Ramona approached them. Although she had a small share, she attended as a guest today.
She had planned to invite Natasha to hang out, but Natasha was already here.
Compared to having fun, doing a favor for Alexei wasn’t a bad idea. She truly was a little genius.
As the inviting party, she cheerfully greeted Natasha and Alexei and chatted briefly, then tactfully and quickly left to find other entertainment.
On one hand, she tactfully gave them private space. On the other hand, she still remembered Natasha’s sharp tongue and, as a single person, she didn’t want to repeat that experience.
The formal party was in the evening, but the event lasted two days and one night. During the daytime today and tomorrow, everyone could freely enjoy themselves. on the yacht.
Since Roderick’s incident, Natasha hadn’t felt relaxed enough to look at the sea for a long time.
Standing by the railing, feeling the wind, and watching the seabirds fly by, she contentedly curved her lips.
Alexei smiled as he looked at her. “Our family has a yacht, too. If you like, I’ll take you out to sea every year from now on.”
Natasha’s eyes curved into crescents as she hugged his waist. “Can you drive it?”
Alexei raised an eyebrow. “Of course.”
Natasha praised him again, swaying back and forth while hugging him. “Alexei, how can you do everything?”
For once, he found himself grateful for his past self.

“Natasha,” he called out to her.
Natasha looked up. “Hmm?”
Smiling, he leaned in and kissed her red lips.
“You think I’m amazing, shouldn’t I be rewarded?”
Natasha reached out and poked his cheek, saying, “So shameless.”
Alexei just smiled and said nothing, holding her hand and kissing it.

Looking at the sweet man and woman over there, Lucas, who was about to step outside for some fresh air, stopped in his tracks.
He didn’t even remember having such intimate and dependent interactions with Natasha.
Endless quarrels, confrontations, and exhaustion seemed to be the norm.
He finally knew what she cared about and what she wanted, but he no longer had. the right.
If that person wasn’t Alexei…
He clenched his fist.
“Lucas!” A surprised voice came from behind.
Lucas frowned, not smiling.
He didn’t expect to run into Olivia there.
Watching her approach, he said nothing.
“What a coincidence,” she said with a smile. “I came with Thomas. Shall we sit together?”
Lucas frowned. “Thomas is here, too?”
Olivia nodded. “He’s looking to attract some investment.”

Following Lucas’s gaze and seeing who he was looking at, a series of complex emotions like wariness, resentment, and jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself and said, “Natasha is here, too. She and Mr. Turner seem to have a good relationship.
“However, during my hospital stay, not only did she not visit me, but she also never went to visit Mom. Mom is sad.”
“Stop pretending.” Lucas said coldly.
Olivia froze.
Lucas stared into her eyes. “Look at you, is this appropriate? Your mother and the Clark family treated Natasha this way. Do you still expect her to have a loving relationship with you?”
The setbacks during this period truly made him realize how outrageously wrong he had been.
Olivia and her mother were no different from Wyatt, perhaps even more shameless.
If he were in their shoes, he would also wish they were dead.
Olivia had never imagined Lucas would speak to her like that. Even when she ruined his blind date with Esther last time, and he said he would no longer bother with her, his words weren’t so harsh.
Lucas pushed her away. “Excuse me, move aside.”
He pursed his lips, looking at the young lady in the lounge area who was commenting on the dessert chefs on the yacht..
His mother was right. He couldn’t continue to be so dejected. Even if it meant resorting to unscrupulous means and abandoning his dignity, he had to get back.
on his feet.
Esther’s incident must not happen again.

Olivia froze, watching him effortlessly join the conversation with the rich scions, not backing down even when ridiculed.
Thomas came up behind her at some point, saying, “You’re disgracing yourself.”
The model siblings, once outwardly amicable and respectful, now only exchange. harsh words.
Olivia gave him a cold sidelong glance.
Her plan would succeed within two days and one night.
However, Thomas and the Clark family were at a dead end. It was uncertain who would be crying first.
She pushed past him and strode away.
Thomas frowned, stopped, and looked at Natasha and Alexei, who were still huddled together, whispering.
A wave of frustration surged within him as he recalled his repeated failed attempts to engage people in conversation about the Clark Group’s patents.
If he hadn’t broken ties with Natasha, given her current standing with Alexei, the Turner family’s crisis could have been easily resolved. They could even have improved their position at any time.
Unfortunately, life offers no do–overs.
