Meanwhile, Cedric sat on the sofa, exuding an aura of hostility. His stubble gave him a weathered look, adding a hint of danger.Bianca took a deep breath and asked, "Where's Luna?"Since her arrival, she felt that Cedric's presence had been unstable, obviously because Kayla was gone. It was at this moment that Bianca realized how serious Kayla's death was for him and Natalie.Cedric had always wanted to save Kayla. His obsession had almost reached a pathological level, and no one around him could understand it. But Cedric was like that, not only towards Kayla but also towards Natalie.With a harsh draw on his cigar, Cedric's face grew colder. "She sent you, didn't she?"Bianca fell silent.Of course, he was referring to Natalie.Before Bianca could speak, Cedric sneered, "Hmph, she's become so heartless!"Kayla was one thing, but now it was her daughter who was missing. How could Natalie remain so composed and fearless?Bianca sensed how strange Cedric was being. She had
On the other end of the phone, Natalie's breath caught. "You can go out now?" Earlier, when Bianca said she would meet Cedric, she also said Malcolm was keeping her in Snow Peak Manor. So Natalie was still under the impression that Bianca couldn't leave."If I want to leave, who can stop me?""Bia.""Nat, remember, those who are affectionate and righteous will always be the ones that can be trapped." Emotions were like a double-edged sword. While one possessed them, they could also become a weapon in someone else's hands. Bianca's words were filled with cold arrogance.At that moment, Natalie also understood Bianca's meaning. But then, with a touch of helplessness, she said, "I'm not like you."Those words were choked with emotion.True, she and Bianca were different."Yes, you care about your family and about Luna. It's different for you!" Bianca was helpless in this situation. There was nothing she could do for Natalie. To Natalie, her family was the most important p
In Bianca's world, who else but Malcolm was this capable, even able to restrict her freedom? If she thought that leaving Simeria meant that everything was over, she was completely wrong!From behind her came the sound of a man's cold and dangerous voice, "So, you really want to run!"Turning around, she saw a dangerous-looking man dressed in a black trench coat standing not too far away. He was staring at her like a beast eyeing its prey. Bianca, who practically didn’t care about anything anymore, had let go of everything just to get away from this man.And yet…Thinking about what the staff had just told her, Bianca was still furious. So now, she looked at Malcolm with anger-filled eyes."What do you want!?" she snapped.Malcolm strode forward speedily, making Bianca instinctively step back from the approaching danger. Even a few passersby were looking over at them, but with one glare from Malcolm, they quickly avoided him as if the man was the devil.Just as Bianca tried to ev
Malcolm stared at Bianca for a long time before finally looking away. He took a deep drag from his cigarette, exhaling smoke with a 'whoosh'. Bianca had never liked the acrid smell of smoke, but right now, she didn't find it unpleasant at all."You're a heartless woman!" Malcolm said.Bianca stayed silent. Heartless? He called her heartless? Heartless, huh?!"A heart?" Bianca laughed. "If that thing exists to only be used by people, it's better to not have it at all!"Malcolm remained silent as he flicked the cigarette butt away. It sailed through the air in a graceful arc before landing in the snow, extinguishing upon contact.With a deep gaze, Malcolm kept looking at Bianca.Lord Malcolm called her heartless? Oh, the irony. When she first met this man, Bianca had thought he didn't even have a heart."So, you think I'm powerless against you?" Bianca raised an eyebrow. "I've always been powerless in front of you!"It sounded redundant, but it was also the truth. Since arriv
Fight back? What did Bianca look like when she fought back? She was cool and cunning, but also deeply calculative. From everything that happened in Simeria, it was clear that once this woman decided to retaliate against you, you would never know what she was truly thinking or plotting.She would wait patiently, lurking in the shadows. But once she saw an opportunity, her counterattack would catch you completely off guard!Malcolm squatted down, grabbing Bianca’s water-soaked face. "You won't have this chance again.""Hmph," Bianca snorted. She started to laugh, her laughter tinged with iciness.The man released her and stood up, turning away."You're really naive!" said Bianca.Malcolm abruptly halted, turning back to look at her with danger in his eyes. But the fearless woman met his gaze head-on."I had an affair with Faye's husband. Do you know why I hate you so much?" Bianca asked mockingly.Why the hate? Bianca's life had once been very bitter, but no matter how painful
After Malcolm received a phone call, he hurriedly left, seemingly abandoning everything related to Simeria.However, Bianca could tell from the recent comings and goings at Snow Peak that those people's identities were anything but ordinary. Therefore, no one knew for sure what Malcolm was secretly plotting now.But Natalie's husband, Austin, wasn't someone to be taken lightly either. He had lurked in the shadows for so many years, and the depth of his network was unknown. But anyway, Bianca had never been interested in such matters.As she lay on the bed, contemplating calling Natalie, she heard the sound of the doorknob being turned. Thinking it was Malcolm returning, she was surprised to see Seraphine enter instead.Bianca's expression darkened. "Don't you know how to knock?""Do I need to be polite to you?" asked Seraphine, looking disdainfully at the other woman.A cold glint flashed in Bianca's eyes. Getting up from the bed, she approached Seraphine, wordlessly grabbing her
Bianca narrowed her eyes dangerously at Seraphine. "Move aside.""Bianca, there's no future between you and him. I've reached an agreement with my dad. I will marry him!"Dad? That was quite an affectionate term!Bianca chuckled at Seraphine's words. "Whatever."That one word, though spoken casually, was dripping with sarcasm, as if she couldn't care less.But Seraphine kept persisting, "If that's the case, then leave!"Seraphine seemed to be warning Bianca to not harbor any illusions about being with Malcolm.As Bianca walked past her, Seraphine's voice became urgent, "Dad doesn't have time for you right now."Without waiting for Bianca’s reply, Seraphine looked her straight in the eye and said each word deliberately, "Dad won't forgive you!"Bianca's reaction was like she had heard a joke. "He hates me?""Yes. When Mom died, you didn't even bother to go see her. Dad won't forgive you. He loved Mom so much," Seraphine said each word slowly.Bianca laughed, and what a mockin
Seeing how irritated Malcolm was, Bianca merely smirked coldly. Her mocking laughter grated on the man's nerves.With a bang, he slammed his utensils on the table, causing them to hit Seraphine’s cup of milk. The contents splashed onto her face, leaving her dripping wet and looking messy.Percival wanted to step in to help her clean up, but seeing Malcolm's demeanor, he hesitated. In the end, he simply allowed Seraphine to deal with the mess herself.Bianca just kept calmly eating without a word. Her composure was practically driving Malcolm insane.Setting down his juice, he stood up and declared, "I'm full."There was still no reaction from Bianca, as if she hadn't even noticed the man's anger. Seeing her like that made Malcolm’s head throb even more."Go pack her things!" he ordered Percival coldly, motioning for the servant to come forward.Percival quickly nodded. "Yes, sir!!"Meanwhile, Bianca stood still, her back trembling slightly.Turning around, she said, "I'm not g
