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
Natalie and Ruth waited outside.When they saw Malcolm carrying Bianca out, Natalie instinctively moved forward to intervene, but Ruth stopped her."You...!""If you care for Ms. Sanders, don't interfere," Ruth said firmly.Ms. Sanders? Was that Ruth's new address for Bianca? Or did his people already know about Malcolm's plan to take her away?Although Natalie was hesitant to accept the situation, she could see a dangerous gleam in Malcolm's eyes, coupled with a sense of resolution.Ruth respectfully bowed as Bianca remained buried in Malcolm's embrace. She evidently left with him willingly. But was it really willingly, or was she being threatened again?Thinking of the constant threats Bianca faced from that man, Natalie felt even more suffocated!-When Zane returned to Entes Manor, Malcolm had already left with his people, leaving behind a scene of chaos. Because of Bianca, Natalie also left Entes Manor.Neil said, "Lord Malcolm came prepared today."Indeed, Malcol
Malcolm lit a cigarette and said, "You don't have a choice."Bianca's heart pounded as she looked at Malcolm. Everything felt like it was spinning around her. In the end, Malcolm took Bianca back to Verde City against her wishes.What did Verde City mean to Bianca?All of her past struggles and triumphs were here. But now, returning felt strange and unfamiliar.As they got off the plane, Bianca finally broke her silence. "Is she still in Simeria?"Malcolm's response was the same as always. "Forget about her."Bianca smirked coldly. "Is she your enemy?" She was sharp and perceptive, and she had been pondering many things throughout the journey. Both Malcolm and Zane seemed to be avoiding this person. Why?"Is she also Zane's enemy?"The moment she mentioned Zane, Malcolm's breath seemed to hitch. His gaze sharpened as he looked at her."Let me think... Who in Simeria is against both of you?" Bianca pressed.Malcolm replied, "We have had many enemies over the years. Don't
As Natalie finished speaking, Eleanor's expression changed. Seraphine, who was beside her, also reacted with surprise when she processed Natalie's words.Eleanor instantly paled, and she looked at Natalie with shock.After a brief moment of silence, Eleanor asked, "What do you know?" Her voice trembled slightly, and tension filled the air.Seraphine nervously looked at Natalie, waiting for her response. Natalie placed the document Austin had given her on the coffee table and pushed it towards Eleanor. "Why don't you take a look?""What...""It's something you've always been looking for!" Natalie said, pushing the envelope toward Eleanor again. Eleanor hesitated momentarily, then grabbed the envelope from Natalie's hand and anxiously opened it. Her hands trembled as she pulled out the documents inside.For years, Eleanor had been waiting and searching tirelessly for information about her missing child, but to no avail. Now, as she flipped through page after page, her world
So much had happened between them without them even realizing it."Why didn't I recognize her?!" Eleanor was on the verge of breaking down in that moment.Just thinking about all the things she had done to Bianca before made her hate herself!She had spent so many years searching for that child, pouring her heart and soul into it, only to find out the person was right in front of her eyes all along.But...!"I'm worthless. I couldn't even recognize my own child. How could I not know her?"And Eleanor had done so many hurtful things to her before. She had even looked at her with disdain!Bianca must hate her now, right?The thought of Bianca hating her made Eleanor feel even more suffocated.-Malcolm and Zane had been cautious regarding Bianca's mother. However, they never expected Natalie to find out.Malcolm taking Bianca to Verde City was also to keep Bianca from knowing!And they couldn't let the arrogant Holly family continue to exist in Simeria, so the scene that foll
