Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 45

After dinner, Edgar called Alexei to his study.

Natasha sat alone on the sofa, munching on some fruit.

Given her badass entrance earlier and Alexei’s obvious favoritism, nobody wanted to mess

with her for now.

Since they couldn’t go head–to–head with her, they figured ignoring her was the next best thing. So a weird vibe of isolation settled over the living room.

The Turner family members chatted, played cards, and hung out in small groups, while Natasha was left sitting all by herself.

Natasha was perfectly happy chilling by herself, but Cora Turner clearly couldn’t stand the group cold–shoulder vibe.

She shot a playful, reproachful look at the younger folks who were deliberately leaving Natasha out, then smiled and called out to her.

“Natasha, if you’re bored, come join us for some cards! We need a fourth,” Cora said.

Natasha glanced over and saw the other two people at the table.

One was Vivian Westwood, the full–blooded sister of Dereck.

Her face was cold, showing neither welcome nor rejection toward Natasha.

Vivian had been keeping that same uninterested look ever since Natasha arrived.

The other woman was Harley, with slender, alluring eyes. She had a slight frown on her lips, looking a bit impatient, but whatever was on her mind, she kept it to herself.

Natasha couldn’t care less about what was going on in their heads. Alexei had made it clear she didn’t have to get close to anyone.

But Cora was the only one in the family who had been nice to her so far.

So Natasha gave her a polite smile and declined gently. “Thanks, Cora, but I don’t know how to play cards. I wouldn’t want to spoil your game.”

“What a show–off,” a voice came from the other end of the sofa.

It was a teenager who looked about seventeen, playing a video game.

Natasha didn’t recognize him. He wasn’t one of the people Alexei had introduced her to.

He was staring intently at the screen, his fingers flying over the controls, his face totally blank. It was hard to tell if he was the one who’d actually said it.

Natasha didn’t bother figuring out whether he was talking about her or Cora. She glanced at him, then put her headphones back on.

Cora just smiled and let it go. She called Sasha, who had just walked in from outside, to join them for cards.
