River’s deep fear drove her to struggle. “Who are you? Let me go!”
However, the bodyguards remained silent. One of them pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and covered River’s face with it.
River quickly lost consciousness, and the bodyguards placed her in a car.
Upon hearing the commotion downstairs, the triplets rushed down to see what was happening.
When they saw River being dragged away, they tried to chase after the car.
But the car sped away, and they failed to run after it.
Liora cried out anxiously, “Who are they? Why did they take Mommy? I want Mommy…”
Axel clenched his lips and gasped for breath. He stared at the retreating car and said, “It’s Grandpa.
Tyler’s face grew cold. “Why would he take Mommy away?”
“I don’t know.” Axel paused and then asked, “Ty, can I use your laptop?”
Tyler nodded. “Okay.”
Axel and Tyler returned to their bedroom with Liora.
Axel quickly hacked into all the surveillance systems at De Marco Residence and called Noah.
The phone rang for a while before Noah answered
Axel urgently said, “Daddy, Grandpa’s men took Mommy away.”
Noah was still at the cemetery, his eyes narrowing.
But he regained his cold demeanor when he looked at his mother’s black and white photo on the tombstone.
His voice was emotionless as he said, “What does that have to do with me?”
Then, he hung up.
Axel was dumbfounded, wondering. ‘Why did Daddy say that?”
Tyler interrupted Axel’s thoughts, noticing something was wrong with his expression. “What did he say? Is he going to save Mommy?”
Axel avoided Tyler’s gaze and hesitated before lying. “Yes.”
He believed that Noah would save River, no matter what he had said.
Meanwhile, Axel would monitor the surveillance footage. If Noah didn’t go, Axel would be deeply disappointed
River hadn’t eaten since Jamie’s accidental death, and her grief mirrored Noah’s.
At Xander Residence.
Daniella was preparing for the birthday party. She held her phone, reading online articles with at sense of confusion.
‘It’s strange. Why isn’t anyone condemning Noah’s mother? Why hasn’t anyone suspected River’s involvement? And Casey’s father is receiving
Severe criticism,‘ she wondered.
That morning, a news report about Jamie emerged, providing clear evidence she had been taken advantage of and had not seduced anyone.
Public opinion heavily sided against Draco and Casey, condemning them.
In response, Draco attempted to quell the controversy by exposing embarrassing incidents from Jamie’s past.
However, this only fueled the public’s anger, as they felt he showed no respect for the deceased.
Moreover, many vowed to boycott MK products if Casey took over, pledging support only if Noah
Daniella could not stop sneering.
“So, what if Noah refuses to let Casey have MK? Master De Marco can make use of Noah’s power. He can force Noah to give up everything he builds to Casey!
MK will only get stronger if it’s beneficial to Noah now.
‘And I can have whatever I want as long as I’m married to Casey. It’s because Master De Marco will only be biased toward Casey!‘
Gloom spread across Daniella’s face as her thoughts darkened.
It had been quite some time since Casey had reached out to her. She couldn’t help but wonder what was keeping him so busy,
Daniela’s anger flared when the stylist working behind her accidentally tugged on her hair.
She hissed in pain, and the stylist retracted her hand immediately, apologizing, Tm sorry, Ms.
Love That was unintentional.”
Daniella swiftly rose and turned toward the stylist, her intent to slap her evident.
She then exclaimed, “Are you being completely clueless? Utterly useless!”
The stylist covered her face, her eyes welling up with tears. T’m sorry, Ms. Love. I’ll be more careful.”
Daniella glared at the stylist before resuming her seat.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated.
Annoyed, Daniella glanced at her phone, and her face lit up with excitement when she saw it was a text from Casey
She eagerly clicked on it.
Casey: [My apologies. Something came up, so I’ve been hospitalized for recovery.]
Daniella was shocked.
Daniella (Are you hurt? Is it serious? Which hospital are you in?]
Casey. [Don’t worry, Ella. I saw the news. Did you leak it to the media?]
Daniella’s hands stiffened, wondering, What does he mean? Is he blaming me for this? Why didn’t he tell me earlier if he didn’t want people to know?”
She cautiously typed a question
Daniela [Mr. De Marco, why do you think it’s me?]
Casey: [Because you were the only one I confided in]
Daniella: [What would you do if it were me?]
Casey: [I would be disappointed. I confided in you because I trusted you But you disclosed it to the media without my consent]
Daniella’s heart skipped a beat.
Daniella: (Mr. De Marco, I did that because of you. You did nothing wrong. Why should you suffer in silence?]
Casey: Have you seen the public’s reaction online? They now trust only my brother.]
Daniella: [So what?]
Daniella typed rapidly.
Daniella: Mr. De Marco, reputation isn’t everything. You can silence them as long as you have the power]
Casey [That’s unnecessary, Ms. Love. It’s already done I think we should stop keeping in touch with each other.]
Panic gripped Daniella.
Daniella: [Mr. De Marco, I made a mistake. Can you give me a chance to make amends?]
Casey stopped texting her. As he leaned against the headboard of the bed, he smiled sinisterly while gazing at Daniella’s profile picture.
He then chuckled slyly. Reputation? I’ve never cared about that. I just want a woman I can control.”
Moreover, Daniella had resolved to persist in her efforts.
Casey needed to slowly manipulate her psyche if he wanted her to remain devoted.
He had anticipated this outcome all along.
Even if public opinion initially favored him, Noah would find a way to turn the tide.
Casey would be filled with boundless excitement as long as he could deal a blow to Noah and inflict pain.
This plan to torment Noah had only just begun.
At De Marco Residence.
Draco’s bodyguards dropped the unconscious River in the living room.
When River’s head hit the floor, the pain jolted her awake. She blinked her eyes open, disoriented, and saw a blurred figure seated on the sofa.
“You’re awake?” She heard an elderly voice. After a brief pause, she snapped to her senses.
It sounded like Draco.
Gradually, her vision cleared, but she still felt extremely weak.
Draco snorted. Let’s talk now that you’re conscious.”
River mumbled weakly. “Why did you bring me here against my will?”
