When Paige entered the house, she heard the voices of two strangers.
“Mom, those two mean kids won’t let me play with anything.” Gigi complained
“What won’t they share with you?” Jade asked.
“The laptop and the tablet! Tyler won’t let me touch them! He said I’m not worthy.” Gigi cried.
Jade exploded. “This is ridiculous! Come on, I’ll handle it!”
They left the living room and ran into Paige.
Paige was surprised. She wondered, What is that little girl talking about? Did she say Tyler won’t let her use his laptop? No one can touch Ty’s laptop, yet she’s trying to get her mother to take it by force?
The woman who doesn’t seem kind called that ridiculous? Who’s the ridiculous one in someone else’s house, huh?!”
Paige was already angry, and it only intensified when she realized that Tyler was about to be bullied.
She walked further into the house and said, “Stay there”
Jade looked at Paige with confusion. She examined Paige and had doubt in mind.
“I was about to ask you the same question! I overheard you talking about taking Ty’s laptop. Why would you do that?” Paige approached them.
Jade realized that Paige was there to cause trouble.
“An outsider should not interfere in my family’s affairs!” Jade’s words were accompanied by spit.
Paige laughed and said, “Outsider, huh? You were nowhere to be seen when River and I used to play together!”
Jade was furious. “Who are you to criticize me?”
Paige retorted, “Who are you to shout in River’s house, then?”
“Say that to me again, bitch.” Jade spat on Paige.
Paige’s lips twitched, and she shrieked when she felt the stickiness and stink on her face. “Y–You rural shrew!”
“How dare you call me names! I’m going to slap you, you bitch!” Jade shrieked and clawed at
Paige’s head.
Paige grabbed Jade’s hair and said, “Rural shrew! You shrew!”
The commotion echoed throughout the house.
River stepped out of her room and discovered Paige and Jade locked in a heated fight in the living room. Without hesitation, she went downstairs to intervene and defuse the situation.
Tyler and Liora followed closely but remained frozen upstairs, taken aback by the fight.
With considerable effort, River managed to separate the two.
Paige was no match for Jade as she was an experienced farmer. Nonetheless, Jade had a few scratch marks on her face.
Paige leered at Jade, who was crying on the floor, and asked River, “Where did this madwoman come from?”
River led Paige to the restroom to clean the filth on her face and explained, “She’s a part of my adoptive father’s family. They’re here to take advantage of me.”
Paige’s eyes widened in shock. Take advantage of you? Why did you put up with them? Get rid of them!”
River said, “It’s not beneficial for me to fight back by force. I have a way to deal with this. Don’t get angry over this.”
“I’m fine! I just feel indignant for you and the children!” Paige said.
“I’ll adapt and manage. In addition, I won’t let myself be wronged.”
“Alright, just be careful of the shrew.”
“I know.”
Noah quickly learned about the situation and observed Alex, who was upset and drinking. He asked, “You’re really close to Paige, so why are you still here after she just had a fight?”
Alex was surprised. “Fight? Who did she fight with?”
Noah explained nonchalantly, “With River’s troublesome relatives.”
Alex said, “Huh? Do you mean those we encountered at the restaurant?
Noah smiled. “You have been very close with her recently. Aren’t you going to help her out?”
Alex was displeased. “Why aren’t you doing that?”
‘Why should I do it when Noah has a longer relationship with River than me and Paige? Moreover, I was almost incapacitated by Paige’s kick this evening,‘ Alex complained inwardly.
Noah sipped his drink. Tm the most influential CEO of Southeast Rheasia, after all. I can’t get involved in a women’s fight.”
“You’re aware that you’re the most influential CEO now, but do you remember those five years of heavy drinking while searching for River?‘ Alex mocked inwardly
Alex said, “If you can’t get involved, do you think I can get involved?”
Noah glanced at Alex. “You are a women’s advocate and know how to manipulate them.”
“Are you complimenting me?” Alex was furious.
A moment later, he heaved a sigh. “Alright, what would you like me to do? Tell me!”
Noah said, “Appeal to their emotions with understanding and convince them with reason. You may get physically involved if you have no other choice. I’ll be your backer.”
Alex was astounded. “Are you asking me to fight with women? How could you, Noah?”
Noah put down his glass slowly. “Your father-”
Before Noah could finish his sentence, Alex stood up abruptly. I’m going now!”
Alex rushed to Bayview Villa just in time to meet Paige when she walked out of the house.
River was surprised to see Alex and asked Paige, “Did he know you’re here?”
Paige was dumbfounded. “I didn’t tell him! What brought him here?”
Alex got out of the car in a rush after noticing them.
River asked in confusion, “What brought you here at this time, Mr. Pierce?”
Alex frowned when he saw the injury on Paige’s face. He began to say, “I heard that you were-
But he quickly cut himself off. He couldn’t reveal that he was aware of the fight. If he did, River might discover that Noah had been secretly keeping an eye on her.
He also had to avoid any mention of himself. Otherwise, they might think he was a pervert who watched over his best friend’s woman
It dawned on him that Noah had trapped him once more.
After a brief pause, he came up with an excuse. “I came here to see Paige!”
“Why would you want to see me in the middle of the night? Go to your mother instead,” Paige quipped.
Alex diverted the topic of conversation after noticing that Paige believed his excuse. “What’s with your face?”
“Scratched by a bitch!”
Paige was furious that she did not win the fight earlier.
Speaking of which, how would Alex know that she was at River’s place?
Paige glared at Alex. “Did you plant a bug on me?”
Alex was rendered speechless.
“I went to the bar you often go to, but you weren’t there. So, I decided to give this place a shot,”
Alex fibbed.
Paige said, “You’re smart, but get out of here and stop bothering me!”
Alex asked, “Aren’t you even touched at all?”
Paige said, “Why would I be touched? Should I be touched that you used me?”
“Paige, you can’t keep punishing me for a mistake that I made, right?”
Paige grunted. “I will do it for eternity!”
River was puzzled as they quarreled at her door. “Alright, stop quarreling. Go home first, Paige.
Paige nodded. “Call me if you need anything! I refuse to believe that I can’t deal with that shrew!”
Paige left Bayview Villa, and Alex followed suit, tailing her car until she reached her apartment.
Ignoring him, Paige parked her car and stepped into the elevator.
The moment Paige pressed the floor button, Alex managed to squeeze himself inside.
Paige’s eyes widened in disbelief. ‘Are you crazy, Pug- Hmm!”
Without hesitation, Alex grasped the back of Paige’s head, leaned in, and kissed her passionately.
Paige struggled to break free, but Alex held her hands firmly against his chest.
