After inspecting the factory, it was time to pick up the children from school. River bid farewell. to Alex and headed to the kindergarten.
Once the kids got in the car, River decided to mentally prepare them. “Ty, Lia, I need to tell you something”
Liora blinked, curiosity in her eyes. “What is it?”
River sighed. “Some relatives from my father’s side are staying with us. They didn’t behave well and accidentally caused your Lego castle to collapse.”
Liora gasped. “What? Why would they ruin the castle we worked so hard on?”
Tyler’s smile faded as he listened.
“Some people lack manners, but I want you to remember something,” River advised. “You must always protect yourselves, no matter what happens. Do you understand?”
Tyler inquired, “How long will they be staying?”
River replied, “I’m not sure.”
Tears welled up in Liora’s eyes. “Mommy, they bullied you too, didn’t they?”
River embraced Liora. “I can handle myself. Don’t worry about me.”
Liora clung to her mother’s clothes, tears streaming “Ty and I won’t cause trouble for you as long as they don’t cross the line.”
River reassured them with a smile, “That won’t be necessary. Just ensure you’re safe. If they bother you, deal with them without resorting to scolding.”
Weak individuals often found themselves vulnerable to the whims of others. Fortunately, there were various ways to protect oneself.
River would never allow her children to suffer in silence.
Now that River had made her stance clear, Tyler clenched his fists, eager to see how those people would behave.
Upon arriving home, River opened the door and found Gigi parading around in her high heels.
Meanwhile, Jade had put on River’s silk pajamas and applied her mask.
Liora wasted no time, rushing over when she saw this. She confronted Gigi, “Who gave you
Gigi glanced at Liora. “So what? I put them on. What’s it to you?”
Liora clenched her fists. “Don’t you know how to show respect?”
Gigi spat at Liora. “You can’t tell me what to do!”
Liora’s body tensed. She widened her eyes and hesitated, torn about whether to wipe away that foul– smelling liquid.
River felt sorry for her daughter but was stopped by Tyler.
“Let me handle this!” Tyler stepped forward with a stern expression, pushing Gigi to the floor.
“You’re incredibly misbehaved!” Gigi protested, kicking the high heels away. “How dare you, a man, push a woman!”
“I’m not a man. I’m a boy!” Tyler retorted. “And I didn’t bully you. Can’t you see that?”
Gigi struggled to find a response as Tyler outwitted her and ended up in tears.
The commotion caught the attention of the Healys lounging nearby.
Jade quickly sat up and rushed over. “Why is my dear crying?”
Gigi pointed at Tyler. “He… He pushed and scolded me, and I couldn’t say anything!”
Jade turned her stern gaze toward Tyler. “Where did this naughty boy come from? Why are you bothering my precious daughter?”
River stepped in firmly, asserting, “If you have any issues with my kids‘ actions, I suggest you address your own child’s behavior first.”
Afterward, River led Tyler and Liora upstairs to wash up. It was necessary, given their contact with dirty things.
However, Jade intercepted her, blocking her path. “Wait! What do you mean? What did my child do wrong? Why did your rude child bully her?”
River’s gaze turned icy, and she replied slowly, “Excuse me?”
Taken aback by River’s stare, Jade stammered, “… I’ll say it again. I’m not afraid of you. Your child-”
“It’s so noisy…”
Suddenly, Jamie’s voice echoed from downstairs.
Jade trembled with fear, falling silent immediately. She turned, picked up the crying Gigi, covered her mouth, and hurriedly retreated into the washroom.
Jamie blinked in confusion, then tilted her head to observe Liora, whose eyes were red.
Concerned, Jamie approached her, her face showing irritation at the sight of saliva on Liora’s face.
“Who bullied you?”
Liora bit her lip and replied, “Madam, that woman bullied Tyler, Mommy, and me.”
Jamie stormed toward the restroom and slammed the door. ‘T’ll deal with you if you bully my babies again!”
Everyone in the living room turned their attention toward Jamie in unison.
Everyone in the living room turned their attention to Jamie.
Sensing their gaze, Jamie turned to Gregory and Brandon, glaring fiercely. They both cowered on the sofa, holding their breath.
Jamie then carried Liora upstairs, leaving River relieved and smiling. It seemed Jamie’s stern.
look was more effective than her stern words.
At night, River intended to dine out with Jamie and the kids. However, Jade intercepted her, extended her hand, and demanded, “Give me money!”
River responded coolly, “What money?”
“For food, of course,” Jade stated. “We just arrived. Shouldn’t we enjoy a nice meal? Give me the money.”
River observed Jade for a moment before agreeing, “Fine.”
She took out her phone and said, “I’ll transfer it to you. Enjoy your dinner.”
Jade’s eyes brightened at River’s straightforwardness. If she had known how easily River could be swayed, she might have asked for more earlier.
14,000 dollars! Her family couldn’t earn that much even after a year of hard work.
After transferring the money to Jade, River left with Jamie and the children. As they were on their way to the restaurant, Liora asked, “Mommy, why did you give those demons 14,000 dollars?”
River smiled and asked, “Isn’t it sometimes better to buy peace with money?”
“No, it’s not better at all!” Liora protested. “You shouldn’t have given them money!”
Tyler said, “Stop. Mommy knows what she’s doing
Liora did not believe it. She looked up at River innocently. “Mommy, is what Tyler said true?”
River nodded. “Yes, it’s true. Lia, don’t worry. I’m not such a silly person, am I?”
Liora was at ease. She threw herself into River’s arms and stopped talking.
At Xander Residence,
Daniella sat on the sofa, staring intently at her phone’s chat log, waiting for half an hour. Why hasn’t Casey replied to my message?‘ she wondered.
Just as she contemplated this, Casey sent her a text [I’m sorry, I’m a bit busy. Can we go out for dinner another time?]
Daniella put her phone down, disappointment washing over her.
This was the third time she had asked him out, and he claimed to be busy each time. Could he be married?
Daniella had finally found an exceptional man, and she didn’t want to lose him. Thus, she texted him.
Daniella: [Mr. De Marco, I apologize for my earlier rudeness. I won’t bother you unless it’s important.]
Casey: [Ms. Love, you don’t need to be so formal. I can make it next time.]
Daniella was a bit surprised. It seemed like he hadn’t rejected her intentionally.
As she contemplated this, she messaged the technician from Noah’s company she had bribed before.
Daniella: [I’ll give you 7,000 dollars. Please investigate if Casey De Marco is married or not. He’s your boss‘ older brother. Be sure to check the right person.]
Technician: [Okay, I’ll get back to you by tomorrow afternoon.]
Afterward, she checked her social media and found an intriguing post.
[What’s it like to stay in the villa of TYC Fashion’s CEO?]
Curious, she clicked on it and examined all the villa photographs. When she spotted a picture of River and her two children, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
‘River’s relatives work fast,‘ she thought.
Although Daniella had slightly led them, they had quickly moved into the villa. They might have caused River a lot of trouble.
