Natalie Walker poured her heart and soul into loving Cedric Johnson for ten years, only to end up being burned to death by his lover.Cedric thought of that woman as nothing more than a housemaid. Even marriage wouldn't change her status. That was, until he received the news that she wanted a divorce..."Why do you want a divorce?" Cedric asked arrogantly, believing that this woman couldn't survive without him."Aren't you eager for me to die so you can be with your lover? I'm simply fulfilling your wish!" Natalie shot back as she laughed mockingly. "Cedric, I won't be blind again! Not in this lifetime!"Natalie, who had been reborn from the ashes, held the divorce papers and kicked the scumbag and his mistress to the curb.At a press conference for her company, the media asked, "We heard that you initiated the divorce. Could you tell us the reason?"Natalie responded calmly, "It was simply time to let go."That fire had consumed all her emotions.Looking back, it was nothing more than a long-planned trap set for her.
View MoreCurtis sat in the living room for a long time. Finally, he said, "Let's have Bia stay by his side for this month." The message from Malcolm also mentioned that for this month, Bianca needed personal supervision.Carol understood what Curtis meant and nodded. "Alright."At this moment, Curtis thought of his late wife, who was very much like Bianca during her youth. Girls and their mouths, sometimes...!-When Natalie found out that Bianca was entangled with Malcolm, she felt a headache coming on. "We shouldn't worry about this right now," Austin said to Natalie.Natalie retorted, "Simon called. He wants you to keep Bia safe.""But he's not harming her now."Natalie fell silent.True, nothing as serious as before had happened. However, the key issue was that Bianca simply didn't like Malcolm anymore. The more Natalie thought about it, the more her head felt like it would explode.Austin glanced at her. "What's wrong?""I'm just angry!"More than angry, she was furious. L
The Holly family? To Bianca, they weren't important. As she thought about it, she remembered Curtis with his white hair and the way he protected her. And then there was Simon's lawsuit, something she couldn't afford to mess up.She looked up and met Malcolm's gentle gaze.Gentle? She never knew he could be so soft. But after just a few days apart... He seemed different, even in the way he carried himself."What else can you do besides threatening people?" she asked."I want to be with you," Malcolm declared, cutting straight to the point.After all this time together, his intentions were clear. Despite whatever happened between them in the past, he wanted to be with her now.Bianca's heart raced. "I don't want to.""Well, it seems you don't have a say in the matter," he replied, each word firm and unwavering.Bianca had always felt that Malcolm was probably the most difficult member of the Entes family to communicate with. But now, she realized just how true that was. He only e
Bianca's Bentley cruised through the bustling heart of Simeria, only to come to an abrupt halt at a corner. Caught off guard, she nearly pitched forward. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would've collided with the front seat."What's going on?" Bianca asked.Probably because she had been in a car accident not long ago, she now had an unspeakable psychological fear of such a thing happening again."Sorry, Miss, i-it's..." the driver stammered as he looked at the person getting out of the car ahead.Bianca's eyes darkened. Following the driver's gaze, she saw Malcolm stepping out of the car, oozing hostility.Opening her own car door, Bianca's icy gaze met his. "Are you crazy?""What are you doing? Who said you could go out? Is this how the Holly family takes care of you?" Malcolm scolded.Bianca rolled her eyes. She wanted nothing to do with him."I'm running late. Please move aside."But before she could react, Malcolm swooped in and lifted her out of the car.Bianca's mind
When Malcolm was mentioned, Crystal's expression soured. "Lord Malcolm intends to send Ms. Seraphine abroad, but she doesn’t want to go."So, it seemed that Seraphine was stalling. But everyone knew what kind of person Malcolm was. This delay wouldn't last long.Curtis sighed. "Then, let her go."Crystal's face paled. "Sir!"Sending Seraphine abroad? If she left now, it would mean losing everything she had in Simeria."Things gained through manipulation are never truly yours," Curtis said, his voice deep, cutting off Crystal before she could speak.Crystal's already troubled expression darkened further. What did he mean by "things gained through manipulation"?"Sir, Ms. Seraphine grew up in the Holly family. Before Ms. Bianca returned, she was your only daughter. What Lord Malcolm did this time is not just an insult to Ms. Seraphine. He humiliated the Holly family too!" Crystal said seriously.Seraphine’s earlier reaction made sense now. The Holly family seemed to really not ca
