Why?!"Mom, what are you saying?" At this moment, Christina was truly panicked. Previously, when she first entered prison, she always thought she wouldn't be there for too long. Rebecca would surely find a way to rescue her, and Cedric wouldn't really treat her so heartlessly. After all, they grew up together.But in the end, she was disappointed. After Christina entered prison, not a single person came to see her. She endured so much pain there, and the people she thought she could rely on never appeared before her again.As a result, she finally understood the reality.Now, she had finally managed to escape prison.How could she simply return to that hellish place?!"Tina, don't think I don't know what you've done! You... should also pay the price for those actions."Rebecca couldn't bear to do this, but then she recalled Cedric's pain in the hospital and Natalie's indifference at Western Mountain Enclave.She realized how foolish her previous indulgence had been. And b
Christina had utterly lost all rational thoughts. She stood up, intending to say something hysterical to Natalie when scalding coffee splashed onto her face.When she regained her clarity, she glared at Natalie with hatred."Natalie!""Do you see it?" Natalie asked.In the past, Christina had constantly reminded Natalie of the gap between their status. Ever since Natalie married Cedric and entered the doors of the Johnson family, everyone there repeatedly reminded her of it. "I can do whatever I want to you now, including splashing coffee on you. And you? There's not even a cup of coffee before you, even if you wanted one!"That meant Christina didn't even have a way to retaliate now.Christina was speechless, and her mind went blank. She couldn't process what was happening at all.She hadn't expected this...!When Natalie first left Verde City, she hadn't been this overbearing. Now, Natalie seemed like a stranger to Christina.Natalie stood like a queen on a higher ground,
Rebecca was anxious upon learning of Cedric's hospital discharge. Due to his severe injuries and recent eye surgery, leaving the hospital was unwise.What if there were complications?However, she knew deep down that no one could persuade Cedric to do otherwise besides Natalie. So, after numerous failed attempts to convince Cedric, Rebecca was again at Westhill Enclave's entrance.However, things were different this time.This time, she wasn't allowed in. "Why won't you let me in? I won't do anything," Rebecca protested. Was it because Natalie didn't want to see her?That must be the reason. If Natalie hadn't given such orders, why would these people prevent her from entering?"Guards!"The gatekeeper's face darkened, indicating he had no intention of discussing matters with Rebecca further, nor would he allow her to cause a scene here.Seeing the gatekeeper calling the guards over, Rebecca knew what they would do to her!A suffocating feeling overwhelmed her heart."I ju
What did that mean?It meant that everything Austin mentioned to Natalie before was undoubtedly already underway...!The Entes family elders, who previously supported Zane's inheritance of the family, had begun discussing suitable candidates to be his queen.That was why Bianca couldn't move to Entes Manor right now.When Natalie thought about this, she became even more worried. "Bia..."Natalie knew about the situation in Simeria despite being in Dawnvale, but Bianca was in the thick of it!Natalie didn't need to ask if Bianca was aware of her situation.When Bianca heard Natalie's concern, her heart softened, and she said, "It's okay, Nat. You know why I'm with him.""What will you do now?""There's nothing I can do but wait," Bianca said."Wait...?" For what? The outcome?After all these years, Bianca finally landed the final blow on Malcolm in retaliation for their grievances. So, what she was waiting for now naturally pertained to the outcome with Zane."Yeah, I'll w
Bianca took several deep breaths but couldn't suppress the heaviness in her heart. When she next spoke, she couldn't quite conceal her emotions."What are you up to?" Bianca asked."Behave yourself, alright?" Malcolm responded.At that moment, Bianca's patience snapped. "Go to hell!" Malcolm chuckled at Bianca's outburst, his laughter tinged with irony."Bianca, the trouble you've stirred up for me will come at a cost, don't you think?" he taunted.Trouble? Yes! Malcolm had spent years planning to take control of the entire Entes family. Despite being considered the most likely successor, Bianca managed to disrupt everything."What if I don't want to?" Bianca was not someone who could be easily threatened. Once she found an opportunity to strike back, she would crush her opponent without hesitation. Just as Malcolm had used cunning to suppress her, he had ultimately faced her fierce resistance.But this time, Bianca's actions had crossed the limit of Malcolm's patience.I
Bianca had never thought about obtaining that position, but after Malcolm's call today, she probably...!When Malcolm was in control, he always went straight for the goal. So, it was easy to guess what he wanted now!"Lorraine.""Yes?""Thanks for letting me know.""You're welcome!" Lorraine didn't say anything further. She genuinely liked Bianca. Moreover, there were no vested interests between Bianca and her, so this liking came from the heart. After all, the other members of the Entes family had entered the family to gain benefits. That was all they were focused on.Bianca was the only exception!"Do you know who their candidate is now?" Bianca asked.Since Lorraine was here and asking her all these questions, Bianca assumed Lorraine probably already knew.Sure enough, Lorraine looked at Bianca with sharp eyes filled with admiration."Of course.""Who is it?""The Holly family's daughter, Seraphine Holly.""The Holly family?""Yes."Bianca naturally knew the famil
The document was... a critical illness notification issued just a week ago!In other words, her mother was...!Bianca's mind was blank. She somehow managed to answer Malcolm's call, but nothing came out when she tried to speak. It was too sudden! Everything was just too sudden for her."...What exactly do you want?" Bianca finally asked."Do you believe me now?"Did she?"Or... Would you like to take a risk and gamble on this?"Bianca fell silent. When she heard the man's words, her tense heart tightened further.When Malcolm asked her if she believed him, she instinctively wanted to say no. However, when the man asked the latter question, she harshly swallowed her spontaneous response.Did she dare? Of course not!She ran her fingers through her hair in frustration, unable to contain her inner turmoil any longer."What exactly do you want?!" Malcolm was just crazy, trying to drive her insane along with him. At this point, Bianca could see it all too clearly.Malcolm li
As Natalie listened to Bianca, her heart tightened further. Before she could speak, Bianca said, "She's my only family left in this world...!"So, even though she knew Malcolm might be deceiving her, she still dared not risk it.Upon hearing Bianca's words, Natalie was at a loss for words. She knew that if Bianca chose to stay in Simeria, she would face the consequences.However, Natalie couldn't find the words to persuade her. "Just be careful, okay?"As Bianca said, her mother was the only family left in the world, so she couldn't take the risk."Okay." "Did he ask you to become the queen of Simeria?""Yes."Natalie was speechless. This was only the beginning!Malcolm had been plotting in Simeria for so many years, and the Entes family's inheritance was supposed to be his. But who would have thought that it would all fall apart because of Bianca?With all the effort he had expanded, how could he willingly leave Simeria like this? Making Bianca Zane's queen was just the
