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,
Bianca turned away. Clearly, she had no intention of going inside. "Let's go, Carol."Things had escalated to this point, and there was obviously no need to go inside anymore. Seraphine was someone easily manipulated. Whatever had turned her into what she was today, Bianca didn't see her as deserving of pity.Carol glanced at the closed door and narrowed her eyes.-In the car, Bianca pulled out her phone and dialed Zane's number. It was the first time she had called him since his return.He answered quickly, "Bia."His voice was gentle, but Bianca's eyes flashed with danger in the dim space."Let's meet," she said.Meet? Even when they had come knocking these past few days, they hadn't managed to see Bianca. Yet here she was, suggesting a meeting herself?"Where are you? I'll pick you up," Zane offered."No need. I'll come to you," Bianca replied, then hung up.Soon, the car arrived at Versant Villa. Zane was indeed there. Seeing her approach, his expression was gentle. B
After returning to the Holly family's residence, Bianca found that Curtis had already turned in for the night. However, she had a sleepless night and only managed to catch a few winks as dawn approached.Knowing about Curtis's health, Carol was particularly careful with his diet. So when Bianca woke up, she saw that Carol had prepared everything to be light."You know what to cook?" Bianca asked.This proficient arrangement showed that Carol was familiar with taking care of a patient.When Carol was asked this, she nodded and said, "Madam always preferred light meals before she passed on." So, making these meals was something Carol could handle.Bianca nodded, feeling somewhat relieved. But she still joined in. Curtis had been eating well during this time, and she couldn't bear to leave him alone.When did someone become so important in her life? Someone she couldn't let go of?That was right! Bianca now felt an irreplaceable bond with Curtis.At the breakfast table, Bianca
At the same time, Seth realized something else about Bianca's reaction last night."Could she have suddenly come to see you because of Ms. Holly?" Seth wondered.Despite Seraphine's critical importance to them, one couldn't ignore her knack for causing trouble. After all, she often ended up being more of a hindrance than a help. Though Eleanor had personally raised her, Seraphine's actions frequently betrayed a lack of forethought.Her reckless behavior had disrupted many plans, but her methods were clumsy and crude, failing to reflect Eleanor's refined training.Thinking back to the previous night, there was a flash of understanding in Zane's eyes."Yeah," he muttered.Clearly, Seraphine was more than capable of causing such trouble.Yet, Zane felt no anger. It was as if he had everything perfectly under control.-When Malcolm heard that Bianca was going to take control of the entire Holly family, his expression darkened.Recently, Bianca had grown quite close to Curtis, bu
