All the guests in the venue subtly turned their gaze towards them, and the scene was eerily quiet.

Natasha suddenly laughed in this suffocating atmosphere. She bent down and pulled Teri up, and chided lightly, “Mrs. Turner, what are you saying? Inciting others to suicide is also a crime.”

Teri was unwilling to stand up, stubbornly waiting for an answer, but Natasha’s grip was firm and unyielding.

Cora followed closely behind, pulling back Teri, who was still trying to move forward, and whispered, “Enough, stop making a scene.”

Then she looked at the maid beside her and said, “Teri is not feeling well. Take her to rest.”

Teri wanted to struggle, but Natasha walked over and quietly asked in her ear, “Teri, can you bring the Turner family back to life?”

Teri froze.

The dead could not be brought back to life, and the past could not be undone.

She couldn’t do it.

She looked at Alexei and Natasha, who were once again standing hand in hand. Their gaze towards her was just as she had once looked down on Unity.

A life was worthless, and it couldn’t move her conscience.

So, without any burden, she made Unity give way for her love,

Now, she deserved it.

Natasha’s attitude was Alexei’s. Teri understood. The last flicker of light in her eyes died out.

Tears welled up. With a self–mocking expression, she shook off the maid’s hand that was holding her. “I’ll walk by myself,” she said.

Her family suddenly turned against her, their gazes filled with resentment and accusation; her husband’s cold and distant attitude, unchanging for years; a home she couldn’t return to, a lover she could never reach. Her life was like a joke.

How boring.

Teri stumbled out of the gate and into the darkness.

Natasha looked back. In the shadows, a branch scratched Teri’s dress, and the strong wind tousled her hair, but she remained oblivious, simply walking forward in silence.

Teri, who had lived a life of pride, finally tasted the bitter agony of a shattered spine and a ruined family in the latter half of her life.

“Alexei is very lucky.” The woman of the hour, Arianna, walked over to Quinn, who was observing the commotion at the entrance.

Teri had gone after Alexei, but before he could speak, Natasha had lightly yet firmly blocked her; her protective stance was enviable.

Alexei grew up in such a family, but he met someone who loved him

wholeheartedly, disregarded personal gain, and happened to be the one he loved. It was truly moving.

Quinn watched Alexei, who had shed his usual aloofness, now smiling and stroking Natasha’s head, as if muttering to himself, “Alexei has indeed always been lucky.”

“Me too,” Arianna said, linking her arm through his.

Quinn paused, then smiled and raised a hand to touch her hair.

On the other side, Alexei had already led Natasha to Edgar.

“Edgar, long time no see,” she said.

Edgar chuckled and forced pleasantries. “It’s good, glad you came. Go sit and rest.

You don’t need to help today.”

Natasha opened her wide eyes, her long lashes fluttering. “Really? But I really want to help. How about I go help Cora oversee the schedule?”

Edgar couldn’t maintain his smile. “No need. Those girls were just looking for you.”

He looked at Alexei, hinting, “It’s boring here. Why don’t you take Natasha to play

with them?”

Alexei gazed dotingly at Natasha, who was teasing Edgar, and hooked her pinky finger.

Natasha looked disappointed. “Alright, alright. You don’t like chatting with me anyway. I’ll just go play with my Leonie instead.”

After speaking, she seemed to console herself, “Anyway, young people are much cuter than some biased old men.”

Edgar was speechless.

On such occasions, Alexei was invariably caught up in social pleasantries. Natasha found the flattery from those people boring, so she left him and went off to play.

However, after finding Leonie, she discovered another acquaintance was present.

Several lively younger relatives surrounded the person in the middle, curiously asking how Arnatar’s insects differed from those domestically, which species was more ferocious, and some even brought their unusual pets to ask about.

“Long time no see.” A smile graced Archer’s handsome face.

Natasha looked at him in surprise. “Has your research in Arnatar concluded?”

Archer shook his head. “It’s just a temporary break. I’m escorting my mother back for recuperation.”

Minerva’s heart transplant surgery was successful, but her health was not as good as before. She said she wanted to return to her homeland, so Avery brought her

back as she requested.

It coincided with Quinn’s engagement. Since their family had already made a formal appearance before, Edgar called them all back this time.

In his twilight years, rather than fostering cutthroat competition, he seemed to prefer seeing his descendants happy.

Natasha raised an eyebrow. “Where are Minerva and Avery?”

Archer smiled. “It’s too noisy here. My dad took my mom to the lounge to rest.”

“Oh.” Natasha was speechless for a moment. She wasn’t very familiar with him.

Instead, Leonie and a few other young boys and girls chattered excitedly about the interesting stories Archer had just told about observing insects in the rainforest. Natasha listened in, occasionally joining their chat.

Archer sat nearby, a faint smile in his beautiful eyes.

Thinking of the scene that had just unfolded at the entrance and the news he had occasionally heard from within the country, he realized he might have been mistaken before.

Natasha was indeed a free butterfly, but when provoked, she could turn into a lioness with sharp claws.

The Turner family could not hold her back, and Alexei could not let her be trapped.

He had taken really good care of her.

She was bright and free–spirited, loved to laugh and be playful, a complete contrast to the disheartened and gloomy girl trapped in that heavy rain seven

years ago.

A waiter nearby stumbled, spilling drinks towards Natasha, who was seated on the sofa.
