"Get out!" Bianca exclaimed in an icy tone without even looking at Malcolm. It was as if everything Malcolm said just now was unrelated to her.Her indifference made Malcolm feel annoyed instantly.In all his years in Simeria, everyone treated him respectfully! All women fell at his feet and clamored to marry him.Yet, this woman was actually acting this way!"Bianca!" Malcolm's tone was stern. It was clear that his patience was limited.If Bianca continued like this, he would eventually...!Bianca finally looked up after she heard the hint of loss of control in Malcolm's tone. She frowned, and her eyes had a cold, distant look. There was a thick air of aloofness and wariness around her.This was how people typically acted towards strangers.It was as if Malcolm's feelings towards her now didn't matter. Regardless of whether he loved or hated her, she would act as if she didn't know him at all!Malcolm saw that Bianca wouldn't budge an inch, so he had no choice but to force
Half an hour later, Malcolm appeared at Bianca's residence. The mountain was snowed in today, and it would have taken several days to clear the way. But Horatio knew Malcolm wouldn't rest until he saw Bianca today, so he quickly contacted the relevant authorities to clear the snow.This time, Bianca didn't dare to be careless. She obediently took her medicine. After all, she truly disliked places like hospitals.Nancy was also there."I was so worried. I thought taking the medicine would make you feel better," Nancy said in a somewhat self-blaming manner as she looked at Bianca. She felt she should have taken care of Bianca that day.Bianca shook her head. "I'm much better now, thanks.""What would you like for lunch? I'll cook for you!" Nancy said enthusiastically. After all, Bianca played such a significant role in her life now, so she wanted to do something for her.However, Bianca wasn't accustomed to the local taste here, and she knew the locals made dishes according to
She was too cold!Back when Malcolm forced her to stay by his side for revenge, he had only witnessed Bianca's cold arrogance. But now, her coldness was chilling to the bone!"Bianca!" Malcolm's voice grew sterner when he spoke again.The next moment, Bianca forcefully pulled her hand out of the man's grip. Her eyes were calm, devoid of any emotion or warmth.Malcolm was speechless.He wanted to say something about her current attitude, but faced with her icy calmness, he swallowed all the words on his tongue!She was truly too cold.Bang!The door slammed shut in Malcolm's face, as if Bianca were separating two worlds.Horatio stood not far behind, watching everything unfold. He felt a cold chill in his heart that was as cold as the snow. Snowflakes fluttered down, landing on Malcolm's head and shoulders. The relationship between him and Bianca seemed to be permanently frozen, with no way out in sight.Horatio approached, looking nervously at Malcolm. "Lord Malcolm." And
Three days ago, Bianca received a response that the case was accepted. The court date was set for half a month later. So, during this week, Bianca spent almost all her time at home studying the local marriage laws.Malcolm would often visit Bianca during this period. However, Bianca either refused to open the door or maintained a cold and distant attitude towards him whenever they met. Her behavior made it impossible for Malcolm to approach her.In that week, Malcolm came five times. However, he couldn't say a single word to Bianca.And then, Malcolm didn't come for the next three days.Bianca thought the man had finally stopped bothering her, but he ended up appearing in Bianca's life in another way.Nancy hurriedly looked for Bianca. "He really found a lawyer!"Right now, Nancy was almost in tears as she looked at Bianca.Bianca frowned. "It's okay." Even if he found one, it didn't matter.But then Nancy told Bianca about the man's alma mater and the awards he received whil
The man wasn't just crazy. He was also seriously sick. Bianca seemed to see through it all, unlike Natalie's frustrated state. "He was already quite sick." Even without this incident, Bianca wasn't sure what would come next. So now, with Malcolm appearing in her life like this, she was surprised but quickly regained her clarity.Natalie knew that when Bianca was in Verde City, she carefully selected every lawsuit she took on. She wouldn't touch cases without merit, like simple disagreements between couples or in-law conflicts. Only the complex and serious ones got her attention. So, every lawsuit she handled was crucial to her. The one she was currently dealing with was undoubtedly important too. Who would've thought that this matter would turn out like this?"You're right. Malcolm is indeed quite sick!" Even if Malcolm wanted to interact with Bianca, he shouldn't have done it this way. What was this now? Had he done this just to spend a few more minutes with Bianca?!
