However, before the panic of losing consciousness could set in, a tough, branched flower branch with sharp leaves whipped across Dereck’s dazed and contorted face, hitting a vulnerable spot that had been injured by the person who had suddenly been flung at him.

Immediately followed by Natasha’s anxious voice, “Teri, stop hitting! Slapping someone’s face won’t kill them! Even if Dereck doesn’t love you, you’re still

husband and wife!”

Then came the sound of an ashtray hitting Teri’s forehead.

“Oh, my god, Dereck, you’re brutal! What if Teri’s head is broken? The Westwood family has people here today!”

“Dereck Turner!” Teri roared instinctively.

Then came another clear, loud slap, and the sound of fingernails scratching through skin.

The sound of glass shards scattering.

The sound of paper scattering and chairs overturning, tripping people.

The sound of clothes being torn apart.

And the sound of strangling and kicking, of fists hitting flesh.

“Teri Turner! You crazy woman!”

“Dereck Turner! I’ll kill you! How dare you touch me!”

“Enough! Stop it! Bitch!”

“I’ll take you down with me! Dereck Turner, you’re not a man!”

“Stop fighting! Stop! Teri, Dereck is here!”

*****

Inside the brightly lit party hall, the orchestra played cheerfully.

In the dark, tightly shut room, a chorus of high and low, emotionally charged voices resounded.

The maids waiting outside were terrified by the loud and chaotic screams coming from the room.

A maid cautiously approached Frieda, asking, “Is it sure Miss Clark went in? Why does the noise inside sound even louder?”

Frieda also looked worried and hesitated, saying, “Probably. Maybe she couldn’t stop them either?”

Another male servant hesitated and said, “Should we go in and check?”

“No!” Frieda said with a stern expression, “Miss Clark said no one is allowed to go in! Do you want to be held accountable by Mr. Alexei for disobeying Miss Clark’s order?”

“But…” someone said fearfully, “What if they hurt Miss Clark? We’d be finished.”

Even if Dereck and Teri were sent to the emergency room, it would be fine. But if Natasha so much as got a scratch inside, Alexei might really skin them alive.

The group trembled with fear.

They suddenly regretted asking Natasha to come.

Frieda worriedly pursed her lips, then spoke with a firm tone, “Don’t get in! We’ll listen to Miss Clark!”

They exchanged glances, agonizingly waiting for the ten minutes to pass

Inside the room.

Natasha, out of breath from “mediating“, caught her breath and stretched her limbs, sore and weary from exertion

She estimated the time, then located Dereck and Teri, whose cursing had gradually faded to faint, weak sounds

Natasha kicked Dereck, overturning his wheelchair. Dereck rolled several times on the cluttered floor. His body landed on glass shards, letting out a terrible scream.

She then hit the back of Teri, who was groggy and had just managed to stand, with a chair. It caused Teri’s chest to hit the table hard as she fell. The pain made her mind go blank for a moment.

Mission accomplished

Ten minutes passed, and the lights came on

Natasha stood in the room, which looked as if a tornado had passed through it. She wore a soft, shimmering green dress, appeared clean and tidy except for a light sheen of sweat on her forehead. Natasha stood away from Dereck and Teri, groaning on the floor.

She covered her mouth in surprise, saying, “My goodness. Dereck, Teri, how did you get into such a fight?”

“This is bad,” she added, stepping back a few paces, a worried expression on her face. “Something big has happened.”

Sensing her intention, Dereck and Teri, who were on the verge of fainting from pain, surprisingly said in unison, “Don’t go!”

However, Natasha was quicker with her mouth and her feet. “I’m going to get someone!”

Dereck and Teri closed their eyes, utterly resigned.

It was bad enough that the couple fought and were seriously injured, but being exposed to others was worse than death.

Natasha walked out of the room with a smirk on her lips.

Upon seeing the terrified maids in the distance, she waved to them. “Mr. Dereck and Mrs. Teri fought, and both of them were injured. They don’t want to be seen, so you clean up later. I’m going to inform everyone.”

Then, she walked briskly toward the party hall.

At the birthday party hall, Edgar, surrounded by his children and grandchildren,

stood before the cake, raising his hand to cut it.

He looked around, then glanced at Alexei, “Where is she?”

Alexei’s lips curved slightly, and a doting smile spread across his face as he said, “She went to play.”

Edgar grumbled, “Hmph, she can’t settle down.”

Who was it that said she would watch him cut the cake?

Natasha wasn’t under his watchful eye, and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

“Grandpa!”

Speak of the devil.

A clear and bright voice, though the speaker tried to suppress it, still carried a hint of joy, reaching everyone’s ears from the main entrance.

Everyone turned their heads to look.

Edgar’s heart skipped a beat.

His hand trembled.

The spot where he had intended to cut precisely landed on the word Happy in “Happy Birthday” on the cake.

He split it into two halves.

Before anyone could stop her, Natasha began chattering like a singing nightingale, exclaiming, “Something big has happened! Alexei’s father and his stepmother are fighting!”

For a moment, everyone doubted their ears.

They thought, ‘Alexei’s father and his stepmother? Aren’t they Dereck and Teri, his wife?‘

‘Oh, no. It’s his second wife.‘

Natasha’s mention of “stepmother” reminded everyone that Teri, Dereck’s second wife, was originally his mistress and married him, leveraging her family background.

However, could these two, one a delicate noblewoman and the other a man with a broken leg, really get into a fight?

“How is that possible?” Isaac, Teri’s elder brother, was the first to speak in shock.
