Three years later , Dereck finally relented and agreed to a divorce after seeing Unity , who had completely lost her mind , and Alexei , who was scarred and resentful . He'd gotten rid of the servants who'd been taking care of Unity and Alexei . That day , all of them got into the car together. Alexei had clung to Unity . Teri had come along just to witness Unity's moment of defeat . After waiting for years , Teri was finally able to be with the man she'd been in love with for so long . She was absolutely thrilled . She couldn't help but feel smug , mocking Unity for all her scheming to marry into the Turner family , only to end up unable to protect herself . Unity couldn't even give her parents a good ending . Maybe even the heavens couldn't bear letting a villain like Teri have a happy ending . As they got onto the highway , Unity , her mind pushed past its breaking point , suddenly let out a shrill scream . She climbed over the back seat and lunged for the steering wheel . The car crashed into the guardrail and plunged down . In that accident , Unity finally found her release . She fought desperately to shield Alexei right up to her last breath , and thanks to her , Alexei only suffered minor injuries . Dereck , on the other hand , ended up with severe internal damage and was hospitalized for almost a year . As for Teri , she lost the baby she'd been carrying for three months . With it , she lost any hope of ever being a mother . The doctors had to remove her uterus . The tangled grudge between the three of them finally came to a tragic and bloody end . After getting out of the hospital , Dereck still ended up marrying Teri . As Dereck's only son , Alexei should've finally gotten better treatment . But every time Teri saw him , all she could think about was the baby she'd lost . She got even more obsessed and cruel , coming up with every twisted way she could think of 1/6 5:05 pm £ Chapter 46 to take out her anger on Alexei . 20 vouchers She'd lock him up in a pitch - black room , leave him hungry , jab him with needles , even shove him under water . Dereck couldn't stop Teri every time . He knew she was full of resentment , and as long as she didn't go too far , he just let her have her way . To be honest , sometimes when Alexei looked at him , Dereck felt a chill running down his spine . That fierce , wolf - cub glare was even scarier than anything he'd ever seen from an adult . His tacit approval only fueled Teri's cruelty . The worst time , she even went so far as to plan to dump Alexei deep in the mountains and let the wolves have him . That was the first time Alexei ever came to Edgar's notice . It took a whole month for the Turner family to finally track Alexei down . By the time they found him , they thought they'd be bringing back a corpse . He was only ten years old . No one ever thought a kid that age could last that long out in the wild . In a moment of anger , Dereck actually struck Teri . The two of them got into such a fierce fight at home that it finally caused enough of a commotion to alarm Edgar . Edgar had only gone to the mountains planning to deal with the aftermath , but what he found was beyond anything he'd imagined . He saw Alexei covered in wounds , his clothes stiff with dried blood and sweat , clutching a wolf pup and desperately sucking its blood to survive . Alexei had a look that he would fight tooth and nail just to stay alive . It left a mark on Edgar he'd never forget , He couldn't help but laugh out loud . " Now that's the kind of grit and ferocity that proves a true Turner . " he's When they got back , Edgar disciplined the irresponsible Dereck and Teri . Against everyone's objections , he insisted on bringing Alexei with him to personally raise and mentor him . It was then that Edgar realized just how exceptionally talented Alexei was . He was brilliantly intelligent . 2/6 5:05 pm D Chapter 46 1320 vouchers Alexei didn't let him down . Once he was in a new environment , he soaked up everything like a sponge , desperate to grow stronger . Even Edgar was shocked by how fast he grew . By the time Alexei reached adulthood , he was already establishing his own influence and building a power base of his own . As expected , Alexei became the most outstanding heir of his generation . He was even outshining all those who came before him . But on the day Edgar decided to personally raise and mentor Alexei , he never imagined that Alexei would one day bite back at him . ' The entire Turner family is his . What more could he possibly want ? ' Edgar thought . Now , Edgar finally understood . For Alexei , the Turner family was nowhere near enough . Edgar had always figured Alexei would hold a grudge over what happened to his mother , but Edgar felt that every family had its dirty secrets . All these years , Alexei had just been cold and distant . Aside from breaking Dereck's legs four years ago , he hadn't really made any big moves . Edgar had convinced himself that Alexei had gotten over it , that the whole mess was water under the bridge . But when Melvin ended up being a vegetable , and his son was completely ruined , Edgar realized that Alexei's revenge was only just getting started . Alexei wanted to make sure there was no peace left in the Turner family . He wanted every last one of them to live in misery and pain . Natasha's appearance only deepened Edgar's suspicions . The elders of the Turner family wanted to use marriage to leash Alexei , who had slipped out of their control . However , Alexei decided to use marriage as his weapon against them . Natasha was a perfect blade . She charged forward without hesitation , bold and utterly fearless . Maybe Natasha couldn't do much damage right away , but that didn't matter to Alexei . As long as she could mess with them , keep them uneasy , and make them squirm , that was 3/6 5:06 pm Chapter 46 more than enough . 