Although everyone wanted to witness the unfold, it made no sense for everyone to follow them into that

family’s private quarters.

The party was only halfway through when Cora, Alexei, Natasha, and the three members of the Westwood family

went ahead as representatives to handle the matter. Meanwhile, Edgar and Quinn continued to host the guests

in the main

hall.

Cheryl and Harley exchanged glances, then found an excuse to slip out of the party hall and follow them.

Edgar took a deep breath and gave a few light laughs to the guests without changing his expression. “Dereck is

still not steady at his age. | apologize for the spectacle.”

The other guests, understanding the situation, tactfully cooperated. “Every family has its troubles. Mr. Turner,

your grandchildren are all outstanding.”

The atmosphere quickly stabilized with everyone's polite exchanges, but the focus of the party’s conversation

had quietly shifted.

Back then, Teri and Dereck’s relationship also caused quite a stir.

In the years before Dereck’s leg injury, Teri often publicly showcased their image as a perfect, loving, and

devoted couple.

She even mocked other families for having many illegitimate children and cold marital relationships.

And now, their supposedly loving marriage ended like that?

Was their love so destructive?

A group of people furtively exchanged glances, avoiding Edgar, the birthday celebrant. They gleefully indulged in

the unfolding .

Natasha's outburst laid bare all the hidden past of Teri, the privileged daughter woman from the previous

generation.

After Edgar finished his pleasantries, he tiredly said he needed to rest. As soon as he turned away, he slammed

his cane in frustration and anger, his face dark.

Edgar thought, “These troublesome, unfilial children!”

‘And then there is Alexei, the unfilial grandson. Why does he have to fall for Natasha, that little devil?

‘She’s not even married into the family yet, and I'm already losing years off my life.

Edgar thought of the humiliating scene that had just unfolded and wished he could disappear.

Meanwhile, the group of people who had arrived at Teri and Dereck’s door was utterly stunned.

Everyone had assumed that no matter how severe the fight between Teri and Dereck was described, it wouldn't

be overly exaggerated.

Yet, seeing the room resembling a crscene, and Dereck and Teri bruised, battered, and sprawled on the floor,

everyone was left speechless.

‘Are these two a couple? They must be enemies!’ thought everyone.

Alexei, who was walking at the very back, looked at the scene with surprise. His eyebrows were slightly raised,

and a subtle amusement twinkled in his eyes.

He turned his head and saw Natasha looking up, mischievously and smugly winking at him.

He felt a stir in his heart, as if it were soaked in warm water, softening to an incredible degree.

If it weren't for too many annoying bystanders, he would want to pick up Natasha, his cute darling, and shower

her with kisses right at that moment.

‘As for Dereck? Well, he is not dead anyway. What is the rush?‘ thought Alexei.

Isaac’s face turned livid.

He told his wife and daughter to help Teri, then kicked Dereck, who collapsed on the ground. He gritted his teeth

and said, “Dereck Turner! | didn’t realize you had this in you!”

Even if Dereck was dissatisfied with Teri's capriciousness, she was still his sister whom he had doted on for half

his life. Teri had never suffered such serious injuries. How could Isaac, her brother, stand for it?

Dereck, who was already semi-conscious, let out a muffled groan, but Alexei didn’t even twitch an eyebrow.

However, Cora couldn't bear to watch and instructed the servants to stop Isaac's outburst, moving Dereck back

into his wheelchair.

“Mr. Westwood, only the couple knows what truly happened between them. Let's treat their injuries first,” said

Cora.

The family doctor had also been summoned just then.

Isaac glared fiercely at Dereck and said, “Treat Teri first.”

A sneer played on Natasha's lips.

‘Isaac truly dotes on his sister. Why didn’t he show such empathy when he was helping her bully other people's

sisters and daughters?’ thought Natasha.

She squeezed Alexei’'s hand and looked at him with pity.

‘My poor dear is truly unfortunate,” thought Natasha.

Alexei smiled and gently tucked the stray hairs behind her ear.

The scene was witnessed by Chloe, who was sitting next to Teri, waiting for the doctor to examine Teri.

Her eyes darkened, and she felt displeased.

Chloe hadn't forgotten that Natasha had just publicly exposed Teri's private matters, bringing great shto

both the Westwood and the Turner families.

Given Teri's personality, she probably wouldn't even want to leave her house from

now on.

“Alexei, is it appropriate to have an outsider here for matters between our two families? Today, Miss Clark really

put both our families in the spotlight,” said Chloe.

Her tone was mocking and reproachful, as if she had aligned herself with Alexei.

However, Alexei completely ignored her. He even frowned, showing no regard for the presence of elders from

both families. He said, “We aren't that close yet, Miss Westwood. My surnis Turner.”

Chloe bit her lip, her expression embarrassed.

However, Alexei was already smiling and taking Natasha's hand again. “Miss Westwood, perhaps your hearing

isn’t so good,” he said. “Please allowto introduce her again: Natasha Clark, my fiancée, and the only Mrs.

Turner in the future. If the Westwood family wishes to discuss cooperation or family ties in the future, they can all

approach Natasha, because she holds veto power.”

His blatant favoritism and doting were clearly evident.

The faces of Isaac and Chloe fell.

She also sighed and shook her head, imitating Stella.

Stella could no longer smile.

Alexei let out a soft chuckle, pinching Natasha's chubby cheeks. “Mischievous,” he said.

‘Why be so sarcastic? Which of Stella and Chloe is the dull-witted pushover, only taking hits and never fighting

back?’ they thought.

Cora looked thoughtfully at the grim-faced Westwood couple and Chloe, whose chest was heaving as she

suppressed her emotions.

Just then, Teri woke up.

Upon seeing the group of people in the room, along with her brother and sister- in-law from her maiden family,

her already pale face becdevoid of color.

The spot where her chest was hit hurt excruciatingly, but it was nothing compared to the discomfort of exposing

her failed marriage to everyone.

Her lips trembled, and she was speechless.

The family doctor put away the stethoscope, her expression serious as she said, “I recommend sending both of

them to the hospital for a check-up.”

The doctor thought, ‘Well, who would have thought this wealthy couple would be so ruthless when they fight?

They even aimed for hidden spots, not easily visible to others.

‘Indeed, one can't judge a book by its cover.”

There were too many people present, making it difficult for her to get a full body examination for them. To be

safe, she needed X-rays to check them for any internal organ damage,

However, upon hearing the word “hospital,” Teri reacted strongly and vehemently objected. “No! I'm not going to

the hospital!”

‘If | went to the hospital, everyone would know. | could not bear the humiliation,” thought Teri.
