This man was now...!

Her anger was almost consuming her.

On the other hand, Cedric showed no sign of losing control due to her emotional outburst.

He was like a completely different person from before!

He handed his empty plate to the nearby butler and stepped forward, pulling Natalie forcefully into his arms.

His strong and powerful arms held her firmly, rendering her helpless!

"Bastard! Let me go!"

"You still haven't figured it out yet, huh? What we need to resolve now isn't the matter of remarriage."

"You..."

"If you don't behave now, do you want to skip work tomorrow? Or do you plan never to go to Sylvan Gems in the future?"

The man's tone was gentle, but his words carried a veiled threat.

Yes, it was a threat!

At this moment, he was threatening Natalie.

Previously...!

Because Cedric's focus was on Isabella, he didn't have time to deal with her antics. Every action she took was enough to drive him crazy.

Now, he had enough time. He also had the patience to engage

    "What's going on? Tell me everything!" In fact, Bianca could already guess what had happened.Natalie glanced at Bianca and recounted everything that happened tonight after returning to Elegance Bay and the words Cedric had said at Scarlet Villa.After listening, Bianca exclaimed, "I knew that shameless guy would do something like this!""...""What should we do now?" Bianca asked.They had considered everything before, except for the fact that a simple divorce agreement and divorce certificate wouldn't be enough to get rid of Cedric. Or rather, in his fit of anger, he had done something unexpected. Now, it seemed like he was holding Natalie accountable for everything."What can we do? I can't go anywhere now! And..." Natalie trailed off. She glanced at Bianca and continued, "I dare not tell my uncle!""Why not tell him?" Bianca was speechless. When a woman was mistreated by a deadbeat, wasn't it customary to seek help from her family?As Natalie had no parents, her u

    The man's rough fingers teased her lips. Being so close to him, Natalie could see the anger in his eyes!Unlike how cruel he was to other people, he would only, at most, be angry at her. His methods of dealing with people had always been chilling!"Tell me, where did the well-educated and reasonable Ms. Walker go?" It was fine not to bring it up, but Natalie struggled even harder when this man mentioned it. "Let go of me! Release me, you...!"Mmph!" It hurt!The man continued his attempts.His breath and scent... It was exactly the same!But his temper... After a long while, with Natalie in pain and tears streaming down her face, the man finally let her go. He haphazardly patted her after doing so."What the hell are you doing?!" Natalie was furious!"Did you turn out like this because you have your uncle's support?"She was acting like a little tiger! At this moment, looking at Natalie, there was nothing left of her previous gentle and generous demeanor."Get los

    Another way!? Without needing to think, Natalie knew it wouldn't be a good option. In the next moment, she heard Cedric say, "From today onwards, what I say goes. How does that sound to you?""Do you think that's possible?""Why wouldn't it be? Right now, you have to listen to me, don't you?" Natalie gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear this man apart.Cedric stood up. He looked at her infuriated expression, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forcefully.Natalie struggled, but the strength of his grip left her with nowhere to escape. She despised it—every touch, every kiss!Just the thought of him being intimate with other women made her want to scratch his face. Finally, he let her go. Natalie was about to raise her hand to strike him when she saw the threatening smirk on his lips. In the end, she managed to control her trembling hand.He patted her cheek, touched her jawbone, and said, "Behave, hmm?" Natalie wished she could break his hand, but she coul

    The atmosphere in Verde City was suddenly confusing, like navigating through a maze.Christina personally escorted Isabella to Sapphire. She had also arranged for two servants to care for Isabella.Isabella sat in the apartment's lobby. The journey here was bumpy, surrounded by darkness. Now, in this new environment, even the air felt unfamiliar.Christina was on a call on the balcony. "Alright, I understand!" Her tone sounded unpleasant, and her expression was even worse. Hanging up the phone, a fierce look flashed in her eyes.Natalie...! Was this matter not over yet?Just as Natalie thought, Christina also believed that once Cedric and Natalie divorced, it would be the end for them. But who would have expected Cedric to act like this?! Christina glared fiercely at Isabella, who looked lifeless inside. With a loud bang, Christina almost slammed the glass door off its hinges.Her high heels clacked against the floor as Christina walked in. Despite the anger in her moveme

    Natalie was more than just angry at this point!Her anger did nothing to affect Cedric. She was initially uneasy, but now it felt even more stifling!"Give me the original document," Natalie demanded. When Zane called, she had wanted to bring up the issue of a mole in the company. But considering the already tense atmosphere today, she decided to address it tomorrow at work.Cedric looked at Natalie with the same self-satisfaction Natalie used to display towards him."It's at Scarlet Villa."Natalie fell silent. They continued their journey to Scarlet Villa without another word between them. When they got out, Lucas took the items from the bag and handed them to Cedric in a small pouch, which Cedric then passed to Natalie."Still using your family's things after getting married? It won't look good if others hear about it.""Whatever," Natalie snapped, grabbing the bag. She didn't want to engage with him right now.In the past decade, Cedric had given her all sorts of valuab

