And to the people at Malcolm's side, it was evident that Bianca's actions were deliberate!At this crucial juncture for the Entes family, her current actions, being Zane's wife, undoubtedly aligned with Zane's interests.Bianca smirked at the frosty Conrad. "Tsk, is Lord Malcolm's right-hand man trying to command me now?""Lady Bianca!" Conrad's tone grew sterner.Bianca's expression instantly cooled. "So, you still remember that I'm the seventh lord's wife? Anyone unfamiliar might think you're my master from how you talked to me.""I wouldn't dare!""He's not at the hospital now?""It's risky for you to act this way. Lord Malcolm doesn't have time for your antics," Conrad responded.He noted the provocative glint in her eyes and subconsciously clenched his fists.Bianca caught Conrad's reaction, and her smirk widened. Her antics, huh?What, Malcolm couldn't handle a little play?"You're mistaken. I'm merely returning the favor. Once, I had no time for Malcolm's antics eit
"Of course you dare. What don't you dare to do? Haven't you always acted without any boundaries?" Bianca's smile deepened.Her breathing was slightly labored with how hard Malcolm was pressing down on her shoulder, but she didn't show the slightest hint of fear.She only continued to glare at him with a challenging glint in her eyes.It made one wish they could gouge out her eyes.Once, her rebellious spirit seemed fascinating. It had made Malcolm want to tame her.But now, it just irked him.Malcolm only wanted to see how Bianca would look when she finally relented.Unfortunately… this woman was too cunning!Before he could subdue her, she immediately clung to his dear brother, Zane! She had actually sided with him!She had positioned herself directly against him, a situation Malcolm had never anticipated.He never imagined that he'd lose control over Bianca.And now, he had no time to play with her!"Enough already. Just stop it, okay?" Malcolm's voice was laced with dang
Malcolm's already grim expression darkened further. His eyes flared with a crimson hue when she emphasized his name. He suddenly found his name to be so jarring when she spoke it."Do you even have the right?" he shot back."Whether I do or not, I'm currently the seventh lord's wife. Etiquette dictates I should address you as Malcolm," she retorted coolly.Her audacity was unparalleled! "Malcolm, do you think replacing something so valuable with something similar can truly compensate for the loss?""What are you implying?" Was Bianca saying she wouldn't accept it?Bianca retorted without hesitation, "When I was a partner, I got there by my own effort! I had everyone's trust, which was how I obtained my unshakable position! What you're giving me now... do you think it's the same? Can what you offer me even compare to what I had?"Indeed, it couldn't.Bianca's reputation in Verde City wasn't just that of a partner. It was of someone truly trustworthy. With her at the helm, the
After all, when one set Isabella aside, Cedric's relentless pursuit of Natalie showcased his deep intentions. Yet, every time Isabella's name came up, matters spiraled out of control. This had been a question others had posed before. Bianca had also asked this.Back then, how had Natalie responded?"It doesn't matter anymore."Indeed, it didn't matter anymore.When Clyde echoed the same question, Natalie's response remained unchanged. Why Isabella held such significance to Cedric was of no interest to her. Regardless of Isabella's importance, messing with Luna was unacceptable! Clyde observed the evident hostility that clouded Natalie whenever Cedric's name surfaced, but he refrained from voicing his thoughts."Will Julian accompany us?" he asked, changing the topic."No, he won't," Natalie affirmed."And what about Leon? He's already there," Clyde pressed."No need for him either.""You..."None of them?What was she planning? Natalie reassured Clyde, "I'll mana
At the breakfast table, Natalie carefully fed Luna. "Little moon, open wide!" Natalie's tone was playful and gentle. Luna smiled radiantly and obediently opened her mouth, revealing adorable little teeth that melted hearts. How could anyone resist such a sweet child? And how could Cedric, of all people?Thinking of Cedric, a coldness flashed in Natalie's eyes. But being beside her daughter, she quickly suppressed it, softening her gaze as she looked at Luna.The family was enjoying a pleasant moment until a servant entered, disrupting the serene atmosphere. "Sir, Madam," the servant began hesitantly."What is it?" Heather's brows furrowed at the sight of the items the servant held.Though the items were elegantly packaged in high-end gift boxes, Natalie and Heather instantly recognized them as top-tier brands they were familiar with due to Luna."Mr. Johnson had his people send these for Miss Luna..." the servant explained, noting the palpable tension in the room. "They
Even after resolving Kayla's situation, Cedric found no solace in the first few days.The tear-streaked face of his daughter haunted his thoughts incessantly."I've arranged for them to be delivered." Lucas nodded in affirmation.Unexpectedly, Cedric had transferred everything he owned in Simeria to Luna's name!It made sense. After all, Luna was his daughter. Cedric felt that it wouldn't be enough even if he gave her his entire world.Many witnessed Cedric's distressing actions towards Luna at the Simeria hospital, but few understood his desperation. Almost everyone around him could understand how important Luna was to him!At this moment in the hospital, Kayla remained unconscious. Due to the turmoil caused by Natalie that fateful night in Simeria, Kayla naturally suffered."How is she?" Cedric inquired."Don't worry, Your Excellency. Miss Kayla's condition is gradually improving." Cedric's people had transferred Kayla to their specialized hospital immediately upon retu
At this point, no one would believe it if someone told them this wasn't Natalie's revenge on Cedric.But Natalie...! No matter the hate, how could she do it in this manner? Cedric stepped into the car, and the cramped space was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.Lucas boarded the car and hesitated. He glanced towards Cedric, wanting to say something. But after opening his mouth slightly, he ultimately swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.Cedric pulled out his phone and tapped on it, dialing a number.He was losing it!The tension in the air was almost tangible.Soon, Natalie answered the call. "Hello.""Must it be this way?" Cedric asked in a strained voice.As soon as he said that, the breathing on the other end grew heavy. Even across the phone, Cedric could sense Natalie's unstable breath.At that moment, both were on edge over the phone."You know?""You already know what happened. Why did you still get involved with Irwin?" Cedric was talking about how
After a long pause, Cedric finally spoke. "The child... Her name is Luna, right?" Yet, his voice carried a profound bitterness when he posed this question.The only prolonged time he spent with the child was in that hospital.However, his primary concern had been Kayla's condition. He was preoccupied with how he could ensure a successful surgery for her.As for the child's name, or as Natalie had described, what weaning foods she liked or what formula she drank...!Weaning foods!Thinking of the term only deepened Cedric's bitterness, for he had no idea what it was. It was a specialized food for infants, but he had never seen or known about it."Yes, sir." Lucas nodded.Cedric gazed out the window with distant eyes. "Luna... such a beautiful name." His daughter was named Luna... the precious daughter given to him by Nat.However...!He took a deep breath, but it did nothing to suppress the weight in his heart.It was painful and suffocating."What about Madam?" Lucas cau