The next day, Nancy woke up early to make breakfast for Bianca. The milk tasted sweeter than usual, showing how even a single person could make bland milk taste so good.She really enjoyed it!As Bianca savored the food, she said, "Nancy, you have great cooking skills. It's a pity you don't have your own restaurant."If she were a man, having such a diligent girl like Nancy would truly be a stroke of luck for the family for generations to come.Nancy replied confidently, "I'll have my own restaurant someday."Bianca's words boosted Nancy's spirits even more.It felt like the path ahead was bright and clear!But thinking about their troubles now, Bianca couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Nancy, who was kind and hardworking.Ever since leaving Simeria, Bianca swore she never wanted anything to do with the people from that place for the rest of her life. And she absolutely refused to bow down to any man from the Entes family.But now, she had seen Nancy's aspirations for the
For a long time, the shock in Bianca's heart grew increasingly stronger. The glint in her eyes was like blades, and they seemed ready to tear Malcolm apart.Malcolm remarked, "Looks like this lawsuit isn't going to end so easily."As long as this lawsuit continued, things between him and Bianca wouldn't end either.Listening to his strong and domineering words, Bianca felt her rationality slipping away. She stared at Malcolm."Do you know what your recklessness means to others?" What did it mean to Nancy?"That's none of my concern," Malcolm replied, showing no regard for those people.Bianca remained silent.None of his concern? That was how Malcolm was. He always acted recklessly, regardless of the other person's identity or what they meant to someone else. If he wanted to, he could destroy them in an instant.That was Malcolm Entes, the terrifying presence that made everyone in Simeria tremble with fear.Bianca took a deep breath, unable to suppress the weight in her ch
"That's a ridiculous request, isn't it?" Bianca said."It's beyond ridiculous!" This wasn't just ridiculous; it was absurd! What could Natalie possibly say about Malcolm now? Her head was starting to ache just thinking about it. "So, are you just going to let him keep bothering you like this?"Now Natalie realized there was no hope to be had with Malcolm. Despite leaving everything behind in Simeria, she had hoped he would change for the better and look for Bianca. However, the current situation only made Bianca more and more disgusted. As far as Natalie could see, there was probably no hope for these two.Bianca said, "I'll leave once Nancy's lawsuit is over."When she heard Malcolm had arrived in Weiss Town, she instinctively wanted to run. After some internal struggle, she thought there was no need for her to flee. But now, he was interfering with her work, and Bianca truly detested such a person. So, if she couldn't stand up to him, she would just leave on her own ter
Bianca was still pondering how to reject Malcolm. Undoubtedly, even when she sought him out a week ago and proposed they get married, she hadn't truly wanted to marry him. As she contemplated things now, she even anticipated how crazed Malcolm might become when she presented her decision.Her phone buzzed with a call from Malcolm. In the past, Bianca would have ignored it outright, but now... she wasn't one to burn bridges."Hello?""I'll be there in ten minutes. Come down.""It's quite late."Just like before, whenever this man wanted to talk to her, especially about meeting up, she couldn't muster a pleasant expression.The man on the other end of the line simply stated, "I want to see you."Bianca’s heart clenched at those words. She was accustomed to Malcolm's cold, domineering demeanor. Even when he desired a woman, he maintained that haughty attitude. So, hearing such tender words from him was beyond her expectations."Hmph.""Come down, okay? I have a surprise for you."
As Zane reached halfway up the hill, he noticed a familiar car parked outside. Neil, the butler, was waiting outside, and upon seeing Zane return, he approached respectfully."Lord Zane.""Who's here?" Zane frowned, glancing at the brightly lit villa.What was going on? Usually, this place was dim in the evenings, but today, everything was unexpectedly bright."Ms. Stewart has returned," Neil replied.Zane's mind went blank for a moment. He stared stiffly at the butler, his pupils rapidly constricting."Ms. Stewart arrived this afternoon."Yvette!The familiar name flashed through Zane's mind like a gust of wind. How many times had he wanted to hold onto her? But in the end, for various reasons, he had to let her go bit by bit.And now, Yvette was back!Where had she been all this time?Since leaving Simeria, it was like she was a bird that had escaped its cage and soared into the sky, never to return. Zane had asked the Stewart family about her once, but even they didn't kn
"Maybe something happened," said Bianca.Natalie felt her eyelids twitch in response. What kind of terrifying situation was this?"When I say 'something happened,' I don't mean anything bad, but..."But what?In that moment, Bianca's gaze toward Natalie deepened, and she understood what her friend meant."You mean...?" asked Natalie.Bianca nodded silently.Natalie fell quiet as she pondered the situation.What if that was really the case?Natalie couldn't help but admit that if it truly was, it would naturally be a favorable outcome for her."Don't forget, if he can come, he can also leave. He can't change anything here, so it's better for him to return to the world he belongs to," Bianca explained.During this time, Natalie had transformed Simeria into a fortress. But even in such circumstances, Cedric had mysteriously vanished. Up until now, there hadn't been any clues. Even Kyle had been through so much, yet hadn't uttered any useful information.So, it had to be said t
