Just as Natasha reached the entrance, a cup clattered and rolled to their feet.
The long slide across the carpet revealed the immense rage of the person who threw it.
This anger wasn’t aimed at them. Edgar Turner's shouts in the living room were almost tearing the roof off.
The frustration of traveling in the heavy rain was dispelled by the gossip. Natasha curiously
craned her neck.
Alexei firmly grabbed the arm of the restless Natasha.
He took the towel from the butler and meticulously wiped the rainwater from her exposed arms and calves,
which had gotten wet on the walk, before finally letting go.
Natasha could only stare with wide eyes, letting him handle her like a doll.
Even though her mind had drifted elsewhere, she reciprocated by grabbing the towel, standing on her tiptoes,
and perfunctorily wiping the face and hair of the even wetter Alexei.
The butler watched her rough movements, his heart in his throat.
He thought, ‘Miss Clark, you already used that tower. How could you just smear it on Mr. Turner's face?’
Trembling with fear, he waited for Alexei to get angry, but found that besides a bit of helplessness, Alexei even
had a slight smile and cooperatively bent down.
The butler swallowed back the reprimand that was about to escape his lips.
He mentally reprimended himself and thought, ‘Why would | be so nosy?‘
After the two finally finished getting ready, Alexei slowly led Natasha inside.
Upon seeing Natasha, who wore a look of pure innocence but whose eyes gleamed with readiness, Edgar's eyelid
twitched violently.
He thought, ‘Why does Alexei bring this woman again?‘
Family scandals should not be aired publicly, but it was clear Alexei would not listen to him
and send her back.
He glared at Alexei crossly, then redirected his anger back to the middle-aged couple in front
of him.

He said, “If you had the guts to leave then, don’t ever cback. If you have any backbone,
get out now!”
The man, whose forehead still bore slight bruises and bloodstains from the scolding, helplessly glanced at Edgar.
“Dad,” he said, “you're too old to be so impulsive. You're making a spectacle of yourself.”
Then he turned his attention to Alexei, pausing before he asked, “Is this Dereck’s son, Alexei? You've grown so
much.”
He then looked at Natasha. “And this is...”
Alexei wrapped an arm around Natasha's waist. “Natasha Clark, my fiancée.”
The expressions of the members of the Turner family in the room were subtle.
Avery, seemingly oblivious to the change in atmosphere, nodded with a smile. “Alright.

Alexei smiled but didn’t respond.
Natasha decided to remain silent for today’s occasion, so she didn’t say anything either.
As Avery stood awkwardly, the woman who had been standing behind him, head bowed, stepped forward and
took his hand.
She said, “Avery, forget it. Let's go
back.”
However, Avery shook his head resolutely. “No, we can’t leave.”
He turned and pleaded with Edgar, “Dad, no matter how angry you are, after all these years, it should have
passed.
“This is a matter of life and death. Please save Minerva. I'm begging you.”
Edgar looked at Minerva Foster with disgust. “Everyone has their own destiny. Since she chose your path, she
must accept her fate and see it through.”
Minerva remained calm, showing no embarrassment despite Edgar's taunts.
“Let's go,” she said, tugging on Avery's arm.
Avery tightened his jaw and said in a deep voice, “When | left back then, | didn’t take the

The others, who had been watching indifferently and solely for the , could no longer
sit still.
Back then, Avery was so infatuated that he defied his entire family, insisting on leaving with Minerva. Edgar was
furious and threatened to disown him.
At that time, everyone presumed he had given up his right to inherit those assets.
Later, Edgar decided to give a portion of it to Byron's family, and the rest was divided among the other members
of the family.
What had been taken could not be given back.
Royce Turner said passive-aggressively, “Avery, you're wrong about this. You haven't returned for many years,
and as soon as you do, you upset Dad.
“How can old debts be settled like this? If we're really going to settle scores, shouldn't Minerva also leave her life
with the Turner family?”
Vivian sneered, “Avery, you haven't cleared your head yet. Why should Mom's inheritance be spent on this
woman?”
Dereck said nothing, but he and Teri, who was pushing his wheelchair behind him, were clearly on Vivian's side.
Back then, besides Byron's family, Dereck and Vivian received the most. After all, Dereck and Avery shared the
smother.
Now, they were already living cautiously under Alexei. None of them was willing to cough up
any money,
Avery's thin lips pressed into a line, “Since it was left to me, no matter what happens, only | have the right to
control it.
“You say | shouldn't have it, then I'll transfer it all to Alexei. Would that be acceptable?”
Ignoring everyone's sudden change in expression, he looked at Alexei with eager eyes, “Alexei, you are the
future head of the Turner family.
“The assets your grandmother leftwould rightfully belong to you. Helping with Minerva’s treatment is a
simple matter for you.

The group glared at Avery.
As everyone held their breath, awaiting Alexei’s answer, a loud sneezing sound rang out.
Natasha sneezed, then awkwardly smiled at everyone whose gaze had turned to her.
It was just a physiological reaction.
The tension focused on Alexei, which was on the verge of erupting, was broken.
Alexei picked up a blanket and wrapped it around her, then coldly instructed the butler, “Turn up
the air conditioning a bit, and bring swarm coffee.”
The others, who were not cold, felt speechless.
The butler acknowledged and left.
Everyone exchanged glances, wondering if the thoughtful and gentle Alexei was truly the ruthless figure they
once knew.
After ensuring Natasha was comfortable, he looked at Avery with a half-smile.
He said, “Avery, we haven't seen each other in years, but you've certainly gotten better at making empty
promises.”
No matter the amount, those assets were now dispersed among various family members, and over time, they
had becseverely compromised.
Reclaiming them would be a massive undertaking. Desperate individuals would fight back, and they might even
band together to oppose him.
Avery, however, knew how to leverage external forces.
If he couldnt get them, then he would make his family fight among themselves for those
assets..
Alexei would bear all the risks, and Avery could gain a good reputation.
Avery's smile froze on his face.

“Miss Clark might like them. They would make a perfect welcgift.”
Natasha, draped in a blanket, leaned against Alexei’s arm, her bright eyes curved into a beautiful arc.
She said, “Me? No worries. Alexei is wealthy enough. I'm not hard to please.”
