Curtis seemed noticeably better because Bianca was coming back. When Carol took the medicine and water for him, she glanced at the servant who delivered the medicine and asked sternly, "No one touched it along the way, right?""Don't worry, Ms. Carol. I was the only one who touched it.""Alright."Hearing this, Carol felt somewhat relieved.Then the servant said, "Ms. Seraphine wanted to deliver the medicine herself, but I refused."Carol furrowed her brows at this. She glanced instinctively at Curtis, who didn't say anything. Then, Carol said, "You'll be working in the master's building for the next few days.""Yes, Ms. Carol."The servant, hearing this, also felt a bit relieved.After all, even though Curtis and Eleanor might not know about Seraphine's tricks behind the scenes, the servants were aware. And today's incident, though the servant spoke lightly of it, was indirectly informing Carol that she might face difficulties because of it. And Carol, in her own way, wa
Curtis set down the teapot in his hand and picked up the teacup in front of him. The aroma of tea always had a magical way of temporarily relaxing the mind. As he set it down, he looked at Malcolm with authority."Seraphine is the adopted daughter of the Holly family, and I've thought carefully about it these past few days. Since she's followed you, Lord Malcolm, at this critical moment, we, the Holly family, shouldn't hold her back from what she wants."At Curtis's words, Malcolm froze abruptly. His gaze at Curtis also tightened at this moment. Curtis continued, "This is also considered a marriage alliance between the Holly family and you, Lord Malcolm. In that case, we should make sure that it's grand enough. So, regarding the dowry, I'll provide the same share as a legitimate heiress would get.""Mr. Holly!" Malcolm's tone tightened instantly.Obviously, he didn't expect Curtis to be such a sly old fox. He knew Curtis was cunning before, but he didn't expect him to be this c
Clearly, there was some unwillingness in her heart. But in front of Curtis, what could she say? What could she say when Curtis tightly controlled every step?"Pack your things. I'll have the driver send you over later," Curtis said, rubbing his sore temples with fatigue evident in his voice.Seraphine stiffened at this. She had been waiting for this day for a long time. But when it finally arrived, she still couldn't believe it!"Father." Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.But Curtis wouldn't indulge in sentimentalities. He only spoke sternly and coldly, "I'm tired.""Okay. I'll prepare right away." Even though there wouldn't be a wedding, being sent to Malcolm's side like this left a bitter taste in her mouth. But she knew that this day had been hard-won, so the formalities didn't matter much to her now.As Seraphine rose to leave, Curtis spoke seriously, "Remember, from now on, your surname will be Entes. You're part of the Entes family. Everything must revolve around the
Luna! As soon as Cole heard the name, his expression darkened, and Natalie and Austin instantly confirmed their suspicions.Something had happened to Luna."Speak!" The word was icy.Cole replied, "We received news that Miss Luna is missing. Mr. Johnson's people are searching everywhere."Natalie and Austin exchanged a glance. Natalie's face had turned pale, and her vision blurred."Luna..." Natalie took a deep breath, feeling like she had lost her hearing. The impact Luna's disappearance had on her was indescribable.Austin stepped forward and embraced her. "Nat, listen to me.""Who could have taken Luna from Cedric at a time like this?" Natalie thought about the unknown possibilities, trembling uncontrollably.Seeing Natalie like this, Austin felt heartbroken. The news hit them like a ton of bricks, leaving them directionless.What did Luna's disappearance mean for them?"We must find Luna." Natalie's chest ached terribly. "We must find Luna, we must..." Natalie repea
When this thought struck, Seraphine's face turned completely sour, and Percival descended while giving Seraphine a disapproving look. He spoke tightly, "Ms. Holly, this way, please.""Where am I staying?""In the guest room on the side of the annex."As if the guest room wasn't enough, it had to be on the side of the annex?!Seraphine's expression worsened at this moment. This was undoubtedly the biggest insult for someone who grew up in the Holly family.Malcolm!"I'll go see Lord Malcolm first," Seraphine said as she got up, about to head upstairs.But the next moment, Percival stopped her. "Ms. Holly, it's not a good time to see Lord Malcolm now."Percival's tone was uneasy. Considering Malcolm's reaction to Seraphine's name just now, it was evident that the situation was puzzling!At least the rumors of these past few days were definitely not like this.With her already sour expression, Seraphine couldn't contain her anger as she looked at Percival, who stubbornly stood
No one bothered to set utensils for Seraphine, but Seraphine didn't care. She grabbed Malcolm's and used them without hesitation. The audacity of her actions sent shivers down everyone's spine.Malcolm's eyes darkened at Seraphine's behavior. "Get her utensils," he ordered.Before Seraphine could use his utensils, he slapped them to the ground.The sound of utensils clattering echoed around her feet, and she felt the scratch on her leg. However, Seraphine remained unfazed.Raising an eyebrow at Malcolm, she stated, "I know you're upset, but back in Weiss Town, you tied me to you willingly!"The atmosphere in the entire dining room turned icy once again at her dangerous words.What did she mean? Was she implying that everything happening now was Malcolm's own doing?!Regardless of the circumstances back then, when Malcolm announced his engagement to Seraphine, no one forced him.Looking at the woman before him, Malcolm's eyes flickered dangerously. "So?"Feeling the danger
Natalie paused slightly, not turning back. Her silhouette seemed colder and more aloof than ever. When Cedric told her she couldn't do this, Natalie let out a cold laugh. "I can't?"How ironic.Turning back, Natalie's eyes were devoid of warmth, as if she had none at all. Her icy and deep gaze tightened people's hearts. "You, with your moral decay and corrupt mind, have the audacity to talk about what can't be done?""Nat!" Cedric felt suffocated as he watched her.But Natalie didn't wait for him to finish speaking. She coldly continued, "How many times did I say that you can't do it when you were doing those things?"Too many times!Every time they tangled up afterward, Natalie repeatedly told Cedric he couldn't! "But how did you respond?" Natalie sharply countered.Exactly!How did Cedric respond back then?He became more vicious and ruthless each time, eventually causing Natalie to lose everything to him, even her life...!Now, this life of hers was salvaged and earn
Ultimately, he was wrong.Why would Natalie ever return to his side out of guilt? She hated everyone around him—Isabella… and Kayla! Regardless of what Isabella did for Natalie in the past life or how Kayla viewed her and Luna like family, Natalie's hatred knew no bounds. Even if they were all dead, Natalie would still find it insufficient."Nat..." Cedric whispered Natalie's name, feeling a despair he'd never felt before.-Meanwhile, Malcolm wasn't having a good time either. Curtis's attitude had thwarted all his plans. Now, thanks to Curtis's manipulation, the whole of Simeria was buzzing with rumors about his impending marriage to Seraphine."It seems you have no choice but to marry me now," Seraphine said wryly when she saw the reports. Though she felt some resentment towards Curtis's ruthlessness, she couldn't deny that the level of public manipulation now was exactly what she wanted."As if you have a choice!" Malcolm replied dangerously.Seraphine stiffened. Then
