Stella 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

elaborate schagainst the Westwood family.

All her anger was directed at her.

Stella 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 Stella's accusations, she choked and completely fainted.

The maid looked hesitantly at Stella.

Stella 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, ctake a look, who else

should we invite?”

The tall and slender Quinn slowly walked over, casually glancing 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 was coming back later each day, Alexei finally couldn't sit still

anymore.

Before, when he was used to being alone, the office and hwere 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 tthis morning. How could Alexei be so all-thumbs?

“Forget it, 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, 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 hand play today.”

Natasha poked his chest muscles and pushed him away, shaking her head vigorously. “No.”

By his standards of “play,” she wouldn't be able to leave the house for the next three days.

Last tshe went rock climbing with Sadie, her legs gave out and she almost fell, and Sadie mocked her

mercilessly.

To avoid further embarrassment, last 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? | learned snew 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 her company, | won't go out to play so much.”

Besides, knowing he would wait for her, she would always chno matter how late 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 but laugh. ‘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 you complete the dog-walking

task by yourself today?”

Alexei nodded obediently.

“Don’t pretend to lose anything and makebring 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't compete with.

After making Alexei leave in anger, Sadie triumphantly waved her hand. “Con, get in the car!

Sadie took Natasha to a modern 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 explained that there was a pivotal wedding scene

planned. To align with the storyline, they had specially commissioned an expensive wedding dress after acquiring

funds.

Today, he specifically cto 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

displayed. 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 ragged lately with wedding preparations. Lucas was completely 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 reclaimed 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 flawlessly.

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 tic 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!”

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 slapped him, her nails leaving red marks

on Lucas’ face.

Lucas was enraged and slapped 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 .

“Olivia!” Thomas, holding a document bag, burst in furiously, charging towards Olivia with scarlet, resentful

eyes.
