Although they had anticipated such a scenario early on, they couldn't help but be surprised when it actually happened!Natalie sighed. "Those two...!"Natalie and Clyde hadn't expected someone from the Entes family to act so quickly, even after Stephen had left Simeria. Now, everything fell on Clyde's shoulders!However, Regal Horizons International's influence still loomed, formerly under Stephen and now under Clyde."So, what do we do now?" Natalie asked.Natalie's initial reaction was to seek out her father. However, she remembered how long Stephen had wanted to retire with Heather since Natalie returned to the Jarvis family. Disrupting their peace was something neither Natalie nor Clyde could bear. After all, Stephen and Heather had waited for this happiness for so many years. Now, they finally had it. As their children, Natalie and Clyde knew how much they wanted it. So, how could they bear to disturb them?"You don't have to worry about this," Clyde said.Natalie fel
The Entes family's seventh lady?Indeed...! Over the years in Simeria, everything in Verde City seemed to have little connection to Natalie anymore. When she thought about these things, she couldn't quite describe her feelings.Clyde glanced at her and said, "Don't feel too pressured. Your friendship should only be about emotional connection. There's no need to bring up family matters."Natalie understood Clyde's words. There was no need to discuss the Jarvis or Entes families during her interaction with Bianca.She had to admit that it was a question of boundaries. As friends, such boundaries were hard to define.But Natalie always heeded Clyde's words. She nodded. "Okay."However, Clyde didn't mention anything specific about Zane. In Natalie's view, it probably wasn't anything significant. If there were any developments, Clyde would surely inform her. But it was also hard to say.Clyde was a complex man. Sometimes, even as his sister, she couldn't see through him.As Nata
Natalie reminded Irwin time and again that no matter what happened in her life now, it was none of his business.When Irwin heard that Icarus and Malcolm had been negotiating with Clyde, he couldn't care less about everything else and rushed to Simeria. In the end, this was the response Irwin got for his effort."Nat." For a long time, Irwin could do nothing but look at Natalie and call out her name. However, the woman was cold and devoid of any warmth. No one knew how much pain Irwin was in. He even almost forgot the pain he endured back when he lost Blair...! Even after he put it behind him, he thought there would never be anyone else in the world who could make him as miserable as Blair did. And now, looking at Natalie's icy and heartless attitude, his heart... ached. It felt like someone had torn his chest open and grabbed his heart.Just then, Natalie's phone vibrated. Natalie looked at the number. Then, she glanced in Irwin's direction and answered the phone."H
Dylan stepped forward."Sir..." His tone was solemn. Obviously, Dylan had also witnessed the scene just now and realized how chaotic things had become between Natalie and Irwin.Even if it meant getting involved with the Entes family, she didn't want to be entangled with Irwin. So, it was easy to imagine what happened among them in the past.Irwin seemed like he couldn't hear anything. He stood still as if lost in his thoughts, and he could not snap out of it for a long time.After what seemed like forever, Irwin finally said, "Dylan.""Yes, sir?""Does she hate me that much?" Hatred was a word that made others feel helpless.No one wanted to incur another person's hatred, right? But Irwin hadn't thought about these things initially. Now, facing it head-on, it was agonizing.Dylan sighed. "Every time you reached out to Ms. Walker back then, it was during her toughest times and when she was going through the most emotional turmoil."It was said that women, especially duri
Irwin was now in a world of torment. He had made a promise to Cedric, but due to the negative behavior of the entire Jarvis family, he was unable to keep it.Now, he was closely monitoring the situation between Natalie and the Entes family, and it felt like his heart was constantly under immense pressure!-At the restaurant, Austin tenderly placed the sliced steak in front of Natalie. His demeanor exuded elegance and gentleness, captivating even the nearby waiter. His refined features were especially irresistible, and it was surprising to many that the rumored fool was not only handsome but also caring."Thank you," Natalie said politely.Austin replied, "You don't have to be so formal with me."His warm tone made Natalie pause. She took a sip of the red wine before addressing Austin, "Don't think too much about what happened on the phone earlier."Undoubtedly, this meal was Natalie's treat. In Simeria, everyone was exploitable except for those from the Entes family. Natali
Natalie silently gazed at Austin for a long time. Her sharp eyes seemed like they wanted to see right through the man before her. Ever since Irwin and Cedric entered her life, Natalie's greatest desire was to see through people's hearts! She wished she had that ability, but she only realized after encountering those two men that the human heart was the most difficult thing to decipher in this world."What are you looking at?" Austin asked as he chuckled."You're right. In the current situation, it seems like you're my only option," Natalie said."...""But, Lord Austin...""Since you know, that's enough!" Austin interrupted Natalie's words casually.Natalie fell silent.Then, Austin said, "You'll attend a banquet with me tonight."Natalie's demeanor turned icy."I haven't agreed to anything," she replied."You should consider if I will agree instead, Natalie. Things on my end aren't simple either," Austin reminded Natalie seriously.Clearly, he was telling Natalie to sei
As soon as Natalie finished speaking, a shadow passed over the man's eyes. Before Malcolm could speak, Natalie continued in a mocking and sarcastic tone, "Why would you warn me for Bianca's sake? Does Bianca still hold any favor in your eyes? I wasn't aware of that."If there was anyone who could speak for Bianca, Natalie certainly had the right. In her eyes, Malcolm had practically thrown Bianca into the mud, and now he was acting like he was doing her a favor?"Have you forgotten how you threw her into the abyss? And now you expect me to do you a favor because of Bianca?" Natalie's words were sharp, cutting to the heart of the matter."...""How many times in the past have you said she was unworthy, hmm?" Natalie mocked Malcolm.Wasn't that exactly the case?Men, in many instances, were far more poisonous with their words than women.Malcolm remained silent, the air thick with tension as they stared at each other.After a while, Malcolm chuckled with a dangerous glint in hi
Rebecca had practically blamed Natalie for everything that had happened.She had once compromised so much for Natalie, but Rebecca felt only hatred and regret toward her now. Rebecca had seen countless lawyers. From insisting on finding the best at the beginning, now she was willing to accept anyone who could help her bring Luna to her side. However, to her dismay, every lawyer she approached backed off when they learned that the custody battle was against Natalie. Even hiring foreign lawyers proved to be of no help."Seriously...!" Rebecca gritted her teeth. After seeing dozens of lawyers, she was furious. She fiercely threw the teacup to the ground, and it instantly shattered. Her face twisted with a grim expression, wishing to tear Natalie apart."Madam, you should give up." Even Calvin, who had been by Rebecca's side and could handle anything perfectly, was helpless in Simeria and facing off against the Jarvis family.But how could Rebecca give up? Just the thought of
