Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

By the time the Turner family rushed back to the Turner Mansion, the fire had already been extinguished.

The Turner Mansion was not severely damaged, but Dereck and Teri died.

Edgar, hit by multiple blows, suffered a heart attack relapse and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Other family members went to the hospital to look after Edgar, while Natasha accompanied Alexei to collect Dereck’s body.

The fire first started in the bedroom of Teri.

After leaving the engagement ceremony, Teri returned to the Turner family.

She could no longer return to the Westwood family. Her family members hated

her.

The Westwood family’s pillars collapsed, and their assets and residences were confiscated and mortgaged. Overnight, her family members plummeted from privileged elites to the lowest–class commoners, condemned by everyone both online and offline.

Struggling to survive, they had no desire to see the one they considered the root

cause.

The world was vast, but Teri was utterly alone, deserted by everyone close to her, with nowhere to go.

She had resolved to die.

When Dereck heard Teri wanted to see him and was invited to the room by a servant, he saw Teri wearing a wedding dress and getting ready at the dressing table.

After his surprise, he pressed his lips together, speechless,

He and Teri had a very low–key wedding.

At that time, Unity had passed away, and he had been hospitalized for half a year. Physically and psychologically, he had no desire to hold another grand wedding.

The custom–made wedding dress Teri had ordered abroad, which cost a fortune, was not completed and went unused. She carefully stored it away.

This was one of her unresolved issues.

It was also why she was so obsessed with showing off a perfect couple image in front of others, creating the illusion of a harmonious marriage.

Dereck didn’t understand what it meant for her to take it out and wear it.

He also didn’t ask her why she left the engagement party early.
