The Healys were shocked and started explaining with twisted excuses.
Ignoring them, Officer Peralta asked Tyler, “Is your mother really so wealthy that she can buy them a house and a car?”
Liora blinked innocently and said, “Sir, my mommy owns a big company. They tried to take advantage of her because she’s rich.”
Tears welled up in Liora’s eyes as she pouted. “They’re really mean, sir. My poor mommy… Will you give us a ride home? I’m afraid they might do something bad if they get angry…
Liora’s pitiful and innocent demeanor touched the police officers‘ hearts.
“Don’t worry, I promise to take you safely to your mother!”
Officer Peralta concluded that the Healys were pretending to be in need of money and closed the case.
The police informed River and took the three children back to Bayview Villa.
River rushed home upon hearing the news. She felt relieved when she saw her children speaking with the police officers in the yard.
River approached them and thanked the officers, “Thank you for bringing my children home.”
Officer Peralta smiled and replied, “It’s our duty, no need to mention it. Just keep an eye on the Healys. They might harm the kids out of anger.”
River nodded. “I’ll be cautious. Thanks for going out of your way.”
After the police officers departed, River led the children upstairs with a stern expression. She examined them closely in the room. “How do you plan to explain today’s incident?”
The triplets sat on the floor with their legs crossed, too afraid to utter a word.
River’s anger flared. “It’s evident that this situation was deliberate on your part. However, I
Tyler clutched his pants tightly and gathered the courage to speak. “It was my fault, Mommy! I couldn’t stand them taking Axel’s money..
Tyler proceeded to recount the Healys‘ actions to River.
River turned her gaze toward Axel, her brow furrowing. “Is that what happened, Axel?”
Axel was overwhelmed with guilt, unable to meet her eyes, but he nodded. He felt responsible for today’s incident because his siblings wouldn’t have tried to defend him if he hadn’t paid for the meal.
River let out a sigh. “Axel did it for all of you. I’m pleased you’re all sticking together, but I won’t condone unlawful actions. I hope you can grow up to be children of integrity, alright?”
Tears welled up in Liora’s eyes. “We’re sorry for what we did, Mommy. But they were really unreasonable.”
“That’s because they lack manners, and we can’t stoop to their level. They’ll face the consequences sooner or later. Besides, I told you to leave this matter to me, didn’t I?”
Tyler realized his mistake and spoke softly. “I’m sorry, Mommy. But I don’t want to give them back
12,500 dollars!”
River smiled. “Is it because I gave them the money?”
“Yes!” Tyler replied firmly.
“Alright, then return the remaining 12,500 dollars because it’s their hard–earned money.”
Liora chimed in. “But Mommy, the house and car they asked for are also your hard–earned money.”
River looked at Liora helplessly. “Lia, don’t you have faith in my abilities?”
Jade remarked, “If you stay quiet, people won’t think you can’t talk!”
Officer Peralta frowned and asked, “Are you related to these kids mother?”
“Yes, but what’s that got to do with anything?” Jade admitted.
Officer Peralta sneered. “I’m highly suspicious that you’re trying to cheat their mother out of her money based on what these two said earlier.”
The Healys were shocked and started explaining with twisted excuses.

River looked at Liora helplessly. “Lia, don’t you have faith in my abilities?”
Tyler flicked Liora’s head. “Don’t think too much. Mommy will handle everything.”
Liora, teary–eyed, glared at Tyler and accused him, “You’re bullying me again!”
As the two kids quarreled, Axel remained silent with his head down. River approached him and gave him a comforting hug.
Axel was taken aback and whispered, “Mommy..
River spoke softly. “Axel, I hope you’ll learn to say no to unreasonable requests in the future. It’s great you want to help your younger siblings, but I don’t want you to be taken advantage of either.”
River felt uneasy knowing the Healys were using her son.
Axel hugged River back and promised with teary eyes, “I won’t make you worry anymore.”
The next morning, Brandon’s loud voice woke River up.
She quickly got ready and went downstairs, finding Brandon livestreaming with Jade assisting him
When they noticed her, their angry stares met her.
River pretended not to notice and headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the children. The bodyguards had already cleaned it.
Jade entered the kitchen and slammed into River’s shoulder heavily before she said, “You piece of shit!”
River paid her no mind, taking off her watch and setting it on the windowsill. She continued washing the ingredients.
Jade seethed with anger as River ignored her. She wanted to lash out at River, but her attention was drawn to the watch. She stared at it for a moment before an idea struck her. “Your watch looks really nice. How much did it cost?”
River replied casually, “It was a gift from a friend, not too expensive.”
Jade shifted her gaze to River’s necklace. “Your necklace looks pretty pricey too!”
River placed the bread in the toaster and said, “It’s alright.”
Jade was frustrated by River’s reluctance to reveal the prices. She discreetly snapped a few
Upon returning, she approached Gregory and asked, “Greg, can you find out the brand of this watch and if it’s expensive?”
Gregory took the phone and quickly searched for the watch. His eyes widened in shock. “Wow! This watch is worth 32,000 dollars!”
Jade hadn’t expected it to be that expensive. She had assumed it only cost a few thousand dollars. Her interest was piqued. “Greg, I have to get that watch from her! We need to recover the 12,500 dollars she took from us somehow!”
Gregory asked, “How do you plan to do that?”
