“What are you doing?” Dereck was both shocked and enraged.

Natasha sneered, cracked her whip, and said, “Can’t you tell? I’m whipping you.”

“I’m his father!” Dereck had never in his life seen a daughter–in–law dare to whip an elder.

“Alexei! Control her!” Dereck had never heard such hurtful words. He trembled with rage as he urgently and awkwardly called out Alexei’s name.

Natasha said, “Calling him is useless. You and I have no blood relation, and whipping you is what you deserve.”

Dereck was frustrated. ‘Why did he end up with Natasha?‘

Natasha grew even angrier upon hearing this, her eyes red with rage. “Anyone in this world can plead for Chloe, but you cannot!”

She felt a deep sense of injustice for Alexei. “Where were you when Alexei and his mother were being bullied and humiliated by everyone at the Turner Mansion? You couldn’t even protect your wife and child. Now you’re playing the hero, pleading for the niece of someone who bullied them. Dereck, how audacious of you! Can you even sleep well at night?”
