Dereck snorted. “Not every woman who can’t hold her own in public is fit to be Mrs. Turner.”

He’d never been much of an authoritative father, but now that he’d found Alexei’s weak spot, he was itching to tear down his son’s taste in women.

Natasha, who everyone thought would be embarrassed after her background got exposed, just blinked innocently and dropped a bomb.

She said, “It’s fine. I don’t mind if Alexei joins my family instead.”

Everyone’s jaw hit the floor.

‘Holy crap, did she really just say that?‘ they all thought.

What was even crazier was that Alexei didn’t even try to deny it. He just looked at her affectionately.

“This is getting out of hand!” Edgar kept pounding his cane on the floor.

By the time dinner was over, people felt that there might be sparks flying from where his cane kept hitting the floor.

Lucia Estrada couldn’t help but stir things up. She’d brought her husband’s niece to this

dinner.

She asked, “How can we let some outsider crash the Turner family dinner and mouth off like

that?”

Even though she was an illegitimate child, she was Edgar’s favorite, so she always acted like she owned the place whenever she spoke.

Most people would think twice before crossing Alexei, but Lucia was never afraid to speak her mind.

Natasha came from a small–time family, so Lucia believed that Alexei, who was cold–hearted, would never have real feelings for her.

She figured he was just playing around, maybe just to piss them off.

But there was no way she was going to let Natasha push her luck there. If Natasha knew what was good for her, she’d get out on her own.

“Me? Seriously?” Natasha blinked, looking all innocent as she pointed at herself.

She shook her head, still smiling. “No worries, I’ll work hard to turn my family powerful enough to make you proud.

“But hey, who is the girl next to you supposed to be? Is she Alexei’s sister?”

They tried to drag her down over her background, so she just went ahead and exposed their dirty laundry.

Alexei had always been fierce and untamable. Back when he was younger, the Turner family tried everything to keep him down.

However, he always managed to bite back and turn the tables on them.

When they realized they couldn’t beat him, they switched tactics in recent years and wanted to get close to him.
