The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids Alex chimed in. “Just sit. Let me handle it.” He fetched some cups and poured warm tea for everyone. After distributing the drinks, he joined River, Noah, and Paige.
Alex raised his cup and proposed, ‘Let’s toast and wish for a wonderful and peaceful life!” The four of them clinked their cups together.
As they enjoyed their tea, River’s cold discomfort gradually melted away.
Holding her cup, Paige gazed at the city’s lights and sighed with emotion. “Wouldn’t it be great if we could be this happy every day?”
River chuckled and agreed, “Indeed, it would be wonderful if we could always have such days.”
The idea of spending a peaceful life with a partner, free of arguments and hardships, appealed to her.
Unfortunately, River couldn’t have known that such nights would become a rarity in the days to come.
After descending the stairs, River and Paige took the children back to their room while Noah and Alex chose to linger at the resort’s bar for a drink.

Noah was rendered speechless by this assertion.
Neil and Yuliana returned to Xander Residence after their dinner outing. Neil’s phone rang as they headed upstairs, and he promptly answered when he saw the caller ID.
His assistant reported, “Mr. Xander, we’ve interrogated the individuals who participated in the bidding that year.”
Neil settled on the sofa and asked, “What did they say?”
“They confirmed their participation in the bidding, but they withdrew after facing threats from Dracol De Marco. Following their withdrawal, those few companies experienced a decline.”

Neil frowned and asked in a chilly tone, “Are you absolutely certain?”
“Yes,” his assistant replied. “The testimonies from those people all match up. I even brought a psychologist as you requested, and the psychologist confirmed they seemed truthful.”
“Ask them how they were threatened,‘ Neil instructed.
“Okay, Mr. Xander.”
“Wait.” After a moment of thought, Neil said, ‘Text me the address. Im heading over.”
“Okay.”
When Neil received the address, he packed a change of clothes and left his bedroom. As he descended the stairs, he ran into Thomas.
Noticing Neil’s departure, Thomas asked, “Neil, where are you off to?”
Neil said seriously, “Uncle Tom, I’m going to meet the individuals who participated in the bidding with Dad The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids Men Can’t Put Their Hands Off This Game in the past.”
After a brief pause, Thomas asked anxiously, “Have you found any leads?”
“Yes,” Neil confirmed.
“Who were they? Thomas asked.
Neil answered, “The De Marco family.”
“The De Marco family?” Thomas turned pale and took a step back. “Could they have been responsible for your father’s harm?”
“It’s very likely! I’m going now, Uncle Tom.”
“Neil!” Thomas stopped Neil and advised, “Please take good care of yourself. If it indeed was them, and if Draco learns of your investigation, he might-“
“Uncle Tom, don’t worry,” Neil interrupted Thomas, reassuringly smiling.
Daniella held a scalding tea glass while standing before Draco at De Marco Residence. However, Draco.
seemed disinterested in accepting the tea and instead focused on his phone.
Daniella bit her lip hard, shifting the glass from hand to hand. The pain in her fingertips nearly drove her to the edge.
“You can’t even handle this tea glass?” Draco suddenly glanced up at Daniella.
The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids Men Can’t Put Their Hands Off This Game Tears welled in Daniella’s eyes. “But it’s incredibly hot. May I set it down for a moment?”
Draco snorted. “You can’t endure this minor discomfort. How can you ever be my daughter–in–law?”
Frustrated, Daniella felt that her qualifications as a daughter–in–law had nothing to do with her ability to hold a tea glass.
“Fine, you can put it down, pack your things, and leave,” Draco said, still engrossed in his phone.
Enraged, Daniella burst into tears. “If you find me undesirable, you can tell me honestly. I can change, but please don’t mistreat me.”
“Mistreat?” Draco laughed. “I gave you my dearest son, yet you can’t even hold a tea glass properly. How will you take care of my son in the future?”
Daniella wanted to retort by asking if Casey had no hands or if there were no servants in the house. However, she knew it would only anger Draco further.
Tearfully, she implored, “I have blisters on my hands now. How can I look after Casey then?”
“Will blisters kill you?” Draco asked indifferently.
Gritting her teeth, Daniella shook her head.
“You shouldn’t complain. You’re my daughter–in–law,” Draco said, and then he summoned his butler.
Bernard arrived, asking, “How may I assist you, Master De Marco?”
Draco stood up. “Make sure the tea in her glass stays hot, and watch her hold it until Casey returns home.”
Daniella’s eyes widened–she knew Casey was at a social gathering that evening. Her hands would be in terrible shape if she had to hold the glass until Casey returned.
After Draco went upstairs, Daniella tearfully turned to Bernard. “Can you please help me? I’m begging you!”
Bernard sighed. “Ms. Love, I really can’t assist with this.”
But Daniella persisted, pleading desperately, “I’ll give you anything you want once I marry Casey. Please, help me.”
Bernard found himself in a tough spot. “Ms. Love, please don’t make things hard for me. I have a family.
and I can’t afford to lose my job.”
Although Daniella’s eyes were red, she adjusted her tone because she couldn’t elicit sympathy from him.”
You won’t help me, will you? Do you know who’s taking charge here?”
However, her words only made him chuckle. “Ms. Love, it’s unclear who will be in charge here.”
With that, he picked up the teapot and filled her glass.
Anxious, she observed as the tea filled to the brim and splashed onto her hands.
With a smile, Bernard gently reminded, “Be careful with this, Ms. Love. It’s Master De Marco’s prized collection.”
The scalding water caused Daniella so much pain she felt like ending it all.
Grimacing, she glared at Bernard and hissed through clenched teeth. “You’ll face divine retribution for doing this to me!”
Drink 1 Cup Of This Before Bedtime And Lose 14 Kg In 2 Weeks Men Can’t Put Their Hands Off This Game Yet, Bernard merely grinned and offered no response.
He finally allowed her to go upstairs at 12:30 p.m., when Casey returned.
Hatred consumed Daniella as she gazed at her burned and blistered hands. She vowed to make Bernard and Draco pay.
And she wouldn’t let River off the hook either.
She believed it was River’s appearance that had ruined everything she had. Therefore, she had to get back at River for all the suffering she had endured.
Casey entered the room as she was about to apply medicine to her hands.
When he spotted Daniella’s red, swollen hands, he was puzzled.
But soon enough, he understood.
At the sight of Casey, Daniella burst into tears.
“Casey…” She sobbed, addressing him.
A hint of irritation flickered in Casey’s eyes, but he concealed it swiftly.

Startled, Daniella started to deny it. “No…”
“Why were you so clumsy?” Casey sighed. “Let me help you with the medicine. Just stop crying, alright?”
Stupefied, Daniella stared at him. “‘Casey, you-“
“Listen to me.” Casey went to the cabinet to fetch the medical kit. “I’m exhausted.”
Daniella swallowed and wondered what he meant. She felt that he was the same as his father.
A shiver ran down her spine as she questioned if it was right to be with Casey.
The next day, River was awakened by the sound of Tyler typing on the computer.
