Ste hated Teri to death. At this point, she no longer cared that the Westwood family’s original support for Teri marrying Dereck had also been driven by financial considerations.
In short, everything started because of Teri. If she hadn’t offended Alexei, he wouldn’t have set up such an borate scheme against the Westwood family.
All her anger was directed at her.
Ste pushed Teri away, her eyes full of disgust. “Get out! This isn’t your home! Haven’t you already caused us enough misery?”
Teri, having just suffered a severe emotional blow at the graveyard, heard such dreadful news upon returning. Facing Ste’s usations, she choked andpletely fainted.
The maid looked hesitantly at Ste.
Ste scoffed. “Why are you looking at me? Send her back to the Turner estate.”
“Yes.”

Meanwhile, another major incident rocked the second branch of the Turner family.
Watching the servants bustling in and out of the second branch’s quarters, Cora focused intently on sorting the invitations in her hand.
She said, “All grievances have their cause. Don’t worry about them anymore. Quinn,e take a look, who else should we invite?”
The tall and slender Quinn slowly walked over, casually ncing through it. “It’s about done,” he said. “I’ll personally deliver Alexei’s.
“Good.” Cora smiled with satisfaction.

While the Westwood family was in chaos, Natasha had been living quite a carefree
life recently.
Sadie’s return to the country practically lured Natasha out of the house.
Seeing that she was no longer a homebody and wasing backter each day, Alexei finally couldn’t sit still anymore.
Before, when he was used to being alone, the office and home were no different to him.
But now, it was a struggle not to take Natasha to work with him, and not seeing her after work left him feeling utterly miserable.
One day, Sadie mentioned she had recently invested in a new film project and the male lead was “insanely handsome.” She invited Natasha to visit the set with her. Natasha, who had never seen a live filming session before, got up enthusiastically in the morning to get dressed up.
Alexei was instructed to braid her hair.
Dressing Natasha up beautifully and sending her off to meet other men made Alexei’s heart ache.
He worked slowly, deliberately messing up a few sections.
“Oh, you’re so clumsy. It’s ruined again.” Natasha pouted.
This was the fourth time this morning. How could Alexei be so all–thumbs?
“Forget <b>it</b>, forget it,” she said, touching up her eyebrows and tousling her long hair, which had gained some waves from the attempted braids. “This will do. I’ll just wear it down.”
“Does it look good?” She turned back to Alexei.
“It looks good.” Alexei leaned in, wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her into his embrace<b>, </b>and pressed his lips against hers. “Baby, don’t go, okay?”
He smeared her lipstick. Breathing into her car with a hint of seduction, he whispered, “I won’t go to work either. Let’s stay home and y today.”

Natasha poked his chest muscles and pushed him away, shaking her head vigorously. “No.”
By his standards of “y,” she wouldn’t be able to leave the house for the next three days.
Last time she went rock climbing with Sadie, her legs gave out and she almost fell, and Sadie mocked her mercilessly.
To avoid further embarrassment,st night she ordered him to only do it once.
Reluctantly, Alexei reached in his hand and caressed her delicate skin, skillfully making her voice tremble.
“Isn’t it more fun with me? I learned some new tricks, just for you.”
Natasha held his hand, rewarding him with a kiss. “Be good, I’ll be back early today.”
Knowing he was jealous, she kissed him a few more times, smearing his face with lipstick, and chuckled, “Sadie has been busy for too long and rarely gets a break. She’s just really into it this time. Give in to her, okay? In a few days when she goes back to being busy at herpany, I won’t go out to y so much.”
Besides, knowing he would wait for her, she would alwayse home no matter howte it was. They were actually together every day anyway.
Alexei frustratedly buried his face in her neck and demanded a few more kisses.
“Fine, you just love her more anyway.” His voice was sulky.
Natasha couldn’t help butugh. ‘Why is Alexei so jealous?‘
She leaned close to his ear, her ear tips red, and quietly said something.
Alexei’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
Natasha said, “Really.”
He finally smiled contentedly. “Then I’ll wait for you, baby.”
Natasha took Alexei’s cheeks in her hands. “So, can youplete the dog–walking

task by yourself today?”
Alexei nodded obediently.

“Don’t pretend to lose anything and make me bring it to you, and definitely don’t call someone to cause trouble for Sadie and make her leave.”
Alexei looked sheepish and rubbed his nose.
Affectionately escorting her to Sadie, Alexei bent down to kiss her. “Have fun.”
Natasha also gave him a kiss. “Work hard.”
Sadie, in the background, covered her eyes and grumbled disdainfully, “I can’t stand it.”
Alexei smiled. “Just bear with it.”
Sadie snorted coldly, pulling Natasha back and linking arms. “I will ask her out everyday.”
Alexei gritted his teeth.
Fine. She was ruthless. This was a woman he couldn’tpete with.
After making Alexei leave in anger, Sadie triumphantly waved her hand. “Come on, get in the car!
*****
Sadie took Natasha to a modern drama group.
As luck would have it, upon their arrival, they ran into the film crew arguing with people.
It turned out to be Olivia.
Upon seeing the investors arrive, the director nervously exined that there was a pivotal wedding scene nned. To align with the storyline, they had speciallymissioned an expensive wedding dress after acquiring funds.
Today, he specifically came to pick up items and use their store’s venue for filming

the wedding dress fitting scenes.

However, Olivia happened to see and liked the well–preserved wedding dress a store employee had just disyed. She loudly demanded it, offering more money for others to give it to her.
The director had never heard such an outrageous request.
Olivia had been running herself raggedtely with wedding preparations. Lucas waspletely hands–off, and Emmanuel and Margot even refused to fund the wedding.
Even worse, she discovered that Lucas’s assets were pitifully small.
Not only had Emmanuel reimed them, but the Wright Group was also declining. Moreover, his own investment projects continuously lost money due to his neglect.
Olivia was seething, as if she had walked into a dead end. The more they refused to do something, the more she wanted to execute it wlessly.
Rather than fighting over the wedding dress, it was more like she was deliberately picking a fight to vent.
Lucas sat numbly aside, as if her embarrassment didn’t matter to him; he didn’t
care.
The more indifferent he was, the angrier and crazier Olivia became.
The film crew was stunned. With the groom as a mere prop, the bride going crazy, this maddened, resentful couple blocking their way and the scene was more dramatic than anything in their production.
Lucas felt a pang in his heart seeing the suddenly surprised Natasha.
The bride in his heart should have always been Natasha.
Not wanting her to see his pathetic state again, Lucas grabbed Olivia’s wrist and shouted, “Enough! Let’s go<i>!</i>”
This venue and these outfits were already booked by someone else; Olivia was

Olivia also saw Natasha, but it only made her hate Lucas‘ sudden change in
attitude even more.
“Lucas! You’re married! Do you even remember who your wife is?” She pped him, her nails leaving red marks on Lucas‘ face.
Lucas was enraged and pped Olivia back. “Lunatic!”
“Lucas, you dare hit me?” Olivia stared at him incredulously, covering her face.
She angrily lunged at him again.
The director said, “Uh, why don’t you two fight outside?”
What’s more, just as Sadie signaled the crew to wait until she and Natasha finished watching the show before clearing the set, another person burst in from outside, adding to the drama.
“Olivia!” Thomas, holding a document bag, burst in furiously, charging towards Olivia with scarlet, resentful eyes.
