At the dinner table, Natalie quietly sipped her soup.

The taste of the soup was exquisite...!

Perhaps because she had been in a bad mood that morning, Cedric had instructed the kitchen to prepare dishes she liked.

"Kayla, what's wrong?" Cedric furrowed his brows, noticing Kayla's gloomy demeanor.

After spending such a long time with the child, he had some understanding of her eating habits.

Seeing Kayla's discomfort with tonight's flavors, he urged, "Try a little!"

"Okay." Kayla nodded, subconsciously glancing at the still icy-cold Natalie.

Without looking at them, Natalie sarcastically remarked, "Watching you all act like this is quite nauseating!"

Kayla and Cedric were silent.

Instantly, Cedric's expression darkened.

Though their conversation that morning had made him somewhat sympathetic towards Natalie, her words in front of the child left him feeling uneasy.

"Some people are just good at pretending, aren't they?" Natalie's tone grew even more mocking when Cedric remaine

    As the person finished speaking, danger flashed in Natalie's eyes!"Don't think that you can achieve your goals just because I'm here at Peach Garden!" Natalie hissed through gritted teeth.On the other end of the phone, seemingly unaffected by her emotions, came a calm response, "My goals are none of your concern. Focus on securing those documents."The person's voice dripped with menace.Natalie wanted to slam the phone down. But recalling his earlier words, she asked with a chilling tone, "Did you have something to do with her fever?""Why don't you take a guess?""I don't appreciate this kind of comparison!" Natalie's voice grew heavier.A faint chuckle came from the other end."Do you not like it, or are you lacking confidence?""I may not be as cunning as you, but I won't let a child be used!" Even if she harbored resentment towards Isabella, it didn't mean she could stand by and watch Kayla or any child being ruthlessly manipulated and harmed."It had nothing to do w

    After a prolonged stare, Cedric finally said, "I don't need you to accept her!" "You don't need me to? Fine then, I-""Just don't think of her as Isabella's daughter."Natalie froze. The chill that ran through her was uncontrollable. Was he out of his mind?!With a loud bang, she slammed her glass onto the table and turned to head upstairs.From behind, Cedric's restrained voice echoed, "Just think of her as a pitiful child!" She was just a pitiful child.Yes, she really was one.Natalie did feel that Kayla was pitiful."She’s not pitiful because she has you!" Kayla was pitiful before she met Cedric. What part of her was pitiful after she came to Cedric's side?He treated her like a princess.Having said that, Natalie ascended the stairs. A loud 'bang' echoed from above shortly after, indicating she had slammed the door. It was obvious how angry she was.Even the most indifferent person would feel something when faced with the situation at hand. Cedric stood sti

    Natalie knew precisely what Clyde was referring to. After all, even if it were any other woman, they would make a comparison to themselves after what they saw at Peach Garden!And she was no exception.Casting a brief glance at Clyde, she replied, "It's not like that.""Nat," Clyde began."You don't understand the dynamics between him and me.""And now...?""I've said it before. I'm not doing this just because of you. There are matters between him and me that need a decisive conclusion."Though Natalie deliberately avoided mentioning Clyde's past, the air around the man shifted subtly. His eyes darkened, hinting at memories he'd rather forget."Don't dwell on it." A chilling touch rested on Clyde's hand, offering comfort.He looked at her earnestly. "As long as you're unwilling, no one in this world can harm you. I hope you realize that.""I trust you," Natalie assured him.Natalie understood Clyde's sentiments. Over the years, he had climbed his way up in Wexford throug

Upon hearing Irwin's voice, he emerged from the darkness and entered the dining room. Natalie looked at Yves, but he simply nodded at Irwin.Before she could react...A cold gleam flashed, and the sound of something splurting...!Clang!A dagger was thrown onto the dining table, gleaming ominously among the dishes. Meanwhile, a trickle of blood stained Yves' hand, painting a vivid pattern on the marble floor.It was a shocking sight.Natalie was stunned. She couldn't react as she stared at Irwin silently.Irwin casually raised his wine glass to take a sip, his eyes never leaving hers. But his words were directed at Yves, "Well?""I apologize," Yves murmured with

    As Irwin had said, all the injuries Cedric inflicted upon her were undeniably real. But in Natalie's eyes, Irwin's schemes were even more terrifying than Cedric's."Let go of me." She struggled to break free from his grasp, but Irwin's grip around her slender waist only tightened further.She was delicate.The more she struggled, the tighter he held her, rendering her motionless. His deep voice rumbled above her, "Did you get the file?"Natalie was silent, and her heart grew colder!All her struggles ceased at his words."How much do you really know about Cly?" she asked."No matter how much, it's just some files. Rest assured... I'll help you destroy the ones in Cedric's hands. After that, no one will threaten you again."Hah!Was he joking?No one would threaten her again?Yet, here he was, doing exactly that.Eventually, Irwin released her.When Natalie left, Irwin personally escorted her to her car.

    Cedric stared at the Natalie before him, feeling as if she had become a complete stranger. It was as if she no longer cared about anything at all.Once, she had cared for nothing but him.But what about now?"Then what matters to you? The child you have with Caleb?" Yes, Caleb's child. Witnessing her tenderness and affection for the child, no one would believe she was indifferent.Natalie looked at him, her eyes shimmering with cold light."And what matters to you?" she retorted."You...""Once it was Isabella, now it's Isabella's daughter! I'm no longer the most important person to you. Do you still harbor the illusion that you can occupy that special place in my heart as you once did in the past?"The air turned still, a chilling silence enveloping them.In the past...!Now, memories of the past felt suffocating.

    At this moment, to Cedric, Natalie's resolute stance was undoubtedly because of Kayla. Taking a deep breath, he fiercely drew on his cigarette before stating to Natalie, "I'll send her away as soon as possible."What was once a definitive statement had now become a vague promise. This indicated just how significant a place Kayla held in Cedric's heart due to his relationship with Isabella.The crux of the matter wasn't about sending Kayla away. It was evident that Cedric genuinely couldn't bear the thought of parting with the child.Natalie fell silent. For them, this was a pointless topic. As Cedric rose to leave, he issued a warning in his tone, "Don't see Irwin again."Bang!Before Natalie could even react with a word, Cedric had already left. She remained seated, placing the pig on the chaise longue with a wry smile.Don't see Irwin? He was seriously... First, Caleb, and now Irwin.That night, Natalie tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She was jolted awake by

    His sanity was constantly being challenged.After his burst of anger, Cedric laughed.It was maniacal, and it sounded... so tragically heavy. Then, it seemed like something within Cedric's world had died.He suddenly calmed down, his voice chillingly composed, "Was Clyde just an excuse? You came for Irwin, didn't you?"He used to believe that in Natalie's world, nothing mattered more than her child and the members of the Jarvis family. However, Caleb, as the father of the child, held importance, and Irwin seemed to have an irreplaceable position in her heart.Now, in Natalie's world, everyone seemed more important than Cedric. Was there anything sadder than that?Cedric had always thought the ten years of emotions between him and Natalie were insurmountable. He believed that these emotions were his strongest leverage against Natalie. But he was wrong. She had changed."After everything, would Irwin accept being the stepfather to your illegitimate daughter?" The after

    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.

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.

    "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.

    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.

    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.
