Luna! As soon as Cole heard the name, his expression darkened, and Natalie and Austin instantly confirmed their suspicions.Something had happened to Luna."Speak!" The word was icy.Cole replied, "We received news that Miss Luna is missing. Mr. Johnson's people are searching everywhere."Natalie and Austin exchanged a glance. Natalie's face had turned pale, and her vision blurred."Luna..." Natalie took a deep breath, feeling like she had lost her hearing. The impact Luna's disappearance had on her was indescribable.Austin stepped forward and embraced her. "Nat, listen to me.""Who could have taken Luna from Cedric at a time like this?" Natalie thought about the unknown possibilities, trembling uncontrollably.Seeing Natalie like this, Austin felt heartbroken. The news hit them like a ton of bricks, leaving them directionless.What did Luna's disappearance mean for them?"We must find Luna." Natalie's chest ached terribly. "We must find Luna, we must..." Natalie repea
When this thought struck, Seraphine's face turned completely sour, and Percival descended while giving Seraphine a disapproving look. He spoke tightly, "Ms. Holly, this way, please.""Where am I staying?""In the guest room on the side of the annex."As if the guest room wasn't enough, it had to be on the side of the annex?!Seraphine's expression worsened at this moment. This was undoubtedly the biggest insult for someone who grew up in the Holly family.Malcolm!"I'll go see Lord Malcolm first," Seraphine said as she got up, about to head upstairs.But the next moment, Percival stopped her. "Ms. Holly, it's not a good time to see Lord Malcolm now."Percival's tone was uneasy. Considering Malcolm's reaction to Seraphine's name just now, it was evident that the situation was puzzling!At least the rumors of these past few days were definitely not like this.With her already sour expression, Seraphine couldn't contain her anger as she looked at Percival, who stubbornly stood
No one bothered to set utensils for Seraphine, but Seraphine didn't care. She grabbed Malcolm's and used them without hesitation. The audacity of her actions sent shivers down everyone's spine.Malcolm's eyes darkened at Seraphine's behavior. "Get her utensils," he ordered.Before Seraphine could use his utensils, he slapped them to the ground.The sound of utensils clattering echoed around her feet, and she felt the scratch on her leg. However, Seraphine remained unfazed.Raising an eyebrow at Malcolm, she stated, "I know you're upset, but back in Weiss Town, you tied me to you willingly!"The atmosphere in the entire dining room turned icy once again at her dangerous words.What did she mean? Was she implying that everything happening now was Malcolm's own doing?!Regardless of the circumstances back then, when Malcolm announced his engagement to Seraphine, no one forced him.Looking at the woman before him, Malcolm's eyes flickered dangerously. "So?"Feeling the danger
Natalie paused slightly, not turning back. Her silhouette seemed colder and more aloof than ever. When Cedric told her she couldn't do this, Natalie let out a cold laugh. "I can't?"How ironic.Turning back, Natalie's eyes were devoid of warmth, as if she had none at all. Her icy and deep gaze tightened people's hearts. "You, with your moral decay and corrupt mind, have the audacity to talk about what can't be done?""Nat!" Cedric felt suffocated as he watched her.But Natalie didn't wait for him to finish speaking. She coldly continued, "How many times did I say that you can't do it when you were doing those things?"Too many times!Every time they tangled up afterward, Natalie repeatedly told Cedric he couldn't! "But how did you respond?" Natalie sharply countered.Exactly!How did Cedric respond back then?He became more vicious and ruthless each time, eventually causing Natalie to lose everything to him, even her life...!Now, this life of hers was salvaged and earn
Ultimately, he was wrong.Why would Natalie ever return to his side out of guilt? She hated everyone around him—Isabella… and Kayla! Regardless of what Isabella did for Natalie in the past life or how Kayla viewed her and Luna like family, Natalie's hatred knew no bounds. Even if they were all dead, Natalie would still find it insufficient."Nat..." Cedric whispered Natalie's name, feeling a despair he'd never felt before.-Meanwhile, Malcolm wasn't having a good time either. Curtis's attitude had thwarted all his plans. Now, thanks to Curtis's manipulation, the whole of Simeria was buzzing with rumors about his impending marriage to Seraphine."It seems you have no choice but to marry me now," Seraphine said wryly when she saw the reports. Though she felt some resentment towards Curtis's ruthlessness, she couldn't deny that the level of public manipulation now was exactly what she wanted."As if you have a choice!" Malcolm replied dangerously.Seraphine stiffened. Then
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