20 vouchers Just like how they all once tormented Unity , grinding her down with years of cruelty and humiliation , Alexei was going to return the favor . He wanted to push them to death slowly and relentlessly . He wanted to make every last one of them live in constant dread , always on edge , never knowing when the sword hanging over their heads would finally drop . Edgar sat slumped in his chair , looking completely spent and defeated . He'd never cared if his kids fought , schemed , or did whatever it took to get ahead . There could only be one head of the Turner family , and that had to be the one who could truly take the family to the top . Even if there were some losses or sacrifices along the way , it never bothered him . When Alexei appeared , Edgar had been absolutely ecstatic . But Alexei was like a razor - sharp blade . He was invincible in battle, yet every time he struck , the brilliance of his edge ended up wounding his family . Edgar had always wanted the Turner family to be powerful , but as the years went by , he found himself yearning for something more . He started yearning for warmth , for family , for his children and grandchildren to be happy together . But it was obvious now that Alexei was after the complete opposite of what Edgar had hoped for . Edgar said , " Do you really have to take things this far ? Don't forget , I still haven't handed over all my shares to you . " I could always raise another heir if I wanted . " Alexei just gave a mocking smile , " Grandpa , do you think those shares of yours can still threaten me ? " All these years , the Turner Group has been completely under Alexei's control . The most critical production lines and research teams across multiple industries were all in his hands . 4/6 5:06 pm SD Chapter 46 That was not even counting the powerful network he had built overseas . The Turner family was only strong since Alexei was a part of it . The Turner family might be glorious , but it was not invincible . : ། 20 vouchers In other words , Edgar could either hand it all over to him or watch it burn to the ground . Alexei had him by the throat . At this point , Edgar had to admit that Alexei's strategies were leagues ahead of his own . He was getting old , and up against someone as razor - sharp as Alexei , he was completely outmatched . But Edgar wasn't ready to give up just yet . He tried to persuade him , " There's too much darkness in you , Alexei . " If you keep burning every bridge and leave no room for mercy , you'll end up with no one by your side . One day , regret will be all you have left . " You want to marry that girl , don't you ? Have you ever thought about whether she could really accept someone like you ? " You have turned your back on everyone , and your hands are already stained with blood . " " That's none of your concern , Grandpa , " Alexei said . He stood up and left without a pause , leaving Edgar with nothing but the sight of his cold , indifferent back . ***** " Of course I'm on Alexei's side ! " Alexei had just started down the stairs when he heard Natasha's crisp , ringing voice . Her tone was so firm and decisive that it made everyone in the living room turn to look at her . Alexei stopped in his tracks , his gaze growing deep and unreadable as he looked toward the sofa . Natasha sat over day , her rosy face radiant , speaking animatedly and full of confidence . The twins , still unwilling to give up , pressed her , " But what if he's wrong ? Wouldn't you try to talk him out of it ? " 5/6 5:06 pm 3D Chapter 46 Natasha shot them a look that basically said , " How can you not get this ? " 20 vouchers She said , " What does it matter if he's right or wrong ? As long as he's Alexei , I'm always going to take his side , no matter what ! " She was shamelessly , irrationally protective . When the twins heard her hopelessly lovestruck answer , they both pulled a face that showed that they were at a total loss for words . When they first tried to chat her up and pretended they wanted to be her friends , Natasha just told them that she'd have to check with Alexei before agreeing . They asked her if Alexei was so controlling that he even decided who she could be friends with . Natasha answered proudly , " Because I'm a simp for him ! " That answer left them completely speechless , not even knowing how to respond . 5:06 pm D Chapter 47
