Luna was undeniably well-behaved. Heather had undoubtedly invested much effort in her upbringing, and everyone in the household was fond of the child. Her sweet demeanor was particularly charming.After breakfast, Clyde and Natalie went to the study. Both were obviously tensed."What's your plan moving forward?" Clyde finally voiced the question that lingered between them.Indeed, what plans did Natalie have? After witnessing so much, her perceptions and understanding of everything had drastically shifted. It wasn't merely a change. Her entire worldview had been overturned.Taking a deep breath, Natalie replied firmly, "I have my own arrangements.""Nat," Clyde began."I want to handle this matter personally," Natalie cut in with a heavy tone.Yes. She wanted to confront things head-on, whether it was concerning Irwin or Cedric.A shadow of concern crossed Clyde's eyes. Natalie was too calm, and her demeanor only heightened the sense of impending danger!Natalie met
Frederick!He was the pivotal figure now. No one could fathom the chilling aura in Natalie's eyes whenever Frederick was mentioned. It was a coldness so palpable it felt as if it could shatter everything into a million pieces. Clyde nodded. "I got it."Frederick!During her time in Wexford, Natalie sensed something was off. If Frederick were in Irwin's grasp, he wouldn't remain idle against Cedric. That was the kind of person Irwin was in her mind.But Irwin had done nothing during her time in Wexford, implying Frederick wasn't under his control.Frederick...!Natalie wanted to see how things would turn out at this crucial juncture.-Chaos reigned, and Wexford was in utter turmoil. Even though Natalie was at Lotus Villa, she was far from idle. The Entes family, especially, was now on high alert upon learning Cedric had half of the critical documents. It wasn't only Malcolm and Zane. Even the other Entes family members, like Alto, were keeping a close watch on Cedri
At this juncture, Cedric was well aware that once Natalie located Frederick, she would have no intentions of siding with him or Irwin. Her hatred had reached its peak for both of them."Leave!" Cedric ordered, irritation evident in his eyes, clearly reluctant to face the looming issue.Upon learning about Blair, Natalie's emotions had spiraled out of control. She was indifferent to whatever transpired between him and Irwin. She had lost all trust in everything concerning them.With Lucas gone and the study now empty save for Cedric, he lit one cigarette after another. Smoking half a pack did nothing to ease his growing agitation."Natalie..." He murmured her name, feeling a profound sense of hurt.What was he to do with her? The void left by her absence grew ever more pronounced in his heart!However, she had made her stance abundantly clear.She had mentioned that regardless of what transpired in their past lives, even if Isabella paid the ultimate price, it was what she
Yes, that was what Malcolm said at that time.As for what the marriage meant to Bianca, she knew exactly what it entailed."Bianca!" There was a dangerous glint in Malcolm's eyes."It wouldn't be hard for me to save her!" Bianca said."What do you want?"As Bianca spoke, the man's eyes betrayed a flicker of emotion.And that flicker? Bianca could see it clearly. Indeed... Jade was in a critical condition.Bianca said, "Kneel and beg me."The air froze! Everyone present took a sharp breath at Bianca's words.When Conrad looked at her, an even more dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.Everyone thought Bianca had lost her mind. She must be mad!Otherwise, why would she make such an absurd request to Malcolm, the Entes family's sixth lord?! Did she have any idea of the danger she was in? And now, the look in Malcolm's eyes was not just dangerous... It was almost predatory!It looked as if he could tear Bianca apart at any moment.Yet, Bianca seemed entirely unfaz
After Malcolm left, Bianca felt something was off as she looked at the man holding her. The gaze Zane directed at her was intense."Why are you looking at me like that?" Bianca's words carried a hint of displeasure.Zane replied, "Didn't I tell you not to provoke him?""What? Who would dare provoke him?" Bianca sounded somewhat irked.She had never intended to provoke anyone. All she wanted was to work hard and live her life. Even after witnessing Natalie suffer so much by Cedric's side, she had never considered marriage.Therefore, she had never intended to provoke anyone. Yet, she found herself embroiled in this muddy situation. How could she simply let it go?The man's grip on her tightened."Don't see him these days. Jade is in a critical condition right now," Zane said carefully.While the matters concerning the Entes family were pressing, Zane was also attentive to everything around Malcolm...Especially when it concerned Bianca!Given Jade's critical condition,
Natalie's tone was filled with indulgence. "Look at you. You're all covered in sand. Where were you playing?""In the sandbox! Mommy, do you want to come?" Luna said to Natalie, showcasing how much of a paradise that place was for the child.Heather doted on Luna immensely. After Luna returned to Simeria, the backyard of Lotus Villa was gradually transformed. It was now filled entirely with playground equipment for the child. Essentially, anything available outside could be found here. And the sandbox was Luna's favorite."Mommy has some matters to attend to now. Once I'm free, I'll come and play with you, okay?" Natalie gently said.Luna nodded. She wriggled out of Natalie's arms and then ran off on her tiny legs.Natalie's heart softened as she watched Luna's petite figure. She couldn't deny that at one point, she had prioritized avoiding Cedric completely for Luna's sake. Natalie had done it despite the overwhelming hatred she had felt toward Cedric.However, now...!Sinc
"You never thought of it then, did you?" Whether in this life or the previous one, Cedric never considered stopping regarding what happened at Scarlet Villa.He hadn't even paused to think about throwing her into prison.And even when he considered using Luna to save Kayla, he hadn't contemplated stopping. So, what right did he have to ask her to halt?"If it were her, would you still act this way?"Natalie was obviously talking about Blair!The mere mention of Blair seemed to still the air, making it palpably tense. Even across the phone, Natalie sensed the man's breathing become heavier."Would you?" The chill in Natalie's voice deepened as she probed.On the other end of the line, Cedric felt his entire being tighten, the weight of the question pressing down on him. Would the situations with Isabella or Kayla have unfolded if it had been Blair?"You wouldn't, right?" Natalie didn't wait for Cedric's response but continued with her biting sarcasm.The world seemed to c
"Dream on!" Without hesitation, Cedric swiftly dismissed Abigail.Immediately, Abigail clicked her tongue and said, "So heartless. Remember that grand feast? I fell for you at first sight. Couldn't you have given me some acknowledgment?"Love at first sight? Her? A member of the Schneider family? The sound of a lighter flicked, and the man lit a cigarette. Abigail didn't particularly care for the scent, and her expression darkened at the sight.She continued, "Blair is the wedge between you two. You've always known that, haven't you?"This situation wasn't accidental. Blair was a real person, and she had once existed!This concealed fact had finally come to light after all these years, presenting a threat to Cedric and Natalie's relationship.Cedric took a deep drag from his cigarette, exhaling slowly."You and her can never be!" Abigail stated firmly."Abigail!" The man's voice deepened, clearly unwilling to face this reality."I heard you even planned to use Nat's daug
