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
Zane left after the unpleasant encounter with Bianca, and it wasn't long before Malcolm arrived.However, this time was different. He wasn't granted entry as he had hoped.Zane personally ordered that no one was allowed into Entes Manor without his permission from now on. This command applied to everyone. Consequently, Malcolm couldn't get in."Lord Malcolm said he wants to see you," Ruth informed Bianca once again.Bianca retorted, "Didn't I already say...""Lord Zane has ordered that no one, and I mean absolutely no one, can come in here," Ruth clarified.Bianca paused. Absolutely no one? Did that include members of the Holly family?Just then, her phone vibrated. She glanced at the caller ID to find that it was Natalie calling.Bianca answered. "Nat.""Bia, I'm on my way."Bianca glanced at Ruth and said, "No, don't come over." "But...""You won't be able to come in."Zane's order encompassed everyone. Although it didn't explicitly include members of the Holly fa
Because it was Natalie, she was ultimately allowed into the manor once the servants reported her presence.When Natalie arrived at the infirmary in Entes Manor, she saw Zane standing in the hallway, soaked through. Neil and Aaron stood respectfully behind him with their heads bowed.Natalie felt a complex mix of emotions and weight in her heart when she saw Zane. She approached him and asked, "How is she?"Zane looked at the door of the infirmary and remained silent. Seeing his silence, Natalie felt the suffocating feeling in her chest grow heavier.Ignoring the others around them, she said, "Zane, Bianca really didn't take that five hundred thousand back then!""...""It was because she didn't take the money that those people were even more ruthless to Lucia. Don't you understand after all this time with Bianca?" As she finished speaking, Zane clenched his fists. His gaze sharpened as he looked at the door of the infirmary.Seeing his reaction, Natalie knew Zane didn't believ
Everything happened so suddenly!Firstly, Natalie couldn't quite understand why Malcolm had such an attitude and reaction!But with Zane's hatred towards Bianca, how could he easily let her go?Zane had a reason to keep Bianca, but Malcolm didn't."She's my wife!""Do you really consider her your wife?" At this moment, Malcolm's tone grew even heavier. The words 'my wife' sounded so harsh.The atmosphere froze once again because of his words.Zane's smirk deepened. "That isn't something you should be asking."Natalie and Malcolm were speechless.When Natalie saw the dark glint in Zane's eyes, she felt her breath catch, and the two faced off against each other.Malcolm's attitude seemed to harden a bit more. "What if I insist on taking her away?""Then you'll have to tell the entire Simeria your reasons, right?"At this moment, there was a hint of danger in Zane's tone.The already tense atmosphere grew even colder.What was going on?Malcolm wanted to take Bianca away?
Over the years, even the servants hardly ever entered that room. Eleanor had personally arranged everything inside it. She had even cleaned it with her own hands.Eleanor had started collecting the items when the child was young. She meticulously bought everything and gradually arranged the items according to the child's age.Anyone who didn't know could probably tell that the room bore the distinct traces of one person."I won't do it anymore," Seraphine obediently said. But inside, she felt like a storm was raging. After all these years by Eleanor's side, she still couldn't compare to the child Eleanor left when she was young."I don't have much time left. That woman is already in a coma. I won't let her wake up. So, you should prepare yourself. At least before I go, let me see you...!" "Mother!" Eleanor's words were cut short by Seraphine. Although she was delighted to hear Eleanor say such things, she still had to put on a show. Holding Eleanor's hand a bit tighter, Ser
At this moment, Natalie trusted no one but herself. Malcolm's gaze toward Natalie was filled with anger. However, Natalie remained firm in her attitude. With Neil and others behind her, there was no way Malcolm could forcibly take Bianca away today. Besides, Zane was on his way back.Finally, Malcolm stormed off in frustration. Natalie breathed a sigh of relief only when she saw him leave.When Zane returned, Neil respectfully approached him. "Sir, you're back!""How did it go?""Ms. Jarvis intercepted him."Zane also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Natalie. However, Natalie said, "I didn't do it for you. It was for Bia!"That was right. It was for Bianca's sake! Natalie needed to keep Malcolm and Zane here for now and secretly find out who Bianca's mother really was.Natalie felt that Bianca's mother was likely someone from one of the families in Simeria.Just as they were about to say something, there was a report from the infirmary that Bianca had woken up!
Bianca chuckled.Protection? When she heard those words, she found it ironic. Since she could remember, she knew that no matter the situation or who she encountered, she had to learn to protect herself. She had never been protected by anyone. She only had to wonder if she had enough power to protect herself.Throughout her early life, she had always managed to keep herself safe. But after encountering Malcolm, that man shattered all her tough exterior. And now, Zane wanted to protect her?"Nat, that was such a funny joke!" For some reason, being around Malcolm made Bianca always yearn for someone who could protect her. It was a pity that meeting Zane was another disaster and whirlpool she stumbled into."Bia!" Natalie said."His conditions were that he wanted me to forget my mother and to have no more dealings with Malcolm," Bianca said.At this, Natalie was even more shocked!So, this was what Zane was up to!"This is another retaliation against me," Bianca said.At
