Was Irwin really willing to let go of everything for Natalie's sake?!He actually...!"You..." Cedric began, but Irwin cut him off."You've hurt her enough. She will never forgive you," Not in this lifetime nor the next.Irwin had seen this with his own eyes. So, in his opinion, Cedric being here now served no purpose.And what about Irwin?Ironically, a man who was indifferent and manipulated everyone like puppets found himself entangled in this situation.Upon learning that Natalie might never regain her sight, Irwin's emotions were in turmoil as he made his way back to the hospital.His mind was filled with many thoughts. It all boiled down to the relationship between Natalie and Cedric reaching such a point.Cedric's own indecisiveness was one aspect, and Irwin's schemes... were naturally another.If it weren't for his manipulations, Natalie and Cedric wouldn't have ended up like this. If it weren't for that disastrous fire at the detention center, this wouldn't have
Blair!This name was one they had avoided mentioning for many years because that memory was as vivid as if it had happened yesterday.If Natalie hadn't completely unearthed it this time, Cedric and Irwin might never have faced it head-on in their lifetimes."Irwin, you're truly pitiful!" Cedric said as he looked at Irwin.Blair...! Did Cedric fall for Blair from the beginning? No, it wasn't like that. He couldn't pinpoint when it happened, but it was already too late by the time he wanted to take Blair away."I don't know if it's pitiful or not, and I don't care. I just want to know... do you want it or not?" He was referring to Wexford! Cedric chuckled ironically at Irwin's words.Cedric said, "You've schemed for a lifetime, and now you don't want it?"Yes!Irwin's schemes against him had always been about Wexford. First Blair, and then Natalie! The depth of Irwin's thoughts was not something anyone could easily see. It was the same even for Cedric, who grew up wit
Those two...!Upon returning to the courtyard, Natalie listened to the comforting sound of the dripping rain on the roof, even though she wasn't quite used to the local climate."I made you some soup this afternoon," Lydia said. Natalie had been in the hospital for the past week, and she had a cold. Due to that, she hadn't gotten the extra nourishment from the food Lydia and Xyla usually prepared for her.Now that she was better, she needed to replenish her body properly."Okay," Natalie nodded.Leaning close to Natalie's ear, Lydia whispered, "Miss, I overheard Mr. Johnson on the phone just now. He mentioned something about Frederick!"Natalie fell silent.Frederick?!She had always suspected that Frederick was in Cedric's hands. And now...? Natalie replied, "Okay. I got it."Now that Natalie couldn't see, she naturally thought more than others. During these days without proper meals, she had been pondering a question—the issue of Frederick.Undoubtedly...! Even thou
Indeed! In the beginning, he didn't know the child was his. So, when he took Luna away, he...!He didn't have the right to do anything to Luna, even if she wasn't his. After all, Natalie had gone through so much to give birth to Luna.Those few days were a nightmare for Luna and Natalie...!Even now, Natalie could still remember how she frantically searched from one hospital to another like a mad woman. She had been constantly worried that something might happen to Luna. It was such a heart-wrenching feeling for a mother! Natalie could still vividly recall every moment."You knew about it later, but you still planned to use her to save Kayla!" So, this kind of reasoning simply didn't hold up with him. In the end, he knew everything! He knew it all. That was the most unforgivable action he had done in Natalie's eyes.At that time, when it was clear that Luna was his, he still did such things. How could Natalie forgive him for that?"Luna was crying and refused to e
"In my heart, you're all the same. None of you are good!" Natalie said sarcastically.Her words were a fact.After learning about Blair, she didn't trust either Cedric or Irwin.Not one bit.Cedric was silent.His heart was bleeding! No matter what the topic of discussion was between them nowadays, she always managed to make him feel pain without much effort."Information about Frederick, huh? Hah!"What a temptation. At that moment, Natalie didn't say anything. She was just waiting for a result. She wanted to see what choice Cedric would make this time.In truth, she already knew the answer in her heart. But at this moment, she still wanted to carefully observe what the actual result would be.Would it be like what happened with Kayla?When Cedric heard that something was wrong with Kayla, he left without hesitation."Things in Wexford aren't as simple as you think, Nat! Don't draw conclusions about me in this matter," Cedric emphasized as he looked at Natalie's pained
The relationship she had with Zane was a contractual one, so it made sense that she wouldn't appear with him on such a significant occasion.That way, there was no need to explain too much to the world when they clarified their relationship when the time was right.Zane frowned and looked at Bianca. Obviously, her unexpected compliance surprised him. Bianca asked, "What's the matter?"Zane said, "Is there anything you want to say?""I want to know when it will end."Bianca didn't care much about the internal affairs of the Entes family. But now that Robert was gone, she wondered if it was time for the new head of the Entes family to settle in. She had been waiting for this moment!Now, she really wanted to know what the outcome was."What if he wins?" Zane suddenly took her hand. At that moment, he could feel the cold sweat in Bianca's palm. It was evident that she had never thought of letting Malcolm win.The relationship between her and Zane was like a strategic game ag
After hesitating, Zane said, "The Entes family is an abyss. You shouldn't keep staring into the abyss."Bianca was silent.An abyss? Zane regarded his own family as if it were an abyss? It was evident that in Zane's heart, that place was something else entirely.At this moment, Bianca finally understood what the sparks in the man's hand represented in the dim space of the study.That feeling, which seemed heavy to her when she didn't understand, now made sense.It was... loneliness! Even among a family with many relatives, what he felt most was still the taste of loneliness.If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't have considered leaving the Entes family all those years ago. He wouldn't have hidden away in Regal Horizons International under another identity.At that time, many people probably sought him out. However, no one would have expected that the illustrious seventh lord of the Entes family would work as an assistant at Regal Horizons International!It was a good disgu
Perhaps it would have been better if Bianca didn't mention Natalie.Whenever Natalie's name came up, a fleeting and subtle complex emotion would cross Zane's eyes.His gaze towards Bianca also grew more solemn.Bianca fell silent.So, what did Yvette's arrogant presumption amount to? Zane didn't directly respond to her question. He simply said, "She can't afford any more upheavals in her world. Now that both Irwin and Cedric are by her side, it seems the situation isn't favorable.""What's wrong with her?" Bianca asked."If nothing unexpected happens, she'll lose her sight permanently."At those words, Bianca's heart skipped a beat.Thinking about how Natalie would permanently remain in the darkness, Bianca felt suffocated.In those two years...! Under Malcolm's torment, there was a week she spent entirely in darkness, unable to see anything.No one would understand how she barely managed to survive that week. She had even thought she might never have a chance to see ligh
