River smiled and asked, “Why did you choose my company when we don’t know each other? An ordinary factory can handle this task.”
Greta replied vaguely. “An acquaintance recommended you to me.”
River asked, “When do you need these clothes?”
Greta replied, “Within 30 days.”
River nodded thoughtfully and said, “That’s not a problem.”
River then asked, “What’s the approximate cost?”
Greta smiled and added, “Your company will also need to design it, so please include the design fee.”
River placed the list on the coffee table and said, “I won’t charge you for the design fee because this project is for charity, specifically to help kids in mountainous areas. How about we exchange contact information? I’ll provide you with the material cost.”
Greta observed River and asked, “But won’t you incur a loss by only charging for the material cost?”
River replied gently, “Only those unwilling to help would see it that way. I’m a mother myself, and I can’t bear to see kids of my children’s age suffering in the harsh winter. Thank you for bringing this to my attention today. I’d like to lend a hand if I can.”
Surprised, Greta asked, “How do you plan to do that?”
River replied, “I haven’t figured out the details yet, but I believe 30 days should be enough.”
Greta smiled and took out her phone. “I’m looking forward to it, Ms. Healy. Can I have your WhatsApp number?”
River shared her number, and they added each other’s contacts.
After finalizing the deal, River saw Greta off from the reception room.
Before leaving, Greta smiled gently and said, “I’ll be waiting for your contract.”
River sincerely said, “Thank you for choosing TYC Fashion.”
Daniella woke up in a guest room at Villa Foresta in the northern suburbs. Feeling dizzy, she struggled to Sit up and massage her throbbing temples. She couldn’t understand why she had been feeling so
As she leaned against the headboard, memories of the previous night with Casey flooded her mind, and she couldn’t help but frown.
Casey had repeatedly held back from climaxing, claiming he wasn’t feeling well and urging her to leave before they reached that point. Frustrated, she wanted to express her anger, but Casey would always send a servant with a glass of warm milk as an apology.
This situation left her upset and wondering if Casey might be suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Daniella pushed the blankets aside and dragged herself to the bathroom. Splashing cold water on her face helped her feel somewhat better.
She began applying skincare products in front of the mirror while pondering, ‘Maybe I should investigate whether Casey is dealing with erectile dysfunction. If that’s the case, I might need to find another man to satisfy my needs.”
Suddenly, her phone rang, and she saw it was a call from Grayson.
Annoyed, she quickly changed her expression and answered sweetly, “Grandpa.”
Grayson asked, “Ella, where have you been these past two days? Why didn’t you come home?”
Daniella cursed inwardly, ‘What’s the big deal? This fucking old man! Why does he insist on meddling in my business?‘
She gritted her teeth and suppressed her disgust. ‘Grandpa, I’m at a resort with a few young ladies and will be home tonight.”
“Do you have enough money? If not, I’ll give you more,” Grayson added.
‘Of course, it’s never enough! I spent so much for that fucking Axel!’ she cursed inwardly.
“Thank you, Grandpa. You’re the best, and I love you the most!”
Joyful, Grayson repeated, “Okay, don’t forget to come home tonight for dinner. I’ll instruct the chef to make your favorite dishes.”
Daniella forced a smile. “Okay, Grandpa.“
Yuliana changed her appearance before heading to the hospital.
After asking around and finding out Axel’s ward, she took an elevator to go upstairs.
As she reached the floor, Noah and Alex were leaving the ward, accompanied by two doctors and a few nurses.
Yuliana had just stepped out of the elevator. She lowered her cap, adjusted her sunglasses, and then sat on a nearby bench, pretending to play with her phone.
Richie told Noah, “I recommend shaving his head in the next two days, Mr. De Marco. Otherwise, it might cause him great trauma when he starts losing his hair later.”
Although Noah was exhausted, he remained composed. “That’s not a problem. But how can we stop his vomiting?”
“He’s still weak and can’t receive an injection for that, Mr. De Marco. Besides, he needs surgery later this week.”
Noah’s face showed displeasure. “Have you managed to find the bone marrow?”
