Sounds of someone coming downstairs were heard from upstairs.

Minerva stood up. “Miss Clark, it was a pleasure chatting with you. I hope we can meet again.”
As the primary cause of Edgar’s sudden collapse, Avera and Minerva certainly had to accompany him to the hospital.
To show loyalty, and fearing they would not be present when Edgar made his will, everyone requested to go to the hospital to stay with him.
Even on this stormy night, every member of the Turner family hurried out.
Alexei appeared briefly, informing Natasha that due to Edgar’s sudden collapse, there was chaos at home, and also some minor disturbances outside.
Some matters required his personal attention.
He also said that if he did not return for a long time, she should not wait and should go to Peace Garden to rest..
Given the special circumstances, she naturally did not press him.
Assured that she would take good care of herself, he went to attend to his matters.
Before leaving, Alexei, still uneasy, gave her several more instructions.

He specifically had a servant bring the blanket she had used previously to drape over her.
If he hadn’t had so many things to attend to, he would have stayed longer.
The living room first held just her and Minerva. Then, everyone came down to discuss care arrangements, creating a brief period of lively activity.
Afterward, everyone rushed to the hospital, and the room fell silent once more.
The servants had already tidied up and withdrawn.
Natasha sat on the sofa, distractedly playing with her phone.
Something had happened to Edgar, but her ominous feeling had not subsided.
As she sat there, an hour passed. The excessive quietness of the room, coupled with the sound of rain, began to make her drowsy.

She startled awake from her doze to find a kind–faced middle–aged man standing nearby, hesitantly watching her, as if contemplating whether to wake her.
Seeing her awaken, he displayed a look of pleasant surprise.
He said, “Miss Clark, Mr. Turner said the Turner family isn’t a good place to rest today. He asked me to take you home.”
Natasha frowned, “Where is Alexei?”
The Turner family’s driver scratched his head. “He is probably still busy.”
All the drivers from the family went to the hospital tonight, leaving only him on standby.
He was originally relieved he wouldn’t have to drive at night in the heavy rain, but then he unexpectedly received a task.
Although he was curious why Alexei would make Natasha leave so late, as a servant, he only had to obey orders.
Seeing that he truly didn’t know, Natasha didn’t make things difficult for him. She stood up directly from the sofa and said, “Let’s go.”
She didn’t care where she slept, but she always felt that something was off.
Walking to the door with an umbrella, she subconsciously looked back.
Beneath the dark, heavy curtain of rain, the enormous Turner Mansion was like a monster, baring its fangs in the flashes of lightning.
Standing in front of the car, she suddenly asked him, “Where is our previous driver?”
The driver paused, as if recalling something, and said, “He mentioned he was taking Mr. Turner to the hospital. He should have left by now.”
Natasha’s heart pounded as she thought, ‘Something is off.
Her hand resting on the car door the driver had opened, her voice tight, “Did Alexei personally call you to send me?”
The driver shook his head. “No.”
“Then was it the butler who instructed you?”
He was a little puzzled why she was asking that, but he still answered honestly, “No, it wasn’t.
It was a servant whom I was familiar with. He said Mr. Turner asked him to tell me.”

Natasha thought, “This is impossible!‘

She had an inexplicable confidence that Alexei would never abandon her alone at the Turner Mansion without a word, just to visit Edgar in the hospital.
Besides, the roads were slippery due to the rain, especially at night.
No matter how much he disliked the Turner family, for safety’s sake, he wouldn’t possibly let her leave in the rain at night.
He had told her to return to Peace Garden to rest when she was tired, implying that she should stay at the Turner Mansion tonight.
Natasha thought, ‘Nothing feels right about this.‘
She pursed her lips tightly, took out her phone, and called Alexei.
The first call didn’t go through.
She immediately tried calling a second and third time.
After three unsuccessful attempts, she directly called Shawn. “Shawn, bring a team to the Turner family, now.”
After hanging up, she looked at the driver. “Did you drive this car to the entrance?”
The driver, inexplicably affected by her serious expression, nervously waved his hand.
He said, “No. I was going to retrieve a car from the underground garage.
“Someone had parked this car here earlier and told me to just use it to avoid blocking the main entrance.”
Under the curtain of rain, Natasha’s expression was cold. “Keep an eye on it. No one is allowed to touch this car.”
After saying this, she turned and looked at the Turner Mansion.
Without hesitation, she rushed into the rain and ran back.
*****
Including today, Natasha had only been to the Turner family twice.
The place was so vast that, unfamiliar with the layout, finding someone in it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

She didn’t know if someone had given instructions, but after she left, all the lights in the Turner Mansion went out.
In the darkness, she tried to find some servants to ask for directions.
However, perhaps someone had already prepared. After everyone from the Turner family went to the hospital, all the servants were asked to leave.
She stood in the empty room, her emotions churning.
She wasn’t entirely sure if Alexei was still at the Turner family or if something had happened to him, but she decided to trust her intuition this one time.
At worst, she would just treat it as acting impulsively for once.
She carefully considered where Alexei might be and finally decided to follow her memory to the Peace Garden to check.
The wind and rain were heavy on the road. After her umbrella almost blew inside out several times, she simply discarded it and ran in the rain.
She believed the sudden return of Avery and Minerva might be a distraction.
Exposing sensational secrets from the previous generation attracted everyone’s attention, provoking Edgar and successfully diverting everyone.
When it came to property distribution, everyone in the Turner family would be deeply affected.
But the real target of the person behind all this had been Alexei.
