly, I don’t know how to read since Bryan keeps saying I’m wrong. Ah, I don’t understand.” Nathan pretended to be puzzled. “Since Reina is Mr. Jordan’s daughter, why is she 100% related to Linda Lane and Henry Myers in the paternity test? Can anyone explain it to me?” Bryan suddenly widened his eyes, thinking that he had misheard. The scene was silent for three seconds before someone added, “Mr. Nathan, you didn’t misread it. Reina’s biological father is Henry Myers, and her biological mother is Linda Lane.” Another person said meaningfully, “Ah, how strange. Can a person have that many biological parents?” “Otherwise, why are Henry and Linda Reina’s biological parents in addition to Mr. Jordan and Madam Estella? How can the four of them have one child?” Bryan suddenly stopped in his tracks and quickly turned around. His eyes were about to pop out of his head. “What?!” Reina was flustered and terrified. “Dad, don’t listen to them. They… They were all bribed by Nort
Did Gabriel say that? It seemed like… he really did say that. However, Gabriel was interrupted by Bryan’s anger. “No, that’s impossible… How could I be wrong…” He knew what these paternity tests meant. It meant that Reina was not his biological daughter. His biological daughter might very well be… North. But if it was North, then he would not have a daughter…North had already become enemies with the Jordan family… He could not believe it. He did not want to believe it. He just wanted to escape. Gerald glanced at him and smirked sarcastically. “Mr. Jordan, I’ve reminded you that Patricia and Madam Estella used to be ‘love rivals.’ Why would she treat the daughter of her love rival as her biological daughter?” Bryan staggered. He remembered… Gerald and Reina’s marriage was arranged by Patricia, but Patricia hated Estella so much. Why… “It’s because Patricia also knows who Madam Estella’s real daughter is, and she’s not Reina.” Gerald said meaningfully, “Mr. Jordan, it
“Not only the photos, but also Estella’s diary, inheritance, and design plans... Everything was left for North.” Gerald mocked Bryan. “You’re a smart person. You should have figured it out, right?” Bryan staggered and fell to the floor with a thud. Yes… he was not stupid. What else could it be? It could only be because… Estella was North’s mother. She was North’s mother. North was his daughter…! He wanted to scream!North took out Estella’s diary. It was her handwriting. North still had the beautiful notes and paintings that Estella had taken away from the Jordan family.Bryan finally admitted that he had made a mistake. What should he do? The Jordan family and North were already at loggerheads with each other. North’s hands, the grievances she had suffered… Even fifteen minutes ago, he had looked down on her because of Reina! “North…” Bryan got up in a daze. “North, I’m your father. I’m your father…” North ran her fingers through her hair and said calmly, “Mr. Jordan
