Isaac rubbed his aching temples. “Calm down.”

He looked at his sister, as spoiled as ever, and sighed deeply.

He said, “The Westwood family is no longer what it used to be, and Alexei is not the same as before. Do you think I would have let Chloe approach him if there were no other options?”

Teri pressed her lips tightly, her chest heaving.

A deep weariness showed on Isaac’s face. “After the old man retired, the Westwood family’s connections had already weakened. Recently, I’ve been besieged on all sides in official circles, and Kinsley’s business has repeatedly suffered setbacks. Whose doing do you think this is?”

He strongly objected back then when Teri insisted on marrying Dereck, who was already married with children.

Teri, the elders‘ favorite, was stubborn, especially about love. After Byron died suddenly and Avery disappeared with a woman, Dereck, also born to the original wife, became the most likely next head of the Turner family.

They eventually gave in.

Teri married into the Turner family, but it came at a great cost.

Later, she made another foolish mistake and was locked in an endless struggle with her stepson.

When Isaac found out his daughter Chloe had fallen for Alexei, he knew it was impossible. Alexei would only hate the Westwood family. He would never treat Chloe well.

Moreover, with Teri present, the Westwood family naturally stood in opposition to Alexei.

Even if it broke his daughter’s heart, he firmly opposed it.

However, the recent developments made Isaac feel a great sense of crisis.

Moreover, he sadly realized that against the current Alexei, they stood no chance.

He had long noticed that Alexei was ruthless and merciless, with strong determination and no weaknesses. Only in love did he show devotion and deep affection, like his late mother.

This offered Isaac a glimmer of hope.
