Confronting the current Alexei in the business world head–on is like fighting a losing battle. The servants at the Turner Mansion have long been replaced, and security was tight throughout, leaving no opening to exploit.

The engagement hotel became a hotbed for malicious intentions.

If Natasha and Archer were caught in the act today, given Alexei’s personality, Archer would not survive, regardless of the hidden circumstances.

Archer was chosen as the fuse to detonate the bomb not because of his hidden feelings, but simply because of his unique status.

He was an outsider to the Turner family, and Edgar felt both guilt and pity for him.

If Alexei truly went mad, and such a leader were to kill an innocent brother and anger Edgar to death, the Turner Group would surely descend into chaos. That would be the perfect opportunity for Quinn, the legitimate eldest grandson, to ascend to power.

And Avery and Minerva would side against Alexei.

After the yacht kidnapping incident, Alexei relentlessly pursued and snatched Quinn’s influence.

It was precisely because Cora and Quinn from the main branch knew their time was running out that they resorted to desperate measures.
