Due to Cedric's significant conflict with Malcolm, going up with Natalie at this time would only put her in a worse situation."Has everything been arranged?" Cedric asked as his expression darkened.Lucas nodded. "Rest assured, Madam won't encounter any problems."It would be good if that were the case!With that, the stiffness on Cedric's face eased slightly.-In the top-floor office, Natalie sat on the sofa while a man exuding an air of nobility and coldness paced around her office, his cigar releasing tendrils of smoke.Suddenly, the cigar flew towards Natalie. Without waiting for her reaction, the burning cigar grazed her cheek and flew straight into the ashtray on her desk behind her.It was a precise and agile shot!Natalie was silent.Her cheek stung a bit!Her gaze towards Malcolm became sharp as she said, "You have excellent skills, Lord Malcolm!"Malcolm approached her and leaned down. His warm breath grazed her face as he said, "I have plenty of other excellent
The inheritance of the entire Entes family? It was that important?!Natalie knew that the members of the Entes family were all extraordinary individuals. However, the true heir to the Entes family had not been determined yet. It was easy to imagine the current situation within such a large family.Each person's actions represented their ability to lead everything.What truly angered Malcolm was not the project Natalie had halted but the fact that he, a man, was thwarted by a woman. That was something he couldn't tolerate.Natalie figured this out, and it gave her a headache. What bothered her even more was Bianca's situation! After making such a significant move, she received only this piece of information, which didn't affect Malcolm in the slightest."I'll arrange for you to leave immediately," Cedric said with a cold face."I..." Before Natalie could say anything, her phone rang. She took it out, and it was Irwin calling."Irv." The moment she answered the phone
Natalie was on her way back to Hillside Villa. When her car reached a secluded area, other cars suddenly surrounded her!A man in black, with eagle-like eyes and a sharp expression, emerged from one of the vehicles.Cedric's face turned cold. Someone pulled open Natalie's car door!"Ms. Walker, our lord has invited you for a drink," the man said arrogantly.Natalie's expression darkened. An invitation? "What if I refuse?""Don't worry. We'll ensure your safety. That is... if your uncle cooperates," he added with a threatening undertone.Natalie's face turned red with anger!Now she understood why Stephen insisted she leave Simeria immediately. According to the rumors about Malcolm, he undoubtedly intended to make Stephen pay a heavy price."Leon.""Yes, Miss.""Are you confident?" As soon as Natalie finished speaking, her vision spun, and she heard a loud bang.Before she could react, she heard Cedric roar, "Go!"Then, she slammed into the backseat with tremendous f
Bianca's complexion was already unpleasant, and it worsened upon hearing Malcolm's words.He seemed to see through everything!"Say, do you think letting her see the true faces of those around her will lead to despair?"Despair? So, he intended to drag Natalie into the abyss of despair?!Bianca's originally calm eyes sharpened upon hearing Malcolm's words."Wouldn't it be a good thing for her if I let her see everything ahead of time?" Ahead of time?! Meaning he had decided to take action?!Bianca clenched her fists, and her whole body trembled even more violently."She doesn't need your so-called kind intentions!" Bianca exclaimed.The next moment, the man's face darkened.Seeing the dangerous glint in the man's eyes caused Bianca's heart to tighten even more.She didn't know the current situation around Natalie, but it would undoubtedly be better than Malcolm getting involved.Natalie had always been a clever person. Given time, she would surely figure things out. Or
At the airport, Yves, Natalie, and Leon left through a special channel. However, just as they reached the exit, Lucas appeared.He stared at Natalie intensely and called out, "Madam!"The form of address made Natalie's heart skip a beat. She moved her lips as if to object, but ultimately, she didn't correct Lucas's address as she usually did.Instead, she asked, "Lucas, what are you doing?"Lucas replied, "I'm not stopping you from leaving, but Mr. Johnson said..." He deliberately ignored Yves and continued, "You can't leave with Mr. Frazier's men."As he finished speaking, the atmosphere around Yves instantly felt more dangerous.Natalie frowned and looked at Yves. Her mind kept weaving through thoughts of Irwin, Cedric, and Stephen.Whom did she trust the most?Stephen, of course!And who was the person Stephen trusted the most? Irwin... or Cedric?The two names kept changing in her mind!Stephen had asked Cedric to stay by her side... What had happened between Stephen a
Men were like beasts in the dark night, and their every step felt like an attack on one's heart. The inherent oppression grew stronger as they approached their prey, causing their prey to shrink further into themselves.Just as Malcolm was about to approach Natalie, Leon grabbed Natalie's wrist."Ms. Walker!"Evidently, he intended to shield Natalie behind him. However, Natalie displayed an unprecedented level of firmness, standing her ground without flinching.She knew that if Leon stood in front of him at this moment...!Malcolm was a man who did not tolerate any obstacles in his path.He reached out his fair and slender finger to gently lift her chin and lightly stroked it. His crisp breath was pleasant, yet carried a deadly danger."It seems you understand me quite well, hmm?"He chuckled as he spoke, but it sounded bitterly ironic to Natalie's ears.Malcolm was mistaken.She wasn't the only one who understood him so well. Everyone in Simeria understood him very well!Na
While it was true that these three forces usually didn't clash openly, it was also fortunate that they maintained a surface-level harmony. After all, if these major forces were to break ties, it wouldn't just be a matter between them—it could involve the entire Simeria.But now, Malcolm had undoubtedly shattered this balance by taking Natalie!He was the royalty of Simeria, and the responsibility to maintain harmony weighed even heavier!So now..."Aren't you afraid of becoming a sinner?" Bianca said as she looked at him with cold eyes.Malcolm's gaze turned cold as well. He couldn't help but admit that this woman was incredibly tough. Even at this stage, she dared to challenge and push him to his limits."Do you think I care about these things?""Yes, you don't care!" Bianca smiled sarcastically. "What you care about is a woman like Faye."As soon as she finished speaking, the pressure on her chin intensified. At this moment, the man seemed to want to crush her.A dangero
On the solitary island, Natalie spent most of the half-month standing on the balcony of the third-floor room, gazing at the vast sea outside.She could go out. But each time she ventured beyond, she found the sea surrounded the entire island. Escaping seemed nearly impossible. After Malcolm's people brought her here, they cut off all her contact with the outside world. She had no idea what was happening in Simeria.During this half-month, besides thinking about Bianca, Natalie's mind was preoccupied with Irwin—yes, Irwin. Until now, the dangerous glint in Yves' eyes from that day often flashed in her mind.The sound of helicopter propellers buzzing interrupted her thoughts. Natalie looked up, and her eyes gleamed with a deep fascination. The helicopter landed not far away on the beach.Men in black suits disembarked in an orderly manner, forming a disciplined formation. The last two men to descend exuded an imposing aura. One wore sunglasses covering most of his face, and eve
