Married at First Sight [On

Chapter 4475.

River chuckled. "You want to complain to my sister-in-law? Go ahead. If you do,

I'll report it to Chairman Lafond. I'll also tell everyone in Eaglioncile that you took advantage of me and refused to take responsibility.".

Romina took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm. "Go ahead," she said. "Tell them I slept with you and ditched you. Do you even dare?”.

River paused. "Romina... are you into me? You've been coming after me for years. Is it because you like me?".

"You're delusional," Romina snapped. "Aren't you always targeting me too? Why don't you admit you're interested?".

"You're not my type," River said bluntly. "If you were, I wouldn't have been at odds with you for years. I would've tried to patch things up and become your partner.". Romina scowled. "What a coincidence. You're not my type either. And I don't care what you like. Plenty of people are into me.".

She was still pissed.

What was wrong with her?

She was great, okay? Tons of grandmothers were trying to set her up with their grandsons. She'd turned them all down-that's why she was still single. Honestly, Romina didn't even know what kind of guy she liked.

One thing was for sure-it wasn't some jerk like River.

"Uncle River! Uncle River!".

Maverick's voice came through.

River quickly said, "I'm done talking to you. My nephew's calling. Don't forget you owe me a meal as an apology.".

Then he hung up.

Romina stared at the phone. "What a jerk.".

Fine. She'd treat him. Who was afraid of who?

If she didn't, she was pretty sure he'd go straight to her grandfather and whine

that she took advantage of him and left him hanging. She wouldn't be able to explain her way out of that one.

Grandpa would probably say she and River were in a love-hate relationship. She was about to turn thirty and still didn't have a boyfriend. Her grandfather was already worried and planning to lighten her workload so she could start dating. But Romina didn't want to get married.

She liked being single-free and in control.

She had nieces and nephews. When she got old, she'd have them take care of her. Her assets would go to them.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in," she called.

The door opened, and in walked Donovan Lafond-her oldest brother and the CEO of Lan Group.

He shared a few similarities with Romina. Dressed in a sharp black suit and tie, he looked calm, capable, and handsome.noveldrama

In Eaglioncile, Donovan used to stand out. At least, that was before River showed up. After River arrived, he slowly stole Donovan's spotlight.

Donovan wasn't as good-looking as River. He didn't have River's bold charisma either.

"I heard you're in a bad mood," Donovan said. "What happened? Did you run into River again?".

He and River had clashed many times. Both were strong opponents. If their companies weren't rivals, Donovan might actually admire the guy.

He knew Romina and River were true enemies. They knew each other too well- and whenever they met, they clashed. If they didn't, Romina would feel off. Whenever she was about to close a major deal, River would swoop in at the last minute and steal it. That always sent her storming to confront him.

Of course, when she snatched business from River, he sometimes came to Lafond Group to confront her too.
