Natasha left the party early. Since she knew Claire would not arrive until the evening, she went back to the villa to rest.

Although others were reluctant, they wouldn’t be so tactless as to insist she stay.

It would be unfortunate if their efforts to win her favor ended up irritating her instead.

The villa was in a quiet location. The floor–to–ceiling windows offered views of mountains and a sea of clouds. Inside, the decor was warm and comfortable, with many furnishings similar to her own home. There was even a dedicated art studio and a dance practice room.

Thinking of the grapefruit juice, she smiled, picked up her phone, snapped a picture of the scenery outside, and sent it to Alexei.

Unfortunately, Alexei didn’t answer the call, likely resting or in a meeting.

Natasha spent some time alone in the villa, waited for a message, and eventually drifted off to sleep.

She woke up again in the evening.

Alexei still hadn’t called back, but Kiara sent her a message. She informed Natasha that Claire had arrived, then mentioned that a barbecue had started outside and to come eat when she

woke up.

The hotel featured a dedicated outdoor barbecue area where staff served drinks and grilled skewers, while a live band played and guests enjoyed a lively, fun atmosphere.

When Natasha arrived, she saw the back of someone who was cornered.

‘Claire? Haven’t seen you in so many years, you’ve become so beautiful. We even thought you were dead.”

The man, whose hair was over–moussed, smiled. “You look like you’re doing pretty well. Where are you working these days? Want to come eat with us?”

After saying that, he reached out to grab her arm.

Before he could touch Claire, a female voice suddenly rang out. “Her well–being is not your concern. Don’t spoil everyone’s appetite while we’re eating.”

‘Who was that? So disrespectful! The man was about to get angry, but then he turned around and saw it was Natasha.

Back then, despite her poor reputation, she was truly beautiful. Many boys claimed they weren’t interested in her, but they couldn’t help glancing her way.
