Fearing she might get involved, Daniella seized the opportunity to sneak out of the restaurant.

Soon, a post about two influential men from Novamere fighting garnered attention on social media.

Kenny burst into Bayview Villa, slamming the door loudly.

River and the others in the dining room were startled.

Kenny appeared excited, holding his phone.

He greeted Scott and handed the phone to the concerned River. “Look at this post, G! Noah and Nell are fighting!”

River tapped on the video clip after taking the phone from Kenny. Her expression changed dramatically as she watched them fighting ferociously.

The post’s headline read: [Shocking! Two Novamere CEOs Engage in Physical Altercation Over a Woman, Who Turns Out to Be Neil Xander’s Younger Sister!

River knew the younger sister wasn’t referring to her, as Daniella was seen in the video engaging intimately with Noah before fleeing

Kenny exclaimed enthusiastically, “I heard that Noah knows martial arts, but Neil is impressive, too! Neil usually comes across as polite and graceful. I never thought he’d get angry or into a fight!”

River tossed her phone aside and stood up, wearing a displeased expression. She said, “This isn’t the time to discuss their fighting skills, Kenny. Come with me to meet my brother!”

River glanced at Scott and the kids. “Scott, I’ll leave the children with you. I’m going out.”

Scott nodded. “Sure.”

River and Kenny headed outside. “G, where are we meeting them? Hey, slow down! Grab a jacket!”

Liora looked at Tyler with worry. “Ty, Daddy got into a fight with Uncle Neil!”

Tyler ate slowly. “Don’t get involved in adult matters”

Although he didn’t know the details and was concerned for his uncle, he realized it wasn’t the right time to interfere.

Liora glanced at Scott and whispered, “Will Daddy get hurt?”

Tyler replied, “Don’t stick your nose in it.”

“I can’t help it. I’m worried about Daddy and Uncle Neil, Liora said anxiously.

“They won’t get hurt. Be patient and finish your dinner,” Scott reassured her.

River asked Neil for his location before rushing to the police station.

As she entered the station, a chilling atmosphere engulfed her.

Noah stood across from Neil, just as she expected. The police chief stood between them, trying to mediate with a forced smile.

River approached Nell and asked with concern, “Neil, why did you get into a fight?”

Neil turned, and his stern, injured eyes softened instantly. “I told you not to come, didn’t I?” he asked softly.

River felt relieved to see that his injuries weren’t severe. “You were planning to continue after leaving the station, weren’t you?” she said,

She looked at Noah and noticed he was unharmed. Just as she was about to address the police chief, Noah’s cold voice cut in, “Don’t you care about me at all?”

His jealousy was evident to everyone present.

Kenny couldn’t resist teasing. “Your face is unscathed.”

Neil retorted, “There are other women who care about you.”

Noah told Neil, ‘Do you have to keep bringing this up?”

“Whoever fee’s guilty knows it themselves,” Neil replied coldly.

Noah remarked, “I didn’t expect you to talk in riddles in your current position.”

Neil countered, “Ever heard of ‘seeing is believing?”

River grew irritated by the quarrel and intervened, “Could you please stop arguing?”

The two men fell silent.

River turned to the police chief, saying, “Mr. Jensen, can they leave?”

River had met Doug Jensen a few times during her time working for Noah. Doug was eager to get rid of the situation, so he nodded and said, “It wasn’t a big issue to begin with. They can go.”

The four of them left the police station.

River extended her hand to Neil. “Where are your car keys?”

Neil checked his watch, “I can manage on my own. I have a business gathering tonight.”

River sighed. “Are you sure you want to attend a business gathering in your condition?”

Neil gently caressed River’s head. “Don’t worry about me. It’s important. Kenny will take you home.

Goodbye.”

River watched Neil leave, feeling helpless.

Noah walked over and asked, “Have you eaten?”

Before River could reply, Kenny interjected, “She hasn’t had dinner yet, but she was about to when I got home.”

River glared at Kenny and turned to Noah, asking. “Why did you fight with my brother, Noah?”

Noah frowned and countered, “Why didn’t you ask who started it?”

River questioned, “Wasn’t it because my brother found you with Daniella and instigated the fight? The video clearly shows it.”

Noah’s stomach twisted as he tried to explain, but River cut him off coldly, “I don’t want to hear it anymore.”

She had seen Daniella holding Noah’s hand in the footage. What more was there to explain?

Noah wanted to clarify, but Kenny intervened, “River doesn’t want to hear your explanation, Mr. De Marco.

She’s still recovering from her head injury. Don’t give her a headache.”

Noah glared at Kenny and turned away. River’s rejection was clear, and he couldn’t upset her with a bandaged head.

Suppressing his frustration, Noah uttered, “I’ll come back in a few days to explain when you’re feeling better.” He then got in his car and left.

Kenny and River returned to Bayview Villa.

Upon noticing River’s return, Scott stood up from a stack of building blocks and asked, “How did it go?”

River carefully removed her right arm from her jacket and replied, “My brother has injuries on his face.”

Scott frowned. “I didn’t expect Noah to be such a skilled fighter.”

River explained, “He’s trained in martial arts. I think my brother targeted his body.”

She walked into the living room and sat down beside the children.

Liora looked concerned and asked, “Where’s Uncle Neil, Mommy?”

River was surprised by the question and replied, “He’s busy with work, so he didn’t come home with me.”

Clutching River’s shirt, Liora softly asked, “What about Daddy?”

River was taken aback and asked, “Are you worried about him, Lia?”

Liora nodded. “He saved me, so I care about him too.”

River sighed, realizing she hadn’t thought about asking.

After spending some time with the children, Scott left.

River took them upstairs to prepare for bed and quietly left the room once they were asleep.

Liora, however, opened her eyes when the door closed. She approached Tyler’s bed, intending to take his phone, but Tyler woke up.

“You’re picking up some bad habits, Lia, Tyler remarked lazily.

Startled, Liora withdrew her hand and said, “I’m sorry, Tyler. I wanted to talk to Daddy.”

Tyler sat up, pushed the blanket aside, and patted the spot next to him, inviting her. “Come.”

Liora climbed into his bed and lay down beside him.

“Tyler, do you think Daddy’s been hiding his pain from everyone?” Liora asked.

Tyler covered her with the blanket and reassured her, “He’s not that weak. Are you worried?”

Liora looked down and admitted, “Yes, I can’t sleep thinking about it.”

Tyler said, “I’ll take you to see him tomorrow.”

Liora was surprised and asked, “Are you serious, Tyler?”

Tyler nodded, cautioning her, “But you can’t tell Mommy, and we can’t let scumbag Daddy know we’re his children.”
