“I’m sorry, Mommy. I wasn’t watching cartoons, but I had something that I wanted to do,” Tyler explained softly.
River felt more convinced of her speculation after seeing her son’s behavior.
“Ty. If you’re involved in this matter, I hope you won’t interfere a second time. I hope that my precious children can live in joy and not get involved in the dark side of human nature at a young age. You’re smart, so you should understand what I’m telling you.”
Tyler held his hands in sadness. “I just don’t want you to be sad, Mommy.”
“I know, but the adults should be the ones dealing with adult matters. If I get you involved, it you to protect me yet. Do you understand?”
Tyler nodded and said. “Yes, Mommy.
River smiled and caressed Tyler’s head. “Alright, let’s put an end to this. However, I hope that you can tell me the truth about something ”
Tyler looked up in puzzlement, “What is it?”
“How did you acquire skills that I don’t even have?”
River wondered how her son became so skilled in coding, almost surpassing even a hacker.
She thought Tyler might be into customizing computers, but she didn’t anticipate his skill to be that of a prodigy.
“I learned it from the librarian,” Tyler answered truthfully
His mother was often occupied, and their family faced financial struggles during their time in Ylesir. This meant he and his sister could only go to the library, where there was no cost.
By regularly going there, he became friends with the elderly librarian and developed a new skill. He could have gained even more knowledge, but unfortunately, his mentor died shortly after.
River felt surprised yet gratified. She was happy about her child’s exceptional abilities.
“Being skillful is wonderful, but you need to use your skills wisely,” River advised.
Tyler smirked as his mother’s criticism ended. “Sure thing, Mom!”
At Villa Rosa,
Reuben informed Noah about Daniella’s incident.
Noah’s expression turned serious, and his gaze became cold. “Why wasn’t this discovered earlier?”
“Mr. De Marco, Ms. Xander has à supporter who helped her conceal a lot of information, making it difficult for us to trace,” Reuben explained.
Noah inquired, “If her supporter is truly skilled, who then revealed this? Are you implying my well-
paid team is ineffective?”
Reuben replied, “The IP address is untraceable, and the individual who dispersed the photos at the event venue remains elusive-”
Is this the information I must hear? Inform the tech division that they will be dismissed if they fail to identify the person within three days!” Noah’s anger flared.
Reuben replied. “Understood, sir.”
“Hold on!” Noah spoke just as Reuben was about to leave,
“Is there something else, Mr. De Marco?”
“Conduct a DNA test on Axel*
Noah leaned against his chair and pondered with narrowed eyes.
Reuben was confused “Mr. De Marco, we ran a DNA test on Mr De Marco Jr. as soon as he was born. He is your biological son
Reuben came to understand the situation halfway.
“Understood, Mr. De Marco. I’ll get the hospital to verify the relationship between Ms. Xander and Mr.
De Marco Jr.!”
At Xander Residence.
Grayson gave Daniella two fierce slaps when they reached home
“You’re shameless!” Grayson yelled, full of anger and distress. “How could my daughter give birth to a beast like you!”
“Grandpa‘” Daniella sobbed. “I’ve learned my lesson. Please forgive the trouble I caused when 1
acted thoughtlessly before.”
Grayson flung his cane. “Do you believe my forgiveness can fix this? You’ve disgraced me!”
Daniella trembled uncontrollably, caught off guard by the sudden exposure at her own birthday party. The humiliation stung deeply, especially with so many heirs and heiresses as witnesses.
To make matters worse. Daniella was harshly criticized for her actions because the incident hit the headlines.
The Xanders‘ reputation took a heavy blow, and their stocks plummeted as a direct result of her actions.
Facing such repercussions was beyond her means
Anxious, Daniella spoke out. “Mistakes happen, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make amends,
Grandpa! I’m convinced someone is targeting the Xanders and me. Who else but River could it be?”
Grayson’s eyes widened. “No one would exploit this situation if you hadn’t initiated it in the first place.”
Daniella was diverting the topic of conversation with great effort.
“Grandpa, now is not the time to punish me. The public opinion will shift if we can get River to admit she set me up. We’ll get someone to post online that River photoshopped the photos and videos so we can clear the family s name
Grayson fell sile
Grayson fell silent. His murky eyes glistened with maliciousness. Is she raising two children?”
Daniella nodded. “Yes.”
Grayson said, “You’re not allowed to leave the house without my permission. I’ll take care of the rest!”
Daniella said, “Sure. Yes..”
The following morning, River checked the news immediately upon waking. Seeing the The
Xander Heiress‘ headline at the top made her happy.
River had faced online criticism due to Daniella’s actions before. Now, she wanted Daniella to experience the fear of rejection.
After scrolling through negative comments, River left her bed. She planned to discuss a collaboration contract with Ylesir’s fabric factory along with Kenny.
She was preparing to head downstairs when her phone rang. She picked up and said smilingly.” Hello, Axel.”
“I’m sorry, Mommy… Axel apologized anxiously.
River was stunned and asked, “Why are you apologizing out of nowhere? What happened, my precious?”
Axel cautiously informed River about his actions against Daniella.
River was taken aback and took a while to recover from the surprise. She could accept it that one of her sons was skilled in hacking, but both of them now?
In fact, Axel’s skills had surpassed even Tyler’s.
“Mommy?” Axel called out anxiously when he received no response.
River regained her composure. ‘I’m here, Axel… I’m really glad that both you and Tyler did this. for me. However, I don’t want either of you to get involved or hurt because of adult problems My. only wish is for both of you to be happy and safe That’s all I want.”
Axel nodded I get it. Mommy. There’s something else…”
“What is it?” River inquired
Axel hesitated. “Would you want me to prevent Daddy from discovering our relationship?”
River was confused. “Is your father planning something?”
Axel explained, “Daddy is planning to investigate my connection with Daniella.”
River was caught off guard
Noah would surely test Axel’s identity after finding out about Daniella’s betrayal, given his nature.
The test would be between him and Axel rather than Daniella and Axel.
Could it be that Noah had noticed something?
Taking a deep breath, River responded. “Axel, you’re my son. You don’t need to get involved in this matter. Even if he does find out and suspects something, he can’t force me to get a verification with you.”
She wasn’t worried about that..
On the contrary, if Noah learned about their relationship, Axel might end up spending more time with her.
“Why not do it with pleasure?‘ she thought.
Axel smirked, “Sure.”
River hung up and headed to the first floor, where she discovered her children playing with their Legos on the floor. She informed them. Ty, Lia, Ill be stepping out for a bit.”
Liora got up, tugged on River’s top to draw her near, and kissed her cheek. “Take care, Mommy. Tyler and I will behave and stay home.”
River embraced Liora. “Good girl.”
She then looked at Tyler, who was gracefully sipping from his water bottle. Ty, remember your promise to me.”
Tyler almost choked on his water. He glanced at his mother with a helpless expression. “Sure.”
As River walked away. Tyler sighed. watching her silhouette Mommy, if I didn’t intervene, how would you ever meet Axel again?”
Putting his bottle down, Tyler pondered how he needed to be more discreet next time.
At Villa Rosa.
Noah’s face turned fierce when Reuben called to inform him that the DNA test between Daniella.
and Axel showed a 0% match
Besides River and Daniella, there was no other woman he had been with, though he wasn’t sure about Daniella.
If Axel wasn’t Daniella’s child, then whose child was he?
Daniella had played a bold game, it seemed.
In Noah’s opinion, showing any leniency in such a situation was unnecessary.
He commanded, “Instruct the major newspapers and online platforms to keep the Daniella incident trending.”
