River chuckled. “You want to tattle to Serenity? Go ahead. If you complain to her, I’ll go complain to Old Mr. Lafayette.“Better yet, I’ll tell the whole city that you took advantage of me and are refusing to take responsibility.”Rosalie took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm. Then, she retorted, “Go ahead. Why stop there? Just say I slept with you and then abandoned you! Do you dare?”River fell silent for a moment before replying, “Rosalie, do you actually have feelings for me? Did you target me all these years because you like me?”“You’re insane! You’ve been targeting me, too. Why don’t you think you like me instead?”“You’re not my type,” River said bluntly. “If you were, I wouldn’t have spent all these years fighting with you. I’d have found a way to reconcile and turn us into business partners.”Rosalie scoffed. “What a coincidence. You’re not my type either, and I couldn’t care less about your affection. Plenty of people adore me.”Deep down, though, she was

Rosalie did not even hesitate before replying: [You said it yourself. As long as I helped ice your face and reduce the swelling, that was enough. When I left, the swelling was barely noticeable unless someone looked closely.[You let me go. Now you’re making new demands? River York, are you trying to extort me?[Let me make this clear—I won’t be threatened. If you’re not satisfied, go ahead and call the police. I’m not afraid of you reporting me now.]At this point, the swelling on his face had mostly gone down. Even if he went to the police, they would not find much evidence.River’s next message came through: [If you don’t treat me to dinner, I’ll camp out in your office all day tomorrow. I’ll chase away anyone who comes to discuss business with you just to piss you off.]Rosalie laughed in disbelief. [River, since when have you become such a scoundrel? Go right ahead. Do you really think I’m scared?]He was supposed to be accompanying Serenity and her kids tomorrow. Did he rea

There was no denying that River was a man of remarkable capability.The founder of Crest Co. had been so impressed by him that he transferred half of the company’s shares to River, effectively handing over full control.Now, the founder had no longer been involved in management. He simply sat back and collected his profits.In fact, if he had had a daughter, he would have gladly married her off to River.Once Crest Co. rose to become one of Solville’s top corporations, it became Summit Group’s biggest rival. River knew very well that Crest Co. had nearly gone bankrupt in the past because of Summit Group’s schemes.So now, every time he crossed paths with Ms. Lafayette, sparks flew. The two of them brought out the worst in each other.In Solville, everyone knew they were sworn enemies.If Rosalie was invited to a social event, the host would not dare invite River, and vice versa. No one wanted to be caught in the middle of their explosive confrontations.Clients who worked with

Huh?What was going on? Why was she suddenly feeling guilty?They were sworn enemies, after all.In the past, whenever River targeted her, he had never shown any mercy or consideration.They were supposed to be locked in a fierce rivalry, never letting the other have an easy time. That was the definition of being adversaries.However, to avoid giving Serenity and the kids more entertainment, both of them stayed silent.Once the swelling on River’s face had subsided significantly, Rosalie shoved the ice pack into his hands and said, “It’s much better now, but you should still keep icing it yourself for now.“I need to get back to the office.”River did not stop her this time, watching as she walked away.Serenity and the two children also stared after Rosalie until she disappeared from sight. Finally, Serenity turned to River and said, “There’s no need to keep looking, River. She’s long gone. You can’t even see her anymore.”River snapped out of his daze, clearing his throat a

“River.”River stayed silent, waiting for her to continue. The side of his face she had slapped was not only already red and swollen, but also hurting. He really did not feel like talking at the moment, but he would have no choice but to step up to the plate if she insisted on starting another argument.“What sort of girls do you like?” Rosalie asked. “I actually can be a matchmaker for once and introduce someone to you, but in return, stop stealing my customers so often.”River retorted, “We can’t avoid that as long as we’re in the same industry. Whoever’s capable gets the client, that’s all.“Why, are you admitting defeat? You’ve refused to back down all these years and always insisted on going against me.”“Please, you’re the one who’s picking fights with me. Your company was on the verge of collapse before you saved it and turned it into our company’s biggest rival.”River harrumphed coldly. “It was only on the verge of collapse because your company was suppressing it and k

Upon seeing that Rosalie’s anger had diminished, Serenity said, “Why aren’t you retorting, Ms. Lafayette? You should continue fighting with River. You can’t lose to him.”River and Rosalie looked toward her.Serenity smiled sheepishly. “It’s quite entertaining watching you two quarrel.”Having been competitors for years, River and Rosalie knew each other well.If they were not enemies, they could probably become lovers.Serenity had received a mission from Grandma May and River’s parents to be carried out during her trip to Solville. It was to urge River to get married. Serenity felt that River and Rosalie could go from being enemies to lovers.“Serenity,” said River and Rosalie.Serenity was clearly enjoying the mess.At that moment, Rosalie’s secretary arrived with the ice pack. She saw River’s swollen face before turning to look at Serenity and her children. Finally, her gaze landed on her superior.“That’s all. You can go back and continue working. I’ll return to the c