    Natalie didn't leave Scarlet Villa immediately. Instead, she went to another room and called Stephen. Soon, the call was answered. "Nat!""Uncle, I want to come back to Simeria," Natalie tentatively said.Stephen was stunned."What's going on?""There are some things on Sylvan Gems's side that will probably take a few days to handle. I miss you and want to come back to see you!""No need. We've got some issues at headquarters recently, and I won't have time to spend with you if you come back," Stephen replied.It had been many years, and Stephen probably had never been this busy before. There was a hint of exasperation in his words to Natalie at this moment.Natalie closed her eyes. She understood the meaning behind Cedric's words. It was at this moment that Natalie realized... what did the ten years she spent with Cedric mean? She hadn't even seen through the surface of this man."Alright, I'll come back when you're less busy.""It'll be New Year in two months. Why do

    Natalie wanted to go to the guest room! However, the man gave her a threatening look, ultimately forcing her to return to their previous master bedroom. Natalie couldn't calm down when she saw how familiar everything was."Are you really not going to shower?" Seeing her standing at the door without moving, the man blew softly on her neck, making Natalie tense. She turned around and looked at him, hatred evident in her eyes.In her past life, he had burned her in this place.And in this life, he still had to force her like this!What did she owe this man in their past lives to have such grievances in this life? Just as Natalie was at a loss for words in her anger, her phone vibrated loudly, breaking the tension between them.Glancing at the number, she noted it was a call from Bianca. She answered, "Hello, Bia!""Are you back in Elegance Bay already?""Yeah." She didn't mention that she was at Scarlet Villa. She didn't want Bianca to worry. To Bianca, Cedric had nev

    Cedric looked at Natalie, whose anger had reached a certain level, and casually glanced at the phone in his cup."Come here." His tone was sharp and authoritative.Natalie sat still, showing clear resistance. The meaning of her confrontation with him was so obvious.The man roared, "Everyone else, leave!"The people present, feeling like they had been granted amnesty, hurriedly left. Only Natalie and Cedric remained. The man stood up and strode towards her.Natalie instinctively wanted to escape, but her anger kept her rooted in place. The man's domineering presence enveloped her completely. Before she could react, he lifted her from the chair like she weighed nothing."Natalie, did I indulge you too much before?" There was restrained anger in his tone. He carried her and threw her onto the sofa. Natalie tried to get up, but Cedric firmly pressed her down before she could."Who the hell gave you the guts to make a scene for another man, huh?"The pressure on her shoulde

    Bianca was still pondering how to reject Malcolm. Undoubtedly, even when she sought him out a week ago and proposed they get married, she hadn't truly wanted to marry him. As she contemplated things now, she even anticipated how crazed Malcolm might become when she presented her decision.Her phone buzzed with a call from Malcolm. In the past, Bianca would have ignored it outright, but now... she wasn't one to burn bridges."Hello?""I'll be there in ten minutes. Come down.""It's quite late."Just like before, whenever this man wanted to talk to her, especially about meeting up, she couldn't muster a pleasant expression.The man on the other end of the line simply stated, "I want to see you."Bianca’s heart clenched at those words. She was accustomed to Malcolm's cold, domineering demeanor. Even when he desired a woman, he maintained that haughty attitude. So, hearing such tender words from him was beyond her expectations."Hmph.""Come down, okay? I have a surprise for you."

    As Zane reached halfway up the hill, he noticed a familiar car parked outside. Neil, the butler, was waiting outside, and upon seeing Zane return, he approached respectfully."Lord Zane.""Who's here?" Zane frowned, glancing at the brightly lit villa.What was going on? Usually, this place was dim in the evenings, but today, everything was unexpectedly bright."Ms. Stewart has returned," Neil replied.Zane's mind went blank for a moment. He stared stiffly at the butler, his pupils rapidly constricting."Ms. Stewart arrived this afternoon."Yvette!The familiar name flashed through Zane's mind like a gust of wind. How many times had he wanted to hold onto her? But in the end, for various reasons, he had to let her go bit by bit.And now, Yvette was back!Where had she been all this time?Since leaving Simeria, it was like she was a bird that had escaped its cage and soared into the sky, never to return. Zane had asked the Stewart family about her once, but even they didn't kn

    "Maybe something happened," said Bianca.Natalie felt her eyelids twitch in response. What kind of terrifying situation was this?"When I say 'something happened,' I don't mean anything bad, but..."But what?In that moment, Bianca's gaze toward Natalie deepened, and she understood what her friend meant."You mean...?" asked Natalie.Bianca nodded silently.Natalie fell quiet as she pondered the situation.What if that was really the case?Natalie couldn't help but admit that if it truly was, it would naturally be a favorable outcome for her."Don't forget, if he can come, he can also leave. He can't change anything here, so it's better for him to return to the world he belongs to," Bianca explained.During this time, Natalie had transformed Simeria into a fortress. But even in such circumstances, Cedric had mysteriously vanished. Up until now, there hadn't been any clues. Even Kyle had been through so much, yet hadn't uttered any useful information.So, it had to be said t

