The force behind Bianca's slap was heavy.In an instant, Seraphine's lips bore traces of blood as she looked at Bianca. Seraphine's gaze was as fierce as a savage beast, as if she wanted to tear her apart. Bianca's gaze towards her became even more dangerous at this moment.With a cold smirk, Seraphine said, "Hitting me won't change the fact! Don't you know? It was your mother who handled the adoption procedures back then.""...""So, I'm still the heiress of the Holly family!""...""And the rightful heiress here!" Seraphine said crazily.Bianca's gaze was already dangerous, and she looked at Seraphone with even more chilling danger now.Seraphine declared, "From now on, I won't step away from the Holly family!"She had nothing left.The only thing she could have now was the Holly family.Just as Seraphine was about to step inside, Bianca's voice turned cold, "I advise you not to go in.""Are you threatening me?""No. I'm stating a fact. If you step inside today, I'll t
Bianca smiled. "Give it a try and see if you like it." Actually, Bianca wasn't particularly skilled in cooking. However, during her time in Weiss Town, she gained some basic kitchen knowledge. So, this morning, she managed to cook smoothly and put in considerable effort."I like it!" Curtis exclaimed before even tasting it.He hadn't tasted it yet, but he already liked it. How could he not? It was his daughter's cooking, after all. Curtis... truly liked it!"Go ahead and try it first," Bianca suggested."Okay."Curtis had eaten a lot of things before this. But after trying Bianca's cooking, he had to admit that it was the best thing he had ever tasted. One's appetite depended on one's mood! When one was in a good mood, everything tasted delicious."What's wrong?" Bianca asked as she noticed Curtis' lowered gaze, with a hint of moisture in his eyes."I never thought I'd live to see this day," Curtis said without waiting for her response. "Your mother waited for this moment
After breakfast, Bianca felt lethargic throughout the morning. But by noon, she found herself in the kitchen.Carol noticed Bianca's downcast mood and said tenderly, "Let me handle this, Miss. You should rest.""It's okay, I can manage." What did this exhaustion matter? As long as the people around her were safe and sound, that was the greatest blessing she could ask for. But Bianca had lost too much. She seemed to have lost the courage to lose anymore.Seeing Bianca's determination, Carol didn't insist further, simply nodding in understanding. "Alright."Curtis seemed to be in good spirits that morning, eating more than usual, which was beneficial for his health. Despite her distracted state of mind, Bianca prepared his food with utmost care."Carol?""Yes?""What kind of person was she?"She was referring to Eleanor. Until now, Bianca couldn't utter her name.Carol was taken aback when Bianca brought her up, realizing that Bianca had never asked about Eleanor since retur
There was a major event in Simeria!Zane returned, but Cedric, whom Natalie had trapped, seemed to have vanished into thin air! Natalie's people had been searching for him in secret for days. They also closely watched Luna as they feared this man might go crazy and sneak out to take Luna away.Bianca's mind was fully occupied with taking care of Curtis, so she naturally knew nothing about what was happening. Bianca eventually appeared at the central cemetery in Simeria. She placed the flowers she was holding in front of Eleanor's tombstone. Then, she studied the gentle smile on the woman's face in the picture on the tombstone."Is this how you used to be?" Bianca whispered. Yes, this smile was Eleanor's true self. Back then, her smile came from the heart. But during Bianca's time in Simeria, she never saw Eleanor smile. All she saw was her sharp and dangerous side, which seemed to envelop everyone and make them tremble with fear!Zane appeared not far behind her, and Bianca f
Natalie was even more confused when she heard Bianca's words! Natalie knew that the situation was complicated and that Zane and Malcolm's return wasn't as straightforward as it seemed. But seeing Bianca's reaction now, she could clearly sense that there might be something behind it that she didn't know.Bianca got out of the car right after that, so Natalie didn't get a chance to say anything. She watched Bianca leave with a graceful yet obviously determined silhouette and eventually decided not to follow her out of the car. If Bianca had wanted to tell her anything, she would have done so on the way.Turning the car around, Natalie went back home. When she arrived, Austin looked like he was about to leave.Natalie quickly called out, "Honey!""Where were you just now?" Seeing Natalie, Austin opened his arms. Clearly, he went looking for Natalie after he had finished talking to Bianca but couldn't find her."Did Bianca say something to you?" Natalie asked directly as soon as t
Eleanor's ruthlessness and that venomous look of hers caused even someone as resilient as Bianca to feel intimidated when they saw it. She had done so many wrongs to her own daughter, and yet who would have thought that all of this stemmed from the Entes family?"For Zane and Malcolm to return to Simeria now... Is it because they're planning something?" Natalie finally voiced her thoughts.Since these two kept coming and going, she had felt that something was off, and asking this question only confirmed her suspicions.Austin's eyes flickered with depth. "Whatever conspiracy or purpose there may be, they will soon leave Simeria." He gently rubbed Natalie's soft hair as he spoke.Upon hearing this answer, Natalie, who already sensed something fishy, now felt even more unsettled. Looking at Austin's expression, she couldn't help but worry."Cedric is missing."Everything happening now is getting weirder by the minute, and she really was worried about it all.Austin replied, "D
Up to now, it was unclear what these people were planning. Natalie's heart was tightening more and more."Nat.""Hasn't he hurt me enough?" When Natalie heard about the possibility that Cedric was colluding with Zane and Malcolm, her tone was filled with hatred. Natalie had now utterly destroyed Wexford. So whether it's Malcolm or Zane, there was absolutely no benefit to them to work with Cedric. But now Cedric has suddenly disappeared! There must be something they don't know behind it. And when Natalie said that, Bianca sighed."He's hurt you enough…!""Bia!""So, there are many people and things in this world that we shouldn't get involved with!" Once they got even a little involved, it wasn't easy to shake off later.Natalie already felt suffocated, and hearing Bianca say this made her feel like her world was about to collapse. Seeing Natalie's lifeless expression, Bianca pulled her hand—not exactly warmly. "But you should trust Lord Austin!" It didn't matter i
As Zane heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, indicating his agreement with Seth's words."You're right," Zane said. "Let's look into it."Obviously, even Zane wasn't entirely clear on the backstory. Perhaps it was because too much time had passed, or maybe there had always been some unresolved tensions between the Entes family and Simeria's prominent families, which seemed normal to Zane and the others. They had grown accustomed to such things over time. But for Bianca, things were probably not as simple.Seth nodded. "Yes, sir."Investigating was necessary.-Meanwhile, behind the curtains, Bianca watched as Zane's car drove away, her eyes gleaming with danger. In the past half-month, the Holly family had probably been the calmest people around, along with Bianca herself. Since Eleanor's passing, Curtis seemed to have let go of many things, and Bianca had been by his side during this time. He didn't ask for much more, as long as his daughter was with him.During dinner,
