Alex said, “Tell us more.”

Kenny let out a sigh “My dear River had a tough life. When I first met her, she hardly ate. She managed work and studies while raising two babies. She made sure her children ate well, but she mostly had just bread

I crossed paths with her at a fashion design contest. She offered to help me ensure a fair match for 1,500 Murician dollars. My reputation, earned through hard work, was on the line due to the competition

“Honestly, I would have paid even 10,000 Murician dollars! She made some tweaks to my design and sample outfit, causing the person who copied my work to lose the contest. From that moment, my dear River became my goddess!”

Noah and Alex fell silent.

Alex eventually grasped the meaning of River’s earlier comment. Noah’s suffering was minor compared to River’s tragic life.

Noah was consumed by quilt. He suddenly stood and walked to the washroom.

River leaned on the basin to gargle after vomiting so she didn’t notice Noah standing behind her. When she rose and looked in the mirror, she saw him with bloodshot eyes, staring at her.

River became alert and asked, “What do you want?”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Noah asked in a hoarse voice.

River was confused. “What do you mean?”

Noah’s voice quivered with sympathy as he asked, “Why didn’t you let me know about your hardships?”

River shrugged indifferently, saying, “It’s not a big deal.”

“River, I take responsibility for what happened before.” Noah’s expression was tense.

River was surprised that Noah, who was usually so proud, admitted his mistake.

“I don’t get what you mean, Mr. De Marco,” River replied.

“I can make it up to you by helping with your identity, finances, and status, but don’t blame Axel.” Noah’s tone was earnest. “You can seek retribution from Daniella, but Axel is innocent.”

River scoffed. “Do you think I want your charity? Noah, do you believe I’d take revenge on a child because of issues with Daniella? Clearly, you didn’t listen to me that night. Trust has been nonexistent between us for a long time. Please, don’t interfere in my life anymore! I never want to see you again!”

With those words, River walked away.

Noah hastily gripped her arm, asking, “How can I trust you won’t direct your anger at Daniella and your disappointment in me toward Axel?”

River was furious. “If you cared for Axel so much, where were you all this time? Is it my fault that Axel became withdrawn due to the pain he endured? Were you too blind to see what Daniella did to him? Instead of doubting me now, you should think about how you can get Daniella to make amends

She couldn’t reveal Axel was hers to Noah. If she did, Noah might confront Daniella and kill her. due to his anger from being lied to. If that happened, Daniella’s fate would be better than what

River intended.

Noah withdrew, his gaze dimmed. She was correct–his neglect had led to Axel’s current condition. It was his mistake, so blaming River for harming his son wasn’t fair.

The gathering ended without joy.

Axel brought his laptop to school on Thursday.

During their free period, Axel had Tyler review the information he had gathered.

Tyler read silently, his eyes reflecting anger. “Is this all about the problems between Mommy and

Daniella from before?”

Axel nodded. “I’m not sure if I missed anything.”

Tyler’s voice rose. “Daniella is awful How could she replace Mommy and help that awful Daddy?

She even pretended to be Uncle Neil’s sister! And she took you!”

Even though Axel was not talkative, his expression turned cold when he said. “That’s not all.”

The scene on the laptop screen changed Surveillance footage from five years ago showed up suddenly.

River entered a cafe and, within half an hour, was abducted by two unknown men. They took.

her out the back and into a black car.

Axel pulled up the car’s traffic surveillance. Its final location was the Redwood Neighborhood.

The two men swiftly brought River into an apartment complex, closely followed by Daniella

After five minutes, a man with short hair entered, smoking a cigarette.

Axel pointed at him. “He’s the murder victim, Nicholas.”

Tyler watched the footage with a puzzled expression. Half an hour later, Daniella fled the house, holding a bleeding wound

The police arrived, and they took River.

Axel hit ‘Pause‘ and said, “The surveillance footage has been deleted, and I spent quite some time recovering it.”

Tyler said solemnly, “Mommy, has been framed! Give this to me!”

Axel sent it to Tyler and asked, “What’s your plan?”

Tll make sure she ends up with nothing,” Tyler said.

A few days later, Grayson hurried to the police station. He used his connections to bail out the extremely pale Danielle.

Once inside the cat, Grayson’s voice was thick with anger. “Why did you provoke Noah again?”

