Lily sympathized with the children and tried to mediate. “River, it’s good that the children are home. Don’t nag them anymore. Ty and Lia must be hungry. Let me make you all some food, alright?”
“Yes!” Liora chimed in. “I’m starving!” She playfully pinched her belly.
Then, she turned to River and continued. “Mommy, Axel’s Mommy is so fierce. She scolded and hit Axel, so Tyler complained to Axel’s Daddy! Then, Axel’s Daddy came home quickly and got rid of the bad woman!
“Also, Axel’s father was very stingy. He tried to get your name by offering me cotton candy! Does he think I can be deceived or something?”
River was terrified upon learning that her children had encountered Daniella and Noah
In fact, the children had even witnessed the abuse,
‘Hold on” she thought.
River snatched Liora from Kenny’s arms, inspecting her closely with a trembling voice “Lia, did she see you? Did she hurt or scold you?”
She then turned her attention to Tyler. “Ty, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, Mommy. She didn’t see us,” Tyler reassured.
Seeing his mother’s anxious expression made him feel uneasy.
Liora questioned in confusion, “Mommy, why would she hurt us if she doesn’t know us?”
River’s movements froze, panic evident in her eyes. Nevertheless, she managed to compose herself and desperately tried to explain, “I’m just worried she might treat you the same way…”
Tyler immediately sensed his mother was not being truthful.
‘Mommy is lying,‘ he thought. ‘There seems to be some connection between Mommy and that woman.‘
He wanted to know if Daniella had done something bad to River, and he vowed not to let her get away with it. No one was allowed to harm his beloved mother.
Later that night.
After River had showered the children and told them bedtime stories, Tyler got out of bed when he heard her switch off the lights.
Since Liora was already asleep, he sat before his laptop with care and sent a message to someone online.
[Go to the mailbox of No. 2 Bayview Villa at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow. Take two toothbrushes in there to do a DNA match. I want the result ASAP.]
Tyler pulled out his phone from the bottom compartment of his backpack and wired 2,800 dollars to the other party.
River was typing away on her laptop in another room when she received an email from MK.
The email contained favorable offerings from the company, with an added sentence at the end stating: [You may make requests if you feel that this is not enough.]
Upon reading it, River sneered.
She might have accepted an annual wage that amounted to a few million dollars in the past. All she needed to do was create a sample garment that would lead to millions in sales revenue.
‘Trying to recruit me? Dream on!‘ she thought.
Her reply was concise: [Not up for discussion.]
Reuben received her response promptly and quickly replied: [May I inquire if there is something you’re not satisfied with?]
River was unable to sleep, so she replied: [I’m not satisfied with your company’s owner, De Marco.
I have a grudge against De Marco!]
Noah soon learned about River’s bold reply and stared solemnly at the email.
‘This person is quite audacious!‘ he thought.
Despite this, he acknowledged her talent and capability. The more challenging it was to recruit someone, the more he felt the urge to do it to fulfill his competitive spirit.
He decided to reply to the email personally.
[MK will do the extensive marketing for your clothing line, and the brand will be under your name.
You will be given an additional 3% of the earned profits.]
River sneered as she read the email. It would be easy to establish her brand just by using G’s title.
Why would she need MK’s marketing?
Even though G’s brand would not be as popular as it was abroad, she would be able to develop it
She wanted to make a name for herself. Otherwise, how would she seek revenge against Daniella?
River replied: [Not up for discussion.]
She turned off her laptop, washed up, and went to bed soon afterward.
Noah had trouble sleeping after being infuriated by her arrogance.
On Monday, River got up early to send the children to school after spending the weekend with them.
River did not want Lily to send and pick up the children. After all, Lily and Noah knew each other.
However, River did not know that Tyler knew everything she was hiding.
Liora pouted and contemptuously said, “Are you sure that the man is really our daddy, Tyler?”
She did not want a father who was engaged to another woman and had a child. She was convinced that her mother left with them after learning about her scumbag father’s affair.
Tyler held the DNA match report in his hand–the result was well within their expectations.
The fact he looked so similar to his scumbag father and his mother’s emotional reaction toward
Noah had proved to be fishy.
However, he did not wish to reunite with his father yet because Noah was too foolish not to realize their existence.
Also, Noah had actually regarded River as the mistress.
Tyler hated and despised him for doing that.
He suddenly smirked when he figured out a way to deal with Noah!
Noah sneezed on his way to drop Axel off at school.
Axel looked at his father and said softly, “You should take medicine for the cold.” Noah caressed his son’s head. “I’m fine.”
Axel fell silent and averted his gaze.
Noah found the atmosphere in the car oddly oppressive and quiet. Although he didn’t spend much time with Axel due to his busy schedule, he could sense that something was off after Axel met the two children yesterday.
Axel appeared distant, speaking and smiling sparingly, and even his voice sounded deep and dreary.
Noah used to think Axel’s personality resembled his own in the past, but now he realized that Axel’s introversion might result from Daniella’s abuse.
Noah’s expression turned serious as he realized that Axel might need professional help from a psychologist.
If his son was indeed facing psychological issues, he would make sure Daniella faced the consequences of her malicious actions.
Just then, Noah’s phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.
The person on the line immediately said, “Mr. De Marco! Someone hacked into our company’s network!”
Furrowing his eyebrows, Noah replied coldly, “Take prompt action to repair the damage instead of calling me!”
The programmer seemed hesitant as he spoke, “Mr. De Marco… I… I’m going to send you the details on WhatsApp.”
A photo arrived on Noah’s phone. His expression turned grave as he saw the message displayed on hundreds of office computers.
[Is this all you’ve got, MK? I cracked your network key so easily. Come and exchange your company’s confidentiality with money.]
A doodled smiley face and a QR code accompanied the message.
‘How dare someone challenge me so fearlessly?‘ Noah thought.
Soon, the programmer sent a video clip.
Noah played the video clip of a sentence popping up on the computer as soon as the programmer typed a code.
[Do you think you can crack my code?]
Noah was livid.
He picked up his phone and snarled, “I hired a bunch of top–notch hackers at a high price, this all you can do? Leave if you still can’t solve the issue in 12 hours!”
Axel cowered subconsciously when he heard Noah’s shout.
Daniella had deeply scarred him.
Axel’s action caught Noah’s attention, so he turned to look at Axel subconsciously.
He appeared visibly guilty and softened his voice. “I’m sorry for losing my temper in your presence, Axel.”
Axel shook his head cautiously.
Noah noticed his son looking at his phone and suddenly remembered that Axel was not interested in anything other than coding.
“Axel. can you track this hacker’s IP address?” Noah asked.
Axel looked down and said softly, “I’ll try…”
He pulled out his laptop, logged into MK’s network, and typed codes. In less than 20 minutes, he cracked the hacker’s code and strengthened the firewall. Then, he traced the hacker’s IP address.
‘Bayview Villa?‘ Axel was stunned.
