Daniella’s smile faded. River is undoubtedly skilled. She has attracted a lot of attention. I will tarnish River’s reputation one day!”
At 830 p.m., River returned home with her children, but the Healys were still not back. The unusual tranquility comforted the children.
River accompanied them upstairs to get ready for bed.
Liora asked, “Mommy, are they not coming back?”
Before River could respond, Tyler chimed in. “No, they just haven’t had enough fun yet.”
Liora pouted. “Mommy, will that annoying kid be sent to our school?”
“Don’t jinx it.” Tyler couldn’t even bear to think about it. Gigi disgusted him. If he had to spend all day with her, he’d rather hang out with his scumbag father.
River assured them, “No, they won’t. I’ll find a way to prevent it.”
Liora sighed in relief. “Great. Mommy, you don’t have to tell us stories tonight. Just go and rest.
River chuckled. “Alright, I’ll head to my room now.”
After kissing their foreheads, she left the bedroom.
Once the door closed, Liora approached Tyler and said, “Ty!”
Tyler narrowed his eyes and asked, “What’s up?”
“I overheard the teachers gossiping today. After something happened to Mommy’s company, that mean woman started her own company! They even said her new company will thrive while
Mommy’s company is struggling. Is it true
At the mention of Daniella, Tyler’s eyes shot open in the darkness.
Tyler scoffed. “Hmph! She thinks her company can take advantage of this situation and succeed?
Dream on!”
Liora inquired, “What are you going to do. Tyler?”
“You’ll find out soon enough. It won’t be long.”
At 10:00 p.m. that night, Jamie had just finished her shower on the third floor. She could hear loud footsteps and conversations outside.
“Mom, I can’t believe dinner cost over 1,000 dollars, We should’ve eaten with River if we’d
“Alas, you’ve been talking about that endlessly,” Jade remarked. “I didn’t expect a meal to be so expensive. The shops in the city are ruthless.”
Gregory suggested, “So, you should listen to me. Let’s go out to eat with them tomorrow. It’s free. We can spend the money ourselves.”
we shouldn’t spend it. We have to save it. Since we’re living here, she should pay for our expenses. I’ll make her buy us a house eventually,” Jade insisted.
Brandon chimed in. “Mom, what a great idea! Large, flat houses are popular in the city. We should check them out.”
Jade nodded. “Sure, let’s check them out.”
When Jamie overheard their conversation, she clenched her fists in frustration, thinking, ‘No! River is in trouble. I must help her!”
After River finished her bath downstairs, she called Neil.
Neil answered, “River, are you still busy at this late hour?”
River pinched her brow in exhaustion and replied, “No, I’d like to ask for your help with something”
Neil put down his document and smiled. Tell me about it.”
River explained how Alex had inquired about her two children’s whereabouts at the factory.
Neil fell silent briefly, then said, “This isn’t difficult. I can forge the death certificates. But you need to consider the consequences. Will Noah be upset if he finds out?”
“I’ve already made up my mind,” said River. “At least the De Marco family won’t take my kids.”
Neil replied, “Okay. I won’t say much since you’ve decided.”
River sighed softly. “Neil, I know this isn’t fair to you, but I don’t have any other options.”
“Silly girl, don’t say that.” Neil chuckled. “Alright, it’s getting late. You should get some rest.”
At the same tine, Alex poured a glass of wine and pushed it toward Noah at a rooftop bar.
Looking at Alex gloomily, Noah asked, “Aren’t you keeping a woman’s company tonight?”
Alex’s hand stiffened, and he joked, “Well, women aren’t as important as my buddy, but isn’t it normal to occasionally need their company?”
Noah scoffed. “What did you want to talk to me about?”
“I can’t ask you out without any important reason?” Alex sipped his wine. “But I do have something to tell you.”
“What is it?” He had a hunch it was related to River.
Alex explained, “I asked River something this afternoon, mainly about the kids.”
Noah narrowed his eyes. “What did she say?”
Alex looked serious. “Noah, your other two kids are no longer alive.”
Noah tightened his grip on the glass Coldness filled his eyes as he spoke with difficulty. “What did you just say?”
Alex sighed. “I know you’ll be furious when you hear this, but try to put yourself in her shoes.
You’re devastated even though you’ve never met the two kids.
“Now, think about River. She’s their mother, so her connection with them is deeper than yours.
How has she managed the guilt and pain for all these years?
“But I suggest you investigate the details. The death certificates can confirm whether she’s telling the truth or not.”
Noah’s expression turned grim. He pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
“Noah, it wasn’t easy for her either. Don’t let the children stop you from moving on,” Alex advised.
Suppressing his anger, Noah asserted himself. Then explain why she had two more kids with
Neil if she was so sad.”
“Maybe it’s her way of coping,” Alex suggested
Noah erupted. hurling his glass “Coping? Is her coping mechanism being with another man?”
Since Daniella could take River’s child, she might harm the others Men can’t fathom women’s jealousy!”
Noah’s hostile eyes narrowed. “I’ll investigate this.
Alex sighed. This won’t be easy‘
He had a feeling that Daniella was more complicated than she appeared and that she had a powerful backer!
What was Daniella’s role in the murder case from years ago if River wasn’t the culprit? Was she just an innocent victim?
He refused to believe that!
On Saturday, River let her children sleep in rather than waking them for breakfast. She preferred they interact less with the people downstairs. I
At 10:30 am, Liora and Tyler entered River’s room.
. River rose from her bed at the sight of her children “You’re up! How about brunch?”
Liora patted her belly. I’m hungry, Mommy‘
Tyler smiled gracefully. “You’re still chubby even after missing a meal.”
Liora scowled at Tyler. “You’re so annoying, Tyler! Always saying mean stuff!”
River picked out clothes from the closet. “Let’s think about brunch.”
Liora giggled “Can we go to Fidelio Restaurant?”
“Of course! I’ll make a reservation,” River promised.
Gigi overheard their conversation from the stairwell. She quickly descended the stairs to inform Jade about the plan to visit a family–friendly restaurant.
Brandon perked up and started searching for the restaurant on his phone. His eyes widened in shock upon discovering that an average meal cost more than 150 dollars per person. “Do you want to go?”
Gigi eagerly said, “Tve never been there before. I definitely want to go!
Brandon nodded and turned to Jade. “Mom, the average cost per person at the restaurant is 150 dollars! Should we go and treat curselves?”
Jade shot him a disapproving look. It’s only 150 dollars! That’s nothing!‘
She had spent over 1,000 dollars on a meal just last night. ‘River is really stingy‘
Nevertheless, they had previously agreed that River would cover all their expenses during their stay. Jade refused to pay for her meals and agreed to endure a more budget–friendly dining experience
Jade reluctantly said, “Sure, let’s go”
why is rivers charactewr pitting u with all the b.s. does she not have self respect???. i am frustrated with her character . why even bother pretending to be anything other a pushover spineless woman. it seem that she always plays the victim.
I agree. How could anyone put up with b.s all the time? Her character needs psychological evaluation because of how much toxicity she tends to allow in her relationships.
