Natasha paused and turned back to look at Lane.
Lane wiped the blood from her face and said with a smile, “It’s hard to say if he still recognizes you.

“You escaped that car, barely saving your life. If you’re smart, you should leave now, or you won’t die by my hand, but by Alexei’s.”
Her face was contorted with malice, as if she had already envisioned the painful end of Alexei and Natasha tearing each other apart.
Lane had prepared many things for him. She believed that by now, Alexei should be broken, even if not dead.
She mumbled to herself, “Actually, I didn’t want to hurt him. Killing Melvin was one thing, but why did he have to cripple my son?”
She thought, ‘Alexei knew Melvin’s weakness, so he had to cut off our heritage.
‘Then I have to retaliate.‘
She said, “My Nathan is innocent. Melvin was the only one who colluded with outsiders, but he’s the one who suffered!”
Natasha coldly watched Lane yelling. Rather than pitying her son, Natasha knew that Lane was feeling sad about losing her support for the rest of her life.
She said, “Those young girls assaulted by Nathan, and the innocent passersby who were hit by his car and sent flying, were also very innocent.”
She felt that Nathan got what he deserved.
Natasha no longer looked at her and said coldly, “Alexei is not so fragile. I believe that you should be the one to get away right now.”
She walked straight out the door and ran into the pouring rain.

The ce Lane mentioned was an annex building in Peace Garden.
It was near the garden. Unity often sat by the second–floor window ying the cello when
she was alive.

After the gardener’s death, this building was sealed off.

Lane had changed her mind. She wanted Alexei to kill Natasha and then deliver a fatal blow when he regained consciousness to make sure that he was in agony.
The servants had received her instructions, so no one stopped Natasha from going there.
The lock on the annex was already unlocked. Gripping the doorknob, Natasha took a deep breath and pushed open the gate.
A strong scent of blood permeated the air, with a faint medicinal smell still lingering.
The first thing she saw was a huge photo.
In the photo, Unityy on the ground, her clothes disheveled, her expression frantic, and her face bruised and swollen.
She clutched a small boy tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with pain and despair.
Such a powerful image made Natasha, who had not been there, feel a profound sense of difort.
What was even more suffocating was that around that picture, almost all the walls in the room were covered with simr photos.
A photo depicted Unity pruning branches under the scorching sun in the flower garden with a pale Face. Another picture depicted Unity being maliciously tripped and drenched in coffee at a family gathering.
One picture showed that she was pelted with snowballs while wearing thin clothes in the dead of winter.
Another picture showed that blood was running down her head while she looked frightened on the stairs.
There were also pictures showing that she was filled with terror next to a charred corpse and her streaked with blood.
With so many images, different angles, and varying photographic styles, it was clear they were not the work of one person.
Natasha’s breath hitched for a second, as if she were engulfed by the overwhelming despair that Unity felt when trapped in the Turner Mansion years ago.
People abused her, even cruelly taking photos tomemorate it, finding pleasure in the suffering of her and Alexeiq.

Besides a few major events Natasha already knew, there were also many seemingly ordinary pranks that umted over time until they drove her insane.
A normal person would have a mental breakdown just seeing these things. Natasha could hardly imagine how Alexei would feel when he walked in.
Ignoring the photos that seemed to re–enact history, Natasha noticed animal carcasses scattered all over the ground.
Back then, when Alexei was thrown into the mountains by Teri for a whole month, only an orphaned wolf pup depended on him for survival.
Later, they fought each other to survive, and he killed that wolf.
But its significance was different.
Lane originally wanted to find several simr–looking live wolves to fight him.
However, wolves were hard to find, so she collected dead cats and dogs with simr fur as a
substitute.
At first nce, it looked like the carcass of that little wolf from back then.
Natasha’s heart clenched. She tried to suppress her anger and the urge to vomit.
Walking a few steps further in, she discovered that besides the animal corpses, there were also fresh snake carcasses interspersed among them.
In deep mountains, there were venomous snakes and fierce beasts. These were to simte
that environment.
With their concealed bodies and strong attacking power, snakes were the best weapons
Lane didn’t use snakes that would kill Alexei instantly. Instead, she opted for those causing nerve paralysis and mild toxicity.
They were ced to work in conjunction with the drugs she had ced in the house, which were designed to induce frenzy and breakdown
The impact of those photos and animal carcasses certainly couldn’t faze Alexie, who was hardcore and had faced death abroad and
However, with the added effect of drugs, things would be different
Those powerful drugs were strong enough to drive an elephant to madness

No matter how capable Alexei was, he would easily fall victim the moment he was distracted by those photos and dead bodies.
Then, Lane would leak the images of Alexei indiscriminately attacking people in a frenzy, killing venomous snakes, and bodies littering the ground.
She believed that anyone who saw those pictures would certainly believe that he had a hobby for killing.
If the head of a powerful family was pictured to be aplete lunatic, no one would trust him again.
Lane wanted him to die, but not before suffering a painful, disgraceful ruin.
Natasha was shocked by such sinister intentions.
She avoided the corpses, but her feet inevitably stepped in the fresh blood flowing from the venomous snakes, which mixed with the rainwater on her body and spread out.
The stairs were covered in blood.
However, apart from the heavy rain outside, the interior was very quiet.
Every step she took was clearly audible throughout the house.
Natasha opened her aching eyes and steadily walked up.
The second–floor corridor still disyed photos that were painful to look at.
The house resembled a graveyard meticulously designed for Alexei, where all evil was buried.
Natasha wasn’t worried that those insidious plots and dangers would take Alexei down, but she was truly a little concerned about his mental state. <fn71e3> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? findnovel</fn71e3>
She felt every second spent here was like torture.
Finally, she reached the end of the corridor.
She looked at one of the rooms facing the garden outside the building, and her intuition told
her he was inside.
She tried pushing the door.
Unexpectedly, it was open.

The lock had clearly been broken from the inside.
But he didn’te out.

Her hand gripped the doorknob, and her eyes scanned the lit surveince red dots in the
corridor.
Lane said Alexei might not recognize her anymore. So Natasha felt that Lane might have confirmed through some means that he was influenced and found he had an intention to
attack.
But even if Alexei was unconscious, Natasha still wanted to bring him back with her.
Natasha opened the door.
Meanwhile, the fruit knife she had snatched from Lane shot out of her hand.
A green snake that had slipped out from a crack in the bed was pierced through its body, struggling convulsively a few times before finally dropping its head limply.
The sound that had attracted Natasha, produced by the cello strings rubbing against the snake’s body, vanished afterward.
