All the guests in the venue subtly turned their gaze towards them, and the scene was eerily quiet.

Natasha suddenly laughed in this suffocating atmosphere. She bent down and pulled Teri up, and chided lightly,

“Mrs. Turner, what are you saying? Inciting others to suicide is also a crime.”

Teri was unwilling to stand up, stubbornly waiting for an answer, but Natasha's grip was firm and unyielding.

Cora followed closely behind, pulling back Teri, who was still trying to move forward, and whispered, “Enough,

stop making a scene.”

Then she looked at the maid beside her and said, “Teri is not feeling well. Take her to rest.”

Teri wanted to struggle, but Natasha walked over and quietly asked in her ear, “Teri, can you bring the Turner

family back to life?”

Teri froze.

The dead could not be brought back to life, and the past could not be undone.

She couldn't do it.

She looked at Alexei and Natasha, who were once again standing hand in hand. Their gaze towards her was just

as she had once looked down on Unity.

A life was worthless, and it couldn't move her conscience.

So, without any burden, she made Unity give way for her love,

Now, she deserved it.

Natasha's attitude was Alexei’s. Teri understood. The last flicker of light in her eyes died out.

Tears welled up. With a self-mocking expression, she shook off the maid's hand that was holding her. “I'll walk by

myself,” she said.

Her family suddenly turned against her, their gazes filled with resentment and accusation; her husband's cold

and distant attitude, unchanging for years; a hshe couldn't return to, a lover she could never reach. Her life

was like a joke.

How boring.

Teri stumbled out of the gate and into the darkness.

Natasha looked back. In the shadows, a branch scratched Teri's dress, and the strong wind tousled her hair, but

she remained oblivious, simply walking forward in silence.

Teri, who had lived a life of pride, finally tasted the bitter agony of a shattered spine and a ruined family in the

latter half of her life.

“Alexei is very lucky.” The woman of the hour, Arianna, walked over to Quinn, who was observing the commotion

at the entrance.

Teri had gone after Alexei, but before he could speak, Natasha had lightly yet firmly blocked her; her protective

stance was enviable.

Alexei grew up in such a family, but he met someone who loved him

wholeheartedly, disregarded personal gain, and happened to be the one he loved. It was truly moving.

Quinn watched Alexei, who had shed his usual aloofness, now smiling and stroking Natasha's head, as if

muttering to himself, “Alexei has indeed always been lucky.”

too,” Arianna said, linking her arm through his.

Quinn paused, then smiled and raised a hand to touch her hair.

On the other side, Alexei had already led Natasha to Edgar.

“Edgar, long tno see,” she said.

Edgar chuckled and forced pleasantries. “It’s good, glad you came. Go sit and rest.

You don’t need to help today.”

Natasha opened her wide eyes, her long lashes fluttering. “Really? But | really want to help. How about I go help

Cora oversee the schedule?”

Edgar couldn't maintain his smile. “No need. Those girls were just looking for you.”

He looked at Alexei, hinting, “It’s boring here. Why don’t you take Natasha to play

with them?”

Alexei gazed dotingly at Natasha, who was teasing Edgar, and hooked her pinky finger.

Natasha looked disappointed. “Alright, alright. You don’t like chatting withanyway. Ill just go play with my

Leonie instead.”

After speaking, she seemed to console herself, “Anyway, young people are much cuter than sbiased old

men.”

Edgar was speechless.

On such occasions, Alexei was invariably caught up in social pleasantries. Natasha found the flattery from those

people boring, so she left him and went off to play.

However, after finding Leonie, she discovered another acquaintance was present.

Several lively younger relatives surrounded the person in the middle, curiously asking how Arnatar’s insects

differed from those domestically, which species was more ferocious, and seven brought their unusual pets

to ask about.

“Long tno see.” A smile graced Archer's handsface.

Natasha looked at him in surprise. “Has your research in Arnatar concluded?”

Archer shook his head. “It’s just a temporary break. I'm escorting my mother back for recuperation.”

Minerva’s heart transplant surgery was successful, but her health was not as good as before. She said she

wanted to return to her homeland, so Avery brought her

back as she requested.

It coincided with Quinn’s engagement. Since their family had already made a formal appearance before, Edgar

called them all back this time.

In his twilight years, rather than fostering cutthroat competition, he seemed to prefer seeing his descendants

happy.

Natasha raised an eyebrow. “Where are Minerva and Avery?”

Archer smiled. “It’s too noisy here. My dad took my mom to the lounge to rest.”

“Oh.” Natasha was speechless for a moment. She wasn’t very familiar with him.

Instead, Leonie and a few other young boys and girls chattered excitedly about the interesting stories Archer had

just told about observing insects in the rainforest. Natasha listened in, occasionally joining their chat.

Archer sat nearby, a faint smile in his beautiful eyes.

Thinking of the scene that had just unfolded at the entrance and the news he had occasionally heard from within

the country, he realized he might have been mistaken before.

Natasha was indeed a free butterfly, but when provoked, she could turn into a lioness with sharp claws.

The Turner family could not hold her back, and Alexei could not let her be trapped.

He had taken really good care of her.

She was bright and free-spirited, loved to laugh and be playful, a complete contrast to the disheartened and

gloomy girl trapped in that heavy rain seven

years ago.

A waiter nearby stumbled, spilling drinks towards Natasha, who was seated on the sofa.

Archer subconsciously rushed over to shield her.

However, the next second, Natasha was already in another person's arms.

Alexei’s back was damp, but he immediately frowned and looked at Natasha, asking, “Did any get on you?”

Natasha was dazed and hadn't even processed it yet. “I'm fine.”

It was just a glass of drink; even if she got wet, it wouldn't matter.

Alexei, however, had blocked it at close range and gotten much wetter.

She said, “Your clothes are dirty. Go change.”

Alexei took her hand and said, “Cwith me.”

Natasha smiled helplessly, shaking his hand. “Alright, alright, let's go together.”

Alexei didn’t care that they were in public, lowering his head to kiss her cheek. “Thank you, baby.”

A group of younger relatives shouted, “It's so sweet!” They joked that Alexei and Natasha always showed off.

Usually, they'd all be scared of Alexei and avoid him, but at times like this, they dared to tease him boldly.

Alexei smiled as he looked at Archer, who was standing very close. “Excuse us.”

Archer slightly turned his body and stepped aside without a word.

Alexei had only appeared for a minute before he took Natasha away again. Everyone envied how good their

relationship was, while murmuring about how possessive Alexei was.

The subtle tension between the two men went unnoticed by everyone.

Only Leonie, huddled in the corner, was lost in thought. She looked at Archer, who had been the first to notice

Natasha was in danger and now stood there feeling wistful, staring blankly at his hand that had been a moment

too slow to reach out.

She was stunned. ‘Oh my god, did | uncover another little secret?”
