As the ambulance sirens blared, rushing toward the Clark family mansion, the party on the other side also drew

to a close.

Isaac and Alexei’s negotiation ended unhappily. Cora had returned to the venue to inform Edgar about the

situation with Dereck and Teri.

Edgar's face was filled with shock when he heard that Dereck and Teri were beaten to the ground and couldn’t

move. Even the family doctor was scared and told them to get a detailed examination at the hospital.

“Alexei’s father and his stepmother are that strong? Bah!” said Edgar.

Cheryl, who had followed from the side, gave Harley a knowing glance.

‘See? I'm not the only one influenced by Natasha,’ thought Cheryl.

The main reason was Natasha's tic and expressive way of repeatedly saying ‘stepmother’ was simply too

persuasive.

Edgar scowled, “Where are Alexei and Natasha?”

Even Teri's family had returned to the venue. Where did Alexei and Natasha run off now?

The sisters-in-law exchanged glances.

Finally, Cora smiled, saying, “Alexei and Natasha are still in their honeymoon phase. They probably have some

private things to say.”

Edgar was speechless.

“Alexei’s father is almost beaten into the emergency room, yet he is still preoccupied with romance,” thought

Edgar.

After much thought, it was still Dereck’s own doing. What goes around comes around.

Even at Dereck’s old age, Edgar, an old man, still had to clean up his mess.

Edgar waved his hand, his head throbbing, “That's enough. Everyone can leave

now.”

Alexei appeared after more than twenty minutes. His calm and stern demeanor couldn’t conceal his beaming

happiness. It was clear he had been flattered and charmed into a state of blissful contentment.

Edgar had never in his life seen such a triumphant expression on Alexei, his prematurely mature and steady

grandson.

He couldn't bear to look, but quickly found a blind spot.

Edgar vigilantly asked Alexei, “Where’s Natasha?”

Alexei smiled again. “She said she was gettinga gift.”

After Alexei and Natasha finished kissing in the corner, Alexei had intended to take her to greet Edgar and then

go home. But Natasha seemed to suddenly remember something and excitedly pushed him to go back first, then

disappeared.

Anyway, there was no danger at home, so he let her go and play.

Edgar's face tightened. He was annoyed when he saw Natasha, and even more annoyed when he didn’t.

But if Edgar asked Alexei, who would only casually tell Edgar that Natasha was mischievous and wandering

around.

‘Ha, just wandering around?‘ thought Edgar.

Edgar, feeling anxious, tentatively asked him, “What kind of gift is worth her getting herself?”

He knew well that their birthday gifts for him were perfunctory.

Expensive, yes, but completely soulless.

Meeting Alexei’s knowing gaze, Edgar uncomfortably cleared his throat and said seriously, “I'm afraid a servant

might neglect her and not even help her fetch something.”

Alexei smiled. “Grandpa, you don’t need to worry about it. She uses the household staff quite well.”

Edgar choked up, glared at him, and walked away angrily, thumping his cane.

As soon as Alexei was out of sight, Edgar quickly called the butler over. “Send someone to find out where

Natasha is and keep a close eye on her.”

Facing the butler’s bewildered expression, Edgar couldn't be bothered to explain.

In short, he didn’t want any more surprises tonight.

How thick-skinned must he be to put up with Natasha's antics like that?

Fortunately, Natasha, his future granddaughter-in-law, seemed to sense his anticipation and appeared shortly

after.

Upon seeing her wearing an expensive evening gown yet casually carrying a cello almost as tall as herself, Edgar

looked surprised.

‘She really went to get something?‘ thought Edgar.

Alexei immediately stepped forward, took the cello from her back, and held it himself. “Why didn’t you let

someone help you carry it?”

Natasha shook her head. “It’s fine. It’s not heavy. I'm afraid they'll get it damaged.”

She then grinned at Edgar, asking, “Mr. Turner, | heard you missed me?”

He even sent someone specifically to look for her.

Edgar's gaze flickered. “Alright, it’s good that you're fine.”

Natasha looked touched, saying, “Mr. Turner, | thought you didn’t likebecause you mentioned wanting

someone else as your granddaughter-in-law before. Turns out | misunderstood.”

Edgar quickly retorted, “When did | ever say that?”

“Your mouth didn’t say it, but your expression did.”

Edgar's face stiffened as he adamantly denied, “You're talking nonsense. Don’t

“Really? Am | your only recognized, most desired, and truly welcomed choice for Alexei’s fiancée?”

“Of course,” Edgar replied insincerely.

Alexei smiled slightly.

“Mr. Turner...” Chloe, her face dim, called out to him from the side as she cwith the Westwood couple to bid

farewell.

“Oh, Grandpa, someone is looking for you. We'll take our leave.” Natasha and Alexei immediately bid farewell,

holding hands.

Edgar felt like he had been tricked again.

He was embarrassed that the Westwood family had witnessed him going back on his word repeatedly.

Fortunately, he only sighed. He never truly intended for Chloe to marry into the family. No matter how good

Chloe was, with Teri around, Alexei was destined to have no relation with Chloe from the Westwood family.

But Chloe...

He sighed, “Cand visit the Turner family with your parents again when you

have time.”

Chloe pursed her lips and forced a smile, “Okay, Mr. Turner. Please take care of yourself.”

She had thought Edgar would be more satisfied with her than Natasha. The topic had been broached, but

Natasha, the scheming woman, had cut it off,

Now Edgar was completely unresponsive.

She felt tightness in her chest.

The butler next to him hesitated to speak.

‘My dear sir, you only saw Miss Clark take the cello. Why didn’t you ask where she got it from?‘ thought the

butler.

Remembering the ambulance that was just called, the butler decided to wait until all the guests had left before

telling Edgar the bad news.

Meanwhile, Alexei took Natasha to a quiet place to sit down.

He opened the cello case, which contained Unity’s favorite cello, the one that had accompanied her on many

stages.

It was said that Unity’s family had especially custom-made it for her when she cof age, paying a high price

for it.

The Schuman family was not as wealthy as the Turner family, but Unity grew up cherished by her parents.

However, the sound was mournful and pleading, filling one with inexplicable heaviness.

With an innocent expression, Natasha spoke fiercely, “I snatched it from Teri.”
