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

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

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

Bianca furrowed her brow.The next moment, Natalie asked, "Do you know what kind of person Curtis really is?"When Bianca heard that name, a chill flashed in her eyes.Without waiting for Natalie to continue, Bianca spoke up first, "Nat, no matter what happens, I've got your back."Whether it was what happened with Isabella, the things relating to Kayla, or whatever else happened in the past, Bianca had always stood by Natalie.So, she now hoped that Natalie would stand by her, no matter what happened.Natalie had actually wanted to say something else, but upon hearing her friend’s words, she instead said, "I know you've always had my best interests at heart. You’ve always supported every decision I've made.""So, will you do the same for me?" Bianca asked.On the other end of the phone, Natalie frowned, worry flashing in her eyes.Finally, she said, "Curtis is different from Eleanor. Many of the issues in the Holly family stem from problems left behind by Eleanor."Curtis an

At first glance, there seemed to be no connection between Malcolm and Cedric, but they each had their own agenda regarding Simeria! And considering how cunning these two were...Suddenly, Bianca asked a question that could be triggering for Natalie, "Do you remember Irwin?"Irwin...!He had been Natalie's savior during her darkest times with Cedric, shielding her from all disasters. Yet, who would have thought that even Isabella had been part of Irwin's schemes?Clyde’s tone turned more serious as he asked, "So, you think Cedric might be like Irwin too?!""Not just Cedric. None of them can be trusted," Bianca replied.None of them? This was Bianca's current perception of everyone.She found it hard to truly trust anyone. She had already been naturally sensitive due to her profession. Adding that to everything she had been through in Simeria, she now harbored absolute suspicion towards everything and everyone."Cedric now aims to ruin Natalie!"That was his sole purpose, en
