It was not unusual for children to hold grudges against their mothers and refuse to acknowledge them.

After class, River picked up her children and got into the car.
However, she wanted to wait for Noah before leaving
Liora pointed in Noah’s direction, but Tyler quickly covered her mouth to stop her from speaking.
Confused, River looked at them through the rearview mirror and asked, “What’s going on?”
Liora immediately shook her head and giggled. “Nothing, Mommy. Tyler and I are just playing.”
River smiled and said, “Alright, stay seated. We’re going home now.”
Noah noticed the redness in Axel’s eyes inside the Maybach and frowned. Concerned, he asked,
Axel, were you bullied in kindergarten?”
“She wanted to take me away,” Axel replied briefly.
Noah soon understood who Axel was referring to
Although he hadn’t resolved things with Daniella yet, he knew she was acting audaciously.
Noah dropped Axel home and then asked Reuben to find Daniella’s location before rushing over to confront her
Daniella was complaining to Grayson at Xander Residence about how Noah had prohibited her from seeing Axel.
Grayson’s face turned livid as he spoke. “It’s been five years. I held myself back when he canceled the marriage. But now he stopped you from seeing your child.”

him so much. Why would I hit him?”
“There, there. I know your temper,” Grayson comforted her, feeling sorry for her. “You’re so loving.
Of course, you’d never hit a child.”
Daniella sobbed. “Grandpa, I’m so sad…”
“I’ll call him now.

Two bodyguards rushed in, grabbed Daniella forcefully from the sofa, and dragged her toward
Noah
Grayson stood up abruptly and screamed at Noah, “What the hell are you doing?”
Noah ignored Grayson and gestured to Julian. “Hit her.”
Julian nodded and approached Daniella, delivering a harsh slap to her face.
Dizzy from the blow, Daniella screamed and begged for mercy, “Noah… Ah! Don’t hit me. It hurts so bad–Grandpa, help me. Save mel
“Noah, stop!” Grayson rushed forward, attempting to pull Daniella back to him.
But Reuben stepped in, blocking Grayson’s path. He raised a tablet and showed Grayson a picture of Axel’s red face from the slap
Grayson was struck dumb when he saw the terrifying mark on Axel’s face.
Wide–eyed, he pointed at the tablet and stammered, “T–This._”
Noah glanced at Grayson coldly and asked, “How should we settle this?”
Grayson’s lips twitched and he spake firmly. Tm sure it’s not Ella She’s kind, gentle, and considerate. She would never hit kids.”
Noah anticipated Grayson’s response and motioned to Reuben, who played a video.
The video showed Daniella hitting Axel hard with a rolled up magazine before the maid and nanny in the living room.
Grayson’s heart skipped a beat as he witnessed her actions and saw her hideous face
“Do you still want to defend her?” Noah’s face turned ferocious, and he strongly wanted to harm
Daniella
Grayson knew letting her off easily wouldn’t be right.
His face grew stern, and he pushed Reuben away, walking up to Daniella.
Without saying a word, Grayson slapped her twice, his anger evident.
Daniella was already feeling dizzy. She staggered from the force of the slaps, looking at Grayson. in disbelief. Her voice trembled as she said, “Grand Grandpa?”
Grayson barked, “How berserk! He’s your son!”
Overwhelmed with emotions, Daniella pleaded, “Grandpa, I made a mistake. I lost control of myself. Please, send me to a mental hospital I’m so depressed that I’m about to go mad!
“I can’t control my emotions… You know that… Noah grew colder toward me after I gave birth to the child. I’m a woman, and I need my husband’s love-
Disgusted, Noah interrupted, “Who is your husband? I don’t mind helping you if you can’t zip it‘
Daniella immediately fell silent.
Although Grayson felt disappointed with her, he couldn’t bear to see his granddaughter humiliated. He gnashed his teeth and composed himself, then looked at Noah. “T11 apologize to your family on Ella’s behalf/
“I didn’t teach her well and made Axel suffer.
“I’ll never let her step foot into Villa Rosa as well as the De Marco family.”
Noah snotted. “Well, let’s talk about the loss my company suffered after Daniella got a hacker to hack into our system.
Daniella was stupefied. She never hired a hacker.
But no one would believe her no matter how she explained herself now.
At Bayview Villa.
River was about to play with her children when there was a knock on the house’s door.
Lily went to open the door and was surprised to see a face that greatly resembled Noah’s. She asked, “Who are you?”
Axel nervously pursed his lips and looked at Lily. “Is this Tyler’s house?”
“Yes.”
“Ms. Smith, who is it?” River called out from inside.
Lily responded, and soon, Liora ran over without wearing slippers.
Seeing Axel, she exclaimed, “Axel, why are you at my house? Are you here to play with me?”
Lily was stunned, thinking, Is this Mr. De Marco’s son?‘
River and Tyler got up, walked over, and invited Axel inside.
Axel couldn’t help but size up the warm decoration of the villa. Their house was different f his.
River squatted before Axel and asked, “Boy, why did you come over on your own?*
Axel clasped his fingers anxiously, trying to find the right words to explain.
Understanding Axel’s dilemma, Tyler stepped forward to help him. “Mommy, don’t you think Axel and I look alike?”
River was puzzled by Tyler’s words and said in a daze. “Yeah, I know.”
“Mommy, did you know that Axel isn’t the wicked woman’s son?” Tyler shared some shocking news.
River’s mind went blank. What does he mean he’s not her son? Wasn’t Daniella pregnant at that time?‘ she thought
River asked with a frown. “Ty, what do you know?”
Tyler’s face lit up with a smile. “Mommy, why don’t you do a maternity test with Axel?”
River’s breathing became chaotic Why should I do that? What do they know? What are they keeping from me? Didn’t my first child die in childbirth?”
River felt nervous, and her eyes turned red.
She pointed toward Axe with a trembling hand, her voice hoarse. “Are you my child?”
She couldn’t bring herself to acknowledge him
After five years, she finally started healing from the pain of losing her child. Now, her children were telling her that her other child was right before her.
She felt like she was in a dream and couldn’t gather her thoughts.
River’s drastic reaction surprised Axel. He regretted not breaking the news to her more gently.
It seemed she had received a devastating blow.
Liora reached out and hugged River’s neck, comforting her tenderly. “Mommy, please don’t cry.
I’ll comfort you.”
Liora’s voice helped River regain her composure.
