Bianca was truly infuriated. Dealing with Malcolm and Zane's entanglements had already pushed her to the brink, and now Cedric appeared.Her emotions were spiraling out of control.After talking with Natalie for a while, Bianca finally hung up the phone. Before hanging up, she fervently advised Natalie not to agree to Cedric's demands. She repeatedly told Natalie not to come here or stay by Kayla's side. After all, to Cedric, it seemed like just a half-month of companionship!But this half-month could be fatal for Natalie. What was Simeria like now? How many people were watching her every move? Cedric seemed oblivious to this influence, but Bianca was acutely aware.Or perhaps... Cedric was hoping Natalie's reputation would be ruined in Simeria, giving him a chance to climb back up. And once he had that chance, he'd try to get Natalie back and maybe even get her to take care of Kayla together with him! The more she thought about it, the angrier Bianca became!-After givi
After comforting Nancy, Bianca still felt uneasy leaving the hospital. She stayed until Seth came to bring her some food. Bianca looked at the familiar dishes, obviously made by Zane, but the long journey had altered their appearance.Bianca ate calmly, while Seth seemed hesitant to speak.Bianca asked suddenly, "Do you know Cedric?"Her question caught Seth off guard for a moment before he nodded. "I do.""Can you stay close to Nancy and watch over her?""What do you mean?""I want you to be extra careful around Cedric and his people.""Got it!" Seth understood. Cedric was not a good presence for Bianca. It made sense, given that Bianca was Natalie's best friend and Cedric was Natalie's ex-husband. It wouldn't bode well no matter where they met.Once Bianca entrusted Nancy to Seth, she finally felt comfortable enough to return to the village to meet Zane. But as she stepped out of the hospital room, she came bumped into Cedric and Kyle. It seemed that when one wanted to av
Natalie entered the adjacent room, ensuring Luna wouldn't be affected by her volatile temper before answering the phone. "Hello."Her tone was steady for now!On the other end of the line, the person's breath seemed to waver upon hearing her voice.A few seconds later, Cedric spoke with a suppressed tone, "Has Bianca told you about her yet?"Hearing Natalie's voice again, Cedric felt like centuries had passed since they last spoke!No one knew how he had been surviving during this time, or how much regret he harbored. He feared hearing any news about Natalie, even if it was good. That was because the happiness she had wasn't something he had given her. It hurt! Because he didn't know when that happiness would end or how long it would last. He consistently feared Natalie would be hurt. Because that happiness wasn't something he had given her, he constantly doubted when Austin would hurt Natalie."Tell me what?" Her tone now carried a hint of sarcasm. Even though they weren't f
During Cedric's time in Simeria, things between them were constantly tumultuous because of Kayla. Kayla's health was poor, and she spent all her time in the hospital. Cedric had also attempted to use Luna to save Kayla.With that happening, how could Natalie's days be peaceful? Thinking back to that chaotic period, Natalie's heart grew colder and harder.-Meanwhile, Cedric stood in the cold wind, unable to come to his senses for a long time. Bianca came out with something in her hand, and as she passed by Cedric, she couldn't resist mocking him. "Why don't you live and die with her? Haha!" Bianca, for once, laughed heartily as she got into her car, although her situation wasn't much better now.Cedric watched Bianca get into the car, his eyes flashing with a mix of frustration and helplessness.Kyle appeared behind Cedric, looking in the direction Bianca left. "Ms. Sanders still doesn't want to help?"Obviously, Kyle didn't know what Cedric and Bianca had just discussed. B
But Bianca just didn't understand.Sometimes, feelings for someone could come so suddenly and inexplicably.Bianca had always been a competent and clean-cut girl during their time in Verde City. Zane had seen videos of her arguing in court. She wore a black uniform and spoke sharply. He never knew that such a proud woman would end up with such despair in her eyes. That day, she stood in front of his car and said to him, "I'll marry you and give you what you want."What did Zane want back then? His thoughts were always well hidden. And Bianca, by Malcolm's side, seemed to have been suppressed and knew nothing. In fact, her heart was cold. Yet, her mind had always been clear. While she was by Malcolm's side, she had done enough analysis of every member of the Entes family. How could anyone from that family be simple?So, she found the person she was most familiar with, Zane, and made a deal. But she would never know that the scene of her standing outside the car window woul
Zane agreed.So, Bianca would seem to have an easier time because of it. But what she didn't expect was that this ending didn't bring Nancy's freedom. Malcolm's demands got even more outrageous!When Bianca slammed her divorce papers with Zane in front of him… "Can you let me win now?"The word felt suffocating to Bianca at this moment because her victories never came from compromise. But Malcolm had pushed her to the limit.He looked at her with hidden endurance, but her compromise didn't make him feel relieved. He picked up the papers and looked at them. It was real! She and Zane were truly done."Is he really willing to let go?" Someone who had abandoned everything in Simeria now actually let go?"At least in this regard, he's not as shameless as you!""He's kind, the kind of kindness men dread." His sharp gaze made Bianca instinctively look away. He could say whatever he wanted. As for what he thought and understood, Bianca wasn't interested.But Malcolm wasn'
Seeing Bianca so resolute, Natalie couldn't find the words to say anything more at this moment. She just sighed. Guilt. Natalie never knew this word could feel so heavy until now when Bianca uttered them. She couldn't help but marvel at Bianca's clarity. Bianca always seemed to be clear-headed, perhaps due to her many past experiences. Having mediated through so many emotional entanglements, she had seen and understood too much! Bianca could almost instantly discern a man's true emotions. Why wouldn't Malcolm and Zane be her choice? It was simply because she saw through them too well. One was guilt, the other possessiveness and nothing more!In such circumstances, why would she choose either?"Be careful then."After numerous twists and turns, Natalie cautioned Bianca. After all, Malcolm wasn't someone to be trifled with! He wouldn't just let things end because Bianca said so."Don't worry, okay? I'm hanging up now.""Okay."The two hung up.Bianca understood Natal
Bianca stayed by Nancy's side for what felt like forever. She gazed at Nancy as if wanting to etch her image deep into her memory. This time with Nancy made Bianca's path ahead clearer. She understood better what compromises she could make, what she couldn't, what she truly wanted, and what she didn't.In the end, Zane came and forcibly took her away, and Bianca... fainted in the man's arms.When Malcolm arrived, he saw Zane carrying the unconscious Bianca out of the hospital. "Put her down!" At that moment, Malcolm's tone was chilly and dangerous.Seth, who was behind Zane, instantly tensed up upon hearing Malcolm's voice. But upon hearing Malcolm, Zane had a glint of sharp coldness in his eyes. He ignored Malcolm and turned with Bianca in his arms.Malcolm instinctively moved to follow, but Seth blocked him and Horatio. "Lord Malcolm, please restrain yourself!"Restrain himself? Those words undoubtedly hit a nerve with Malcolm. He swung his fist directly at Seth.But Seth w
