“If you were clever, I wouldn’t need to spell it out, Bernard reminded her. “I’ll be waiting for you 7 Signs Telling That Parasites Are Living Inside Your Body The Sexiest Game Of 2022!
downstairs.”
With that, he shut the door, leaving her standing there in bewilderment.
She couldn’t deny he was right. She wouldn’t be suffering like this if she were still the Xander heiress. She blamed River.
Daniella bit her lip and schemed for revenge against River, thinking of someone who might help her.
She quickly retrieved her phone from under her pillow and made a call.
River returned to Bayview Villa with her three children in the evening.
Noah didn’t oppose Axel going with River but instructed Reuben to deliver some clothing to River’s home. He claimed it was for Axel, but he had also picked out outfits for Tyler and Liora.
River felt a mix of emotions as she observed the clothes on the tea table.
“Mommy?” Liora suddenly approached River. “Is my dress pretty, Mommy?”
River refocused, seeing Liora in a delicate pink princess dress that enhanced her charm.
River rubbed Liora’s head, smiling, and said, “Yes, it’s very pretty.”
Liora’s smile dimmed as she touched River’s face. “Mommy, it seems like something’s bothering you.”
River was taken aback as Liora’s hand grazed her face. “No, maybe I’m just tired.”
Disheartened, Liora suggested, “Why don’t you go upstairs and rest, Mommy-“
A bodyguard walked in, interrupting Liora.
The bodyguard approached River and said, “Ms. Healy, there’s someone named Naomi looking for you at the door.”
River was surprised and wondered why Naomi had come.
She stood up and said, “Invite her in quickly.”
River then went to the kitchen and returned with a glass of juice. Naomi was already greeting the children.
River approached Naomi with the glass of juice and asked, “Why did you come, Naomi?”
Naomi turned with a gift box in her hands and said, “Ms. Healy. I brought you a gift.”
River smiled when she saw the gift. “You didn’t have to bring a gift to visit.”
Naomi replied, “It’s basic etiquette to bring a gift when visiting someone’s home, Ms. Healy.”
River knew Naomi wouldn’t give up, given her character. Reluctantly, she accepted the gift. “Thank you.
“You’re welcome,” Naomi said. “You’ve helped me earn a lot of money.”
Naomi’s words made River tense as she handed Naomi the glass of juice. “You’re very straightforward.
“Not a problem,” Naomi replied nonchalantly.

River suggested, “Please have a seat.”
“Okay.”
After Naomi sat down, River placed the glass of juice on the coffee table in front of her.
Naomi nodded and took a sip of the juice. Her awkwardness made the atmosphere uncomfortable, and River was uneasy.
Kenny entered through the door and was surprised to see Naomi. “Oh, Ms. Lynch is here!”
Naomi stood and greeted Kenny “No need for formalities: Sit down. There are some cakes for the kids in the fridge. Let me get some for you.” Kenny waved casually and headed to the kitchen.
Returning with a stack of food, Kenny placed it in front of Naoml, who felt overwhelmed by the amount of junk food.
Kenny enthusiastically served Naomi. “Make yourself at home, Ms. Lynch. Help yourself.”
River looked helplessly at Kenny and said, “You’re too eager, Kenny. You’ve startled her.”
Blinking, Naomi remained silent.