Bianca’s calmness and composure, despite her young age, spoke volumes about how her experiences and wisdom had shaped her thoughts.Curtis, initially worried about her, felt somewhat relieved seeing the tranquility and maturity in his daughter’s eyes.He nodded slowly. "Hmm."In the end, he agreed.After all, she was his daughter. Despite not being raised by him since childhood, Curtis could see it clearly. Like her mother, Bianca would stick to her decisions, impervious to outside interference.Seeing Curtis finally eating, Bianca felt a sense of relief. After lunch, she considerately accompanied her father for a stroll before allowing him to rest.When Carol emerged from Curtis' room, she saw Bianca waiting nearby and hurried over respectfully."Miss.""How is he?" Bianca inquired."Sir is still worried about you, miss," Carol replied sincerely.Having been by Curtis' side for many years, Carol naturally understood Bianca's significance in his heart.Bianca sighed. "It wil
As she spoke, Seraphine felt the already dangerous aura around the man grow even darker, sending her heart racing. She tried to speak, but found herself speechless."Hmph, you useless thing!" Zane cursed menacingly.Cold sweat soaked Seraphine's back completely."There must be a way," she choked out, her tone tense.At that moment, Seraphine recalled what Zane had said to her before she came back to Simeria.He had told her that he never kept useless individuals around him. To gain his protection, one had to be useful. And now, Seraphine's only use—her engagement to Malcolm—had been effortlessly annulled."Heh," Zane sneered disdainfully.For Seraphine, this disdain was not only humiliating, but also starkly different from her experiences with Eleanor. In Eleanor's presence, she had never faced such disrespect. But now, it seemed like anyone could trample on her.In the past, even members of the Entes family wouldn't openly show contempt towards her, but now… Those past comfort
Seraphine had always harbored resentment towards Bianca. But Bianca had always been a rather composed individual, rarely resorting to such actions.So, what was she doing now?"You..." Seraphine's initial fury had been turned to speechlessness by Bianca's aggression.When Seraphine glanced at Bianca, she caught a glimpse of malice in the other woman's eyes.Before Seraphine could utter a word, Bianca bluntly asked, "You know, don't you?"Seraphine stayed silent.Know what?"You knew that Lord Malcolm and Lord Zane are half brothers You also knew why Lord Zane sought you out and took your side, right?" Bianca continued.Seraphine's face drained of color in an instant. And every subtle change in her expression was noticed by Bianca, whose eyes were filled with icy mockery.Stepping forward, Bianca gripped Seraphine's delicate chin. Seraphine instinctively tried to evade, but Bianca's hold was firm."You still dare claim this is your home?" Bianca scoffed."This has always been
When would the cycle of revenge end?While Bianca hadn't decided what to do about Eleanor's actions, Zane had already shown his claws.When would it end?If someone kept chasing after a person, what could they do?"Bia…"Curtis wanted to say something to his daughter, but was met with her unwavering gaze. Clearly, she wouldn't back down this time, just like her mother never did when faced with such situations. Both women faced things head-on, without flinching."Don't worry, okay?" Bianca reassured Curtis.There was another reason she was insisting on staying in Simeria—Bianca knew Curtis wouldn't leave with her. So, she wouldn't leave either.-Bianca and Curtis talked for a long time.Curtis still wanted to send her abroad, but her resolute attitude left him powerless. Moreover, from various pieces of information gathered earlier, it was clear that Bianca was a strong-willed child.No matter what problems she faced, she had her own opinions. So, asking her to leave was s
When Bianca returned to the Holly family’s residence, she found Curtis staring gravely at some documents. When he started coughing violently, his face turning as pale as a sheet, Carol hurried over to check on him."Sir, let Ms. Bianca handle these documents. Please don't strain yourself," Carol said, her tone full of concern."I see now," Curtis muttered heavily, as if he had just realized something crucial.Not understanding what he meant, Carol simply urged, "Your health can't handle this strain. Don't tire yourself out. You must trust Ms. Bianca."Curtis fell silent.Trust?He had always trusted Bianca, but now he regretted bringing her back. If he had never found her, would things be different now?"Where did she go?" Curtis asked."Ms. Bianca went out, but she'll be back soon," Carol reassured him, gently taking the documents from his hands.Ever since Bianca told the older woman about Curtis' health problems, Carol had been extra vigilant, making sure he avoided anythin
Bianca stared at the dangerous man, memories of their harmonious past flashing through her mind. Those moments had once seemed so genuine, yet now felt laughably absurd."Haha, how ridiculous!" Bianca scoffed, her laughter bitter."Bianca!" Zane's voice was sharp, cutting through her mirth."Zane, what if I reveal your true intentions to everyone? What will they think then?""Who would believe you?" Zane interrupted coldly, not letting her finish.Bianca's smile froze on her lips. He was right.Who would believe her? Curtis might, and so would Natalie. But was their trust enough?Clearly, it wasn't.But did it matter?"It's not your concern who believes me. I have never needed anyone's belief to stand strong," said Bianca.Many had doubted her before, but none had ever managed to break her spirit. The dangers she faced now might be greater, but for Bianca, they were just another set of challenges.She had overcome every hardship she encountered. This time would be no differe
