Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved novel Chapter 161

Actually, the instrument had originally been collected by Dereck.

When Dereck and Teri argued, Natasha heard Teri say, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re hiding in your study? You never let me in, not because it’s

inconvenient, but because you don’t want me to know you’re still pining for a dead person!”

Natasha thought everything else Teri said was nonsense, but her assessment of Dereck as hypocritical was spot on.

Unity was gone. What was the point of his feigning deep affection now?

Unity’s grandparents‘ misfortune was indirectly caused by his obsession.

If Dereck had understood earlier and let Unity go, Unity could have recovered, with her loving parents, a well–behaved son, and a career she had dedicated her life to, even if she divorced.

However, Dereck refused. He was insatiably greedy.

His entanglement caused great suffering for everyone in the Schuman family.

Natasha thought, ‘If I were Unity and knew he was repeatedly cherishing my mementos, I wouldn’t be touched and would only feel disgusted.‘

Moreover, Teri had fallen out with Dereck, and Natasha was worried Teri would do something.

Unity’s mementos were not suitable for Dereck or Teri to have. Giving it to Alexei was just right.

As the head of the Turner family, Alexei couldn’t afford to act out, but she could.

Natasha thought about that. Without wasting time, she sent Alexei away with a few kisses and immediately returned.

It was a good thing that she had a sudden idea and came back.

She even admired Teri’s infatuation. Even after being completely bandaged and

concussed, Teri still managed to hold on, struggling to direct someone to pry open the study lock and retrieve Unity’s memento.

When Natasha came looking, Teri was furiously having someone chop up the instrument.

Faced with Natasha’s intervention, Teri was seething with anger.

However, Natasha, completely unashamed, puffed out her chest and brazenly declared she was malicious, domineering, and rude, adding that if Teri was unhappy, she could go complain.

Complaining?

Where would Teri complain?

To Alexei? That was the source of Natasha’s brazenness.

Let alone snatching an instrument, even if Natasha told Teri to get out of the Turner Mansion, Alexei would only smile and say, “Natasha is young and has a bad temper. You older ones should indulge her.” That would infuriate Teri to no end.

Find Edgar?

Natasha had caused so much commotion throughout the Turner family, yet Edgar still couldn’t forbid her from marrying into the Turner family.

The person in charge of the family had changed.

Teri was already injured, experiencing chest tightness and blurred vision. After Natasha, who was impervious to criticism, bluntly confronted her, Teri genuinely vomited blood and fainted from anger.

When the butler arrived and saw the scene, he was terrified.

‘If Teri truly died of anger at the Turner family, Edgar would not be far from dying of anger himself, thought the butler.

His scalp tingled as he quickly called an ambulance and sent Teri and Dereck next door to the hospital.

Alexei’s wife was too formidable. The butler believed it was safer for Teri and

Listening to Natasha vividly describe the scene, Alexei couldn’t help but smile.

He now understood why the butler had been so visibly shaken and hesitant to speak when he returned with Natasha.

He gently pinched Natasha’s cheek, saying, “If my mother were still alive, she would definitely have loved you.”

Natasha blinked, saying, “She already liked me.”

Upon seeing her proud, self–satisfied look, Alexei couldn’t help but recall the day they went to pay respects to Unity after Lane’s incident.

The weather was clear, with no wind or clouds, but after they finished speaking with Alexei’s mother and maternal grandparents, a small wild flower suddenly blew toward them.

Natasha said it was a sign of blessing from Alexei’s elders.

Alexei smiled.

Only when he was with Natasha would he notice a flower or a blade of grass.

It wasn’t that they were inherently meaningful. It was Natasha who gave them meaning.

In the past, every tomb–sweeping visit felt somber, but with Natasha’s companionship, Alexei truly felt like a lighthearted visit to relatives in another

world.

Alexei suddenly called out, “Natasha.”

Natasha raised her head in a daze.

Right as he leaned in for a kiss.

His warm, soft lips touched hers briefly, then Alexei, smiling, reached out and caressed her face with utmost tenderness.

“Natasha Clark,” Alexei called out again.

It was meaningless. He just wanted to call her name.

How could anyone in the world not love Natasha?

Olivia’s hospital bed was wheeled into the operating room.

The Clark family’s father and two sons stood wearily at the door.

Madeline was given a tranquilizer and had fallen asleep.

However, it was not the most serious issue. Madeline attacked people in front of many guests tonight. She was certainly provoked and unintentionally wielded the knife due to her unstable mental state.

But it happened in plain sight, so they couldn’t cover it up even if they wanted to.

And putting aside what outsiders think, Olivia herself was a major, tricky problem.

Previously, they could have treated it as an accident among family members and simply not pursued the matter.

However, as for Olivia now, they were not confident.

No one was a fool. Olivia’s release from prison and their interactions during the Clark family’s crisis had been enough for them to realize Olivia was nothing like the gentle, kind, and generous person they remembered.

Anyone can be a good person when life is good.

Moreover, Olivia still had to rely on the Clark family for survival back then.

But what about now? Without any benefits, would Olivia still value their mother- daughter bond and overlook things?

For a moment, they didn’t know whether to wish for her to wake up or not

Compared to Andrew and Thomas, who were calculating gains and losses, Noel was more concerned with the truth Shawn revealed at the party.

Noel stared at the ticking time displayed at the operating room door and suddenly asked, “Dad, Thomas, was Natasha truly wronged?”

Even the gentle and kind Emilia, Olivia’s mother, as described by the elders, wanted to take her with her at that time

Noel always thought Olivia was pitiful, weak, and easily hurt by the sharper

Natasha.

He had always been closer to Olivia, who was more understanding.

However, he felt completely uneasy when he suddenly learned Natasha had been framed for death and had borne the burden for seventeen years.
