Alexei was exceptionally gentle that night.

He was overly gentle, and Natasha was worn down and felt uncomfortable

Weeping and angrily scolding him, she only received his mischievous question, “Have you counted properly?

How many more steps do you still owe?”

She babbled out numbers, and laughter welled up in his deep eyes. “You counted wrong. There will be a

punishment.”

“Alexei, you beast!”

“Sweetheart, don’t cry. Shall we just make it quick and satisfying?”

“Ugh...”

It didn’t get any better

Natasha was sobbing uncontrollably, and was even coaxed into certain intimate positions several times, almost

flooding the entire room.

The combined effect of alcohol and indulgence led to them staying holed up in the villa for two days.

Fortunately, things had been calm at that time. Even the Westwood family, known for their frequent anxious

maneuvers, had not made an appearance.

It was unclear if Edgar's attitude deterred them or if they were plotting something

new

Alexei carried the sleepy-eyed Natasha out of bed, dressed her, helped her brush her teeth, then brought her

downstairs to the dining table and served her sweet porridge

“Want to cto work withafter you finish eating?” asked Alexei

“No” She pouted, her lips still visibly red and slightly swollen. “I don’t want to see

The aftermath was too apparent. Anyone who saw them would know about their outrageous behavior.

‘Let Alexei handle the embarrassment. He's thick-skinned anyway, Natasha thought.

“Alright,” said Alexei, who leaned over and kissed her lips. “I'll be off work on time. today. What do you want to

eat tonight?”

“Hot pot!” Natasha's eyes lit up.

Alexei pinched her cheek. He wanted to tell her that her voice was hoarse and she shouldn't eat spicy food for

the next couple of days, but he had a hunch he would be hit if he said that, so he silently swallowed his words.

“Never mind. Tonight, | will prepare a double-flavored hotpot and coax her into eating more from the clear soup

side, thought Alexei.

“Wait forto chome,” he said, kissing her forehead.

“Wait a moment,” Natasha called out, tidying his tie. “Alright. Work hard, got it?

“He'd better not think about random things and botheragain, thought. Natasha.

Alexei smiled, “Yes, honey. Anything else?”

“Bring back a box of egg tarts from that store near your company when you

return.”

“Okay”

They took an hour to eat breakfast, lingering affectionately. Then, Alexei finally

went to work.

Shawn finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Alexei arrive.

daily that he was a workaholic.

‘However, since he started dating, he’s gone to the other extreme: he’s no longer punctual for work and wants to

leave the moment the clock hits quitting time.

As a regular special assistant, | truly bore too many responsibilities that are not

mine.

However, Shawn thought of his multi-figure annual salary...

He was good to go again.

“Mr. Turner,” Shawn said, handing over a document. “The project in the east of the city has been flagged, and an

investigation team was just established by the authorities.”

That project was the one Kinsley, Teri's second brother, brought to Turner Group, wanting to co-develop it with

Alexei.

Given the Westwood Group's strength, they shouldn't have been able to compete with Turner Group. In the end,

Kinsley only barely secured it by leveraging Isaac's

connections.

He acquired it but couldn't manage it, which conveniently provided an opportunity to offer Alexei sbenefits.

To his surprise, Alexei didn’t play along.

Alexei picked up the document and glanced at it, his deep-set eyes revealing the inherent coldness in his nature.

“Well done. Tell them not to rush. Slow progress. Desperation drives a man to extremes. The more they are

pushed to desperation, the more frantic they become, the easier it is for them to make mistakes”

Alexei never wanted that project from the start.

Something they put so much effort and cost into acquiring wouldn't arouse suspicion, would it?

The trap was laid long ago, waiting for the Westwood family to detonate it themselves.

“One more thing.” Shawn said after reporting on the matter about the Westwood family, then casually

mentioned the Clark family.

“Olivia is out of danger, but she doesn’t seem to be on good terms with the Clark family.”

A mocking smile appeared on Alexei’s lips. “Don’t interfere. Let them fight it out. themselves. Just keep a close

eye on them.”

Thinking about Natasha saying that night that she wanted to end it all, he felt the Clark family deserved to die

multiple times.

Out of consideration for them having given birth to Natasha, he didn’t have to

force them to die.

However, they must pay back an equal price.

“Yes, Shawn sighed, lowering his gaze, thinking, ‘Weren't they quite devoted to each other when Miss Clark was

around?

“How could such a fragile family bond crumble after facing a little hardship? Mr. Turner didn’t even unleash any

major moves.

The Clark family had indeed had a tough tthe past few days.

As Thomas expected, Olivia woke up with no intention of letting the matter slide.

Actually, her injuries weren't severe. Madeline had simply swung the knife unconsciously in a fit of agitation,

without much force. Thomas had also blocked it with his hand, so the stab wasn’t deep. It only looked a bit

gruesdue to the excessive bleeding.

However, Olivia had realized that without Emilia’s death as a connection, and with her imprisonment and ruined

reputation, she could no longer extract any more benefits from the Clark family.

“One hundred million dollars? Are you insane? Thomas stared at Olivia on the hospital bed in shock

Olivia sneered, “Or you can have Madeline go to jail.”

“She’s your mother!” Thomas emphasized.

“Mother? Back then, she made it clear she didn’t wantto call her ‘Mom. She said she was only Natasha's

mother.”

Thomas pursed his lips. “She had just learned the truth then. Don’t take what she said seriously. Olivia, you've

been part of the Clark family for seventeen years now. That won't change because of any past secrets.”

Olivia scoffed disdainfully, “Don’t try to play the emotional card with me. I’m not. Natasha, the idiot. Thomas, |

only want money.”

Thomas's expression was cold. “It is impossible for 70 million dollars. The Clark. family doesn’t have that kind of

money right now.”

The day after the birthday party, Clark Group's shares plummeted, and the intewas flooded with insults.

It was no exaggeration to say they could declare bankruptcy at any moment.

“That's your problem.”

“Olivia Sutton!” Thomas raised his voice. “What good would it do you if the Clark family collapsed?”

“And what harm would it do? How have you treatedsince | got out of prison? You didn’t even givea kind

look, let alone money. Why didn’t you remember our old ties back then?”

Thomas didn’t expect Olivia to be so ungrateful

Yes, their attitude wasn’t good.

However, if it had been Natasha or Noel who caused such significant trouble for the family and damaged the

company’s reputation, they would have been equally angry and would have punished them.

Furthermore, for the past decade or so. Olivia was absolutely doted on and had everything she wanted

It was clearly her mother who schemed against the Clark family. How could she still so boldly demand money

now?

However, Olivia absolutely refused to budge.

That was their last shred of hope.

Preventing bankruptcy was impossible, but there might be hope to resolve the debt issues.

Olivia's eyes flickered at the mention of patents.

She pulled the quilt up, her back to Thomas, and said, “Get out!”

Thomas angrily slammed the door and left.

Meanwhile, Noel, forgotten in the corner by the bickering pair, had a dazed expression.

He spent most of his life indulging in pleasures.

He was easily swayed, lacked his own opinions, yet was impulsive. In the past, he was Olivia's most convenient
