River was concerned that the argument might worsen Jamie’s condition. She quickly reassured her, “Jamie, those are my friends. Please go inside I’ll handle this
Jamie agreed, turning to head back to the villa.
Hearing the noise, Alex glanced over. He caught a glimpse of a familiar face, but River’s figure blocked his view.
Alex furrowed his eyebrow, thinking, ‘Why does the woman look so much like Noah’s mother?”
How could Noah’s mother be acquainted with River?
When River approached to stop the quarrel, he dismissed the absurd thought.
“Stop quarreling out here. There’s space in the house for you to utilize your skills, and the neighbors won’t watch.”
Paige glared at Alex, grunted, and approached River. “Let’s go, River. Ignore him!”
Alex said, “I’m not going in.”
River stopped walking. “Don’t you want to come inside?”
Even though he was friends with Noah, it would be rude for River not to welcome him into the house as a guest.
Alex shook his head. ‘I’m here to visit the child on Noah’s behalf. You seem in a good mood, so I believe he is well.”
River remained silent, thinking. Is he still worried about Tyler despite his harsh words? He seems to switch his stance quite rapidly, doesn’t he?
River did not persuade him to stay. “Tyler is well. Thank you for your concern.”
Alex nodded. “I shall leave then. Go inside. You don’t need to see me off.”
Paige rolled her eyes. “As if anyone wants to see you off-
“Paige! Don’t speak so bluntly,” River interrupted
River pulled Paige into the house and asked, “What is going on with you? Why do you act like he’s the enemy when you meet him?”
Paige was avoidant. “Nothing, I just find him to be an eyesore.”
River narrowed her eyes. “You’re lying. Paige.
“No.” Paige was stubborn,
River asked, “How long have we been friends? Do you think I can’t tell when you lie? I won’t push if you’re not ready to share, but I’m your best friend. I want you to know you can tell me anything.”
Paige heaved a sigh. “Tll tell you then. We slept together when we were drunk.”
Paige’s eyes welled up with tears. “I’m not asking him to take responsibility for me because we’re adults. Moreover, I left because I was so embarrassed at the time.
“Yet, he acted as if nothing happened. Then, he told me that he’d take responsibility for me afterward. Was he mute at the time? It was my first time…“
River was at a loss for words. She had just learned what happened when they were drunk.
River said, “So, do you want him to take responsibility or not? That is the issue.”
“I heard Alex is pursuing many women. If I were to date him, I’d always be wary of potential cheating!”
River was confused. “However, you appear to be pissed about him not taking responsibility.”
Paige heaved a sigh. “Forget it. I just regard it as if a dog has bitten me.”
River said, “It’s hard to predict a relationship. You look like you’ve fallen for Alex.”
“Me? That would be absolutely impossible!” Paige laughed.
River looked at Paige and realized Paige might not be seeing things clearly. She wished that
Alex would keep his word and not hurt Paige emotionally.
Alex headed to Villa Rosa to see Noah after leaving Bayview.
He entered the living room, sat down, and said, “River’s son has recovered, Noah.”
Noah scrolled his phone and answered without even looking up. “Hmm.”
Alex shrugged. “Even though you have already concluded certain things, my intuition has always been accurate. Moreover, it’s not impossible for someone to hack into the system and change the DNA report. There is something else aside from this.”
Noah looked at him with a frown. “You seem to enjoy defending her these days.”
Alex chucked. “Are you not going to let me speak the truth?”
“Who knows how trustable your words are?” Noah mocked mercilessly.
Alex said, “Ouch, that’s hurtful. Let me speak first.”
Noah pursed his lips and waited for Alex to continue.
‘I visited Bayview today and saw a woman at River’s place. The woman looked just like your mother from the side,” said Alex.
Noah’s gaze dimmed. “My subordinates have looked into the villas and surveillance footage of residential areas in Novamere. If my mother is at Bayview, why hasn’t she shown up in the surveillance footage?
“In addition, how likely do you think this matter is? My mother is not acquainted with River.”
Alex agreed that the possibility was low after listening to Noah’s analysis.
“Why did you go to Bayview anyway?” Noah suddenly asked with a tinge of displeasure.
Alex said, “I met Tyler before, so I had to pay him a brief visit.”
He would never expose his plan of reconciling Noah and River’s relationship.
“Don’t be so kind next time, Noah said coldly.
Alex said, “Alright, you get to call the shots.”
At Xander Residence
Daniella met Grayson after waiting for two days. She stood before him with her head lowered and said tearfully, “Grandpa, I won’t act on my own anymore. Please don’t be angry at me.”
Grayson could not bear to punish her. “It has passed. Just don’t act so rashly from now on ”
Daniella approached Grayson and hugged his arm after noticing his gentle tone. “You’re the best, Grandpa. However, I have a favor to ask from you.
Grayson glanced at her in surprise. “What is it?”
“I would like to go to work. I’m still young and don’t want to waste my time,” Daniella said.
“It’s arduous to work. If you don’t have enough money to spend, just let me know,” Grayson replied.
Daniella shook her head. ‘No, Grandpa. Giving me money is different from the money learn myself.
“Tm all grown up now. I can’t always rely on my elders.
Grayson was gratified because of her words. “What do you want to do? Tell me. I’ll support you in this aspect
Daniella’s eyes lit up. “Grandpa, I want to open a small fashion design company.”
Grayson patted the back of her hand dotingly. “That’s simple. I can fund you as long as you’re good and happy.”
Daniella said, “Thank you, Grandpa! You’re the best!”
After that, she sneered with a wicked grin. She believed she could do it because River could Plus, she had a dependable backer.
Once the company was established, she planned to outshine River–TYC Fashion would vanish.
Naturally, she would not lay idle since River made her suffer.
On Monday, the bodyguards went to the kindergarten with River to send Tyler and Liora to school.
The kindergarten principal came to them and sincerely apologized for what happened recently. Alongside that, the principal also ensured the security system there was strengthened.
River observed the children entering the kindergarten before hurrying to her company,
After entering the company, River frowned because of the vacant reception. She checked her wristwatch and found that it was already 8.30 a.m. Her subordinates had no sense of punctuality.
She then took the elevator to the floor of her office.
The door of the elevator opened.
After that, she was stunned by the colorful confetti falling from the sky.
“Surprise!”
Kenny appeared suddenly with a fresh bouquet. The other employees also came over to stand before her.
They pulled a banner apart with large golden words on it
“Congratulations on the release of TYC Fashion’s first batch of pre–sale clothes!”
River was too amazed to speak.
The receptionists weren’t actually late. They were there to surprise her along with Kenny and the Test of the team.
‘I accused them wrongly just now she thought
She smiled, and her eyes became red with emotion “So, the first set of clothes was made successfully?”
“Yes, Ms. Healy!” all the employees replied loudly
“We can sell them today?”
“Yes. Ms. Healy!”
Kenny stuffed the bouquet into River’s arms, looking seductive. “Ms Healy, now we’re waiting for you to press the button for our first sale”
River gave him a reproachful gaze. “Your surprise. What should I say..
Following that, she wiped her tears and continued “Thank you, Kenny! I also extend my gratitude to all my employees who have placed their trust in me. Let’s embark on this new chapter for the company as a united team!”
“Congratulations, Ms. Healy!”
River walked toward the computer they had prepared under great applause and pressed the button for the sale.
At the same time, at MK
Reuben stood before Noah, holding a tablet. “Mr. De Marco, Ms. Healy’s company is moving. quickly. They ve begun the first sale.”