Tears welled up in Daniella’s eyes. “She’s returned, Grandpa! Noah manipulated things so I’d end up in jail! The other inmates took my food and forced me to clean the toilet every single day.”

Confused, Grayson asked, “Who are you talking about?”

“River! Noah’s former lover!” Daniella spat out the words with bitterness.

Grayson was taken aback. “But isn’t she dead?”

“No, Grandpa. She’s alive and well, and Noah is sheltering her.” Daniella’s tears flowed uncontrollably.

A frigid resolve filled Grayson’s somber eyes. “A murderer faked her own death to escape justice. I won’t let her evade consequences. Don’t trouble yourself with this, Ella”

It’s useless… Daniella shook her head. “The police looked into it and found that her blood type didn’t match the murderer. There is no evidence of her being River.

“We can’t just leave it at this! Grayson’s voice carried anger. “Our family can gather any evidence we need.”

Tears streamed down Daniella’s face. “Please, Grandpa, help me. Even if you don’t want to assist me, do it for your great–grandson, Axel. Protect him. I’m really worried River might harm the child if she can’t take revenge on me.”

Grayson consoled her. “Don’t be afraid. I won’t let her succeed!*

Later in the afternoon, Noah received a call from Draco. He instructed him to return to De Marco.

Residence for dinner.

Noah reached De Marco Residence by 600 p.m. He found Draco seated at the dining table, his expression stern. Casting a quick glance at Noah, he grunted. “Why didn’t you bring Axel along?”

Noah loosened his tie and settled at the table. “Axel is having a therapy session.” “What?” Draco was taken aback, his anxiety evident. “What kind of therapy?”

Noah picked up the wet towel on the table and wiped his hands slowly. “Axel is withdrawn because Daniella abused him.”

“Daniella abused Axel?” Draco was shocked. “How could she abuse Axel when she is his mother?”

Noah glanced at the anxious Draco and said, “She hit and scolded him.”

Draco slammed the table and snarled, “I told you from the start that this woman was unworthy to be my daughter–in–law!”

Noah appeared visibly agitated. “So, what is your purpose for asking me to come tonight?”

Draco said, “Is your past mistress still alive?”

“How is that any of your business? Noah asked.

“Don’t be with a murderer and ruin our family’s reputation! You abandoned Otis project and came rushing back to Novamere because of her, right?” Draco asked sternly.

Noah was ready to speak, but the noise of approaching steps interrupted him. He glanced up and saw a middle–aged man Noah’s expression turned serious in an instant.

The middle–aged man glanced briefly at Noah before respectfully addressing Draco, Tm home,

Father.”

Draco’s face brightened immediately. “You’re awake, Casey. Join us quickly.”

Casey De Marco was Draco’s eldest and most cherished son. He was 19 years old and Noah’s half- sibling. He nodded respectfully and sat beside Draco.

Noah’s gaze toward Casey was icy.

Casey met Noah’s gaze with an equally icy look. “No need for that kind of stare.”

“And how should I be looking at you, then?” Noah retorted in a venomous tone.

He would totally shoot Casey to death if Draco was not sitting there!

His mother’s descent into madness was largely thanks to Casey. It was Draco who had sent her to a distant mental institution, where she remained out of touch for two decades.

Draco looked at Noah in displeasure. “He’s your elder brother! What’s with this attitude?”

Noah sneered. “You wanna talk attitude with me? If you didn’t spoil Casey, my mom wouldn’t be like this!”

“Your mom was the one who seduced Casey, and she got what was coming! Don’t even bring this up!” Draco cut off Noah, yelling in anger. “Casey’s coming back soon to run the company with you

Noah’s face tensed, his demeanor growing frosty. “He’s not fit for MK.”

Noah saw through Draco’s plan. Draco used him to lift MK to the global top, and he would then hand the company to his favorite son, leaving Noah powerless.

‘Dream on! If I can push MK to the top, I can bring it down too” Noah thought

“Since you’re still with that woman, I can bring your elder brother in to take your place!” Draco.

threatened “Remember, I’m MK’s boss and biggest shareholder! You won’t defy me!”

Noah let out a chilling laugh. “Give it a shot. Let’s see if I can’t fight back.

He stood and exited De Marco Residence

Noah got in his car, and Reuben, shaken by Noah’s cold manner, asked nervously. “Back to Villa

Rosa, Mr. De Marco?”
