Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 14

“Natasha, you're insane! You actually burned down your grandma’s house.” Madeline's voice was on the verge of

breaking.

They had expected Natasha to get angry, maybe even fight for the house, but they never imagined she'd be

ruthless enough to torch the only memento her grandma left her.

When she got the call from the fire department that morning, she could hardly believe her ears.

“That was the place where your grandparents fell in love! How could you be so heartless? You said it meant

everything to you, and you'd take care of it forever. And now look what you've done!” Madeline shouted.

Officially, it was labeled an accident, but they all knew-Natasha did it on purpose.

It couldn't be a coincidence. She'd just beaten up Olivia last night, and today the house went up in flames.

Because they were going to give the house to Olivia, and since she couldn't have it, she decided to destroy it.

For the first time, Madeline realized just how extrher youngest daughter could be.

Natasha chuckled. “So, you all knew exactly how much it meant to me? And yet you still chose to go against

Grandma's wishes.”

“We had our reasons.” Madeline faltered.

“I don’t care about your reasons.” Natasha raised her voice. “To me, burning it down is still better than gifting it

to a murderer.”

“Natasha! Watch your words!” Madeline shrieked, heartbroken. “Your grandma's death was an accident-why

can’t you accept that? Olivia is also your grandma's granddaughter. Why would she ever harm Grandma? Don’t

let jealousy cloud your judgment.”

Natasha didn’t want to argue. She had no proof, and they wouldn't believe her anyway.

Madeline kept ranting. “Do you even realize arson is a crime? That house meant so much to Olivia, and you beat

her up so badly she ended up in the ER last night...”

“Umhmm,” Natasha cut her off. “Then call the cops.”

Silence reigned. Then, furious and helpless, Madeline added, “You know damn well we won't call the cops.

Natasha, what's gotten into you? You are not the daughter | knew.”

Natasha had indeed called their bluff. If the house had already been transferred to Olivia, things might've been

different.

But since it was still under Madeline's name, Madeline’d never be petty enough to report her own daughter for

burning down a worthless house during a memorial visit.

The scandal would be humiliating. The Clark family couldn't afford that kind of shame. This whole thing would

have to be swept under the rug.

Natasha's voice was laced with ice. “Perfect, then let's start over and get to knowagain. From now on,

Natasha won't be the one you can emotionally blackmail anymore. Don’t provoke me. | can be way more vicious

than you

think.”

The mother-daughter talk ended on a sour note.

Putting down her phone, Natasha sat frozen for a few seconds before turning to Alexei, who had dropped his

smile and was staring at her intently.

“See? Arson isn't a threat to me, so scram already,” she said.

“So you savednot because you were forced, but because you were into my looks?” Alexei had a knack for

missing the point.

The tense atmosphere lightened, leaving Natasha momentarily speechless. “Seriously, has anyone ever told you

you're completely full of yourself?”

“Well, now you did.”

“Like you heard, | might have some... unwelcvisitors soon. So this place won't exactly be quiet,” Natasha

replied, indicating he should leave.

Alexei changed the subject. “You know, revealing family in front of strangers isn't the

smartest move.”

With that, he lowered his voice. “All alone-perfect for murder and body disposal.”

Natasha rolled her eyes. “I'd haunt you after | die.”

“Never haunted by a female ghost. If you're offering, Miss Clark, | wouldn't mind a little ghostly

romance.”

“You're seriously twisted.”

“Takes one to know one.”

Amid the banter, Alexei ended up staying.

Watching Natasha, who looked fierce but only gave him a harmless, kitten-like kick before storming off to her

room for a nap, Alexei smirked.

Showing mercy to a demon? That was just asking them to push their luck.

While Natasha and her patient were sound asleep in her tiny apartment with the curtains tightly drawn, the

outside world was in an uproar because of them.

The incident of beating up Olivia hadn't even been settled yet, and in just one night, Natasha dropped another

bombshell.

Thankfully, years of dealing with her antics had built up sresilience; otherwise, Andrew might've needed

even a trip to the ER.

He just couldn’t understand how the sweet, adorable little girl from back then had turned into such a headache.

Even during her silent, withdrawn phase, she was easier to handle than this rebellious, defiant version.

Was she really that determined to make life hard for Olivia? But weren't we just trying to atone for her mistakes?

Otherwise, how bad would the rumors get?‘ he thought to himself.

With a dark expression, Andrew ordered Thomas, “We have to teach her a lesson this time. Freeze all her cards-

cut off her money. Let’s see how she keeps causing trouble without cash.”

Then, remembering Olivia still lying in

“Got it,” Thomas replied, equally annoyed.

Natasha's messes always ended up in his lap. Today, he'd have to make a trip to Scrushire to clean up the

aftermath.

The old mansion was burned down, and he worried about how Olivia's health might be affected.

The assistant blinked. “Sir?”

‘Cut off her cards? But hasn't her account been frozen since she moved out five years ago? What

card?’ he wondered.

At that time, Thomas got busy with the company stuff, and everyone in the Clark family just assumed someone

else would secretly support Natasha. Olivia even said she gave her sister a few

million.

All these years, Natasha never once crawled back for money. But since Thomas clearly didn’t give a damn, the

assistant sure as hell wasn’t gonna remind him to fund her.

Plus, cutting off Natasha's card every other day was basically standard practice in the Clark family.

Sick of the sold tired tactics, the assistant filed it away without a second thought.

As for Olivia, even though he thought being able to run, move, and dance didn’t exactly count as frail, since

Thomas was worried about her, he had to do his job and call up sdoctors.

Thinking about how the young lady could pull off big jumps on stage but ended up in the hospital every other

day offstage, he decided to line up a few extra docs.
