Chapter 4617
River said, “The money in my family belongs to them—it was built by my grandparents, not me. I went out to work because I wanted to see if the training my family gave me would hold up. Could I survive on my own without their safety net?
“My grandma always told us that if we’re trained well, even if the business fails one day—or the company goes bankrupt—we’d still be able to stand on our own. Still, she hopes we’ll always support the family business and never let it go under. After all, it’s the result of generations of hard work. If York Corporation falls on our watch, how could we ever face our ancestors?”
River looked directly at Romina and asked, “Do you have any other questions? If you want to know anything about me or my family, just ask. You don’t need to ask my sister-in-law—I won’t hide anything. I’m not like my eldest brother who deliberately kept things from his wife. You never asked about my background, so I didn’t say anything. That’s not the same as hiding or lying.”
His situation was different from his eldest brother’s.
Back then, his brother hid his identity because he worried his wife might be after his money. He only told her he was a regular worker so he could observe her.
In fact, if he had just confessed everything once he realized he loved her, maybe she wouldn’t have been so angry. But he didn’t. He kept lying until she found out through a public interview. That’s when she realized she’d been deceived.