Uneasily, Richie replied, “We’ve been keeping an eye on the bone marrow bank and contacting various hospitals, but we haven’t found a match…”
Noah pursed his lips. “Keep contacting other hospitals.”
“Okay,” Richie replied, feeling helpless.
After Richie left, Alex turned to Noah. “Have you tried inquiring in the black market?”
Noah replied, “You think I haven’t?”
“Still no luck? Have you considered offering a high price to buy it?” Alex suggested.
“The main issue is that I haven’t found suitable bone marrow for Axel,” Noah said.
Alex leaned against the corridor wall. “It seems that money can’t solve everything in the world.”
Noah looked down, appearing helpless.
This scene deeply saddened Yullana. She wanted to help but didn’t know how. She was completely unfamiliar with the black market, let alone how to contact them. She decided to text Daniella about the situation.
Daniella received the text and couldn’t help but smile.
Noah, who seemed to have everything in Etes, was now in such a helpless situation. It was strangely satisfying.
River instructed Eira to pick up the children from school in the evening, accompanied by the bodyguard.
After making the call, Scott contacted her. “Are you done with work?”
River grabbed her bag and folder. “Yes. Are you on your way?”
“I’ll be there in about 15 minutes. It’s chilly outside. Just wait for me at the office,” Scott replied.
“Sure.”
She then called Neil.
Neil answered quickly. “River, are you heading there now?”
River left her office. “Yes. Scott is on his way to pick me up, and we’ll leave in about 15 minutes. What about you?”
“I can leave anytime,” Neil said. “I’m ready with the evidence to expose her.”
“I’ve prepared a set just in case.” After a brief pause, River asked, “Is Daniella at home?”
“I asked the servant, and Grandpa requested her presence for dinner,” Neil answered.
“Alright, you can go there first.”
“Sure, text me when you’re nearly there, and I’ll come to the door to meet you,” Neil said.
River ended the call, walked to the elevator, and pressed the button to go downstairs.
Finally, the time had come to confront Daniella face–to–face and resolve their ongoing conflict.
At 5:40 p.m., River received a photo from Eira, confirming that the children had been picked up.
River: [Thank you.]
Twenty minutes passed, but Scott still hadn’t arrived. She called him, but he didn’t answer. Her heart skipped a beat, and she called him again
Scott’s lack of response left River restless, prompting her to leave the company and wait anxiously outside.
December’s early nightfall brought bone–chilling cold even to those bundled in thick clothes.
While holding her phone, River’s hand froze in the biting wind. She called Scott once more.
After some time, someone finally picked up. River began, “Sco-”
A strange voice cut her off. “The phone’s owner had a car accident! Are you his family? We’ve called 911!”
River’s hand trembled at the news. She stammered, “W–Where is he?”
Her eagerness to descend the stairs was quelled as her legs went limp, causing her to tumble.
The loud thud alarmed her nearby employees.
“Ms. Healy!” They rushed over to help her up.
Once steady, River nervously said, ‘I’m okay. Help me locate my phone.”
“Here!” An employee handed it to her.
She revealed her wounded palm, causing them to gasp.
“Ms. Healy, your hand…”
Ignoring her injury, River focused on her phone again.
The stranger’s voice still echoed.
River suppressed her panic and asked, “Can you tell me where he is now? Is he seriously hurt?”
“Biriv Street! He’s unconscious, but we’ve rescued him from the car.”
River’s panic intensified. “Thank you! I’ll come now.”
She hung up and hurried to the scene of the accident.
Ten minutes later, she arrived amidst the commotion. Pushing through the crowd, she spotted Scott’s overturned car and another badly damaged vehicle, with police officers taking notes.
River approached an officer and asked, “Excuse me, was the driver of the white car taken to the
The officer glanced at her. “Who are you?”
“I’m a family member of the white car’s driver,” River explained.
“Yes, he’s been sent to the hospital. He woke up after a brief coma and appeared to be okay. He’s at Novamere Hospital.”
Relieved, River sighed deeply. “Thank you. Is there anything else you need from me here?”
