20 vouchers Dereck snorted . " Not every woman who can't hold her own in public is fit to be Mrs. Turner . " He'd never been much of an authoritative father , but now that he'd found Alexei's weak spot , he was itching to tear down his son's taste in women . Natasha , who everyone thought would be embarrassed after her background got exposed , just blinked innocently and dropped a bomb . She said , " It's fine . I don't mind if Alexei joins my family instead . " Everyone's jaw hit the floor . ' Holy crap , did she really just say that ? ' they all thought . What was even crazier was that Alexei didn't even try to deny it . He just looked at her affectionately . " This is getting out of hand ! " Edgar kept pounding his cane on the floor . By the time dinner was over , people felt that there might be sparks flying from where his cane kept hitting the floor . Lucia Estrada couldn't help but stir things up . She'd brought her husband's niece to this dinner . She asked , " How can we let some outsider crash the Turner family dinner and mouth off like that ? " Even though she was an illegitimate child , she was Edgar's favorite , so she always acted like she owned the place whenever she spoke . Most people would think twice before crossing Alexei , but Lucia was never afraid to speak her mind . Natasha came from a small - time family , so Lucia believed that Alexei , who was cold - hearted , would never have real feelings for her . She figured he was just playing around , maybe just to piss them off . But there was no way she was going to let Natasha push her luck there . If Natasha knew what was good for her , she'd get out on her own . " Me ? Seriously ? " Natasha blinked , looking all innocent as she pointed at herself . 1/6 5:04 pm D Chapter 43 20 vouchers She shook her head , still smiling . " No worries , I'll work hard to turn my family powerful enough to make you proud . " But hey , who is the girl next to you supposed to be ? Is she Alexei's sister ? " They tried to drag her down over her background , so she just went ahead and exposed their dirty laundry . Alexei had always been fierce and untamable . Back when he was younger , the Turner family tried everything to keep him down . However , he always managed to bite back and turn the tables on them . When they realized they couldn't beat him , they switched tactics in recent years and wanted to get close to him . Getting close to him through the women by his side became their go - to move , so they kept pushing girls at him , pulling every trick they could think of . Edgar was getting old and just wanted peace in the family , so he turned a blind eye to all of it , which was as good as giving his silent approval . But even if they did all this behind closed doors , it was never something they could bring out into the open . Alexei pinched the cheek of Natasha , who was pretending to be clueless , and snorted with a laugh . He asked , " My mom only had me . Where would any siblings come from ? " Natasha leaned into his arms , grabbed his wandering hand , and said , " But didn't your aunt say there were no outsiders today ? " I just figured she was your sister ." Then she gave his chest a playful punch . " All your fault for not introducing me to everyone . " She found her own act so cringey she could barely stand it , so she put a little extra force into it to vent her annoyance . Alexei leaned back from her playful punch , his grin growing even wider . Alexei said , " I didn't bother introducing her because she's not worth your attention . " Who knows which one of them dragged back another illegitimate child ? They are just an eyesore for you . " 2/6 5:04 pm D Chapter 43 He was throwing shade at everyone in the room . EZ 20 vouchers A couple of the women whose identities were being questioned couldn't take it anymore . The girl who sat next to Lucia was fuming inside with reddened eyes , ' I've come to the Turner family with my aunt so many times . ' How could Alexei pretend he doesn't know who I am ?' Lucia clutched her chest , absolutely livid . She hated it most when people brought up the fact that she was an illegitimate child . Being called out by Alexei made her feel that she was about to explode from rage . Lucia shot back , " Blanche is my niece . How could she possibly be an outsider ? Unlike some people here , who act all flirty and shameless right in front of the elders . " " Alexei ! " Blanche immediately followed up , her eyes shimmering with unshed tears as she looked at Alexei pitifully . Suddenly , Natasha threw a cup to the floor . The sharp sound of the cup shattering echoed through the room . Everyone in the Turner family was stunned . ' Are they crazy ? Who would actually dare