Twenty minutes later, Natasha was sitting at the dining table, eating pasta and swinging her legs while sneakily glancing at the guys bandaging Alexei’s wounds in the living room.

Unlike his previous clingy behavior when he followed her home, Alexei now seemed more distant and sharp in front of Shawn and Dylan.

To avoid overhearing anything she shouldn’t, Natasha put on her headphones early. Now, she could only judge from the atmosphere that their conversation was quite serious.

As expected, Alexei asked Shawn, “Did you catch the insider?”

Shawn nodded. “It’s Charles who colluded with Melvin.”

The Turner family had a large and complex internal structure.

Alexei’s grandpa, Edgar, had three sons and one daughter with his wife: Byron, Dereck, Avery, and Vivian.

Besides, he took in several illegitimate children: Gabriel, Melvin, Royce, and his youngest daughter, Lucia.

Other than that, there were countless others not recognized by the family.

The eldest son, Byron, died in an early family struggle, leaving behind a widow, Cora, and a son, Quinn.

The second son, Dereck, Alexei’s father, became paralyzed four years ago and stepped down from power. The cause of his injury remained a mystery within the family.

As for Avery, it was said he betrayed the family for a woman long ago; now he was marginalized.

Vivian married into another old family, the Westwood family, and the couple often argued over trivial matters.

The legitimate descendants didn’t seem to be doing well either.

The illegitimate ones were even worse off, of course.

Maybe because this generation fought so fiercely that no one gained ultimate power.

Instead, it was Alexei who rose above them all with lightning speed to secure his position as future head of the family.

Though being called the future head due to Edgar still being alive, Alexei had already taken control officially within the family.
