At this moment, Kyle finally understood that Cedric wasn't feeling good about the decisions he had made. Unfortunately, these choices were ultimately beyond anyone's comprehension! Or, more accurately, Natalie was one of the people who would never understand his decisions!"If you go to Yuloria at this time, it'll take at least six months," Kyle solemnly reminded Cedric.Indeed.Six months!Under normal circumstances, half a year already felt like an eternity. Who knew what would happen in Wexford during that time?Given this situation, Kyle was firmly against it.However, Cedric seemed determined.Clyde's words echoed in his mind.Priorities... and choices!In life, there were many significant considerations. Sometimes, one must make difficult choices.He owed Natalie so much... from across both lifetimes! Everything she had gone through ultimately traced back to him. "Alright. I understand." Kyle nodded.At that moment, his eyes were unwavering. All his doubts ab
When did she present her terms? When? At the very beginning, Bianca had repeated the same things.Faye's fall had nothing to do with her. Let her go!She had also said Malcolm had no right to treat her this way!All these incidents were conditions Bianca set forth for Malcolm. But what was the outcome?For two long years, she watched as he slowly dismantled her career in Verde City and tarnished her reputation. Rumors swirled in Verde City about the true nature of the undefeated lawyer...! No one knew the turmoil within Bianca when people read those articles filled with lies about her."When you destroyed me, weren't you adept at it? I never thought emotions would ensnare a man like you, Lord Malcolm!" As Bianca continued to speak, her tone grew colder.Indeed, she had clearly laid out her desires and revealed all the facts to Malcolm. Yet, he never listened. Now, he wanted to hear her terms, but Bianca felt there was nothing left in her life worth bargaining fo
"Bianca, do you really believe your relationship with him will last?""...""You don't hold his heart! Sooner or later, you'll be discarded, and when that happens-""By then, I'll have witnessed your miserable end, Lord Malcolm. Everything that I wanted to do would have been done. I'll have no regrets!" Bianca interjected sharply.Malcolm remained silent, his aura growing even colder at that moment.Bianca was not just a tough nut to crack.She was like a wolf, fierce and untamed!Eventually, Malcolm stormed off in frustration, finding Bianca impossible to deal with. He had laid out all his demands, but she remained unmoved no matter what he offered.This further infuriated him.Inside the car, Conrad sensed the tension in the air. "Did Ms. Sanders still not agree to it?"Ms. Sanders? Indeed, when Bianca wasn't around, Malcolm's people often referred to her as Ms. Sanders. Conrad recalled an incident where someone had addressed Bianca as Lady Bianca in Malcolm's presence an
Although Malcolm was reluctant to admit it, he had to concede that he had truly met his match in Bianca.-At Lotus Villa, chaos erupted early in the morning. Everyone was in a frenzy, and the entire villa was in an uproar because…Natalie was missing! She was missing, and… there was only a letter left behind in her absence!Stephen examined the note. It wasn't in Natalie's handwriting—it was Cedric's. The letter contained just one line, [I will bring her back safely.]"Safely? Does he even know what that word even means?" Clearly, Heather also recognized the sender of the letter. Cedric had been there just yesterday, and now, Natalie was gone. Evading all the security systems at Lotus Villa to successfully abduct someone was no small feat, making Cedric both impressive and infuriating.Stephen's eyes flashed with determination."Steph, we must get her back, no matter what! I don't care what we have to do...!" Heather said, struggling to maintain her composure.Given rece
"Steph, we need to find her as soon as possible!" Heather's voice tightened with urgency.Yes, they needed to bring Natalie back swiftly. They needed to get her away from Cedric!The situation in Wexford was already precarious. Given Cedric's unique status there, it was impossible to think that it wouldn't affect Natalie.When Clyde returned, Heather approached him anxiously. "Cly, is there any news? Did he go to Wexford?"Wexford!Upon learning that Cedric had taken Natalie, their immediate suspicion was that he had taken her to Wexford.Considering Wexford's unstable situation, Cedric taking Natalie there would be extremely dangerous. Heather was already on the verge of losing her composure when Clyde shook his head. "No."The answer only tightened the knot in everyone's hearts. They weren't in Wexford?"Kyle, who came to Simeria with him this time, has gone back. We have no idea where Cedric is!" Clyde said.At this revelation, Heather felt as if all the strength had
Natalie woke up with a slight headache and immediately sensed that something was amiss. The bed seemed to be swaying, and it felt like an earthquake was happening.She opened her eyes to assess the situation. However, she stiffened instantly! She sat up from the bed with a swift motion, closed her eyes, then opened them again. Yet... darkness...! Complete darkness filled her vision.She reached out, but she couldn't see anything in the darkness, not even her own hand.The common belief was that in any kind of darkness, one should at least be able to see moving shadows as long as one's vision is intact.However, Natalie couldn't see anything.As Natalie tried to comprehend her situation, Cedric came over after being alerted by the commotion.When he arrived, he saw Natalie getting out of bed.Her eyes were... blank and dull.Cedric's heart skipped a beat. He knew all too well what it meant when a person's eyes in that state.And Natalie now... "Nat." His chest tig
Yuloria?Natalie had heard of that place before. It was a place with beautiful landscapes. Cedric had even once mentioned taking her there when he had time to relax, enjoy delicious food, and experience the local customs. Little did they know that they would end up going there under such circumstances."I want to return home!" She said with unwavering determination. She didn't want to go to Yuloria. She just wanted to be far away from this man, especially in this helpless darkness. Right now, all she wanted was to return to her family and to be with her parents.She had no desire to be near Cedric."Be good," Cedric said.He came to her side and took her ice-cold hand that lacked any warmth. Natalie was about to forcefully pull away from him, but he tightened his grip so she couldn't break free.Natalie was silent.Her whole body was trembling, and Cedric clearly felt her shivering."Nat.""I told you, let go of me!" Her voice trembled, showing extreme resistance to th
What a statement!When Natalie heard those words, she laughed—a crazy, tear-inducing laughter."Nat!"Her laughter, in the end, stabbed his heart.Their relationship shouldn't be like this. Why did it have to come to this point? And at this stage, who should be blamed?After her moment of madness, Natalie suddenly seemed to calm down. However, even in this calmness, Cedric could still feel her body trembling."It's like I'm like someone without free will in your world, Cedric," Natalie said.Once, when they had been together....Even in their past life, others used to say she had a luxurious life. They said that Cedric cherished her so much and that she didn't need to do anything. She just needed to be the young mistress of the Johnson family and live a good life. But only Natalie knew...She never had any freedom after she got together with Cedric.Regardless of anything, it was always Cedric who made decisions between them. She was never in control. Now, as she spok
