Upon arriving at the kindergarten’s entrance, she led the children inside, passing by other kids who were throwing tantrums along the way.
Liora and Tyler were unusually obedient.
Liora squeezed River’s hand and asked, “Is it scary to go to school, Mommy? Why are they crying?”
Before River could respond, Tyler answered with a faint smile, “The teachers at school are not monsters, and the principal doesn’t punish children. You don’t have to worry about this, Liora.”
River felt a bit exasperated. ‘Is Ty trying to comfort or scare Lia?‘
Puffing up her cheeks, Liora retorted, “You’re trying to scare me again! I wasn’t raised in fear.”
Tyler chuckled and teased, “Of course. You were raised in a fantasy world.”
Feeling a bit helpless, Liora sought help from River. “Ty is bad, Mommy.”
River was momentarily speechless as she realized there was nothing wrong with what Tyler said.
Awkwardly, she looked away and changed the subject to the scenery.
When they reached the classroom, River lowered her head and
Remember not to tell others about my name. Don’t leave with up after school.”
eminded her children, ”
strangers Im not here to pick you if
Liora and Tyler nodded obediently, and River felt relieved as she stood up.
“Alright, all the best as you embark on your education journey. Bye.”
As River’s voice faded, a tall and imposing figure appeared at the classroom’s entrance, causing her body to tense abruptly.
Tyler noticed her unusual behavior and followed her gaze to the man standing at the door.
He was stunned when he saw the man, who looked remarkably similar to him.
Liora chimed in softly. “Tyler! That man looks just like you!”
Her gaze then shifted to the little boy standing next to the man.
Gasping, she exclaimed, “Tyler! That boy looks even more like you!”
Tyler glanced at his mother, puzzled. ‘Something’s fishy,‘ he thought.
River adjusted her shades and mask before bidding her children goodbye.
As she walked toward the door, her attire drew the attention of other parents in the classroom.
Noah’s pupils constricted as he caught sight of River.
He commanded Axel coldly, “Be good and stay. Bye.”
Axel watched Noah leave in silence, his body tensing up at the sight of unfamiliar faces in the room.
Tyler had been observing Axel all this time.
“Lia, he looks just like me, right?” he asked Liora.
Excitedly, Liora nodded and said, “Yes! I’m going to talk to him, Tyler!”
Tyler smiled cunningly and replied, “Go ahead.”
He was eager to uncover any potentially unknown secrets.
River hurried across the corridor, but Noah managed to catch up to her.
She stopped as Noah stood before her, his expression cold.
In a feigned deep voice, she asked, “Is there something you need, sir?”
After hearing the voice, Noah’s eyes turned cold as he asked, “Who are you?”
River felt the urge to grumble, thinking, ‘Has he lost his mind? Why question the identity of a stranger?‘
“I don’t think we know each other, right? It’s rather rude to ask such a question.” River responded.
Noah narrowed his eyes and changed his tone, saying, “My child attends this kindergarten. I have the right to question someone who hides their face and behaves strangely, especially for my son’s safety.”
River was taken aback, thinking, ‘What a flawless excuse!‘
“I apologize.” River said, “I have an allergic reaction, so I cover my face to avoid startling others. You can inquire with the principal if you wish to know who I am.”
With that, River circled past him and left.
She had used a fake name and address on the application form, so she wasn’t concerned that Noah would uncover anything.
Noah’s expression turned solemn as he watched her silhouette depart.
To him, the woman felt like River!
After leaving the kindergarten, Noah got into his car and instructed Reuben, “Look into the students and their parents in Axel’s class.”
Reuben was surprised. “Is there a dangerous person, Mr. De Marco?”
“I saw her!” Noah murmured.
“Her?” Reuben was confused. “Who are you referring to, Mr. De Marco?”
“River!” Noah replied.
Reuben was astounded. He reminded, “Mr. De Marco, it has been five years since Ms. Healy’s passing ”
“Did you see a corpse?” Noah stared at Reuben coldly from the rearview mirror.
Reuben answered, “No”
Noah scoffed “Paige sent River’s body to be cremated on the night she passed away! If it really was River, why didn’t Paige inform us about it?”
Reuben heaved a sigh.
For the past five years, Noah had repeatedly raised this matter. He had even hired people to watch over Paige, but they had found nothing so far.
Reuben witnessed Noah’s immense pain. Noah had spent nearly six months in a constant state of intoxication.
However, after Noah’s spirits lifted, he became fully engrossed in his work, sleeping no more than four hours a day.
Even after a year, he had only shown slight improvement. What could have gone wrong again?
Reuben did not dare to refute, so he nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. De Marco.”
At 9:00 a.m., River arrived at TYC Fashion located at Dansea Street. She got out of her car and had an ineffable feeling as she looked at the building before her.
She purchased the building a year ago with 28,000,000 dollars, and she could finally operate the business now.
She would make the TYC brand known across the world one day!
rld one day!
River walked into the building and checked every floor. The office facilities were already prepared, so she would need to recruit staff members next.
River made her way to the tenth floor and sat in her office before she made a call.
The call was picked up, and River said smilingly, “Kenny, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”
Kenny Hayes gasped and said, “G! Are you done with the preparation in just a year?”
“Yes, I’m just waiting for you.” River made her way to the floor–to–ceiling window.
“Three days!” Kenny said excitedly, “I promise I will be there with a team!”
Kenny had an office in Muricia, and every staff member of his was highly skilled in their professions.
River highly valued their ability to choose fabric, and they had their own channels to procure the best quality materials.
Even her mentor, John, greatly appreciated them.
However, River knew that admiration alone wouldn’t be enough to recruit Kenny to her team.
In a previous fashion design competition, Kenny’s design sketch was stolen, and the organizer
Thankfully, River stepped in and advised Kenny to make some slight changes, saving his professional career and hard–earned reputation of ten years.
With a chuckle, River said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
After the call, River immersed herself in recruitment and headhunting tasks for three hours.
Just as she was about to order takeout, the preschool teacher called.
River picked up the call hastily. “Hello?”
Alice said, “Will you please come to the school now, you Ms. Healy? This is the situation. Liora got into a fight with a boy, and she scratched his face.”
River’s heart was racing. “How about Liora? How is she?”
Alice said, “Liora is fine. Don’t worry.”
River said, “I’m coming over now.”
After ending the call, River hurried to the kindergarten, which was just a 15–minute car ride away from her company.
I don’t understand
If she used a fake name and address, how come the teacher is addressing her with her name, Ms Healy??
Or is it a typo??
