Carol understood Curtis's intentions. Malcolm wanted to settle things before Bianca's return, while Curtis aimed to ensure there would be no resolution between Malcolm and Seraphine."What about Miss...?" Carol voiced her concern.When Bianca was mentioned, Curtis's icy demeanor softened slightly. "Even though she hasn't been around for years, judging from past events, she doesn't like Lord Malcolm. If it's not to her liking, we'll clear everything up before her return."Carol nodded, hoping things would turn out well. "But Lord Malcolm doesn't seem like he'll give up easily," she added, expressing the most distressing aspect of the situation.Curtis understood Carol's implication. "Whether he's willing or not doesn't matter. If Bia doesn't like it, he won't have a chance to persist."In his tone lay an unprecedented coldness and dominance, reflecting his protective instincts toward his daughter."Miss is coming back tomorrow," Carol informed him."Okay," Curtis responded, f
They locked eyes.Cedric gazed at Natalie, her eyes filled with mockery and delight. It seemed like seeing Cedric in pain brought her immense pleasure!Cedric said, "I've let go of everything. Isn't that enough?"Finally, Cedric's words were tight and even painful as he spoke... Yes, things had come to this point. He had completely let go. So, he hoped Natalie would stop now and not let things deteriorate further.When Natalie heard his words, it was as if she heard a joke."Let go? You're not even worthy!"Once, when he had the chance to let go, he didn't go far. He wandered around her peaceful life. He insisted on getting involved in all this mess with Simeria. And now he talked about letting go?Cedric naturally hadn't expected Natalie to be so ruthless. She didn't even spare the dead!"Nat!""When it was time to let go, you didn't. Now... there's no chance!" Natalie looked at the man in front of her. Every word was sharp.Between them, it wasn't about letting go or no
"Bianca went straight to the RF Group's car and left," Horatio said urgently to the man on the phone.Silence fell.Even amidst the bustling airport, Horatio could feel the tension and danger emanating from the other end of the line.Bianca hadn't taken Horatio's car. Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Malcolm could probably imagine Bianca's arrogant demeanor."You come back first," Malcolm said from the other end of the line.Hearing this, Horatio breathed a sigh of relief. God knew how worried he was about not being able to explain this matter.What he didn't know was that his visit to the airport today was just to test Bianca's attitude. That woman was indeed icy."Yes,s ir." Horatio hung up the phone and quickly got into the car to head back.On Malcolm's end of the call, his eyes flashed with endless coldness.When Seraphine found out that Bianca had really returned today, a dangerous aura emanated from her."Miss, you need to relax." The voice came from Crysta
Just as Bianca hung up the phone, the doorbell rang incessantly.The female butler, Matilda, glanced at Bianca.Bianca nodded, and Matilda went to open the door. But the moment she opened it, Malcolm burst in like a gust of wind before Matilda could see clearly.His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at Bianca. "Why didn't you get into Horatio's car?" Malcolm asked through gritted teeth.But Bianca seemed as if she hadn't heard him at all. Instead, she looked towards the somewhat frightened butler, clearly unnerved.With a wave of her hand, she dismissed Matilda.Once they were alone, Bianca tossed the documents she was holding onto the coffee table, sat down, and took a sip of the coffee in front of her with an indifferent demeanor that could drive anyone crazy.Malcolm stepped forward, snatching the cup from her hand. Just as he was about to smash it on the ground, Bianca finally spoke up."Congratulations!" she said casually.Malcolm froze, his whole body stiffe
There seemed to be an invisible chasm between the two of them. No matter how hard Malcolm tried, or perhaps the harder he tried, the wider the gap became. The gap was so vast that they couldn't bridge it.And at this moment, it was obvious that the issues between them couldn't be resolved!Malcolm took a deep breath and said to Bianca, "Don't take this lawsuit. It's not as simple as you think."He was referring to the lawsuit involving RF Group and Simon. Malcolm had realized just how much Bianca cared about legal matters and integrity, especially after the Nancy incident. And now, the lawsuit she had taken on wasn't as straightforward as she perceived it. Malcolm didn't want her to get involved. Obviously, there were things in Simeria that she shouldn't be dragged into.However, when Bianca heard this, she looked at Malcolm sarcastically. "Has this affected some part of your plan again?""Bianca!"As the words fell, Malcolm's tone grew heavier, especially as he looked at Bia
When Bianca arrived at Natalie's place, she saw Natalie sitting on the couch holding Luna's clothes. Bianca approached and asked, "Have you found out Luna's whereabouts?"Natalie's face paled a bit at the sight of Bianca. "Bia!"Bianca squatted down and hugged Natalie. At that moment, she couldn't help but sigh at the unpredictability of life. Cedric should have been a thing of the past in Natalie's world, right? Then why hadn't he faded away?The truth was, anyone who had left their mark on one's life, whether physically or emotionally, couldn't be easily forgotten. Their influence could last a lifetime.Natalie spoke in anguish, "We initially confirmed Luna's presence in Verde City, but she disappeared before we could get there. Now, although we have a lead, we still don't know where she is!"Bianca closed her eyes. "Cedric is a lunatic. It's good that you can stay away from him."Cedric's crazed behavior, even to onlookers, seemed like a relentless pursuit to drive someone
Cedric reaching out to Bianca for help was like inviting trouble with open arms. But who else other than Bianca could sway Natalie's decisions?"Cedric, back when you were with Natalie, even if she had nothing, I felt like you were reaching beyond your station. Do you know why?" said Bianca, who didn't want to beat around the bush.From the moment she got to know Cedric, Bianca had discreetly investigated the Johnson family. Knowing the kind of household they were, she couldn't imagine their children turning out to be good people. And she had been right on the mark—Cedric wasn't a good person."Even though the Johnson family is wealthy, they're morally bankrupt beyond belief!" Bianca exclaimed.Despite the fact that sixty percent of Verde City's wealth rested in the hands of the Johnson family, Bianca could see through their facade. To her, wealth couldn't mask a person's lack of integrity.At Bianca's words, Cedric's demeanor grew menacing."You don't need to act all threatening
No matter how deeply Natalie and Cedric had once loved each other, or how sweet the moments they shared had been, they now stood completely at odds.When Bianca returned to her villa, she saw several Rolls-Royce Phantoms parked at her gate.Matilda approached Bianca as soon as she spotted her. "Miss.""Who's here?"Bianca handed her bag to Matilda, who respectfully took it and replied, "It's Mr. Holly."Bianca's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness.Since her return, she knew she couldn't avoid meeting with the Holly family, but hadn't expected it to happen so soon. Ever since her visit to Weiss Town, it was almost like she had selective amnesia about the Holly family.But now, Bianca suddenly remembered…The last time she had heard from the Holly family was when Eleanor was gravely ill. They had hoped Bianca would return to Simeria to bid her mother a final farewell. At that time, Bianca had naturally refused.And yet, now, less than twenty-four hours after her return to Sime
