Axel clutched his cutlery tightly. “Why are they at your place?”
“It’s a long story. Lia wants to see you and will cry if you don’t come. Come over to my place.”
Draco spoke in a gentle tone but would not tolerate rejection.
“Okay!” Axel hung up the phone.
Axel told Noah, “Daddy, I would like to go to De Marco Residence.”
Noah was surprised because Axel was hesitant about going there and seldom asked for visits to that place.
‘Why did he change today?‘ he wondered.
“Reason,” Noah said in a deep voice.
Axel said, “Ty and Lia are there!”
Noah frowned. Why are River’s two children at De Marco Residence? Could it be that my father has regarded the two children as mine? There is no guarantee what he will do if they are not mine!
Noah’s expression turned solemn at the thought of River having a breakdown. He stood up and said, “I’ll give you a ride there
An hour later, Noah walked into De Marco Residence with Axel in a rush.
Tyler and Liora were in a standoff with Draco when they entered the living room.
Tyler and Liora were stunned by Noah’s bruises.
‘Did he beat up someone or got beaten up?‘ they wondered.
Draco’s expression turned cold when he saw Noah, “What is going on with you?” he asked sternly.
Noah refused to explain. He glanced at the children and asked, “Why did you bring them here?”
“How much longer did you plan to let your children wander out there if I didn’t bring them here?”
Draco asked, suppressing his anger.
“They are not my children!” Noah explained.
Liora clutched Tyler’s hand tightly, turned, and said softly, “Look, Daddy is not only a scumbag but also an idiot!”
Tyler did not utter a word, but he pondered as he stared at Noah’s lips.
Draco was shocked. “So, you’ve done your investigation, huh?”
Noah was about to answer when Draco scoffed. “Never thought you’d be self–proclaimed clever! Tyler looks so similar to you, yet you’re telling me that he’s not your child?”
Noah appeared agitated. “What kind of error do you think the DNA test can have?”
Draco took a sip of his coffee. “It’s not difficult for people to mislead us in fear that we’d take custody of the children. Hence, I got someone to purchase DNA testing equipment to confirm if they are the descendants of our family!”
‘Custody?‘ Noah narrowed his eyes ‘Could it be that River commissioned someone to tamper with the DNA result?‘
It was actually possible in view of her connections these days!
Noah said, “When will the report be out?”
“In two days”
“I’ll stay here with Axel for the next two days.”
“As you wish.”
After showering, Axel took photos of Tyler and Liora at 8:30 p.m. and sent them to River.
When River got the message, she felt relieved. It showed her that her children were safe.
She replied: [Why are you there too, Axel?]
Axel told River about how Tyler confronted Draco and the plan that the three of them had come up with.
River was scared out of her wits but was reassured by her children’s boldness and adaptability.
She figured she might be worrying for nothing.
Axel texted: [Wait for my update, Mommy.]
River replied: [Sure. Be safe, all of you.]
Axel and Tyler quietly left their room at midnight, tiptoed downstairs, and entered the testing equipment room.
Once they closed the door, Axel opened his laptop and connected it to the testing equipment for data manipulation.
After an hour of work, Axel shut down the laptop and announced, “We did it. Time to leave.”
Tyler nodded and snuck back to the room with Axel.
Tyler slumped against the sofa in relief when the door was shut.
Axel texted River [Mission accomplished.]
Then, he put down his phone and told Tyler, “There’s something I want to remind you, Ty.
Tyler looked up in lethargy. “What is it?”
“I can’t be sure if Grandpa has only gotten them to prepare one paternity test report.”
Tyler frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Grandpa stayed abroad for a long time previously. Axel’s reminder was simple yet impactful.
Tyler was overwhelmed. “How do we prevent this?”
Axel shook his head. “I don’t know which organization is that, but I can only pray that he didn’t do that.”
Even Tyler, skilled in tracking, found this challenging. He couldn’t locate it without knowing who had it. Checking everyone at De Marco Residence was impossible for him.
Even if he were to look into this, there was no telling if Draco had hidden a group of employees somewhere.
River felt relieved when she got a text from Axel. She then explained the situation to Neil
Neil commented, “Things seem to be going a little too easily.”
River was surprised. “Isn’t it a good thing that it’s going smoothly?”
“That’s not exactly what I’m saying
Never mind. I’ve made things too complex.”
River grasped Neil’s point. “If Mr. De Marco Sr. discovers the kids‘ background, I won’t be seeing them anymore.”
“There are other ways as well. You can be with Noah,” Neil said
“Will I only be able to see my children by being with Noah?’ she wondered.
River forced a bitter smile, struggling to let go of her past resentments
The following afternoon, Alex visited Noah at MK. He smirked the moment he entered and saw
Noah’s face.
“Noah, you’ve actually stooped so low that you got in a fight with someone? Who was the strong one?” Alex asked.
Noah looked at Alex. “You talk too much.”
Alex suppressed his smile and sat on the sofa. “Let me take a guess! Uh… Was it Neil?”
Noah’s face turned solemn. “I don’t mind meeting up with your father to have a talk if you find that you’re too bored at work!”
I’m trying to help you to strategize, you see. Stop being so heartless,” Alex said.
Noah sneered. “Do I need you to strategize for me?”
Alex said, “You don’t… of course Speaking of which, there are plenty of good quality men around.
River.”
Noah lost his patience. “Get out of here if you can’t keep your mouth shut!”
Alex raised his hands to yield. “Alright, I’m here to talk about something today.
“Go ahead”
Alex’s smile faded, and his expression turned serious. “Do you know that Casey is back?”
Noah’s gaze dimmed when he heard about Casey. “How do you know about this?”
“I saw him at the Nightfall Lounge last night. After not seeing him for so many years, I couldn’t be sure, so I took a photo.” Alex pulled out his phone.
Alex sent Noah a photo. Noah brought it up to examine, and his hand clenched on the desk.
Draco tried everything to stop Noah from locating Casey. He even spread fake news that Casey had left the country!
Noah would like to see what sort of trick Draco and Casey had up their sleeve!

Daniella stormed out of YN’s building, her face flushed with anger. She couldn’t believe how her company’s useless employees had called her for something so minor.
As she headed towards her car, cursing under her breath, she stepped on a rock with her high heels. Losing her balance, she widened her eyes in shock. Despite the panic, she found herself held in a warm embrace
“Are you alright, miss?” A mellow voice sounded.
Daniella looked up in astonishment to find a man resembling Noah.
He supported her back gently with one arm and kept a slight distance from her. He behaved like a gentleman and exuded a mature, steady charm.
Daniella’s face blushed, and she hastily stood upright before saying, I’m fine, thank you
The man said smilingly, “It’s good that you’re fine. Otherwise, it’d be bad if you fell on your face.”
Daniella looked at him in a daze. ‘T–Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. Just a small favor from me.”
The man smoothed his wrinkled suit slowly and said, “Hope to see you again.”
Daniella locked at the man’s face and called out to him beyond her control, “Hold on!”
The man turned in puzzlement and looked at Daniella.
