Unexpectedly, the first ones to cause trouble tonight weren’t anyone at the party, but Dereck and Teri, the couple who weren’t even present.
The maid knew what kind of asion today was and dared not publicly shout the family scandal.
However, the members of the Turner family were all busy, and she was turned away several times when trying to find someone.
Just then, she saw Natasha strolling around the grounds, and an idea came to her.
‘She is Mr. Alexei’s recognized fiancée, which means she is the future daughter–in-w of the Second Branch. Asking her to help with the urgent situation should be reasonable, right?‘ thought the maid.
Natasha took out her phone and sent a message to Alexei informing him of her whereabouts. Then she looked at the maid and said, “Let’s go. Lead the way.”
She then asked the maid, “Does anyone else know?”
The round–faced maid shook her head. “No, I only found you, Miss rk.”
A mischievous smile yed on Natasha’s lips. She said seriously, “Well done. Don’t spread the word about this. Tell others to stop searching for anyone. I’ll handle it.”
The maid nodded nkly. “Okay.”
During the family’s reorganization after the incident with the fourth branch, the butler had stated that Alexei’s words took precedence in everything. And since Alexei listened to Natasha, they naturally followed Natasha’s instructions.
‘It didn’t seem wrong, did it?‘ thought the maid.
Her heart was pounding for some reason.
When Natasha arrived at the residence of Dereck and Teri, the argument inside had not yet stopped.
Teri, with red eyes, screamed hysterically, “Dereck Turner, do you even have a

For Dereck, Teri had enraged her parents, sacrificed her reputation, and abandoned her conscience. Now, she was almostpletely estranged, on the verge of losing even her home. Yet, for all those years, Dereck remained a hollow man, impossible to reach.
Upon hearing the name Dereck murmured in his dreams countless times, Teri was so enraged that she wanted to kill.
However, she didn’t even dare to wake him up.
Once the illusion of pretense was pierced, all superficial peace would instantly turn to dust.
She couldn’t ept that she had given so much, only for it to be all in vain.
Today’s outburst was simply because Chloe’s pursuit of Alexei was thest straw.
She couldn’t even grasp the family power she was proud of, which used to crush Unity.
After fighting a dead person for half her life, what did she ultimately gain?
Teri gritted her teeth as she looked at the silent Dereck in the wheelchair, who bore a fresh red palm print on his face. “I’ll ask you one thing: did you ever love
me?”
Dereck calmly looked at Teri, who was frantic. “Is there still any point in asking that after all these years?”
There was no answer, but it was more telling than any answer.
Teri let out a self–deprecatingugh, and tears streamed from the corners of her
eyes.
“Dereck Turner! You’re ruthless!” said Teri,ughing.
Teri didn’t love him for just ten or twenty years, but had secretly fallen for him since she was a girl and steadfastly pursued him.
All her life was like a sunflower always facing Dereck.

No one knew how happy she was when he was willing to abandon Unity and go abroad with her back then.
Teri even secretly rejoiced at the death of Byron, the Turner family’s eldest brother, and thanked his death for disrupting the situation.
Even if Dereck was reluctant to divorce Unity and preferred to maintain a marriage in name only, Teri, a pampered youngdy, was willing to be with him without any official status.
She was filled with great anticipation when that child came along.
Teri felt it would be a new beginning for her happiness.
Sure enough, after the news of Unity and her child at the Turner Mansion came at the same time, Dereck finally nodded and agreed to the divorce.
However, it was ruined. Everything was ruined.
Teri said, “Karma! This is all karma! Dereck Turner! I seduced you and interfered with your marriage, but if you hadn’t been blinded by ambition and abandoned your wife first, could I have seeded?
“Who are you putting on this show of affection for now? Your beloved is dead! You killed her! Your son refuses to acknowledge you. He hates you so much that he doesn’t even want his mother’s remains buried with yours. He thinks you’re filthy!”
Upon seeing Dereck’s face finally change, Teri felt immense satisfaction and cursed him viciously without holding back.
Teri continued, “Look at the wheelchair you’re sitting in. It’s a prison your son personally built for you. My child is dead. What difference is there between that and your child being as good as gone?
“I’m telling you, you won’t find peace while you’re alive. And even in death, don’t dream of seeking forgiveness from Unity and her son. Unity will never love you again, for all eternity! A hundred years from now, my name, Teri Turner, will certainly be carved next to your tombstone. In this life, alive or dead, you’ll never get rid of me!”
Hatred and love intertwined in Teri’s eyes, so intense and painful that it almost
burned.

Dereck’s pale face showed a deste expression. His fingers on his knees clenched tightly, and his eyes were vacant.
Under the incandescent light, it illuminated the desperate situation of the wealthy couple’s marriage, which was as good as dead.
Teri began to cry,ugh, smash things, and curse again.
She cursed Dereck, Alexei, Unity, and the Westwood family, as if she wished she could pierce every living person with her sharp words.
The door was not tightly shut. Natasha stood outside the doorway, calmly listening to the argument inside.
On her way there, she had learned that Frieda, the round–faced maid, was nervously listening to themotion inside, unsure whether to urge Natasha to intervene.
Dereck was already in poor health due to a leg injury. If Teri identally caused him further harm, it would be disastrous.
Natasha suddenly turned and smiled at her. “Frieda, do you know where the room’s circuit breaker is?”
Frieda nodded nkly, not understanding why she asked.
Natasha smiled, pulling Frieda back a few steps away from the doorway. She whispered into her ear, “Go and turn off the power now. Count for ten minutes, then turn it back on.”
Noticing Frieda’s confused expression, Natasha seriously patted her shoulder, saying, “People can’t think rationally when they are angry. A power cut and the darkness might help them calm down.”
She also instructed Frieda, “Tell all the maids that within ten minutes, no matter what sounds they hear, they should not intrude. They’ll be fine once they’ve vented their emotions.” <fnf6fe> Latest content published on find[?]ovel</fnf6fe>
Frieda nodded, earnestly assuring, “Okay.”

“Alright, go ahead.” Natasha smiled.

After Frieda left, Natasha returned to the door, her hand grasping the doorknob.
What Frieda called a fight was merely a p and a few fingernail scratches. Teri, a noblewoman who had lived a life of luxury for half her life, couldn’t possibly have much strength.
And Dereck would certainly noty a hand on a woman. At most, Teri would bump herself a few times while he dodged.
Everyone had truly exaggerated seriousness.
However, it didn’t matter. She was there.
When a couple fights, they should fight fiercely if they’re going to fight. What’s the point of a mere catfight?
The second before the lights dimmed, Natasha, who had previously peered through the door crack to fully understand theyout and interior decor, frantically pushed open the door and rushed in, her voice panicked.
“Dereck! Teri! Stop fighting! You two stop fighting!”
‘If you’re going to fight, fight fiercely,‘ thought Natasha.
As the lights went out, darkness covered the wicked smile on Natasha’s beautiful
face.
Unable to control her speed, Natasha crashed into Teri, who was standing frozen in ce after Natasha’s abrupt entrance.
With two muffled groans, Teri was knocked flying andnded on Dereck, who was in his wheelchair two steps away.
