North took a closer look. It was Bryan.After not seeing her for a few days, Bryan looked much more down and out. He no longer looked high-spirited. When he saw North, he called out with tears in his eyes, “North.”North ignored him and walked forward resolutely.She did not have any strong feelings for Bryan. She did not hate him or dislike him. She just wanted to be a stranger to him.However, Bryan clearly did not agree. He said in pain, “North, it’s been so many days, but you still can’t forgive me…”He regretted it. He really regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would not have listened to Reina’s one-sided story. At the very least, his relationship with his biological daughter would not have become so stiff.However, that was Reina’s fault!Gerald’s eyes darkened. “Mr. Jordan, Glass Manor is under my name. You’re not welcome here.”Bryan was a little frustrated. He was talking to his daughter. Why did an outsider like Gerald interrupt?!He felt that Estella’s daughte
“Not only did you not ask, but you also listened to someone else’s side of the story and rushed over. On the surface, it was for North’s own good, but in fact, you refused to give even the most basic trust to your biological daughter.”Gerald’s gaze was sharp. “Is this what you mean, when you say you love your daughter very much, Mr. Jordan?”Bryan’s lips trembled, and he could not say a word.After a long while, he explained with a red face, “North… It’s not that I don’t believe you, but the person who said this is your grandmother. I didn’t look into the truth, and I misunderstood you. It’s my fault, but…”“So, it was Brenda. That’s not anything out of the ordinary.”Without waiting for North to speak, Gerald nodded lightly.“I wonder if you ever looked into Reina’s background. Reina and Brenda had been in contact four years ago…”Gerald paused for a moment and said meaningfully, “Four years ago, after Reina chased after North, a force from Seatown helped her settle her issues
North finally understood why she felt that Bryan’s words were very familiar.He was being a mother’s boy!He was the type to tell his wife to serve his mother all because she birthed and raised him.Thus, the relationship between the wife and the husband’s mother would be strained. The husband would never deal with it. He would only try to smooth things over and ask his wife to give in each time.In an ordinary family, it was already suffocating to live like this, let alone a wealthy family.She did not understand why her mother chose to be with Bryan back then, but from North’s point of view, Bryan was not someone worth entrusting her life to.Whatever Brenda said had to be done according to her wishes no matter what.Otherwise, Estella would be labeled as ungrateful.It made no sense. Brenda had raised Bryan, and it was Bryan who wanted to repay her kindness. What did that have to do with his lover and his missing daughter?Gerald’s eyes turned even colder.Bryan clearly kn
Brenda took the invitation.The chairman of the Brandy Corporation and his wife were the parents of the famous actor, Marlin Brandy. The Brandy Corporation had a lot of influence in the capital. Even the Jordan family had to look up to them.Therefore, it was impossible for them to reject their invitation.Brenda asked, “Who else was invited?”“The heads of the famous families in Peacevale have basically all been invited, but… but not Mr. Howard.”The butler hesitated for a moment. “However, the Brandy family sent an invitation to Ms. North.”Brenda’s eyes lit up. “Bryan, didn’t you want North to return to the Jordan family? This is a good opportunity.”Gerald could not go, and North was alone.She only had the identity of Gerald’s wife in that case. Without Gerald, who would care about her?However, it would be different if she was the eldest daughter of the Jordan family.Brenda said firmly, “Let her have a taste of being down and out. She’ll know the benefits the Jordan fa
Plus one?North could indeed bring a plus one into the venue, but…“Aren’t you afraid that people will say that you’re living off a woman?”Gerald raised his eyebrows slightly. “It doesn’t matter. I bet they’re jealous anyway.”North was speechless. She vaguely felt that Gerald was getting more and more shameless.…On the day of the banquet, at the Brandy family, Mrs. Brandy came from the capital. She was the wife of the head of the family. At the same time, she was also the mother of the famous actor, Marlin. Everyone in the family had a formidable reputation. They had settled down in Peacevale, so there were naturally many people who came to congratulate them.North had just gotten out of the car when she heard someone gossiping.“Have you heard the news? The Brandy family didn’t send an invitation to Mr. Howard!”Everyone’s eyes widened. “What? How is that possible? I heard that the Brandy family gave Mike an invitation. However, Mike felt too ashamed to show his place in
North nodded. Her eldest brother was right. Bryan was indeed not responsible.After the Jordan family went in, everyone was dumbfounded.“What? Didn’t the Jordan family want to acknowledge North? Instead of admitting they had made a mistake, they started doting on the daughter of a branch family in front of their own daughter. What do they hope to achieve?”“That’s why I said North was so pitiful. If she had returned to the Jordan family, she wouldn’t have to suffer today’s grievances. Look, now a young lady from a branch family is about to walk all over her.”“I’ve heard of Susie Jordan. She’s considered quite outstanding in the Jordan family. However, it’s not to the extent of pampering her and leaving the real eldest daughter of the Jordan family aside.”…In the villa, Bryan was worried. “Mom, aren’t we going overboard? North is my daughter, but I didn’t give her any preferential treatment. Instead…”“Bryan!” Brenda sneered. “Although Susie isn’t your biological daughter, sh
Before Mrs. Brandy married Mr. Brandy, she had been in a rich family. She was living the life many could only dream of. Mr. Brandy doted on her so much that even though she was already fifty years old, she was still playful and girlish.Instead of thinking of something else, she just had to hook North. Mrs. Brandy described the scene. “North, think about it. Everyone is socializing at the banquet. Then, the sound of hooves can be heard at the door. Everyone walks out and finds two tall white horses pulling a crystal carriage. Then, you get out of the carriage. At this moment, everyone’s eyes will be on you. Everyone will only see you…” North hurriedly interrupted her. “I think I’m fine now!” Mrs. Brandy was a little disappointed. “I see. Forget it then. Still, I’ve prepared some jewelry for you. It’s very beautiful. It was made by a master craftsman a hundred years ago. I brought you the full set. You can stun everyone later!” North wanted to ask Marlin for help. Mrs. Br
“You actually had the gall to show me that you cheated on me on our wedding day? How could you be so vulgar, North?!”North Myers stared at the shameful pictures on the screen, and her mind simply could not process what she was seeing. Her fiance, Eiger South, stormed over and slapped her. Her half-sister, Melinda Myers, started crying. “North, why didn’t you treasure Eiger when he’s such a good man?!”North suddenly understood something. She had been engaged to Eiger since childhood, and they were to be married today. But when she entered the church, she saw Eiger hugging Melinda intimately. She had been furious and gone over to question them, only to have pictures of her “cheating” with different men start playing on screen. The guests looked over. “How disgusting. She actually slept with so many men? She can’t possibly compare to Miss Melinda, who is as pure as snow.”“North is actually so wild in private? How embarrassing.”Henry Myers, her father, was furious. “You t
