Dereck snorted. “Not every woman who can’t hold her own in public is fit to be Mrs. Turner.”
He'd never been much of an authoritative father, but now that he'd found Alexei’s weak spot, he was itching to
tear down his son's taste in women.
Natasha, who everyone thought would be embarrassed after her background got exposed, just blinked
innocently and dropped a bomb.
She said, “It’s fine. | don’t mind if Alexei joins my family instead.”
Everyone's jaw hit the floor.
‘Holy crap, did she really just say that?‘ they all thought.
What was even crazier was that Alexei didn’t even try to deny it. He just looked at her affectionately.
“This is getting out of hand!” Edgar kept pounding his cane on the floor.
By the tdinner was over, people felt that there might be sparks flying from where his cane kept hitting the
floor.
Lucia Estrada couldn't help but stir things up. She'd brought her husband's niece to this
dinner.
She asked, “How can we let soutsider crash the Turner family dinner and mouth off like
that?”
Even though she was an illegitimate child, she was Edgar's favorite, so she always acted like she owned the
place whenever she spoke.
Most people would think twice before crossing Alexei, but Lucia was never afraid to speak her mind.
Natasha cfrom a small-tfamily, so Lucia believed that Alexei, who was cold-hearted, would never have
real feelings for her.
She figured he was just playing around, maybe just to piss them off.
But there was no way she was going to let Natasha push her luck there. If Natasha knew what was good for her,
she'd get out on her own.
“Me? Seriously?” Natasha blinked, looking all innocent as she pointed at herself.

She shook her head, still smiling. “No worries, I'll work hard to turn my family powerful enough to make you
proud.
“But hey, who is the girl next to you supposed to be? Is she Alexei’s sister?”
They tried to drag her down over her background, so she just went ahead and exposed their dirty laundry.
Alexei had always been fierce and untamable. Back when he was younger, the Turner family tried everything to
keep him down.
However, he always managed to bite back and turn the tables on them.
When they realized they couldn’t beat him, they switched tactics in recent years and wanted to get close to him.
Getting close to him through the women by his side bectheir go-to move, so they kept pushing girls at him,
pulling every trick they could think of.
Edgar was getting old and just wanted peace in the family, so he turned a blind eye to all of it, which was as
good as giving his silent approval.
But even if they did all this behind closed doors, it was never something they could bring out into the open.
Alexei pinched the cheek of Natasha, who was pretending to be clueless, and snorted with a laugh.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe asked, “My mom only had me. Where would any siblings cfrom?”
Natasha leaned into his arms, grabbed his wandering hand, and said, “But didn’t your aunt say there were no
outsiders today?
“I just figured she was your sister.”
Then she gave his chest a playful punch. “All your fault for not introducingto everyone.”
She found her own act so cringey she could barely stand it, so she put a little extra force into it to vent her
annoyance.
Alexei leaned back from her playful punch, his grin growing even wider.
Alexei said, “I didn’t bother introducing her because she’s not worth your attention.
“Who knows which one of them dragged back another illegitimate child? They are just an eyesore for you.”

A couple of the women whose identities were being questioned couldn't take it anymore.
The girl who sat next to Lucia was fuming inside with reddened eyes, ‘I've cto the Turner family with my
aunt so many times.
‘How could Alexei pretend he doesn’t know who | am?’
Lucia clutched her chest, absolutely livid. She hated it most when people brought up the fact that she was an
illegitimate child.
Being called out by Alexei made her feel that she was about to explode from rage.
Lucia shot back, “Blanche is my niece. How could she possibly be an outsider? Unlike speople here, who act
all flirty and shameless right in front of the elders.”
“Alexei!” Blanche immediately followed up, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears as she looked at Alexei
pitifully.
Suddenly, Natasha threw a cup to the floor.
The sharp sound of the cup shattering echoed through the room.
Everyone in the Turner family was stunned.
‘Are they crazy? Who would actually dare to smash a cup right in front of Edgar?‘ they all thought.
Natasha immediately flipped the script, acting all pitiful as she buried her face in Alexei’s chest and started fake-
crying.
She said, “I don’t allow her to call you like that. I'm petty, and | get jealous!”
Alexei couldn't hold back a laugh.
He stroked her hair, but his sharp gaze swept over the stunned Blanche. “Did you hear that? Mrs. Turner says
you can’t calllike that. Watch your mouth.”
The pressure in his voice was worlds apart from the gentleness he showed Natasha. This time, Blanche really
started crying.
Lucia’s mouth twisted in fury, her hands trembling. “Has she lost her mind? How dare she act up in the Turner
family!”
Lucia’s son, Wally Estrada, scrubbed his face, spitting out the water and yelling with his eyes

squeezed shut, “Geta towel now!”
The water had splashed right into his eyes.
He suspected that Natasha had targeted him on purpose.
He was right. Natasha was indeed aiming for him.

She had no real grudge against Blanche. Crushing on Alexei wasn’t exactly a cror anything.
But Lucia started pointing fingers at her the moment she walked in, calling her all sorts of
names.
On top of that, Wally had been giving her sleazy looks since the second she stepped through the door.
Blanche was a guest, and Lucia was an elder. Natasha couldn't exactly go after either of them. So she could only
target Wally.
Alexei had already said it. She wasn’t there to be anyone’s punching bag today.
The whole thing was just her excuse to let loose.
She felt that it was too bad the water wasn’t hot. It only stung his eyes a little.
‘Man, if only it had actually blinded him, Natasha thought.
Natasha was genuinely disappointed.
“This is absolutely outrageous!” Edgar roared, his cane thumping the floor so fast it was like a machine gun
going off.

The Turner family was furious, but besides scolding Natasha for being disrespectful and lacking manners, they
couldn't cup with anything harsher to say.
But that kind of attack didn’t faze her at all.
Anyone with half a brain could see she was really targeting Wally.
Wally had always been a lech. His eyes practically popped out of his head the moment he
saw Natasha.

The Turner family felt totally embarrassed, grumbling that Lucia couldn't keep Wally under control and handed
Natasha the chance to make a scene.
Lucia was pissed that Wally was hopeless and Natasha dared to hurt him.
She smacked Wally’s hand away from his face and shot him a deadly glare.
Lucia thought, ‘Does he even know who she belongs to? How dare he stare at her like that?"
That little vixen never behaves herself. Her eyes are like hooks, always looking for trouble, and she’s got a mean
streak too.’
