Rebecca was consumed by anguish. It was as if her whole body was on fire, and the pain she felt was entirely her own to bear!Eventually, Calvin forcefully brought Rebecca back. Inside the villa, Calvin was already arranging for things to be packed. Watching Calvin efficiently organize everything, Rebecca's eyes were filled with sorrow."Calvin, how could you...""Madam, you know what kind of influence the Entes family has. Even though their family is going through a critical period, it doesn't change how dangerous they are!""..." Rebecca was speechless."We absolutely can't stay here any longer, especially after Lord Austin made it clear that he doesn't want to see us again today.""Hah..." Just because the Entes family's third son didn't want to see them, they had to leave?The more she thought about it, the more Rebecca agonized. What right did Natalie have? Why did she deserve the protection of such a man? What right did she have?!"Let's leave Simeria for now," Calv
When Austin heard her words, his eyes dimmed. Then he said, "From now on, you won't have to see those people if you don't want to..."Natalie fell silent.It was only then that she remembered that when this man forcibly took her into the car, he ordered his people to drive Rebecca and her entourage out of Simeria.Drive them out, huh? Such a domineering and arbitrary method was probably only used by men from the Entes family!She had to admit that such methods were indeed effective. Natalie had thought about it, especially after what had just happened. She had been considering asking Clyde to throw Rebecca out of Simeria when she returned. She was tired of it all."Thank you!" Everything had its consequences. Even though she could handle such matters herself, this man acted first. So, a thank you was not excessive.Austin smiled. "It's rare for you to remember to be polite."Polite?Indeed! With Rebecca's appearance and Natalie's subsequent loss of control, where was th
Over the years, Rebecca and Cedric had both tried various methods to get Christina out, right?They hadn't been successful before this, so how was Christina suddenly released?Natalie wasn't aware that Cedric hadn't tried getting Christina out of prison. After knowing the truth, he hadn't bothered about Christina."It's Lord Icarus," Clyde said, looking at Natalie.Icarus?! Just what was going on?!"He probably did it to stop you and Lord Austin," Clyde added.This move by Icarus truly puzzled everyone. Natalie asked, "Is she in Simeria?"Austin had driven Rebecca out of Simeria, and now Christina was here right after that happened?!It's easy to deduce that if Christina was brought to Simeria by the Entes family, Rebecca didn't need to leave Simeria. What would happen next? The scene could be quite intense!"Yeah," Clyde responded.Christina was already in Simeria. But before this, they didn't know anything. Icarus had kept everything secret."Let's wait and see," Natal
As Natalie watched Irwin stiffen, she casually took a sip of her tea before turning back to him."Go ahead. For whose sake this time should I not touch her?""Nat...""Or do you think I should let her go because of my eyes now, even if she comes at me?"Irwin remained silent. There was a suffocating feeling in his chest!Christina had always been a reminder of what had happened to Cedric. So, even after Christina went to prison, regardless of whatever methods Rebecca used, Cedric never relented. As long as Cedric didn't relent, no one could get Christina out, right? So, how was she out now?"Why are you so quiet?" Natalie chuckled, her laughter dripping with irony, tightening the hearts of those who heard her.Irwin had never felt so uncomfortable before! But now...!"I'll figure it out," Irwin said. "And then?" Before Irwin could continue, Natalie swiftly interjected, "After figuring it out, what then?"Watching Natalie's confrontational expression, Irwin's already
The hatred within her heart was the kind that could lead to complete estrangement. In fact, it would be quite relaxing if such a thing actually happened.As long as there's no interaction, some things could be ignored. But what was the problem now? Rebecca kept appearing in front of her, and Christina... was also coming! In this case, how could Natalie let go of the past?"Nat!""We don't know why Christina is coming, but one thing is certain: things won't be that simple," Natalie said, trying hard to remain calm though her heart was in turmoil. Whenever a member of the Johnson family appeared before Natalie now, it would inevitably trigger her emotions.Clyde tightened his arms around Natalie. "Don't worry, I'm here.""I know." It was because she had a family by her side that she could still manage to control her emotions most of the time.In Clyde's arms, Natalie gradually calmed down.Finally, the two sat down. Clyde handed Natalie a glass of water. "Here. Drink slowl
How precious was hope to a person?Irwin stared blankly at Natalie. Once again, he was unable to react to her words.She really hated him!Irwin could feel the intensity of Natalie's hatred through her gaze."..." He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words."You want me to give him hope? Haha!"Had Cedric ever done that for her?Did he ever try to give her hope when she repeatedly fell into despair?So, he said he left her side because he couldn't see any hope between them?Yes, that was the right thing to do.Upon seeing Natalie's state, Irwin realized he had nothing left to say. Everything had been said already!Despite his efforts, Natalie's response remained unchanged.In that case, was there anything else to say?Naturally, there was nothing!-In the end, Irwin left without saying anything. His actions indicated that Natalie had completely broken him this time.She had defeated him thoroughly with her repeated indifference and coldness.But even t
While Robert was alive, he always seemed to favor Zane a lot. However, it was Icarus who always resided in the manor.The butler led Natalie through various twists and turns, finally leading her to a pavilion garden where Icarus awaited her.Despite having had some prior interactions, they had rarely met in person. Natalie, in particular, had always consciously avoided direct encounters with Icarus. As a result, their face-to-face meetings had been almost non-existent.Natalie spent a few moments observing the man before her. She had to admit that the Entes family's men probably had very good genes, hence their absolutely extraordinary looks."Ms. Jarvis, you're quite a difficult woman to catch!" Icarus said as he turned around to look at her.Although he was smiling, Natalie could see the dark glint in his eyes. The air around him was cold, and he exuded a dangerous aura like Malcolm."I'm sure you're a busy man, Lord Icarus. I couldn't bear to disturb you.""You're quite qui
Important?Christina tensed when she heard what Icarus said. Would Natalie...?Before Christina could think further, Icarus indulgently asked Natalie, "Do you want her?"Yes, his voice was indulgent. Christina remembered how Cedric treated Natalie the same way, showering her with all his love. She had been so hysterical back then, witnessing Natalie receiving all of Cedric's affection. She wished she could pull Natalie down from that pedestal!But she had never succeeded.Where was Cedric? And why was this man being so indulgent towards Natalie?Christina couldn't understand why this was happening! She was genuinely afraid Natalie would decide to marry Icarus. Given their history, Natalie definitely wouldn't let Christina off easily.While Christina had been in prison for years, she had also thought a lot. Even though she suffered a lot in prison, she knew that it would be worse if she was in the outside world!Cedric had been very disappointed in Christina and didn't care
