River could no longer maintain her composure. “Isn’t all of this your own doing? Would my parents be suffering if you hadn’t exiled my father from the family due to your disdain for him? Would my brother be distancing himself from the family if he wasn’t disillusioned by your acceptance of a bitch as your Diese Hochzeiten wurden schnell unanst?ndig (18+)

granddaughter?
“You’re too proud to admit your own mistakes, so you place the blame on me! You don’t deserve anyone’s respect. You’re getting what you deserve now!”
River’s words took aback Grayson.
As he gazed at River’s angry face, he briefly saw Eleanor’s face.
He recalled how Eleanor had addressed him when she sought to sever ties with him.
She had told him that he didn’t deserve respect…
Grayson’s lips trembled, and he extended his quivering hand toward River.
“Ellie…” Grayson mumbled, his eyes reddened with tears.
River swiftly retreated.
“I’m not my mother! You don’t need to put on an act to gain my sympathy!” River retorted coldly.
Grayson snapped back to reality, his gaze once again dimmed.
Grayson scoffed. “Heh, just like Ellie…”
Grayson staggered away, and a sorrowful expression took over his face. “She said that to me before she-

left… But what good was Hugh? He was utterly useless aside from pleasing Ellie.”
Grayson sat down unsteadily. “Ellie was a clever girl, far better at managing a business than her brother!
She was meant to marry a suitable man and elevate the Xander family to unprecedented heights in Novamere. Yet, she lowered herself to be with a ne’er–do–well like Hugh! How could I find solace in giving my exceptional daughter to him?”
River’s anger transformed into pity as she witnessed Grayson’s mixture of anger and sorrow Grayson loved his daughter but loved her in the wrong way. He wanted to dictate her life with his inflexible mindset, ultimately leading to tragedy.
It was detestable, pitiful, and disgusting.
Despite all this, River felt no sympathy for him.
“My father wasn’t a deadbeat! He wanted to work hard to prove himself, but he was murdered,” River said, taking a deep breath.
“He died for his sins. She wouldn’t have died if he had agreed to divorce Ellie.” Grayson glared fiercely at River.
River retorted, “Have you ever considered that you might be the problem at this point?”
“Get Neil to come back! Grayson shouted emotionally.
River firmly refused, “I can’t do it!”
“Get Neil to come back! I want my grandson back! The Xander Group needs him! I can’t lose the Xander family’s legacy like this!” Grayson’s eyes were bloodshot.
After he shouted, he held his chest and began coughing violently, gasping for breath with wide eyes, “Stop pretending! No matter how hard you try to act, I won’t persuade Neil! River glared at him Drink 1 Cup Of This Before Bedtime And Lose 14 Kg In 2 Weeks Men Can’t Put Their Hands Off This Game resentfully.
“He–elp…”
River realized that Grayson wasn’t pretending after he weakly called out for help. Her expression.
changed, and she pressed the call bell.
Soon, doctors and nurses rushed into the room, sent River out, and began emergency treatment, River stared at the closed door, her mind going blank. Her body shook nonstop as the scene before her triggered a memory of Katie’s passing.
She felt that she had not said or done anything wrong and that he deserved what he got.
Nothing would have happened if not for him.
River thought about how she didn’t cause his death, and after composing herself, she shakily called Neil. He answered quickly, and River said, “Neil…
Noticing River’s strange tone, Nell asked anxiously, “What’s going on, River? I just arrived in Novamere.
Where are you?”
Tears streamed down her face as she crouched and hugged her knees. “Something terrible has happened Drink 1 Cup Of This Before Bedtime And Lose 14 Kg In 2 Weeks Men Can’t Put Their Hands Off This Game to him, Neil…”
Neil said, “Who?”
“Your grandfather. I didn’t say anything wrong, but I was only telling the truth,” River cried in fear.
“River, don’t be scared. I’m coming now. Wait for me!” Neil reassured her.
Twenty minutes later, Neil rushed out of the elevator. He felt a sharp pain in his heart when he saw River crouching and shaking.
