Emmanuel couldn’t help but wonder if tonight’s events were orchestrated by Alexei.
But the most crucial part was that Lucas abandoned Natasha to save Olivia. No one could force him to do that.
Lucas could only blame himself for being so foolish.
Emmanuel looked at Lucas with a cold, calculating gaze. “Let me make this clear. The one who saved you from the sea was Roderick, not Olivia. You owe her nothing.
“We’ve already compensated the Watson family more than enough. If you keep acting like this, forget about ever taking over as head of the Wright family.”
Thinking of the Watson family Lucas had let go, Emmanuel’s
eyes darkened.
He couldn’t believe the Watson family was innocent in today’s events.
They took a huge sum of money back then, and still weren’t satisfied. They kept stirring up drama with Olivia over and over.
Emmanuel felt that he could no longer tolerate the Watson family’s existence in Andphis City.
Honestly, if Alexei hadn’t gotten involved, Emmanuel wouldn’t even be thinking about going after the Watson family.
This was purely a case of misplaced anger.
Lucas was his son, the Clark family was tied to them way too deeply, and Alexei was someone he couldn’t mess with at all.
So, he could only take it out on the easy target.
The Watson family thought they were being smart. They were hired to play a part in Olivia’s scheme, then got paid extra by another side to switch things up.
They pulled off the plan, pocketed double the cash, and were busy celebrating. They were cucicas that disaster was about to hit them.
They didn’t realize they’d been walking straight into a trap custom–made for them from the very beginning
Margot glanced at the furious Emmanuel, then at Lucas, who had lost all his spirit. She also started to feel dissatisfied with Olivia.

Before, she thought Olivia was great in every way. Even if she was a bit scheming, she always knew how to handle things and keep everything under control.
But now, Olivia’s scheming had started to drag the Wright family into trouble, and the engagement party was already tainted.
Margot just couldn’t stand Olivia anymore, thinking she was way too cunning and always plotting something.
Too bad the wedding was already set.
Margot and Olivia, who should’ve gotten along just fine, now had a rift between them.
Margot had another worry gnawing at her. “Mr. Turner seems to care a lot about Natasha, but after tonight, Natasha and Olivia are completely at odds now.
“If Olivia ends up joining our family, will Mr. Turner go after her and cause trouble for the Wright family?”
“Olivia won’t be joining this family!” Lucas cut in sharply, his gentle features now cold and
menacing.
But Emmanuel was clearly more concerned about the latter part of Margot’s hypothetical.
He also looked over at Lucas.
As Natasha’s boyfriend, he should be the one who knows best what was really going on between Natasha and Alexei.
Lucas took a deep breath, clenching his fists. “Natasha and I have been through so much together over the years. There’s no way she’d just drop everything that fast.
“I know her. When it comes to feelings, she’s all about keeping it real. If she doesn’t like someone, she won’t even bother getting close to them.
“Natasha was probably collaborating with Alexei tonight for some reason.
“Alexei was sticking up for her, so she could shake off the Clark family’s grip.
“After this, they’re definitely going their own ways.”
What Lucas kept to himself was that Alexei was ruthless, sly, and ice–cold. He felt that Alexei was not the kind of guy Natasha would ever go for
Emmanuel and Margot both let out a breath of relief.

They felt that there wouldn’t be any romantic involvement between Natasha and Alexei.
The way things went down tonight, though, was enough to put anyone on edge.
With their biggest worry finally put to rest, the Wright family could now focus solely on restoring Lucas’s reputation.
*****
While the Wright family was still busy going over everything that had happened, the Clark family was clouded by silence.
The whole thing had been such a shock that Andrew and Madeline were completely worn out and just went straight to bed.
That left only the three siblings in the living room.
Olivia looked pale.
She knew her reputation had probably been completely turned upside down by now.
Unlike the Clark family, who felt guilty and protective toward her, outsiders with no personal stake could see things for what they really were.
She’d always had it way better than Natasha.
Even if people used to doubt Natasha’s reputation, now that Alexei was on her side, they’d automatically start seeing her in a better light.
Public opinion would always be controlled by those in power.
Back when the Clark family seemed so loving and united, and Natasha was just the unloved, neglected daughter, everyone was happy to praise Olivia to the skies.
But now that Natasha had someone even more powerful behind her, suddenly everyone acted like they could see the truth all along.
Olivia drought, ‘Alexei..!
Just thinking about him made the wounds on her palm start to itch all over again.
She thought, How come Natasha, who has already lost everything, can suddenly get so lucky and make a comeback?
Olivia had spent years scheming and plotting just to snatch Lucas away

Now that she finally had him, it was nothing like the satisfaction she’d imagined.

The outcome she got was that Natasha treated Lucas like he was nothing but garbage.
Natasha’s carefree way of letting go just made Olivia look even more pathetic by comparison.
Olivia thought, But after all these years, could Natasha really just not care at all? Or am I the only one still stuck in the past?
‘Or is it because Natasha has someone even better now?
‘Is it Alexei?‘
Olivia coughed hard, feeling as if the jealousy and panic inside her were about to take on a life of their own, clawing their way out and baring their fangs to the world.
Olivia thought, ‘I will never let Natasha alter my plan, not after everything that’s happened.’
Normally, if she wasn’t feeling well, Thomas and Noel would have immediately noticed and Fussed over her.
At the same time, they would condemn Natasha for causing it.
But today, the two of them were clearly distracted.
Noel had already caught the replay of tonight’s dinner party in the spoiled kids‘ group chat he hung out in.
Even though he knew it was understandable, he still felt really uncomfortable about it.
The way Lucas and Olivia acted together was just way too intimate.
At that time, Lucas was still supposed to be Natasha’s fiancé, and Olivia was just his sister.
He looked at Olivia, his expression complicated. “Olivia, did you guys do that in front of Natasha a lot?”
Before, all he knew was that Natasha would always get insanely jealous.
He just thought she was being petty. He’d never actually seen how the two of them acted together around her.
But now that he had, he felt like Natasha had every right to be upset
Olivia looked up at him in disbelief, looking completely shattered. “Noel are you blaming
me?”

She lowered her eyes, a bitter, self–mocking smile on her lips. “Yeah, I guess you’re right. If my condition hadn’t acted up, Natasha and Lucas would be the ones getting engaged tonight.
“But I honestly had no idea my memory was all messed up, or that I had delusions, or that I kept mixing up Roderick and Lucas.
“I really don’t remember any of it. I never wanted this to happen…”
She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. “I’m willing to go through the risky brain surgery the doctors recommended.