to smash a cup right in front of Edgar ? ' they all thought . Natasha immediately flipped the script , acting all pitiful as she buried her face in Alexei's chest and started fake - crying . She said , " I don't allow her to call you like that . I'm petty , and I get jealous ! " Alexei couldn't hold back a laugh . He stroked her hair , but his sharp gaze swept over the stunned Blanche . " Did you hear that ? Mrs. Turner says you can't call me like that . Watch your mouth . " The pressure in his voice was worlds apart from the gentleness he showed Natasha . This time , Blanche really started crying . Lucia's mouth twisted in fury , her hands trembling . " Has she lost her mind ? How dare she act up in the Turner family ! " Lucia's son , Wally Estrada , scrubbed his face , spitting out the water and yelling with his eyes 3/6 5:04 pm 20 Chapter 43 squeezed shut , " Get me a towel now ! " The water had splashed right into his eyes . He suspected that Natasha had targeted him on purpose . He was right . Natasha was indeed aiming for him . 20 vouchers She had no real grudge against Blanche . Crushing on Alexei wasn't exactly a crime or anything . But Lucia started pointing fingers at her the moment she walked in , calling her all sorts of names . On top of that , Wally had been giving her sleazy looks since the second she stepped through the door . Blanche was a guest , and Lucia was an elder . Natasha couldn't exactly go after either of them . So she could only target Wally . Alexei had already said it . She wasn't there to be anyone's punching bag today . The whole thing was just her excuse to let loose . She felt that it was too bad the water wasn't hot . It only stung his eyes a little . ' Man , if only it had actually blinded him , ' Natasha thought . Natasha was genuinely disappointed . " This is absolutely outrageous ! " Edgar roared , his cane thumping the floor so fast it was like a machine gun going off . The butler rushed over with his emergency heart pills , while the servants scrambled in a panic . Some were cleaning up the mess , while others were hurrying to pour fresh drink . The Turner family was furious , but besides scolding Natasha for being disrespectful and lacking manners , they couldn't come up with anything harsher to say . But that kind of attack didn't faze her at all . Anyone with half a brain could see she was really targeting Wally . Wally had always been a lech . His eyes practically popped out of his head the moment he saw Natasha . 4/6 5:04 pm & Chapter 43 He was not even trying to hide it . People felt that he deserved to get splashed . EL 20 vouchers The Turner family felt totally embarrassed , grumbling that Lucia couldn't keep Wally under control and handed Natasha the chance to make a scene . Lucia was pissed that Wally was hopeless and Natasha dared to hurt him . She smacked Wally's hand away from his face and shot him a deadly glare . Lucia thought , ' Does he even know who she belongs to ? How dare he stare at her like that ? ' That little vixen never behaves herself . Her eyes are like hooks , always looking for trouble , and she's got a mean streak too . ' After all that drama , everyone could see that Alexei was all in when it came to shielding Natasha , no matter what . Even with Edgar fuming like that , Alexei just brushed it off like it was nothing . " What can I say ? My Natasha's got a bit of a temper . Just cut her some slack , alright ? " Regina Titterington , who had come with Royce Turner's wife , Harley Turner , stood said , " Sorry , everyone , but I just remembered something urgent at home . up and ' I'll have to head out now . I'll come visit another time . " It was obvious today that Alexei and his family were going head - to - head , and neither side was willing to back down . If she shamelessly stuck around , she felt that she'd just end up being the butt of the joke . Her dad had connections with Royce . Since Royce was interested in setting her up Alexei , her family was all for it . That was why she'd come today . with But now that it was clear things weren't going anywhere , she had no intention of wading into this mess . She wanted to marry Alexei because it was the fastest way to shoot straight to the top . She was after power and wealth , not drama or enemies . Regina had the best family background and was easily the most impressive out of everyone there . Once she made her exit , the rest started trickling out one after another , A few were still unwilling to leave , but with the atmosphere so tense and awkward , they just snuck glances at Alexei . Seeing that nobody was going to keep them , they slunk away awkwardly . 5/6 5:05 pm D Chapter 43 The living room was finally a lot quieter .
