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
As Bianca watched the two figures wrestling in the snow, she felt numb.Both of them seemed to sense something and halted their actions, turning to look towards the doorway where Bianca stood with cold eyes.With that, their fight came to a complete stop. Malcolm pushed Zane aside and strode towards Bianca."Come back with me," he said, as if Bianca belonged to him.His words were so familiar and natural.But when he grabbed Bianca's hand… Slap! At that moment, it seemed like Bianca summoned all her strength to slap him hard, leaving him frozen in place.Bianca looked at Malcolm coldly. "Get lost!"One had spoken in a resolute manner, while the other brimmed with hatred and even hostility."Her death has nothing to do with me. I had nothing to do with it!" Malcolm asserted.He was a man who dared to take responsibility for his actions.But seeing Bianca's detachment and hostility, he... panicked!Shaking his head, he said to Bianca, "It's not my fault!"Seeing Malcolm l
Bianca was furious to the core.But Sandy interjected, "Anyone heading to Nancy's place now gets thrashed by that rascal. He's gone mad!"Back when Nancy was around, at least there wasn't this madness.But things had changed. The fury that Nancy left behind was now being vented out by that lunatic onto the folks in the village.How on earth had they tolerated such madness for so long?Before Bianca could even think it through, Sandy continued, "He's stirred up public outrage now. I just want you to help Nancy."Knowing Bianca was a good-hearted girl, nobody else would bother with Nancy's affairs now that she was gone, but Bianca would."Can you help her one last time?" Sandy's voice choked up.Clearly, Sandy was genuinely pained for Nancy.While she was alive, they all avoided Nancy because of John. They didn't dare to meddle in her affairs. But now that she was gone and John was acting outrageously, everyone in the village was furious.Bianca hesitated for a moment.Of cour
