After Dn left grumbling, Alexei escorted Natasha back to the room where she had rested before dinner.
Perhaps concerned she was startled, he remained in the room after she came out from her
shower.
Using his scratched arms, he took the towel to dry her hair, then said gently, “I still have some matters to attend to. You can go to sleep first.”
Because of tonight’s many twists and turns, Natasha, who developed a bit of separation anxiety, sat on the sofa and looked up at him.
She asked, “Are you going to handle Lane’s matter? I’lle with you.”
Alexei paused.
Although he knew she wasn’t a timid person, he didn’t want her to witness certain things firsthand. Those people were unworthy of her sight.
Natasha suddenly thought of something and released his hand.
She said, “Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I’ll wait for you.”
Alexei gently touched her face, which was warm again after her hot bath. “Get some rest,” he said.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
He added, “When you wake up, we’ll be home.”
‘I underestimated you.” Lane looked at Alexei sitting in front of her and let out a self- deprecatingugh.
She harbored delusive thoughts after thinking he was someone she could cross.
But she had no regrets. She had endured enough of the living hell Alexei had specially designed for her.
Alexei did not respond. He focused intently on the surveince screen before him, paying no mind to Lane’s confession or pleas for mercy,
The screen showed surveince footage from Peace Garden, not of the annex building, but

the scene where Natasha broke in.

Hearing her resounding defense and seeing her angry eyes, Alexei smiled softly.
That thrilling, numbing sensation shot from his heart all the way to his head.
The only other time in his life he had felt such pleasure was an hour ago when he kissed her.
When he saw Natasha, holding shattered ss and threatening to stab Lane’s eyes, demanding his whereabouts, Alexei’s eyes gleamed with a mad brilliance.
He thought, ‘Indeed, I have always said that we are a match made in heaven.
‘Heaven has custom–made Natasha for me.
‘She is the only rose on this lonely!‘
The extreme pleasure made his usually expressionless face curve into a gentle arc. “Shawn, copy the video for me.”
His voice even carried an obvious hint of amusement.
“Mr. Turner, the video has been sent to your email.” Shawn smiled subtly and did not boast
his efforts.
Alexei, in a good mood, nced at him. “Go to finance tomorrow and collect triple your
annual bonus.”
Shawn tried hard to suppress the smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
He said, “Yes, sir.”
Lane, who had been talking to herself for quite a while, finally realized she had beenpletely ignored.
An expression of indignation appeared on her face.
After seeing Natasha’s figurepletely vanish from the screen, Alexei finally condescendingly shifted his gaze from the monitor to Lane,
He asked, “Are you feeling all alone, so even if you died, you felt it wouldn’t matter?”
Lane’s heart suddenly tensed. She managed to say, “What do you mean?”
Alexei crossed his hands, resting them casually in front of him.
“Natasha is right,” he said. “You are upset, but you never target to find your real enemy.”

He smiled and added, “But it’s okay. I’ll help you this time.”
Lane tried to rush forward excitedly, but someone held her back firmly.
Lane’s voice trembled with deep fear. “What do you want?”

Alexei enjoyed her panic and smiled. “I just can’t stand how heartless your family is. They separated you from your lover back then, and now they’re burning bridges.
“I can’t tolerate them cutting ties with you, who is their great benefactor.
“You suffered such a great loss. Besides feeling sorry for yourself, you wouldn’t even curse them, nor did you take back a single cent of the money you sent them all these years.
“Your loyalty ismendable, and as you nephew, I naturally have to seek justice for you.
“Do you think a slum could amodate them? Or would Amayarian be more suitable?”
“No, don’t!” Her eyes seemed to bleed. “What I did has nothing to do with them. Please let them go.”
Alexei smiled faintly and continued, “Though you are impatient with caring for your disabled son, you still care for him and meticulously arranged for him to go abroad.
“What you didn’t know was that once he learned about what happened to you, he didn’t even dare to set foot back in the country.”
Lane suddenly looked up,
“What did you do to Nathan?”
Alexei moved his fingers. “Nothing much. I simply went along with your n and helped to smooth his transition abroad.
“However, I intercepted something before he boarded the ne.
“For instance, his identity and his assets.”
A penniless, undocumented person would likely have a painful life abroad. Alexei would also send people to ensure that Nathan would receieve special care.
As for Melvin, Lane had no real affection for him to begin with, so he was fortunate enough to keep his life.
He would live as a vegetative person, barely clinging to life, receiving indifferent care from his nurse, lingering on his sickbed until the end of his life.
Lane fell intoplete despair.

Alexei was like a tyrant who cruelly punished her entire family for her mistake.
Yet she didn’t even have the strength to resist.

No matter how fiercely they argued on normal days, and no matter how many times she wished them dead, she couldn’t ept all her family members fallingpletely into ruin because of her.
She knelt down and apologized relentlessly, “Alexei, please, let them go. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have treated Unity that way back then, nor you.
“I shouldn’t scheme against Natasha. I shouldn’t have harmed her. I am just a stupid and scheming person. I will bear all the me. Please, let them go.”
“You are right. The fault is indeed yours.” Alexei touched his palm, as if it still carried the warmth of Natasha’s kiss.
He continued, “I heard you prepared a gift for Natasha tonight.
“Conveniently, I don’t need to think about a return gift. As for what you prepared, how about you experience it yourself?”
He thought, ‘Since you’re unwilling to be trapped in the Turner Mansion, then take your whole family and perish together.’
Lane lost all strength in her body, watching him walk away in despair.

The rest of the Turner family, who were at the hospital calcting their inheritance, were still unaware of the event that had urred at the Turner Mansion,
Alexei, who brought about the change, casually dismissed everyone and returned to the room, full of anticipation.
But the moment he pushed open the door, he didn’t find Natasha, who should have been sleeping inside.
A sudden chill enveloped him, imbued with the ominous air of a brewing storm.
He asked, “Where is she?”
Under the guidance of the trembling guards, Alexei arrived at the annex of Peace Garden.

The few people guarding the door saw him and greeted him without surprise, “Mr. Turner, Miss rk is inside.”
He nodded, stood outside the door, and observed the interior for a moment before pushing open the door.
Inside the spacious house, only Natasha was busily moving about.
She had been painstakingly washed clean, but now, she was covered in dust and dirt once
more.
She carefully collected the animal carcasses, cing them neatly by the clean wall and covering them with a white cloth.
At this moment, she was on adder, using a small iron hammer to tap and knock on the other side of the wall.
Once the photo frame fell, she climbed down thedder and painstakingly dragged therge, nearly human–height photos to the center of the living room, piling them together.
Feeling a strong gust of wind from the doorway, Natasha, who was wiping sweat from her arm, suddenly turned her head.
She said, “You’re here.”
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him. “Perfect, I was about to go out and borrow a light from them. Did you bring a lighter?”
