“Joan, are you really going to compete against a stranger?” River questioned.
“Absolutely! Just do what you need to and leave the laptop with me for the afternoon,” Joan.
insisted.
River agreed
Meanwhile, at Villa Rosa
Noah had the same website open on his laptop. He was eagerly awaiting Joan’s submission.
Alex was seated across from Noah, engrossed in his phone, and occasionally glanced over.
Noticing Noah’s distracted state, Alex asked, “What’s got your attention, Noah?”
“I’m waiting for Joan to submit her work,” Noah replied casually.
Alex was taken aback. “Are you seriously planning to compete with her? You do realize you’re entering her domain of expertise, right?”
Noah locked eyes with Alex. “I intend to use Paige’s work to challenge Joan.”
“Using Paige’s work? It is utterly incomparable!” Alex exclaimed.
Noah grinned. “Are you doubting the capabilities of my head of the design department?”
“Never! It’s just… we’re talking about Joan here,” Alex admitted.
“So, what do you suggest we do?” Noah asked, his gaze unwavering on Alex.
Alex was stunned for a moment. He found the remark to be strange.
After a long while, Alex came to realize the situation and said, ‘Are you trying to get me to buy a long…
fake votes?”
‘Fuck! When did Noah become so shameless?‘ he wondered.
“You are planning to marry Paige in the future, right?” Noah asked with contempt. “Aren’t you.
willing to make this sacrifice for her?”
Alex was rendered speechless, thinking. ‘This has nothing to do with Paige and me. Noah is me to win over Joan.”
He slumped in his seat. “Noah, has anyone ever told you how despicable you can be?”
Noah sneered. “Businessmen only care about profits.”
Alex rolled his eyes. “Fine. I’ll spend the money to buy fake votes.”
Noah nodded. “Once the task is done, I’ll expose Paige’s identity intentionally. Her value as a fashion designer will skyrocket with all those votes, benefiting her.”
using
Alex hadn’t expected Noah to plan so cunningly. Indeed, if Paige won a fashion design competition against a world–class opponent, her worth would skyrocket. River couldn’t say anything against it since both parties were related to her.
After analyzing the situation, Alex said, “Your strategy is quite clever.”
“Clever? Joan is a top designer. Do you really think I stand a chance?”
“Of course not. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be trying to win Joan over for MK.”
“But is what you’re doing good for River?” Alex asked.
Noah’s gaze turned cold. “My relationship with River has been irreparable since my mother’s incident.”
Alex turned to Noah, concerned. “Noah, would you regret treating River like this if you found out.
she wasn’t involved someday?”
“I don’t make assumptions.”
“I believe you might regret this,” Alex stated.
“We can talk when you have evidence,” Noah replied.
Daniella got up early on Friday morning. She could not sleep because she feared River might take advantage when she wasn’t with Casey. She wondered what it would take to be with Casey for real.
If I can consummate my relationship with Casey, River won’t be able to assert dominance anymore,” Daniella thought.
Agitated, she grabbed her bag and walked out of her room, colliding with someone at the door. She exclaimed, “Watch where you’re going, idiot!”
Her expression changed drastically when she looked up and saw Greta and Yuliana. “It’s… Aunt
Greta ” She forced a smile.
Greta briefly appeared cold but quickly concealed it. “You’re up early, Ella.”
Struggling, Daniella smiled and greeted, “Aunt Greta and Yulia, you are up early too.”
“Yulia? Yuliana was disgusted but remained silent
Greta gracefully suggested, “Would you like to join us for breakfast?”
“Sure,” Daniella agreed obediently.
As Daniella was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something. “Oh right, Yulia, are you free? Can I talk to you?”
Yuliana frowned, wondering what Daniella wanted
Greta looked at Yuliana and said, “Yulia, go ahead. I’ll head downstairs first.”
“Alright.”
Daniella pulled Yuliana into the room after Greta left.
Yuliana pulled her hand away, displeased. “Don’t touch me. We’re not that close.”
Daniella scoffed. “Do you think I really want to touch you?”
Yuliana asked, “What do you want to tell me?”
Daniella said. “Help me with one more thing.
Yuliana frowned. “Why would I help you again?”
Daniella chuckled. “Don’t forget that it’s not next week yet, and your father is still idling at home.
Yuliana’s expression changed drastically. “Don’t you dare threaten me with this!”
She felt very bad for Noah when she helped Daniella and refused to allow Daniella to order her to hurt Noah
“How should I say this? You’re my cousin, so why would I threaten you?” Daniella patted Yuliana’s back. “I just can’t figure out how I can have Casey to myself, and I need you to come up with ideas.”
Yuliana was astonished. “You’re not targeting Noah?”
“I wasn’t targeting him previously either. I just want to help Casey,” Daniella said
Yuliana’s hostility was reduced. “What do you want to do to Casey?”
Daniella said, “You’re not working yet, so why don’t you help me find out Casey and River’s relationship?”
“River Healy? Isn’t she dead?” Yuliana was shocked
She had heard Neil mentioning that River was already dead!
Daniella said, “She’s alive! She faked her death!”
Noticing that Yuliana was distracted, Daniella added, “Casey and River are very close! Help me to monitor them and find out what they talk about when they meet!”
She could not leave the house casually because it would be conspicuous. Moreover, Casey would hate her for doing this if he were to find out. Yuliana was the most suitable candidate to do this.
Yuliana recovered from her surprise. So, River is the renowned CEO, Rivella Healy! I was just wondering why they look exactly the same! It turns out she is still alive!
Hold on! Why does the name Rivella sound so familiar child‘
She felt a strange feeling.
It sounds like the name of Aunt Eleanor’s
“Are you listening to me?” Daniella asked in displeasure.
Yuliana was frustrated that her train of thought was interrupted. “I heard you. I shall monitor them for you! Stop threatening my father’s matter!”
She was curious to know about River instead of wanting to help Daniella.
After breakfast, Yuliana met Greta and sat down with her in the room. “Mom, I would like to verify something with you”
Greta looked at Yuliana affectionately. “What is it?”
She asked anxiously, “Mom, what is the name of Aunt Eleanor’s daughter?”
Greta was puzzled. “Why do you ask this out of nowhere?”
“Is it Rivella Xander?” Yuliana was growing impatient.
Greta said, ‘That’s right Aunt Eleanor’s husband married into this family, so her daughter took her last name. Why do you ask?”
Yuliana did not explain but grabbed her phone and showed Greta a photo of River. “Mom, you’ve met Aunt Eleanor before. Do you think the person looks like her?”
Greta took the phone and was stunned at one glance.
Soon, she appeared emotional. “Who is this, Yulia?”
“River Healy! It’s a long story, and I’ll tell you when I have time. One thing is certain: Neil has a close relationship with River! She was brought back from death and changed her name to
Rivella Healy. She is the CEO of TYC now”
“She looks just like Eleanor!”
