As she looked at Daniella’s tear–streaked, red and swollen face, her resentment seemed to subside.
She clenched her jaw and stood up, still gripping Daniella’s long hair tightly.
Turning around, she stared at Noah with cold eyes. “What’s the matter? Do you feel sorry for her?”
“Noah! Noah, save me. She’s gone crazy. She wants to kill me.”
Daniella clung to her hair, pleading for Noah’s help incessantly.
Noah swiftly approached and firmly grasped River’s hand, forcing her to let go.
“Why did you slap her?” Noah interrogated, his tone icy.
River, devoid of expression, locked eyes with him. “I slapped her because I felt like it. Why? Do you want to slap me on her behalf?”
She took a step closer to Noah.
“I’m right here, in front of you. Go ahead and seek revenge for her. Do whatever you want. I won’t resist. After all, I almost died. I fear nothing now.”
Noah narrowed his eyes coldly.
“River, can’t you speak sensibly?”
“No, I can’t!” River defied him. Slowly, she extended her finger, pointing at Daniella. “Get her out of my sight. Otherwise, I’ll slap her every time I see her.”
The air around the man turned gid due to her words.
Meanwhile, Lily was terrified, trembling uncontrollably. She hurriedly stepped forward, attempting to persuade Noah. “Sir, please don’t blame Ms. Healy. It was my fault. I failed to address Ms. Love as
Madam, so she slapped me. Ms. Healy did this because of me. Sir, please let
Ms. Healy off the hook.”
Upon hearing Lily’s words, Noah looked at her red and swoll flickered in his eyes.
face. A hint of sinister intent
In response, Daniella panicked. She clutched her face and explained, “No, Noah. I accidentally slapped…”
“Enough!” Noah coldly cut her off.
“I’ll have the driver take you back to International Residence immediately.”
Daniella stared at Noah in shock, her words faltering. “What did you say?”
Noah tilted his body, his gaze aloof. “Do you need me to repeat myself?”
Daniella’s lips quivered, her face filled with grievances, “But River slapped me.
“Don’t test my patience.” Noah interrupted her once again.
Anger surged within her.
Daniella continued to assert her dominance, interrogating Lily. “Have you forgotten how you should address me?”
Lily held her face, her eyes turning scarlet as she hastily apologized. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Ms.
Love. It’s my fault…”
River interjected forcefully, “You did nothing wrong!”
She pushed the blanket aside and dragged her weary body out of bed. Stepping forward, she approached Daniella with a cold expression. “Apologize to Lily!”
Daniella was taken aback by River’s icy and stern gaze, taking a couple of steps back in slight fear.
“Do you expect me to apologize? Dream on!”
In a swift motion, River extended her hand, gripping Daniella’s long hair tightly. With great force, she made Daniella bend over, eliciting a scream of pain.
River’s eyes burned with deep anger. “I’ll ask you again. Are you going to apologize?”
“No, I won’t. River, how dare you do this to me! My grandpa won’t let you get away with it! Ah…)
River firmly grasped Daniella’s long hair and forcefully slammed her to the floor. She then swiftly straddled Daniella’s body and delivered a series of slaps.
“I told you to apologize. Now!”
River continued to slap her, unable to contain her rage. In the midst of it, Lily rushed forward, pleading desperately.
“Ms. Healy, stop slapping her, please.”
However, something seemed to possess River, preventing her from stopping. She couldn’t control herself. After repeatedly slapping Daniella, a sudden angry roar from behind broke through the chaos.
“River!”
River abruptly halted, a moment of clarity washing over her.
As she looked at Daniella’s tear–streaked, red and swollen face, her resentment seemed to subside.
She clenched her jaw and stood up, still gripping Daniella’s long hair tightly.

“Don’t test my patience.” Noah interrupted her once again.
With that, Daniella burst into tears. She hastily got up and rushed out of the room.
River sneered. It was rare to see him being fair for once.
She assumed that he would be fooled by his first love once more.
After Daniella left, Noah turned his gaze toward Lily and said, “Just go to bed.”
Worry laced Lily’s expression as she glanced at River, who nodded in response. She left the room, leaving the two alone.
“Are you done?” Noah’s voice was low as he questioned River.
River gave him a fleeting look before settling herself by the edge of the bed. Exhaustion weighed heavily on her, and she had no desire to engage in further conversation with him.
Noah pulled a chair from the side and sat down.
“You shouldn’t keep targeting her. She’s a Xander now. If the Xanders discover this, they won’t let you off easily.”
River smirked with a hint of sarcasm.
“Do you think I’m afraid?”
“I don’t care if you’re afraid or not. I just don’t want to see you becoming a target of the Xanders.”
Really, does anyone proofread these stories? The same passage has been repeated in this chapter that appeared in the previous chapter. This is becoming ridiculous.
