At this moment, she stood at the doorstep. She pressed the doorbell repeatedly, but no one came to answer.

Looking at the dark villa with no lights, she realized that Irwin probably hadn't arrived yet.

As the cold wind blew, she felt a chill running through her body. Taking out her phone, she dialed Irwin's number.

Beep!

The phone rang continuously until it automatically hung up, and still no one answered.

Natalie adjusted her coat. Suddenly, there was a weight on her shoulder. It was Leon!

A black windbreaker draped over her, and he said, "It's quite cold."

The man didn't say much, and Natalie nodded without refusing. She was indeed feeling cold; perhaps it was due to changes in her body.

During this period, she would shiver at the slightest breeze.

In her previous life, Scarlet Villa went up in flames shortly after she learned about her pregnancy. Looking back now, she had already forgotten what it felt like for a woman to be pregnant.

But now, she could feel the chan

"Who is it?""It's me." Nigel's voice came from outside.Leon glanced at Natalie, who placed the relevant materials into a drawer. "What's the matter?""There are some guests downstairs. They claim to be here regarding the eastern suburbs project."Natalie and Leon exchanged glances. Regarding the eastern suburbs project? Downstairs, Natalie saw the people in uniform and knew the situation was truly pointing in her direction.Jonathan had taken away Irwin, and now, her movements were further restricted due to the events in the eastern suburbs and with Sylvan Gems."Ms. Walker, we need to conduct a detailed investigation for the eastern suburbs project. Would you please come with us?" The leader of the group spoke politely.Though polite, Natalie understood. If she went with them tonight

    The voice was like a restrained soul. It had been unnoticeable once or twice, but now it was more prominent. It was so clear that it seemed he could hear it.He had heard it countless times.It was obvious Natalie should pay a price for her actions! She deserved it!But every time he did something to her, that voice deep within his heart would constantly interfere. It made him endlessly annoyed."Go and take a look," he finally said coldly."You mean Ms. Walker?" Lucas asked."Yes."As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from the pack and lit it. He took a couple of deep drags, and only then did it ease the oppressive and irritable feeling in his heart.Lucas made a U-turn, and the car turned onto the road leading to the police station.Just then, Cedric's phone vibrated.He pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the car's ashtray and picked up the phone. He glanced at the number, and his eyes narrowed.He massaged his throbbing forehead.Answering the call, he said, "Hel

    The medical staff and Leon frowned as they looked at Natalie.Leon stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Let's discuss everything once we're out of here."Undoubtedly, now that Irwin had left Verde City and they couldn't reach Stephen, Cedric would be wishing for her death.The only way for her to escape was through this child.That was how important the child was to Natalie's survival right now.Would Natalie not know the significance of the child?She never planned to use or involve anyone throughout her life, in this life or her previous one.It was also the same now.So, of course, she understood the child's importance!"Leon, you don't understand," Natalie said to Leon, her tone calm yet mysterious.As a mother, being unable to protect her child was the greatest punishment for a woman.How could she resort to any means to use her child?More importantly, if she left here because of the child, Cedric would surely find out.She... didn't want to create more trouble.

    Leon looked at her. From the silence in her eyes, he could sense her unspoken resilience and stubbornness.She wouldn't surrender, even if the whole world abandoned her now.She would continue to do what she needed to do.Cedric had pushed her to this point for Isabella and Christina, intending to keep her imprisoned forever.Yet, she refused to admit defeat."What do you want to do? I'll take care of it for you," Leon didn't directly answer her question, but the implication was evident.She couldn't have any contact with the outside world right now.Natalie didn't know why Leon was an exception."Just call Zane and tell him to carefully compare the previous documents," she said."Yes, ma'am.""Also, tell him to go to the relevant agency to check the signing time on my handwriting with the time below!"Despite the interrogations, Natalie remained clear-headed about what she needed to do.She would continue denying those so-called evidence.

    Cedric took a sip of water before turning his cold and piercing gaze on Lucas. "Do you know what to do?""Yes, sir."Lucas understood once he heard Cedric's tone. He turned and left, leaving Cedric alone in the study.Cedric looked blankly at the wall for a while.Stephen... was completely ignoring Natalie?His inaction seemed anything but simple."Natalie..." he murmured softly.At this moment, Cedric also realized that Natalie had changed completely since divorcing him, even in personality. But whether she confessed or not, she had to stay inside now!-Time passed swiftly, and it was soon time for Christina's birthday banquet.

    On Natalie's side, after repeated interrogation sessions, she eventually found herself taken into custody without any further inquiries.Leon naturally couldn't be by her side during this period, but he visited her every day.In the evening, Natalie was originally lying in bed. When she heard Leon was coming, she quickly got up to meet him.His face was serious when she saw him.She had been waiting the entire week for news from Zane's side. Meanwhile, the evidence here had already gone through the review process and had been accepted.Even in such a situation, she did not give up, placing her hope on Zane.However, the solemn expression on Leon's face now caused Natalie's chest to tighten."How is it? Any results?" Natalie approached and asked.Leon nodded.However, when Natalie asked about the results, the graveness in Leon's eyes deepened.Natalie's chest tightened further at Leon's reaction. Without him saying it, she could probably already guess the outcome.Leon said,

    The string of numbers was familiar to him.How could it not be?Almost all the information he had seen about Natalie during this time had this card number.However, he felt as if he were seeing it wrong. He stared at it harder, as though the numbers would change if he looked long enough.It was as if everything clicked into place suddenly, and his mind was blank.The air in the room turned suffocating.Finally, he couldn't deny it anymore—it was the same number he had been seeing all this time on this card.The funds for Isabella's kidnapping and the people who had been involved in the online harassment...It had all originated from this card.When the butler entered the room, he saw Cedric trembling and squeezing the card in his hand. Beads of cold sweat continuously appeared on his forehead."Master Cedric," the butler approached, calling out with some concern.But at this moment, Cedric seemed to have lost all awareness.

    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

"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