Kenny reacted with surprise. “Did I?”
Naomi replied, “I won’t stay for long.”
“Don’t go!” Kenny tried to persuade her. “Why leave? We’re having dinner. Stay and dine with us!”
River echoed Kenny’s words, saying, “Eira made some delicious food. Join us for dinner.”
Naomi looked at River with confusion. “Eira?”
Smiling, River explained, “Yes, she’s a young woman recommended by my brother.”
After a moment, Naomi glanced at the kitchen and nodded.
Eira soon called everyone to dinner, and they gathered around a round table.
River helped serve Naomi, but the latter insisted, “Let me, Ms. Healy.”
River smiled and said, “You’re a guest. It’s my pleasure.”
Complex emotions flitted through Naomi’s eyes as she watched River head to the kitchen. Throughout dinner, River served Naomi generously. Although Naomi was initially reserved, she gradually relaxed due to the lively atmosphere.
After dinner, Naomi bid farewell to River and left. As she drove out of Bayview Villa, she made a call, but it took a while for the other person to answer.
“How’s it going? Do you know how many people are in her house?” It was a woman’s voice.
“Yes, I do. There are three kids, Kenny, a nanny, and several bodyguards at the door,” Naomi honestly replied.
The woman asked, “How many bodyguards? Is there a way to get in?”
Naomi replied, “I don’t think so.”
The woman suddenly lost control and screamed, “Didn’t you do a good job for me?!”
Naomi pulled the car to the side of the road. “I followed your instructions, Daniella.”
Daniella’s face contorted with anger. “It’s not enough! I want to destroy River’s reputation! What good Is this tiny piece of information to me?”
Naomi retorted, “Do I have to let other men into her house to get hack at her?”
“Yes! That’s the only way to bring her down! Daniella’s fury distorted her expression.
Naomi replied, “Your plan is bound to fail then. There’s no way to enter her house.”
With great effort, Daniella calmed herself. “Keep an eye on her. You’re going back to work next week, right?
“Yes.”
“Find a way to tail her daily so that I can selze an opportunity”
“Understood.”
After ending the call, Daniella clutched her phone with malice. Naomi owed her a significant favor from 3 tuntia seksi? ilman Viagraa! Tallenna resepti The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids their past overseas cooperation. She was confident that she could make River suffer immensely with Naomi as her spy.
Four days later.
River was preparing to discuss the next day’s work matters. As soon as she left her room, her phone rang. Curious, she answered, “Hello?”
A man’s voice on the other end said, “Ms. Healy, please come to the hospital. Mr. Xander wishes to see you.”
River immediately refused, “I’m not coming.”
The man’s voice turned cold. “Ms. Healy, you can decline, but we won’t hesitate to forcibly take you. from your home.”
River was startled. If they barged in, they would terrify her children on their break. Reluctantly, she conceded, “Okay, send me the address, I’ll be there.”

Half an hour later, River rushed to Novamere Hospital and entered Grayson’s room. The bodyguard allowed her entry, River clenched her fists and took a few deep breaths before walking in.
Grayson sat by the window, looking sickly with sunken cheeks and lifeless eyes. He turned when he heard her approach.
3 tuntia seksi? ilman Viagraa! Tallenna resepti The Sexiest Game Of 2023! Not For Kids River was visibly shocked by his appearance. His face was dramatically changed in just a few days.
Grayson avoided her gaze.
River didn’t exchange greetings. Instead, she took a seat and kept her distance. She despised those who abused their power, especially when it led to murder, even if they were related by blood. Her resentment toward him deepened as he also seemed affected by the situation.
“Why are you so afraid of me?” Grayson spoke weakly, coughing.
River remained silent, her eyes fixed on him.
“What can I do to bring your brother back to the Xander Group?” Grayson got straight to the point.
River frowned. “Do you think I influenced my brother’s decision to start his own company?”
Grayson scoffed. “Who else but you?”
River smiled. “Fine then, I won’t try to persuade my brother to return to the company. Consult someone wiser.”
When River attempted to leave, two bodyguards blocked her path.
She was infuriated and turned to glare at Grayson. “What are you doing?”
Grayson stood up, coughing. “Do you think you can walk out of here today if you don’t agree to my request?”
River clenched her fists tightly and almost blurted the word ‘despicable‘.
River asked, “What do you want?”
“It’s quite simple. I’ll grant you freedom if you manage to persuade Neil to return,” Grayson replied, pausing to catch his breath.
River found the idea ridiculous. “I can’t alter a choice Neil has made. Do you truly believe he’d change his mind just because I asked?”
Grayson’s expression grew serious. If you can’t bring him back, no one else can! Are you going to stand idly by as I send your brother to prison? River, you bear the responsibility for influencing Neil’s actions!
“Ella would be looking after me if it weren’t for you! And why do I face humiliation? It’s all because of you! None of this would have occurred without your involvement!
“You’ve brought unhappiness to your parents, and now you’re causing misery to Neil and me! To what extent are you willing to dismantle the Xander family?”
