When Bianca arrived at Natalie's place, she saw Natalie sitting on the couch holding Luna's clothes. Bianca approached and asked, "Have you found out Luna's whereabouts?"Natalie's face paled a bit at the sight of Bianca. "Bia!"Bianca squatted down and hugged Natalie. At that moment, she couldn't help but sigh at the unpredictability of life. Cedric should have been a thing of the past in Natalie's world, right? Then why hadn't he faded away?The truth was, anyone who had left their mark on one's life, whether physically or emotionally, couldn't be easily forgotten. Their influence could last a lifetime.Natalie spoke in anguish, "We initially confirmed Luna's presence in Verde City, but she disappeared before we could get there. Now, although we have a lead, we still don't know where she is!"Bianca closed her eyes. "Cedric is a lunatic. It's good that you can stay away from him."Cedric's crazed behavior, even to onlookers, seemed like a relentless pursuit to drive someone
Cedric reaching out to Bianca for help was like inviting trouble with open arms. But who else other than Bianca could sway Natalie's decisions?"Cedric, back when you were with Natalie, even if she had nothing, I felt like you were reaching beyond your station. Do you know why?" said Bianca, who didn't want to beat around the bush.From the moment she got to know Cedric, Bianca had discreetly investigated the Johnson family. Knowing the kind of household they were, she couldn't imagine their children turning out to be good people. And she had been right on the mark—Cedric wasn't a good person."Even though the Johnson family is wealthy, they're morally bankrupt beyond belief!" Bianca exclaimed.Despite the fact that sixty percent of Verde City's wealth rested in the hands of the Johnson family, Bianca could see through their facade. To her, wealth couldn't mask a person's lack of integrity.At Bianca's words, Cedric's demeanor grew menacing."You don't need to act all threatening
No matter how deeply Natalie and Cedric had once loved each other, or how sweet the moments they shared had been, they now stood completely at odds.When Bianca returned to her villa, she saw several Rolls-Royce Phantoms parked at her gate.Matilda approached Bianca as soon as she spotted her. "Miss.""Who's here?"Bianca handed her bag to Matilda, who respectfully took it and replied, "It's Mr. Holly."Bianca's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness.Since her return, she knew she couldn't avoid meeting with the Holly family, but hadn't expected it to happen so soon. Ever since her visit to Weiss Town, it was almost like she had selective amnesia about the Holly family.But now, Bianca suddenly remembered…The last time she had heard from the Holly family was when Eleanor was gravely ill. They had hoped Bianca would return to Simeria to bid her mother a final farewell. At that time, Bianca had naturally refused.And yet, now, less than twenty-four hours after her return to Sime
As Bianca spoke, the other people in the living room looked at Curtis sympathetically. Obviously, they didn't expect her to remain so cold, even after hearing what her father had gone through.But unlike everyone else, Curtis felt happy at this moment. To him, seeing his daughter was already a rare opportunity."With your words of appreciation, any journey is worth it!" Curtis exclaimed, his voice filled with emotion.Bianca's expression froze at his words. She hadn't expected Curtis to say something like that. Her mind felt a bit foggy, especially when she met her father’s world-weary gaze.No, it couldn't be!When she was in Simeria before, she had seen what Curtis was like. He had an aura of coldness, just like Eleanor."Mr. Holly, please leave. I have work to do," Bianca replied without directly answering Curtis' question.Obviously, she didn't want to get too involved with him. The fact that she hadn’t returned when Eleanor died indicated her attitude towards the entire Hol
"Bianca, you better pray I don't catch Nancy, or I'll skin you and Zane alive!"Malcolm was seething with rage as he stared at Bianca. No one in this world could toy with him at will. Yet now, he felt like a joke! Ever since he met Bianca, his world had spiraled out of control time and time again.Bianca raised an eyebrow, glancing at Malcolm. Clearly, she didn't understand what the man was talking about."Nancy?"Catch Nancy? What did he mean?"Quit pretending! You're still pretending, aren't you?"The already furious man was even more incensed by Bianca's demeanor."What about Nancy?" Bianca was perplexed.Nancy wasn't...? And why was Zane involved in this?Bianca had always prided herself on her clear and meticulous thinking. But now, Malcolm had thrown her into confusion in an instant.Rising to her feet, she grabbed the enraged man's collar. "Tell me, what about Nancy?"At this moment, Bianca felt like she couldn't even hear her own voice. Everything was a mess!Why we
Malcolm stormed off, clearly driven away by frustration.Bianca wasn't in a much better state either. Though Simon's involvement didn't rattle her, the thing about Nancy...!She immediately took out her phone and called Zane. Since parting ways in Weiss Town, she hadn't thought about contacting him. But today's events demanded answers.Zane picked up quickly, saying, "You calling me is quite unexpected.""Malcolm said Nancy is still alive, and it's connected to you," Bianca cut straight to the point.There was a stiffness in the man's voice as he asked, "Do you believe him?""Zane, is Nancy still alive or not?"Whether she believed Malcolm or not wasn't the issue for Bianca; what mattered was the truth. Indeed, her concerns were always focused solely on that—nothing else mattered to her."Why come to me with this?" Zane questioned."He said it's related to you.""So, did he also tell you this is a conspiracy between you and me?"A conspiracy? Bianca was now thoroughly confus
"My whole world's crumbling because she's back!" Seraphine lamented.Indeed, everything she was enduring now was caused by Bianca’s return.Crystal gazed at Seraphine, her eyes filled with sympathy.Seraphine grasped the older woman's hand firmly. "Crystal, you'll help me, won't you? Only you can."As always, with Crystal by her side, nothing could stand in Seraphine’s way. Not even Bianca, the true heiress of the Holly family.But this time, Crystal didn't offer the same soothing comfort she once did. Previously, whenever she saw Seraphine looking so scared and innocent, Crystal was willing to do anything to help her.But not anymore!Crystal forcefully withdrew her hand from Seraphine's grasp, causing the latter’s heart to sink.Seraphine looked at Crystal with disbelief. "Crystal?""That's not the same, and it's different from anything I've done for you before. Ms. Bianca is the heiress of the Holly family. If things go south, I might lose my life, and you might lose yours
The rumors in Simeria were still rampant. Everyone wondered when Malcolm would marry Seraphine. Meanwhile, Bianca seemed entirely engrossed in her work.Inside Malcolm's mind, anxiety had taken hold, yet Bianca appeared unfazed by it all."Horatio!""Yes, sir.""How dare that damned woman!"After his return, Malcolm had been lost in thought for a long time. Now, watching Bianca's dazzling performance in the workplace, all achieved by deceiving him, Malcolm could barely contain his rage."Perhaps Lord Zane is behind all this," Horatio suggested."What do you mean?" asked Malcolm."When we were in Weiss Town, Ms. Sanders' grief over Ms. Sharp's death didn't seem staged," Horatio explained quietly.As Malcolm heard this, a chill ran through him.Zane had left shortly after Nancy's death. But why? He had abandoned everything to find Bianca. Malcolm couldn't believe Zane would just give up like that.But now... "Are you suggesting that his departure was because he believed ther
