North raised her eyebrows slightly and looked over meaningfully. “You’re right.” Mrs. Jordan felt much better. Just as she was about to mock North again, she heard her say, “But at least my husband is reliable, unlike you and my mother’s husband, who can’t be relied on at all.” Bryan’s face turned red. Nobody said anything.Mrs. Brandy fought back a smile. She had misunderstood.Who said that North could not tell that Mrs. Jordan was mocking her? Wasn’t she leading Mrs. Jordan into a trap? The guests fell silent. That made sense. Mr. Jordan Senior had never had a say in family affairs, and Bryan was incompetent and weak. Weren’t these two men unreliable? At least Gerald was afraid that North would be bullied, so he had rushed to the Brandy family. He was much more responsible than the men from the Jordan family. Gerald walked toward the main table calmly. With his status, as soon as he entered, many people were tempted to build connections and find an opportunity to g
The scene fell silent. Bryan was at a loss. He looked at North and wanted to say something but hesitated. Marlin was so annoyed by Bryan’s expression. He sneered and said, “North, don’t listen to unimportant people. Eat.” Bryan was directly called an “unimportant person”. His face flushed red. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. Mrs. Jordan was indignant. She trembled with anger. What did Marlin mean? Was he mocking the Jordan family for not being powerful enough? The Jordan family had clearly given North a way back in, but North was the one who was unwilling to come back! Mrs. Jordan rolled her eyes. Although Mrs. Brandy and Marlin were protecting North, they were not her biological family, after all. Who knew what kind of life North was leading in the Brandy family? Perhaps the Brandy family was just pretending to love her!At this moment, someone was talking beside her. “My daughter’s birthday is coming up soon. She’s already been given all the gifts she needs.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Jordan did not notice that the more she spoke, the more enthusiastic she became. “This watch was sold for 300 million. Bryan was going crazy! He wanted to buy it immediately! He only wanted his daughter to be happy, after all. Unfortunately, he was too slow in the end. The watch was purchased by a rich young man in the capital. He was disappointed for a long time.“In the end, Bryan could only spend 30 million dollars to buy another watch. Although it’s not as expensive as the Resplendent Milky Way, the feelings in the gift are more important than the value. Don’t you think so?” Mrs. Jordan’s bragging was too obvious. She might as well have said, “The Jordan family is rich, and Bryan is a good father. North, you’re the one who’ll be at a disadvantage if you don’t admit it!”Everyone smiled awkwardly. On the other hand, Mrs. Brandy was interested. “Huh? Where’s that 30-million-dollar watch that Mr. Jordan bought? Are you preparing to give it to North?” B
The scene fell silent again.After two minutes, someone could not help but laugh.“That’s right! You talked about a watch worth 300 million dollars to show off. In the end, you only bought a watch worth 30 million dollars!”Mrs. Jordan’s face was ashen. “The value of the gift doesn’t change the love that was behind it. This also means that the Jordan family dotes on their daughter…”“A gift worth 30 million dollars shows your love?”Mrs. Brandy looked puzzled. In the end, she came to a conclusion and said seriously, “Mrs. Jordan, there’s no need to explain. I understand. It seems like the Jordan family really is poor!”Mrs. Jordan almost could not breathe.Mrs. Brandy continued, “By the way, that watch looks a little familiar… Marlin, do you remember it?”Mrs. Brandy felt that the watch looked familiar? Everyone immediately thought of something.Sure enough, Marlin smiled indifferently. “Of course, you find it familiar, Mom. I bought that watch.”Everyone was in an uproar!M
“Do you think North loves letting people from the branch family walk all over her? Do you think she likes being mocked? Is that how you dote on her? Forget it, she doesn’t need that!”“No…” Bryan was speechless for a moment, as if there was a lump in his throat.He wanted to say that it was not like that. He only wanted to agitate North today. He wanted her to know about the Jordan family’s wealth and let her return to the Jordan family. He did not mean to snub and mock North.However, sensing the mocking gazes of the others, Bryan’s face paled. He could not help but look at Mrs. Jordan, as if he were looking for a lifeline.Mrs. Brandy sneered. Bryan was weak and irresponsible. He was almost fifty years old, but he still only listened to his mother. He did whatever his mother said. Why didn’t he simply marry his mother then? Why did he have to harm Estella and North?“Mrs. Jordan and Mr. Jordan, you don’t seem to want to continue attending the banquet.”At this moment, Marlin sa
North was not interested in Bryan’s blind dates. After hanging up, she suddenly heard Gerald speak.“Mr. Jordan doesn’t want to go on blind dates. Or rather, he’s very against it.”North raised her eyebrows. “It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t dare to defy Mrs. Jordan’s orders.”The blind date was Mrs. Jordan’s idea. Bryan had never disobeyed his mother. Even if he did not want to, he would still go.North frowned in disdain. “Bryan is pretending to be affectionate. The entire world knows that he’s ‘unwavering’ toward my mother and hasn’t married yet, but I really wonder if he had any love for my mother.”If he liked her, why did not he marry her? If he liked her, why did he let her humiliate him?If he did not like her, why didn’t he get married to someone different? If he did not like her, why did he keep her belongings and portraits?Gerald said slowly, “Love? Of course, he did.”North did not believe him.“For some people, love isn’t worth much. They can give anyone and everyon
“That’s right. What will people think of the Howard family if they find out?”North raised her eyebrows. It was Mike’s voice.The others should be people sent by the Howard family to support Mike.Mike’s eyes darkened. He wanted to teach North a lesson today when Gerald was not around!If he removed her from her position as the head of the design department, she would not dare to resist!Mike pretended to sigh and said, “That’s right. The position of the department head belongs to those who are capable and experienced. Gerald made a mistake, so he should correct it. In the future, I will also be a member of Deep Pool Corporation. Why don’t we do this? I will make the decision to remove North…“Those who are capable and experienced should take the lead, right?” North opened the door of the meeting room and stood directly in front of Mike. “It seems like you have a lot of opinions about me, don’t you?”Mike gritted his teeth and wished he could skin North alive.It was this woman
“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