He approached her, lowered himself, and held her cold hands, saying, “River?”
River raised her head in a daze, and Neil noticed her swollen eyes. “What happened?” he asked.
River explained the earlier incident in detail. Neil’s expression soured slightly, “Grandpa has… heart failure, and he was recently diagnosed with asthma.”
River’s eyes widened in shock, and her body continued to shake. “I didn’t mean to upset him…” She broke down and cried again, Neil hugged her and patted her back to comfort her. “It’s okay, River. You didn’t say or do anything wrong.
Grandpa is just…”
Neil swallowed and continued. “Everyone has to take responsibility for their mistakes.”
River cried loudly as she buried herself in his arms. They stayed in silence until the door opened.
Neil turned to the doctor.
The doctor sighed, shook his head, and said, “Your grandfather can’t handle any more stress.”
“How is he now?” Neil asked.
The doctor said, “He fell asleep after receiving intravenous fluid. He likely won’t leave the hospital. Spend time with him.”
River pulled away from Neil, her gaze distant.
Neil nodded at the doctor, who then left.
River said hoarsely, “Go back to the Xander Group, Neil.”
“River?” Neil looked surprised Wiping her tears, River continued. “I don’t want him haunting my dreams when he’s gone.”
Neil lowered his gaze. “Maybe I acted too impulsively.”
“I know you want him to apologize to me, but he’d rather die than apologize due to his pride, River said.
“Your personality is just like our mothers. She used to be stubborn, too.” Neil gently caressed River’s hair.
The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids Men Can’t Put Their Hands Off This Game Downstairs, Yuliana disguised herself as a nurse and strolled through the corridor. She glanced at Scott’s clinic as she walked by.
A passing nurse looked at her in astonishment. “Are you new here?”
Yuliana stopped and replied with a smile, “I’m starting at another clinic tomorrow, so I’m here today to get familiar with the hospital.”
The nurse reminded her, “Don’t hang around in your uniform.”
“Of course. I’ll change out of it shortly, Yuliana assured.
The nurse left after giving her a curious look. Yuliana followed Scott to the cafeteria at noon.
Upon observation, Yuliana didn’t notice anything unusual about Scott.
She texted Nell.
Yuliana: [Neil, nothing seems out of the ordinary with this person!]
Neil was troubled by Yuliana’s information.
Neil: [Wait for him to finish work]
The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids Men Can’t Put Their Hands Off This Game Yuliana: [I did that last night. He went straight home.]
Neil frowned.
Neil: [Did you find anything else?]
Yuliana: [No! Rest assured, I’m on it.]
Nell: [Don’t get too close]
Yuliana: [I know. I have to get back to work now.]
Outside the hospital.
Neil took River to lunch. He ordered her favorite food, but she hardly touched it, just two bites. She sipped water and asked, “Neil, any progress with our father’s case?”
The question took aback Neil. “Eat first, River.”
River sensed something amiss. “Do you already know something. Neil?”
“Please, eat. I won’t talk unless you do,” Neil urged.
River forced down two more bites.
Observing her loss of appetite, Neil sighed. “River, does Noah mean a lot to you?”
River replied, “Maybe.”
Neil looked at her closely. “Not many people knew about the bidding back then. But it was his father who pressured and convinced them to back out of the bid. Our father wasn’t easily swayed, so…”
“He killed our father?” River asked.
Neil remained silent.
“My feelings for Noah don’t matter. If his father is the murderer, there’s no future for us,” River said.
“River, this has nothing to do with Noah. He’s unaware of it,” Nell clarified.
“But it doesn’t change the fact that his father is the killer. You don’t need to try persuading me anymore, Neil requested, “River, please give me a few more days to gather the evidence. It was long ago, and the surveillance system wasn’t as advanced.”
Neil’s face soured as he mentioned the surveillance system.
“Why didn’t I think of checking the nearby surveillance footage? Even if it’s been deleted, I can have it restored! he thought.
