By the third day, when Natasha had fully recovered her vitality, Alexei took her to the hospital to visit Edgar.

When Edgar saw Alexei, who had finally appeared, walk in hand in hand with Natasha, he had initially intended to make a few sarcastic remarks.

But, considering the reality, he held them back.

He also knew about Lane’s situation. The funeral date had already been set.

Lane’s family, upon hearing the news, refused the Turner family’s invitation to attend, stating that Lane had been considered dead long ago to them.

Their words were filled with resentment, implying they were redirecting their anger towards her for dragging their whole family down.

Regarding this, Edgar could only say that it was karma.

He let out a breath. “I want Avery and Minerva to bring Archer back to the Turner Mansion on the day of Lane’s funeral. What do you

think?”

Alexei casually played with Natasha’s fingers and chuckled, “How do I see it? Of course, I’ll stand and watch.”

Just as Edgar was about to get angry, Alexei calmly said, “Grandpa, are you so old that you can’t even decide on something this simple yourself?”

Edgar stared at him for a long time, then finally sighed in relief and waved his hand, “Alright, there’s nothing for you to do here.

“You have visited me, so you can go back now. I’ll be discharged by the time of the funeral.”

Alexei didn’t decline. He and Natasha decisively stood up and said, “Grandpa, get well soon. We’re leaving now.”

Edgar closed his eyes, finding peace in not seeing them.

He thought, ‘Get out now.

‘I am afraid I’d explode with anger if they stayed any longer.

After they left, the butler, who was caring for Edgar at the hospital, asked in confusion, “Weren’t you planning to discuss with Mr. Turner what to do with Archer?”

Edgar shook his head.

He said, “As long as he doesn’t interfere, it will be the best situation for Avery’s family.”

Avery should consider himself fortunate that his family left the family before and didn’t participate in the subsequent turmoil.

Alexei didn’t think highly of Avery, but Avery’s family was the only one that had never done anything to him. He wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for them.

Since he asked Edgar to take charge of this matter, he meant that he would stay out of this

matter.

The assets Edgar possessed, which everyone fought for, were an immense fortune for everyone in the family. However, to Alexei, they were insignificant.

Edgar thought, ‘Alexei’s drive and vision truly surpass the rest of his family.

‘What a pity.’

Edgar sighed. Had he known, he would never have stood idly by and let his children bully Unity and Alexei in the past.

However, there was no regretting the past,

Knowing his decision would cause another uproar at home in a few days, he immediately felt a headache.

Since they were already at the hospital, Alexei was in no hurry to leave, deciding to take Natasha for another re–examination.

Natasha, fed up with taking medicine, resisted, “I’m really all better now. Don’t you trust Dr. Reyes’s medical skills?”

Alexei frowned, “I heard you coughing last night.”

“I just choked on water when I got up in the middle of the night.”

“It won’t hurt to check,” he said, then reached out to grab her.

Natasha pouted, holding his hand, and squatted on the ground, whining, “Please, seeing a doctor is such a hassle.”

Alexei had never seen her throw such a tantrum before, and he found it amusing.

He was about to tell her that they would drop it since she really didn’t want to, when a surprised male voice came from behind him.

Lucas said, “Natasha!”

He came to the hospital for a reason.

Emmanuel had dramatically changed his attitude for some unknown reason since Lucas signed the land transfer agreement with Ramona.

He had previously relinquished control of the company’s business, but now he had taken it back.

A company would never do well if it had two people calling shots at the same time.

Previously, Emmanuel had intended to cede authority, which allowed Lucas to demonstrate his capabilities fully. He had proven to be quite capable.

But now Emmanuel intended to regain control, which made Lucas feel somewhat constrained in the company.

A few days ago, he heard his mother say again that Emmanuel had been acting strangely recently. His mother asked him to be careful recently.

Lucas understood the hidden meaning and immediately retorted, but only received a complex look from his mother.

In the past, he always strived to be first in everything and did everything perfectly. He was successful in both academics and business, moving forward unstoppably.

Emmanuel was satisfied with him, so even though Lucas had an affair, he would keep it tightly hidden.

Lucas’s status as the sole heir of the Wright family, coupled with his father’s unreserved support, made many people envious of him.

But he repeatedly lost his head because of Olivia.

Ultimately, life had been too easy for him.

It allowed Emmanuel to see the weaknesses in the seemingly perfect Lucas.

He learned that Lucas was decisive and efficient in business, yet indecisive in relationships.

Though seemingly unrelated, if any part went wrong, his personal life would completely

undermine his career.

Alexei’s appearance further exacerbated this crisis.

Not putting all his eggs in one basket, Emmanuel naturally had to make other plans. He was a calculating person, after all.

Lucas was essentially put on probation.

Facing Emmanuel’s ruthlessness for the first time, the feeling of his beliefs collapsing left him chilled to the bone.

But having seen the view from the pinnacle of power, he would not willingly return to the second–in–command position.

Cracks quietly formed in the once close relationship and alliance between Emmanuel and

Lucas.

Lucas felt both agony and exhilaration in battling an adversary who knew him best.

The psychological thrill of metaphorical patricide plunged him into a state of anxious excitement.

He realized that only by overcoming this formidable obstacle could he truly become the undisputed head of the Wright family.

Indeed, this was just another test for him.

In this agonizing situation, Lucas instinctively wanted to confide in Natasha.

If there was anyone in this world who would always support and trust him without concern for personal gain or loss, even if it meant forsaking all morals and principles, that
