River picked up a document. “Go on.”
“Tomorrow night, there’s a design exhibition in Novamere City that happens every five years.
River was silent briefly. “I don’t like attending this kind of gathering very-
an
“No!” Kenny interrupted. “Didn’t we make a nice comeback? I’m sure many people notice our company now. Don’t you want to get big orders and befriend more people?”
“That’s not the case,” River confessed. “Many people from the upper class will come to this kind of thing.”
Her imprisonment remained concealed, known to only a few, yet her fame was widespread. It was better to steer clear of such gatherings. Otherwise, any misstep might cast her company in a negative light.
Kenny noticed her complex emotions and asked with concern, “Are you worried about your past?”
“Yes,” River replied. “You should go by yourself.
Kenny’s smile vanished as he spoke seriously. “G, that won’t happen.”
“What do you mean?” River asked, puzzled.
Kenny explained, I’m certain that everyone in Novamere City is aware of your recent issues. If they intended to cause trouble, they would have done so already. But no one has mentioned it. This suggests they are uncertain about your true identity, especially since you now go by Rivella
Healy.”
River looked at him helplessly: “Why are you so insistent on me going?”
Kenny replied. “It’s because Alisa will also be there, and you still need to negotiate about the fabric. You can’t expect me to put my efforts to waste.”
“Put your efforts to waste?” River was taken aback. “What did you do?”
Kenny shrugged nonchalantly. “Alisa isn’t easily persuaded, so I had a few conversations with her to gather information about the fabric. It’s also to make amends for the plagiarism issue my team- caused.”
River felt like she had received a fatal blow. She then asked bitterly, “Your team didn’t cause our company any real loss. Why did you do that?”
She did not know what she should say to thank Kenny’s earnest sacrifices to the company.
Although Kenny was a playboy, he was strict in choosing women to satisfy his needs
All the women he was with looked like his first love. Even if the other women were pretty, he would not be interested in them..
Alisa did not resemble his first love at all, and she was at such an age.
He might have struggled hard internally before leaving Novamere City.
No wonder he lied to River that his mother was going to get married before he went abroad.
Kenny snorted. “Well, I didn’t force myself.”
River sighed. “Alright, I’ll attend the exhibition with you.”
River picked up the children in the evening.
During the car ride, Liora appeared dejected. “Mommy, I don’t want to go home.”
River felt very sorry for Liora when she saw the deep uneasiness on her face. ‘If I could get rid of them sooner, Lia wouldn’t have to be hurt.”
River touched Liora’s tender face. “Lia, don’t be scared. You’ll know when we get home.”
Liora blinked in doubt. “What is it, Mommy?”
Tyler did the same and touched Liora’s head. “Mommy must have done something to make us.
happy.”
Tyler was aware of the hot topics on the Internet, but River did not expose them. She must have wanted to give Liora a surprise.
As such, he kept silent and hid it from Liora at the moment.
But Liora was puzzled, wondering, ‘Did Mommy kill those bad guys? That’s illegal, and the police.
will take her away!”
Liora wanted to voice her thoughts but did not dare to do so. Anxiety consumed her during the journey back home.
However, her eyes widened with shock upon entering the villa,
The sofas in the living room were new, and the carpet was cleaner and prettier than before.
Their Lego building was also restored to how it was before, waiting for them to cap the roof.
Liora’s eyes brightened as she looked up at River. “Mommy, did they leave?”
River smiled and nodded when she saw Liora’s joy. “Yeah. I sent them to the police station.”
“Oh, yeah!” Liora cheered “Mommy, you’re wonderful and awesome! The bad guys are finally gone! Our home is warm and lovely again.”
While cheering, Liora pulled Tyler over to sit on the carpet and keep on building the Lego roof.
River sat on the sofa and enjoyed a brief, joyful family moment.
After that, she checked her phone calendar and looked at the date she marked in red next week.
It was Grayson’s birthday next Monday, as well as the day Daniella would fall into an abyss.
Draco ate with Casey at the hospital.
After the meal, Drago sighed. “Oh, Casey.”
Casey turned to Draco and answered respectfully, “Father.”
Draco said, “You look fine today, so I would like to clarify my doubts. How did you bump into that bastard?”
Casey kept his head low. “Father, that was my fault. Noah just did the right thing.”
Draco felt very sorry for Casey. “Oh, Casey, stop saying that. You did nothing wrong! You stayed abroad for so many years and made it up to him.”
A sinister light flashed through Casey’s eyes, but he smiled bitterly. “Father, stop blaming Noah. After all, he’s my brother. This time, I made a mistake because I accidentally touched a woman he likes.”
“A woman he likes?” Draco’s face turned cold. “Is it River?”
Casey pretended to be ignorant and looked up. “River? Is that her name?”
Draco scoffed. “She’s just a vixen who seduces men with her charms.”
“Father!” Casey sighed. “I don’t think she’s how you picture her to be. I bumped into her twice. She is a gentle and beautiful woman.”
Draco frowned. “Casey, did you fall for her?”
“Father, I won’t snatch the woman Noah likes,” Casey answered indifferently but exposed disappointment in his eyes.
Feeling upset, Draco clenched the cup in his hand. “She’s just a cheap and vulgar woman. Ill never allow her to be a part of the De Marco family. If you like her, you can fool her around But never dream of marrying her!”
Casey asked, “Father, what’s her relationship with Noah?”
Draco snorted. “They aren’t together, She’s just a mistress he once had.”
After that, he squinted and looked at Casey. “Casey, don’t fall for such a woman.”
“Father, I’m sorry, but I may let you down,” Casey whispered.
Draco snarled, “There are so many women in the world! Why can’t you forget about that vixen?”
“Father, I don’t believe in love at first sight either, but this is the truth. I’ve fallen in love with her and want to pursue her.”
“She has kids!”
“I can grow to love them, too.”
Draco was astonished. What is so great about River? Why have my two sons fallen in love with her?
Still, his heart softened when he saw Draco’s stubborn and serious look. He felt he had treated
Casey unfairly, so he could compromise if Casey did like her.
“Fine. You can do whatever you want. That woman is tough. You’ve got to work hard.”
sey bent over slightly. “Thank you, Father.”
But coldness rose in his eyes when Draco was not looking.
The following day.
As River drove the children to the kindergarten, she got a call from Paige. She picked it up and heard Paige’s excited voice. “River dear, you’re famous!”
River smiled and asked, “Aren’t you a bit slow? Or did you forget about your friend after getting a boyfriend?”
“How annoying!” Paige scolded. “Am I that kind of person?
“Oh, yes. You’re going to attend the exhibition tonight, right? I heard that many renowned designers will attend it too!”
River asked in answer, “Will you go, too?”
“Yeah! Paige answered excitedly. ‘I always attend exhibitions. Do dress up nicely at night. Maybe you can even get a handsome man home.”
