With a loud smack, Edgar slammed his silverware down on the table, making everyone flinch.
He shot a fierce glare at Lucia. “Just shut your mouth and stop making trouble.”
He knew what happened at the Clark family’s party.
The news of Alexei flying into a rage for Natasha had spread like wildfire all over the city.
Those grand fireworks lit up the night sky for hours that night.
He wanted to step in, but he could not do anything about it.
He thought, ‘Only these idiots in my family would still be stirring up trouble when the knife is already at their
throats.
‘Instead of thinking about how to smooth things over, they're still here fanning the flames."
Lucia stubbornly raised her chin. “Alexei’s woman is supposed to be the future head of the Turner family.
How can someone like Natasha, who has no one to rely on and is so disrespectful, ever be allowed into our
family?
‘As his elder, isn’t it my job to keep an eye on who he brings home?”
Just thinking about how arrogant and nasty Natasha was the last tshe showed up at their house made
Lucia’s blood boil.
If she marries Alexei, then where does that leave me?‘ Lucia thought bitterly.
Dereck poured Edgar a cup of milk and said coolly, “Miss Clark doesn’t measure up in terms of background.”
With Alexei’s abilities, he didn’t need to marry for status. The background of his wife didn’t
matter much.
If anything, picking someone with a humble background would make things even easier for
them.
But what they wanted was someone easy to keep in line, just like Unity.
Judging from last time, Natasha was a real piece of work. She was sharp, sly, and not afraid to
bite back.

The way she cut off her parents showed she was ruthless to the core.

If those two ended up together, nobody in the Turner family would get a good night's sleep.
Dereck also had a secret, selfish reason. He just couldn't stand the thought of Alexei getting
his way.
Ever since Alexei broke his leg four years ago, they'd been sworn enemies.
Even if it was just to make Alexei’s life a little more miserable, Dereck was all for it.
Edgar pressed his lips together, clearly not happy with Natasha either.
The problem was, Alexei was a full-grown man now. No one could thim anymore.
There was nothing Edgar could do to control him, or call the shots for him anymore.
That was exactly why he’d turned a blind eye when Lucia and the others tried to set Alexei up with other women.
He shot a sour look at his useless kids and thought, ‘If they weren't so useless, would we all be stuck here, angry
and powerless?’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucia saw Edgar waver, and that just made her even more confident. She let her mouth run
wild.
She put on a tic sigh. “Honestly, right now, the only one living the high life in the Turner family is Alexei.
‘Soon it'll be him and Natasha running the show. We might as well start lining up for the hospital once that
happens.”
At the far end of the table, Lane Turner put down her silverware and said, “Lucia, if you're going to use someone
as a pawn, at least be a little more subtle about it.”
Melvin colluded with outsiders to try and assassinate Alexei, only to end up a vegetable in the hospital. Nathan
Turner was ruined and lost his manhood.
Since then, Lane had been silently moved to the farthest seat at the table.
The recent blows had made her terrifyingly thin, and her gaze was colder than ever.
Lucia scoffed, “I wasn’t even talking about you.”
Her voice was full of contempt. “Seriously, what can anyone expect from you?

“You're all by yourself now, stuck with a useless husband and a ruined son. Who would count on you for
anything?”
Lane's eyes were sharp enough to cut, like she wanted to tear Lucia apart.
She asked, “What gives you the right to boss the Turner family around? You have already joined another man’s
family.”
“Because the one sitting at the head of the table is my father,” Lucia lifted her chin, proud as a peacock.
Even though she was an illegitimate daughter, Edgar had spoiled her since she was little. She'd never had to
deal with any real hardship in her life.
“Enough! Do you really think now’s the tto argue?” Edgar cut in sharply.
With just a single glare from Edgar, both women grudgingly fell silent.
Alexei might be calling the shots at Turner Group these days, but Edgar still held plenty of shares and a mountain
of wealth. His power was still very much in play.
Vivian Westwood watched the unfold, her lips curling into a sarcastic smirk.
Edgar might've told both of them to shut up, but anyone with eyes could see he was playing favorites with Lucia.
Vivian didn’t care for any of these people. The crazier and more vicious Alexei got, the
better.
If they all ended up wrecking each other, she'd be thrilled to sit back and watch the show.
Cora, usually the most easygoing of them all, kept her head down and just quietly ate her food.
After watching the show, Royce stroked his chin with a thoughtful look. “We can’t control Alexei, but is there no
one in this world that he cares about?”
Gabriel's eyes flickered. “Maybe there actually is.”
“Oh?” Royce leaned in, intrigued.
Natasha looked at the girl in front of her, who demanded that she break things off with
Alexei.

She'd figured that once word got out about the birthday party, the first people to show up would be the elders of
the Turner family.
Either they'd try to cut a deal, or they'd cto threaten her into leaving.
But what really caught her off guard was that the first one to jump out was sgirl claiming to be Alexei’s
fiancée.
That morning, Natasha had taken Daron out for sfun. As soon as she got back, the property manager told
her someone was looking for her.
For someone to track her down this fast, they had to be pretty resourceful.
Natasha had the manager bring the girl over, and the second they met, the girl just went off on her.
Michelle Pena stood there with her arms crossed, her tone full of arrogance. “You really think Alexei would ever
marry you?
“Please, you're just taking my place because | was out of the country for a while.”
When she saw Natasha holding Daron’s leash, her eyes practically burned with jealousy.

But before she could even get close, the irritable Daron bit her.
Michelle stared at Daron in disbelief, her expression both wounded and shocked.
Even though Daron had never let her pet him or even cnear before, he'd never actually bitten her.
She fell to the ground, clutching her wounded calf, and burst into loud sobs. She was both shocked and
heartbroken.

Seeing Natasha's phone screen showing an active call, Michelle suddenly got a really bad feeling.
“Who are you calling?” she demanded.
Natasha answered her right away.
With one hand on her hip, Natasha shouted straight into the phone, “Alexei, your so-called fiancée just barged
into my villa.

‘How can she talk to Alexei like that? Does she have a death wish?’ Michelle thought.
But what really blew her mind was hearing that familiar yet strangely distant, amused voice coming through the
phone’s speaker.
“I don’t have a fiancée, Miss Clark. Don’t just make stuff up about me,” Alexei said.
Natasha glanced at Michelle, who was sitting on the floor and looked not too bright, and shook her head.
She said, “Well, she keeps insisting you do, and says you'll get revenge for her.”
Alexei, just stepping out of the meeting room, pinched the bridge of his nose, sounding helpless. “Who is it?”
“She says her nis Michelle Pena,” Natasha replied.
“Michelle? Who's that?” Alexei asked, clearly confused.
Both the call and the room went completely silent.
Natasha and Michelle just stared at each other, both a little dumbfounded.
The dog didn’t recognize her, and Alexei didn’t remember her.
After getting hit with so much in just one morning, Michelle just flopped down and started bawling her eyes out.
