    Olivia let out a shortugh, “Then, she pulled up you, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.


    “I just soaked myself in seawater, ruffled my hair. Without me even saying a word, you rushed right over. I wonder if she regrets saving you.”


    Noel couldn’t ept the truth. He kept backing away, repeating, “Impossible, impossible…”


    “Is it impossible, or do you not dare to believe it?” Oliviaughed, looking at him with mocking eyes. “You’re truly Madeline’s son, just as skilled at self–deception ast she is.”


    The fruit basket that Olivia had previously thrown during her argument with Thomas tripped Noel, who was retreating. With a loud crash, he fell awkwardly to the ground, his body trembling uncontrobly.


    Olivia relished his torment, chuckling lightly. “It’s toote for regrets. Do you think that if you apologize and confess to Natasha now, she’ll still forgive you? No, she won’t. She haspletely given up on you as her brother.


    “Natasha and I are at odds. Understandably, she hates me. But Noel, what you’ve lost is the only person among all your siblings who truly cared about you.”


    Her sentences, like a vicious curse, made Noel’s heart tremble with numbness.


    In just a few minutes, his understanding of the world waspletely turned. upside down.


    Noel, looking dazed, stumbled out of the ward.


    Olivia watched his disappearing back, her eyes filled with deep gloom.


    Her mother’s scheme failed, but Madeline and Andrew wouldn’t gain anything


    either.


    They deserve utter chaos and their children turning against each other.


    She sat quietly for a long time, her emotions fluctuating. Finally, she picked up her phone and opened the WhatsApp chat page that had never received a reply.


    [Lucas, I’m badly hurt. Can youe see me?]

    [Lucas, my family wants to cut ties with me. I’m so scared, and I miss you so much.]


    [My mother did something wrong for my sake, yet I can’t bring myself to condemn her. Perhaps I am the one who truly deserves to atone with death. If only I had known the truth sooner. I deserve to die.]


    [Lucas, tell me. If Roderick hadn’t died back then, and I had married him and sessfully left the rk family, would none of this have happened?]


    Confession after confession, without a single response.


    Olivia bit her lower lip.


    She posted another picture. The main subject was the ward, but it inadvertently showed her wound


    Still, there was no response from him.


    Her chest heaved for a few seconds before she suddenly hurled her phone.


    Her phone shattered into pieces against the wall. She stared fixedly at it, the darkness in her pupils slowly spreading to every corner.


    <i>“</i>You want to get rid of me? No way!‘ thought Olivia.


    In the dimly lit room with tightly closed curtains, the door suddenly opened.


    Margot smelled the overpowering stench of alcohol inside, nced at the empty wine bottles scattered haphazardly on the floor, then frowned and walked to the window to open the curtains.


    “How much longer do you intend to wallow in this self–pity?” said Margot.


    She looked coldly at Lucas, her son, who sat on the floor, unshaven and leaning against the bed.


    The sudden stimtion of light made Lucas, who had been trapped in darkness for too long, feel slightly ufortable.

    The phone screen next to him shed a few times and then went dark, but he ignored it all, continuing to drink from the bottle.


    Margot, restraining her anger, snatched the wine bottle from Lucas’s hand and smashed it to the ground.


    “Since you came back from the rk family, you’ve been like this, half–dead. Do you think anyone sees or cares about your heavy drinking? Your enemies will only. rejoice!”


    Lucas smiled carelessly and picked up another half–empty bottle. “Mom? No, soon to be Wyatt’s mother, Mrs. Wright, is there something you need?”


    Margot looked at him, heartbroken. “Can such a small setback defeat you? Your life isn’t even one–third over, and there are still many opportunities ahead. A temporary retreat doesn’t mean a permanent surrender.”


    Margot thought, ‘For long–term interests, what was a moment of bowing down and humiliation?


    “Why doesn’t he understand that even if the Wright family’spany is given to Wyatt, there are still many hidden resources? As long as he wants them, his father and I will definitely provide them.


    And, as time passes, Alexei will no longer watch so closely, and Lucas himself will grow stronger. Then, reiming what’s his won’t be impossible.”


    Lucas continued to drink, unfazed.


    What did it matter if he won or lost? Nothing could turn back time.


