As dawn broke, Natalie's team members, who had been working several days of overtime, let out sighs of relief when she said they were done.

They didn't bother returning home and just fell asleep where they sat.

"Are you sure it'll work?"

Karina still had some doubts. Although she didn't care too much about this particular deal, they had put in several all-nighters. Naturally, she didn't want it to go to waste.

Natalie nodded. "Yes. I'm sure it will."

"Alright."

Karina nodded in response and closed her computer before sipping her coffee. After several all-nighters, the coffee had lost its effectiveness in keeping them awake.

It felt like their minds were all in a fog.

When Natalie arrived at Apex Global, the receptionist noticed her flushed face and asked concernedly, "Are you okay?"

Natalie shook her head. "I'm fine."

In reality, she had a fever. She felt drowsy and unwell.

The receptionist glanced at the time. "It's still early. Why don't you go eat something first?"

As they approached the hospital, she began to shiver uncontrollably, even though she had bundled herself up tightly.These were typical symptoms of a fever."Are you cold?" Irwin's solemn voice floated into her ears.Natalie could barely keep her eyes open. She looked at the man and said in a stuffy voice, "Y-yeah..."She was genuinely cold, so much so that she wished she could curl up under a blanket and warm herself. Her whole body felt as though she had been plunged into icy water.A warm sensation enveloped her as Irwin covered her with his coat. With this newfound warmth, Natalie fell into a deep slumber.-At the hospital, Dylan looked nervously at Irwin.

    Elegance Bay.Before coming here, Natalie had only heard of it. She always felt that it must be a realm of luxury beyond outsiders' imagination. However, when she truly set her eyes on the grandeur of the place, she realized why it was so highly sought after in high society. People outside called it a villa. But from Natalie's perspective, it was an exquisite castle. Even just standing at its entrance made her feel like she was in a queen's dream."When did my uncle buy this place?" Natalie asked Karina.At the time, she thought only people from Verde City bought properties here. She hadn't expected her uncle, who was abroad, to have acquired one.Karina replied, "Mr. Jarvis owns countless properties worldwide, and he himself has lost count. He wanted to give you a house, so the housekeeper dug up this place."Natalie was left speechless. Stephen didn't even remember this place himself!Karina said, "The staff here was all put in place just yesterday. The preparations were a

    The way she looked when she smoked was incredibly alluring! Because of her petite stature, it didn't convey the authoritative aura often associated with smoking. Instead, it was a unique blend of elegance and charm that was distinctly hers.In his presence, she had always been poised and refined. She had never smoked or drank. But now, her demeanor while holding the cigarette and the emotions reflected in her eyes seemed to exude the solitude that came after enduring the ups and downs of life. Within that loneliness, a profound sense of disdain also lingered."Don't you think that was good?" She asked, showing no concern.It was this nonchalance that stung Cedric's heart. "You...""Who was she?" Natalie inquired with a smile that showed no care. It was her indifference that was most infuriating.Natalie continued, "You could tell at a glance that she's a proper lady. You two would make a perfect match, you know? Your mother does have good taste.""Natalie!" Cedric could

The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became!Bang! Crash!He swept the vase on the table to the ground. But even with doing this to vent his anger, he found no solace deep within.

However, Natalie didn't know that her uncle was currently grooming her to be the successor to Regal Horizons International!When he had asked for her opinion, he knew that she wouldn't readily express her wants.

    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.

    "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.

    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.
