This also led the Holly family to speculate whether Zane's feelings towards the Holly family were really as rumored...!Thinking of that possibility, Eleanor's already pale complexion became even more somber.Seraphine nodded. "I understand, Mother."In front of Eleanor, she dared not say much. After all, she was her foster daughter! So, every time Eleanor said something, she listened.As for her own thoughts... Seraphine never had her own opinions."I heard you arranged for it today...?" Seraphine thought of the car accident and looked at Eleanor.Eleanor frowned. "Despite such warnings, she still refuses to relent. She's a tough nut to crack!""...""The road ahead of you will be tough!" Tough, but she had to succeed! Otherwise...!Today's accident was only a warning...?Seraphine felt frustrated. Why couldn't they just directly take down that woman? She felt suffocated when she thought about that.Eleanor glanced at Seraphine and said, "Sera, I may not have much time le
Given this, Bianca's fate in Simeria could easily be imagined. Natalie thought that Bianca being manipulated was already the worst-case scenario. However, Bianca's following words truly sent shivers down her spine.Bianca told her that not only did Malcolm know about it, but Zane also knew! Moreover, Zane had been preventing her from reaching that position, ultimately preventing her from achieving her desires before Malcolm.Upon hearing this, Natalie gasped. For a long time, she couldn't calm down. Then, she said to Bianca, "Bia, you should leave!"Yes!Forget about it...! In Natalie's view, continuing like this would only lead to endless suffering, and that was the worst part."Zane also knows who she is, right?""Yes."Natalie fell silent. Bianca's situation had already been terrible initially, but now she was trapped even more! Zane and Malcolm would never let Bianca go. They hated Bianca and wished she were dead."Nat.""Bia, Zane won't let you find out about your m
Rebecca had always been heartbroken for her son. Seeing Cedric make such a decision, Rebecca was both saddened and furious."If you don't go, I'll find them myself," Rebecca declared.She was Cedric's mother. How could she bear to see him live a lonely life? Once, she had driven Natalie to despair and away. Now, she was going to bring Natalie back.But as she turned to leave, Cedric's voice stopped her in her tracks. "If you go, don't bother coming back!"Rebecca halted, turning to look at Cedric. In his eyes glinted an unwavering resolve, as if he truly meant to shut her out if she crossed that threshold. If she went, he would really disown her."Ced!" Rebecca protested."Let her go, okay?" Cedric said.Rebecca fell silent.Was Cedric really saying such words now? It was evident that after Natalie's complete disappearance, Cedric had been pondering a lot. What exactly did he mean to Natalie? Why couldn't he win her back, even across two lifetimes?It was because the
Since Natalie was in Simeria, she naturally desired to be by Bianca's side at all times. After all, she would leave with Austin again after Stephen's birthday banquet.Natalie arrived at Entes Manor during breakfast the following day. Faced with Bianca's decision to stay in Simeria, Natalie hesitated to speak. Naturally, Natalie wanted Bianca to fare better!"Are the people involved in Lucia's matter really gone?" Natalie asked."Do you think Zane would let them live?" Bianca replied. Perhaps Zane had tortured them to insanity a long time ago.However, Bianca understood what Natalie was getting at. Natalie wanted to help Bianca find those people. No matter what it took, Natalie wanted to make them admit that Bianca wasn't responsible for Lucia's death.Hard as it was to admit, Bianca understood Natalie's thoughts. She sighed and looked at Natalie. "Even if some of them are still around, what difference would it make?""Bia!""Even if we extract the truth from them, Zane
Seeing Natalie sigh, Austin knew she had seen Zane. Austin had looked into Lucia after discovering her existence. Once he did, he naturally understood how important Lucia was to Zane. He also knew that Bianca couldn't escape from this matter."Worrying won't help. If Zane doesn't vent his anger, Bianca's future will be even more dangerous," Austin said. Zane had been holding it in for so many years. Now that he had found an outlet to vent, why would he let Bianca off?"But this matter really has nothing to do with Bianca. She didn't take the money," Natalie said. She remembered how enraged Bianca had been when she had told Natalie about the incident. Bianca was furious at the audacity of the other party to handle it that way. But why...?!"Zane won't believe it. No matter what evidence is presented to him now, he won't believe it!" Austin said.This was the fundamental issue.Natalie fell silent. Indeed! Zane wouldn't believe it. Natalie recalled Zane's demeanor when s
In the end, Bianca followed the older servant to a room to change her clothes. The room... was huge! Everything was inside—clothes, shoes, bags, and even a bed!"This doesn't look like a place for guests to change clothes, right?" Bianca said as she looked at the elderly servant. It seemed more like someone's personal room. But it didn't look like anyone lived there.The old servant replied, "Usually, this is where we prepare clothes for guests. But accidents like this rarely happen at parties, so no one has been here before.""I see," Bianca replied."Yes, ma'am. Now, please choose a dress you like. Do you need help?" the old servant asked."No, thanks," Bianca shook her head. The old servant nodded and left.Alone in the room, Bianca went to the closet and opened it. Inside were all brand new clothes. There were plenty of formal dresses, taking up most of the space. On the other side were trendy new outfits. The tags were still on them, showing they were all new.Bianca ra
Just as Bianca said, wasn't this what he had always wanted to see? Why couldn't he bear to watch this now...?!The man's tone grew sterner as he said, "It doesn't matter. Just stop attending these events!"Liam's eyes dimmed further upon hearing Malcolm's words.Bianca didn't respond.-Malcolm left Bianca at the entrance of Entes Manor. When Bianca turned to go in, Neil was waiting outside. She also noticed Zane's car parked nearby.After seeing her, Neil hurried over. When he noticed a man's coat draped over her shoulders, Neil felt uneasy."What's this?""Nothing," Bianca replied before entering. As she walked, she asked Neil, "Has he returned?"Although she saw Zane's car outside, she still asked. Neil replied, "He just arrived. It hasn't even been five minutes since he returned."Bianca entered the manor to find Zane sitting on the sofa. His gaze was sharp and sinister, and his face was unusually flushed.Bianca looked at him silently, then ignored him and turned
When Bianca woke up the next morning, Simeria was already in an uproar!Although what happened at last night's banquet wasn't revealed, gossip was rampant among the upper class.Ruth glanced at Bianca and said, "Lord Malcolm wishes to see you!""Why doesn't he come here if he wants to see me?"Did he really need her consent?!Ruth hesitated. Bianca quietly ate her breakfast and sipped her milk. Even the servants looked at her suspiciously, evidently aware of what had happened last night."You're dismissed," Bianca said, clearly not wanting to see Ruth. Whenever it came to Malcolm's people, she tried to keep them as far away from herself as possible, at least while she was here."He's waiting for you!" Ruth insisted."Then ask him to come here." Bianca clearly had no desire to go see him.Was it a threat?Bianca had never been coerced like this in her life, and now her mental state was teetering on the edge of collapse.Seeing her determination, Ruth didn't say anything m