    He had lost his most precious treasure.


    Margot again snatched the bottle from him and threw it away, then pped him hard.


    “Even without Olivia and her mother, you truly don’t deserve Natasha.”


    Lucas’s eyes flickered.

    Margot continued to provoke him, “At least when Natasha’s leg was injured and she left the stage back then, she didn’t be dispirited or let herself she got back on her feet on a new path. Even with the rk family suppressing her so much, she could still earn a living on her own and continue to fight fort independence. What about you? What else can you do besides drinking? While you were wallowing in self–pity<b>, </b>she had moved ny–nine steps forward.


    “You will forever be left watching her back, watching her marry someone else, have children, and live a loving life without a doubt. Even if they divorce someday, you still won’t have a chance!”


    Lucas sensitively picked up on a hint, “Mom, have you heard some news?”


    Margot looked at him coldly, saying, “Chloe, the eldest daughter of the Westwood family, intends to marry Alexei. Regardless of whether she seeds or not, for someone like Alexei, there will be no shortage of women throwing themselves at him. Do you think they can forever withstand the temptations when facing so many? And Natasha, after experiencing so much in the rk family, do you she can like that kind of scheming environment?”

    The Westwood family was much better off than the declining rk family


    Natasha couldn’t tolerate any wavering. Having learned from past lessons, if Alexei showed even a slight hesitation, their rtionship would immediately fall apart.


    Margot didn’t understand their dynamic. But young people were often swept off their feet by hormones, making them dizzy and confused. However, as reality hit them, all feelings fade, and only tangible benefits truly matter.


    People from two different worlds should not be together.


    She had seen Chloe before.


    Like her aunt Teri, Chloe was opinionated and proud, not someone who gave up easily.


    Deep down, she didn’t want Lucas to continue to be entangled with Natasha. But now, only Natasha could provoke a reaction from him.


    Waiting for an uncertain oue was better than justnguishing like this.

    Lucas gripped the phone next to him, which had lit up again, his gaze deepening.


    Natasha had recently be addicted to hotpot, which greatly worries Alexei.


    However, if he didn’t let her eat it, she would look at him with a pitiful expression.


    Alexei couldn’t resist, so he had to spend time researching healthier hotpot recipes.


    The Turner Mansion did have a chef skilled in spicy cuisine, and Alexei soon recruited him to specifically teach him how to prepare hotpot bases and spicy cuisine.


    Having the chefe to their home would also work, but Alexei had grown to enjoy cooking with Natasha, primarily for the joy of him doing the cooking and Natasha providing moral support.


    Except for times when they were too busy or feelingzy, the two would always cozy up in the kitchen together.


    Moreover, if he learned to cook it himself, he could ensure that Natasha could have it instantly whenever she craved it, anywhere.


    So, one day, when Edgar had a good appetite and wanted to try some more stimting dishes, he would discover the master chef he had painstakingly found, and afterpeting with fellow foodies for a long time to secure, had been poached by his unfilial grandson.


    When he called to have the chef sent back, Alexei Turner simply said that Natasha rk liked spicy food, so the chef would remain with them.


    Edgar scolded Alexei, but Alexei wasn’t flustered. He calmly stated that if the chef were sent back, Natasha would have toe to the Turner Mansion for meals. every time she wanted the chef’s cooking.


    Edgar was speechless.


    Edgar was so furious about losing his favorite chef that he ate half a bowl less food that night. Alexei Ignord Edgar, leveraging his new culinary skills, impressed


    Natasha once more.

    Fully satisfied with her meal, Natasha followed Alexei, the chef, like a little shadow, constantly saying, “Alexei is amazing,” “I love it,” which ttered Alexei so much that he beamed.


    However, as night fell, just as Alexei was about to enjoy the fruits of hisbor and was nearly ready for intimacy, Natasha received a vivid and lively distress message filled with voice messages and emojis. Ignoring Alexei, she ruthlessly pushed him away, got up, and dressed.


    Late at night, at the police station, Alexei, who was resentful, arrived btedly with Natasha.


    As they appeared, they heard two voices exim in simultaneous surprise.


    “Natasha!” called Leonie Turner.


    “Natasha?” called Noel.
