Romina understood that River was trying to protect the children, and she respected that.

The two of them coordinated and issued separate but aligned statements to avoid raising suspicions of dishonesty.

Just as Romina was about to hang up, River asked, "So, are you still arranging

The security's tight, and I've already instructed the staff to keep it discreet. As the Lafond family's eldest daughter, they know better than to leak anything."
