Lucas thought, ‘It’s inappropriate to go on a blind date now, as my engagement with Olivia hasn’t been officially called off.
‘Besides, I have said I wouldn’t marry anyone except Natasha.‘
Margot sneered, “I’m crazy? I think you’re the one who’s crazy. What do you intend to do by having someone watch Alexei?”
Lucas pressed his lips together tightly.
Alexei had a formidable reputation. Lucas wasn’t looking to do anything to him.
He just didn’t believe that Alexei was truly wless.
As long as he could find even a tiny opening, he was confident he could disrupt Alexei’s rtionship with Natasha.
The pregnancy scare at the hospital, though a false rm, reminded him that if he didn’t act soon, Natasha would truly belong to someone else.
He could not bear to see the treasure he had guarded for twenty years fall into someone else’s
hands.
The thought of Natasha actually getting pregnant with Alexei’s child, and even bearing children who resemble him, drove him insane.
A loud pnded on Lucas’s face.
Margot’s eyes were filled with disappointment and
anger.
She said, “Snap out of it! Given your situation, you’re no match for Alexei. What gives you the right topete with him for a woman?
“Is it your precarious position as the Wright family heir, or your improper rtionship with Olivia?
“Don’t you understand? You lost a long time ago. You have lost miserably since the birthday party!‘
Looking back, it was from that night that all of their fates began to spiral into the abyss.
Margot deeply regretted believing the nonsense from Lucas and the rk family, who imed Natasha would willingly agree to the engagement.

She even had a hunch that things had turned out this way because of a serious of bad
decisions.
She thought, ‘If Lucas hadn’t been cornered by Alexei and rushed to establish a rtionship with Natasha,
‘if he had not conspired with the rk family to force her into submission with her grandmother’s bracelet as bait, Natasha might not have retaliated so fiercely.‘
After all, they had many years of childhood friendship.
Even if Lucaster did something foolish because of Olivia and Roderick, based on Margot’s understanding of Natasha, it would have just ended in a breakup.
Given that Lucas had once protected her, Natasha would not let Alexei harm the Wright family.
Lucas and Olivia were truly outrageous, pushing Natasha to this point.
Now, there was no affection left.
Margot looked with anguish at Lucas, whose face was swollen and who remained silent. “This is not the time for you to pursue love. Do you think even if you get her back, you can keep
ner?”
Lucas’s eyes flickered.
Margot coldly made her judgment. “Olivia is already in prison. Even if she gets out, she’ll be of no help to you.
‘The Wright family has shown her immense kindness by not immediately disassociating themselves from her. What you need now is a powerful marriage alliance.”
Because Lucas lost his head several times for Olivia, he caused the Wright Group huge losses and provoked the formidable Alexei, putting hispany in a dire situation.
Emmanuel was extremely displeased with Lucas because of this.
Margot saw the situation clearly. “If you don’t put in some effort, how will youpete with your father, or with his illegitimate children?”
Lucas still refused to yield to the fate of needing an arranged marriage to secure his position.
“I won’t allow that bastard to be born.”
Thest time he went to the hospital, he witnessed Emmanuel apanying a woman for a prenatal check–up.
But he didn’t believe an unborn child could threaten him.

Margot scoffed, “Do you think there’s only that one? Even if one isn’t born, there can be another, and another after that.
“What about those he’s raised abroad, who are already adults? Are you going to take a knife and kill them one by one?”
Lucas suddenly looked at her, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He thought that Emmanuel would at least n to ce his other children as his heir after he was disappointed in him.
His parents had always been a model couple, and their family atmosphere was very harmonious.
However, Margot didn’t give him much time for sentimentality. “Nothing in this world is ever taken for granted.
“Only because you are excellent can you have a perfect home, readily avable resources, and an elevated status.
“Now that you’ve made a mistake, you must bear the consequences.
“You must get used to it. The Wright family’s resources used to be entirely dedicated to you, but now, you have to fight for them.”
She patted his shoulder, “Your situation isn’t too bad. You haven’t made any terrible decisions concerningpany matters in the past.
“You are still the legitimate heir now. Emmanuel has only ced you under probation. He hasn’t truly given up on you.
“What you need to do is not topete with those illegitimate children, but to strengthen your already advantageous position.
“A good fiancée can give you a significant advantage.”
She paused. “Even if you want something, you’ll have to wait until you gain influence before you can fight for it.”
Lucas’s shoulders slumped.
What Margot was the reality he had been avoiding.
The alumni reunion invitation in his hand was crumpled.

His eyes were red–rimmed, and his voice was hoarse. “Mom, I just want to try again.

“I truly love her. I’ve loved her for so many years, and I can’t imagine life without her.”
He loved her so much that he felt they were shadows of each other.
Precisely because he was certain Natasha would always be there for him, he became reckless, grew careless, and ultimately lost her.
He could not reconcile with that reality.
He wanted control of the Wright family, and he also didn’t want to lose Natasha.
He said, “Mom, I beg you.”
Margot sighed, “It’s toote to say this now.”

Alexei eventually went abroad, pressured by Natasha.
He was originally eager to take things further, not content with merely kissing her. After they had confessed their feelings, he wanted to take it to third base.
However, their emotional bond hadn’t fully developed in the past. By the time their feelings matured, Natasha got sick from the rain. After recovering, she got her period.
Enraged by his consistent inability to have sex with her before going abroad, Alexei was
upset.
In an impulsive fit, he had Natasha give him a hand job, which didn’t finish after a few hours.
When Alexei was leaving for his morning flight, he still lingered in bed, holding her close and nuzzling her, his lips on her soft, fragrant red ones, unwilling to let go.
Annoyed, Natasha kicked him to the ground.
Alexei tumbled over, but with stubborn persistence, he climbed back up, shamelessly pinning her down for another hand job.
Finally, panting heavily and pressing her down, he fiercely threatened, “When I return, Natasha, you’re doomed.”
Natasha’s body ached, and her hands felt weak. Her thighs were rubbed raw and throbbing. Drowsily, she rolled her eyes and said, “Screw you!”

Alexei grunted in dissatisfaction. With a slight smirk, he quietly cleaned himself picked up the luggage they had packed togetherst night and left.

Before leaving, he nced at the small piece of clothing precariously hanging at the foot of the bed and hesitated for several seconds.
Seeing Natasha sleeping soundly, he quickly snatched it into his arms like a thief.
Afraid Natasha would call him a pervert, he waited until he was downstairs and alone in the living room before stealthily opening his suitcase and shoving in the loot.
When Shawn came to pick him up, he saw Alexei neatly dressed and well–prepared, sitting bolt upright in his living room, looking straight ahead, with a pristine, unworldly aura.
He was slightly surprised.
Shawn thought, ‘When did Mr. Turner start acting so seriously even at home?‘
However, as the car drove further away from the vi, the air grew colder.
Shawn shivered but ultimately didn’t dare to joke with him, considering his year–end bonus.