Carol glanced at Curtis in concern as she said, "The main issue is that Lord Malcolm's actions were too sudden."That man had always been straightforward when it came to handling matters. Whenever there was something he wanted to deal with, he never beat around the bush. Despite all the chaos lately, there hadn't been any movement from him. Everyone thought he had learned some restraint. But now, it was clear that he hadn't.He... was still the same person who couldn't be restrained by anyone if he didn't want to be."You handle it," Curtis told Carol, who nodded in response.She naturally understood what Curtis meant.Even if Malcolm's side couldn't tolerate Seraphine anymore, she absolutely couldn't return to the Holly family. If she had been a well-behaved girl, the Holly family wouldn't have rejected her. But based on what happened in Weiss Town, it was clear that Seraphine wasn’t obedient. Therefore, Curtis wouldn't allow her to come back now.-This dissolution of her enga
Natalie never used to entertain thoughts of revenge, be it against Cedric or Irwin. Revenge was just not in her nature.It would be nice if Cedric could be more like Irwin. Instead, he always seemed to drag Natalie into whatever mess he found himself in.Natalie was fed up. She had lost so much because of Cedric, and now... she just couldn't take it anymore."Nat, I'm really happy to see you like this!" Bianca couldn't hide her genuine joy.After all, seeing how her friend used to be so fragile, always afraid Cedric would snap and ruin everything for her, had been distressing for Bianca.This time, coming to Simeria with Malcolm, his motives were anything but pure."Malcolm is really angry," Natalie remarked.Speaking of Malcolm, Natalie couldn't help but recall the way he had come to her, wanting to keep his child. In truth, she had seen through his pretenses.That man... cared about Bianca.But perhaps due to her experiences with Cedric, that kind of care for someone was som
In no time, Bianca moved to another room, completely different from the one Eleanor had prepared. This room's decor suited her taste. As a lawyer, she preferred simplicity and tidiness over extravagance."Thank you," Bianca said, acknowledging Carol's efforts."Sir has always respected your wishes, Ms. Bianca. He's your father, and if you have any requests, feel free to tell him. He'll be happy to accommodate," Carol assured her.Bianca nodded in agreement as Carol left the room.Feeling exhausted after her surgery, Bianca quickly drifted into a drowsy state. But her phone buzzed persistently, interrupting her rest."Hello," she answered groggily, her voice heavy with sleepiness."Why aren't you at the hospital?" Malcolm's voice came through the phone, barely concealing his anger.Since the miscarriage, he had been on edge, as if Bianca had deliberately caused it. Bianca couldn't be bothered to engage with him and hung up without a word.As soon as she ended the call, her phone
In the VIP ward of Central Hospital, Bianca lay on the bed, her face slightly pale. Curtis and Malcolm stood by her side.Sensing Malcolm's chilling aura, Curtis glanced at him and said, "Lord Malcolm, you should head back."Malcolm remained silent, casting a glance at Curtis. No one knew how much he desired to tear apart the woman lying on the bed. The investigation had just concluded: the accident was caused by her driving while wearing high heels.That cursed woman had done it intentionally, hadn't she? Had she resorted to such an extreme measure just because she didn’t want to keep their child?Malcolm, who usually struggled to control his emotions, didn't say anything to Curtis this time. He just turned and left.As they exited the hospital, Horatio followed Malcolm with a hint of concern."Lord Malcolm...""She did it on purpose, didn't she?"Malcolm regretted not chasing after Bianca earlier. She knew he had control over all the hospitals in Simeria, so she had chosen to
It was clear now. Natalie had shown them what a gentle lamb looked like when forced to fight back. Irwin's aura was not pleasant."I told you not to interfere with Kayla's affairs," Irwin reminded Cedric.But had Cedric listened back then? Not a chance. He didn't listen to anything!Isabella's matter was a thorn in Natalie's side, and even Kayla's involvement felt like manipulation. How could Natalie accept that?Irwin had realized this afterward and refrained from getting involved in many things. But what caught him off guard was Cedric actually bringing Kayla along, despite Natalie's extreme aversion to her."You should go back," Cedric said to Irwin, unwilling to dwell on the past.He had witnessed Natalie's firmness during this time. If she said something, she meant it.Irwin remained silent as Cedric walked away. Looking at the familiar sights of Simeria, it felt like home to him because Natalie was here."Everything you did for her previously doesn't matter anymore," Irwi
