Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved novel Chapter 168

Thomas pressed his lips together, not answering, and instead glanced at Natasha again.

She quietly watched the farce, her expression indifferent, showing no emotion.

Thomas sighed inwardly, realizing things were no longer the same.

Thomas eventually took Noel out of the police station because Madeline’s mental state had improved, and she wanted to see Noel.

Both sets of parents signed, and lawyers would naturally handle the rest.

After leaving the police station, Natasha offered to take Leonie home, but Leonie vehemently shook her head, refusing.

What a joke. How could someone of her standing bother Alexei to be her driver?

She grinned, pulling her friends along. “No need to send me off. I’ll go with them. Everyone is staying at my place tonight, and we’ll part ways tomorrow morning”

With so many people, safety wasn’t an issue. To take them home, Alexei arranged for two additional drivers to escort them home.

Unlike the joyful scene of victory on the other side, the atmosphere between the Clark family brothers was cold enough to freeze.

Noel watched Natasha, whose laughter was clear under a distant streetlamp, and suddenly asked Thomas, “What you said just now is true? Will you really give up on me?”

Although there was an intention to use Natasha’s soft heart to easily resolve the issue, the statement about not wanting to deal with Noel was not an empty promise.

Noel, being closest to Thomas, was the most sensitive.

If not for the call from Madeline just now, Thomas might have left Noel alone at the police station.

“Why?” Noel’s voice trembled

In just a short time, his parents were not the perfect parents he had imagined, hist sister was not the one he had once been close to and trusted, and his brother had also revealed a cold and heartless side.

The happy and harmonious home he had cherished for twenty–one years was shattered

“Aren’t you my brother?” he asked, his voice filled with deep pain and doubt.

“Brother?” Thomas said mockingly, “If I could, I wouldn’t want a younger brother.”

Noel’s mind reeled as if struck, and he stood frozen in place

Thomas said nothing more, casting an indifferent glance at the source of the commotion. He happened to meet the thoughtful gaze of Natasha, who was staring at them

The former siblings looked at each other across the distance, and Thomas’s gaze was complex

He w

the first to avert his gaze from Natasha’s clear eyes, which seemed to see through everything. He closed his eyes, got into the car, and glanced at Noel, who was still standing foolishly. “Get in,” he said, “or are you walking back?”

Noel’s lips pursed into a straight line as he silently gazed at Thomas through the car window, seeing him as both familiar and strange,

Thomas couldn’t be bothered to sort things out for Noel. In any case, he wouldn’t see Madeline until tomorrow. With a blank expression, he drove his car straight

away.

Leonie saw Noel, who had been left behind, from afar. Surprised, she nudged her friend next to her and commented, “Now that’s a ‘plastic‘ brotherhood.”

The relationships within that family appear to be even less close than the bond she shared with Alexei and Natasha, her distant cousin and cousin–in–law.

Feeling the gazes from that direction, some amused, some sympathetic, Noel stiffened his body and controlled himself not to look at Natasha.

Her attitude was clear. He couldn’t shamelessly ask for a ride again.

She would ignore him.

Just as he once stood with Olivia, she now stood against him, with no possibility of reconciliation.

Noel, clutching his shattered phone, walked alone into the night with an empty

heart.

After a tumultuous evening, Natasha collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she got home.

Alexei walked over, smiled, bent down, and kissed her face.. “Tired?”

Natasha rolled over, extending both arms toward him, signaling him to pull her up. “I want to take another shower.”

After encountering a few unpleasant people, she didn’t want to go to bed without washing up.

However, Alexei didn’t pull her arm. Instead, he bent down, scooped her up, and easily lifted her in a carry.

“I’ll help you.”

Twenty minutes later.

“Alexei!” A startled voice, mixed with something else, rang out from the bathroom.

Natasha, soaking in the bathtub, her face flushed, gritted her teeth and said, “Didn’t we agree you would help? I’m not washing anymore.”

Looking at the water splashing around the edge of the bathtub and feeling new

“Darling,” Alexei whined, his voice aggrieved after the slap, “You promised to make it up to me when we got home.”

Alexei had endured several more hours because of Leonie, the brat.

Natasha was speechless. Alexei was getting incredibly good at feigning pity.

Leonie was wrong. Alexei was not cold. Instead, he vented

all his anger on her.

Natasha, who had originally hoped to avoid tonight, resignedly nudged him and shyly said, “Not here.”

Alexei chuckled, “Almost ready.”

In the early hours of the morning, in the cluttered room, Alexei contentedly kissed Natasha’s forehead. Natasha, in his arms, had instantly fallen asleep from

exhaustion.

He checked the time and turned off both their phones.

As they parted, Leonie even tried to trick Natasha into going to their school. tomorrow morning to watch the young university men’s basketball game, didn’t she?

Not a chance.

He couldn’t compete with Sadie, the eldest legitimate daughter. Could he not overcome a mere girl?

His victory mindset led him to selectively overlook his own petty actions.

Embracing his sweet–smelling, soft wife, he also indulged in his sweet dreams.

Waking up near noon the next day, Natasha undoubtedly missed Leonie’s invitation. Retrieving her turned–off phone, she immediately discovered Alexei’s

little scheme.

It was safe to say they now knew each other inside and out.

Feeling both annoyed and amused, she tugged at Alexei’s ear.

“Alexei, you’re being so childish,” said Natasha.
