Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Amidst widespread surprise, only Minerva remained relatively calm.

Her and Avery’s return was indeed a surprise, but their timing was specifically orchestrated by someone.

The person behind it knew them well, and she certainly didn’t refuse.

She suspected someone was plotting something, but it didn’t matter to her.

The more chaotic the Turner family became, the happier she was. She just treated it like watching a grand show.

The moment she saw Alexei and Natasha in the main building, she realized who her true

target was.

However, it was clear that they had won last night’s confrontation.

Minerva smiled faintly and lowered her head to eat.

She wished Edgar would live a little longer, just to witness the consequences of his actions.

But not everyone could remain indifferent. Most of the Turner family realized this was Alexei’s warning.

He could have handled the whole thing more discreetly and take out Melvin’s family without anyone noticing.

But he deliberately didn’t hide it. He was precisely telling them that all their actions were under his control.

Previously, they only vaguely felt that Alexei had hung a sword over their heads, making them live in constant fear. Now, they saw signs of it falling.

Cheryl fearfully recalled the

past,

At this moment, she even felt a little fortunate that Cade had already been dealt with at the previous auction.

Although years of their hard work were wasted, at least they were still alive.

It was also fortunate that Gabriel was not prominent among his siblings, and she came from a nouveau riche background and only joined the Turner family solely on her beauty.

Because she lacked confidence, back then, she would at most mock Unity with a few words

and snatch her food. She didn’t do anything more ruthless.

At this thought, Cheryl decided to go back and properly warn her two children to let go of their resentment and absolutely not to think about causing trouble.

Cheryl thought, ‘Alexei is practically not human. He’s a cold–blooded monster.

Just thinking about the car crash photos, she became intensely distraught.

While Gabriel’s family could still avoid Alexei’s influence, some old grievances would not dissipate simply because the circumstances had changed.

Next to the incredibly silent Dereck, Teri clearly felt her hand trembling as she bent to pick up the knife and fork.

In this family, apart from Lane’s family, she and Dereck had the deepest grievances with

Alexei.

Teri thought, ‘Alexei has already made his move. How could he show us mercy?‘

Then, she forced herself to calm down.

She believed that the Westwood family was not like Lane’s maternal family.

The Westwood family was a powerful family with influence in the military and politics. They were unknown nobodies.

She was the only girl in her family for the past few generations.

If she had not desperately insisted on marrying Dereck back then, her family would never have supported her marrying a divorced man with a child.

Even though they were childhood sweethearts, after Dereck’s marriage, Teri’s family had looked down on Dereck.

Because of this, Teri was in a heated argument with her family back then.

Even so, they helped her achieve her wish. Dereck was able to develop his influence abroad amidst numerous challenges. The Westwood family played a crucial role in that.

Four years ago, after Alexei broke Dereck’s leg, the Westwood family had a brief confrontation with Alexei.

Because Alexei was only retaliating against his unfaithful father, the Westwood family

couldn’t do much for Dereck,

Back then, they were indeed in the wrong.

Of course, more importantly, Alexei had already risen to power at that time, while Dereck was clearly ruined.

Even if the Westwood family wanted to settle scores with Alexei, they had to consider whether they could afford to provoke him.

Besides Teri, they had many other children.

They could not go above and beyond with their favoritism.

But Teri was unaware of the circumstances, or rather, she was too confident in her family.

After all, she leveraged her family’s status to gain an advantage back then.

Teri picked up her knife and fork, lowered her head, and stared at the plate she had scratched with her knife. Her expression was solomn.

Alexei couldn’t go to the hospital the next day because Natasha got sick.

Too much had happened the night before.

She had been drenched in the rain for a long time, and her emotions were extremely tense

throughout.

Later, she ran up and down to deal with the things Lane had prepared in the annex building.

After returning, she relaxed, and in the early morning, she developed a fever.

Alexei noticed something was wrong when he felt that she was getting hotter and hotter in his arms.

Dylan, who had finally gone back to his apartment to sleep despite the rain, was called up again.

He was incredibly upset.

While muttering complaints about why Alexei only came to him for medical assistance, he still rushed to Natasha’s villa.

He had a good impression of Natasha, mainly because she was the only one who could rein

in Alexei.

He felt that it would be a shame if the fever caused her any damage.

Fortunately, it was just a common fever caused by getting caught in the rain.

Having lived under the immense pressure of the Clark family for over a decade, Natasha’s mental fortitude remained strong.

With a calm mind, she wouldn’t be afraid of the eerie atmosphere and incident from last night.

Dylan hooked up her IV drip and yawned.

He said, “Alright, once this bottle is done, just make sure she takes medicine on time, and she will be fine. Let me take a nap in your living room for a bit.”

He couldn’t get a bed at that villa, so he went to lie down in the living room for a while, just ir case the high–maintenance Alexei called him back.

Without waiting for Alexei’s reply, he walked straight out.

The room quieted down. Natasha had a pale face flushed with red, with a few wisps of hair stuck to her forehead.

The contrast of colors was striking. She felt an itch but didn’t want to lift her hand, so she rubbed her face vigorously against the pillow a few times.

Devoid of her usual vibrancy, she looked needlessly pitiful.

Alexei stood by, brushing strands of hair from her face, his gaze unreadable as he looked at her blushing cheeks.

In his oppressive presence, her soft pinky hooked onto his.

She said, “You had an injection last night, and I have one today. Do we really need to be this in sync?”

Natasha opened her eyes and, with a smile, shook his hand.

Alexei sat on the bed, holding her close, careful not to touch her hand with the needle.

He said, “It’s better not to be in sync this way.”

He lowered his head and kissed her.

Natasha tilted her head back to dodge, her expression a clear refusal.

She said, “Haven’t you heard that colds and fevers can be transmitted through kissing?” Alexei forcibly held her shaking head and kissed her.

After a long pause, he said hoarsely, “Then it’s just right to pass it to me.”

Natasha responded by giving him a firm pinch on his waist. “I suspect you’re trying to take advantage of me.”

The pinched spot on his waist didn’t bother him. He smiled faintly, “How can caring for a patient be considered taking advantage?”