    Bianca’s calmness and composure, despite her young age, spoke volumes about how her experiences and wisdom had shaped her thoughts.Curtis, initially worried about her, felt somewhat relieved seeing the tranquility and maturity in his daughter’s eyes.He nodded slowly. "Hmm."In the end, he agreed.After all, she was his daughter. Despite not being raised by him since childhood, Curtis could see it clearly. Like her mother, Bianca would stick to her decisions, impervious to outside interference.Seeing Curtis finally eating, Bianca felt a sense of relief. After lunch, she considerately accompanied her father for a stroll before allowing him to rest.When Carol emerged from Curtis' room, she saw Bianca waiting nearby and hurried over respectfully."Miss.""How is he?" Bianca inquired."Sir is still worried about you, miss," Carol replied sincerely.Having been by Curtis' side for many years, Carol naturally understood Bianca's significance in his heart.Bianca sighed.

    As she spoke, Seraphine felt the already dangerous aura around the man grow even darker, sending her heart racing. She tried to speak, but found herself speechless."Hmph, you useless thing!" Zane cursed menacingly.Cold sweat soaked Seraphine's back completely."There must be a way," she choked out, her tone tense.At that moment, Seraphine recalled what Zane had said to her before she came back to Simeria.He had told her that he never kept useless individuals around him. To gain his protection, one had to be useful. And now, Seraphine's only use—her engagement to Malcolm—had been effortlessly annulled."Heh," Zane sneered disdainfully.For Seraphine, this disdain was not only humiliating, but also starkly different from her experiences with Eleanor. In Eleanor's presence, she had never faced such disrespect. But now, it seemed like anyone could trample on her.In the past, even members of the Entes family wouldn't openly show contempt towards her, but now… Those past comfort

    Seraphine had always harbored resentment towards Bianca. But Bianca had always been a rather composed individual, rarely resorting to such actions.So, what was she doing now?"You..." Seraphine's initial fury had been turned to speechlessness by Bianca's aggression.When Seraphine glanced at Bianca, she caught a glimpse of malice in the other woman's eyes.Before Seraphine could utter a word, Bianca bluntly asked, "You know, don't you?"Seraphine stayed silent.Know what?"You knew that Lord Malcolm and Lord Zane are half brothers You also knew why Lord Zane sought you out and took your side, right?" Bianca continued.Seraphine's face drained of color in an instant. And every subtle change in her expression was noticed by Bianca, whose eyes were filled with icy mockery.Stepping forward, Bianca gripped Seraphine's delicate chin. Seraphine instinctively tried to evade, but Bianca's hold was firm."You still dare claim this is your home?" Bianca scoffed."This has always been

    When would the cycle of revenge end?While Bianca hadn't decided what to do about Eleanor's actions, Zane had already shown his claws.When would it end?If someone kept chasing after a person, what could they do?"Bia…"Curtis wanted to say something to his daughter, but was met with her unwavering gaze. Clearly, she wouldn't back down this time, just like her mother never did when faced with such situations. Both women faced things head-on, without flinching."Don't worry, okay?" Bianca reassured Curtis.There was another reason she was insisting on staying in Simeria—Bianca knew Curtis wouldn't leave with her. So, she wouldn't leave either.-Bianca and Curtis talked for a long time.Curtis still wanted to send her abroad, but her resolute attitude left him powerless. Moreover, from various pieces of information gathered earlier, it was clear that Bianca was a strong-willed child.No matter what problems she faced, she had her own opinions. So, asking her to leave was s

    When Bianca returned to the Holly family’s residence, she found Curtis staring gravely at some documents. When he started coughing violently, his face turning as pale as a sheet, Carol hurried over to check on him."Sir, let Ms. Bianca handle these documents. Please don't strain yourself," Carol said, her tone full of concern."I see now," Curtis muttered heavily, as if he had just realized something crucial.Not understanding what he meant, Carol simply urged, "Your health can't handle this strain. Don't tire yourself out. You must trust Ms. Bianca."Curtis fell silent.Trust?He had always trusted Bianca, but now he regretted bringing her back. If he had never found her, would things be different now?"Where did she go?" Curtis asked."Ms. Bianca went out, but she'll be back soon," Carol reassured him, gently taking the documents from his hands.Ever since Bianca told the older woman about Curtis' health problems, Carol had been extra vigilant, making sure he avoided anythin

    Bianca stared at the dangerous man, memories of their harmonious past flashing through her mind. Those moments had once seemed so genuine, yet now felt laughably absurd."Haha, how ridiculous!" Bianca scoffed, her laughter bitter."Bianca!" Zane's voice was sharp, cutting through her mirth."Zane, what if I reveal your true intentions to everyone? What will they think then?""Who would believe you?" Zane interrupted coldly, not letting her finish.Bianca's smile froze on her lips. He was right.Who would believe her? Curtis might, and so would Natalie. But was their trust enough?Clearly, it wasn't.But did it matter?"It's not your concern who believes me. I have never needed anyone's belief to stand strong," said Bianca.Many had doubted her before, but none had ever managed to break her spirit. The dangers she faced now might be greater, but for Bianca, they were just another set of challenges.She had overcome every hardship she encountered. This time would be no differe
