Stephen and Heather were Natalie's parents. They knew just how much Natalie resented Cedric and
Irwin.
Yet nobody anticipated that Cedric would make such a choice at Natalie's most crucial moment.
Natalie, however, remained oblivious to it all!
She was still in Yuloria, unaware of what would happen if Edward's medicine proved ineffective.
She had no idea what scene awaited her next!
At this moment, everyone's hearts were tightening.
"Don't let Nat find out!" Heather thought for a moment before telling Stephen.
"You..."
Stephen started to speak, but Heather interrupted firmly, "This is what Cedric owes Nat! Whatever the
consequences, he should bear them."
Indeed, this was what Cedric owed Natalie. No matter the hardship, it was his burden to bear.
Though Heather spoke these words, her eyes betrayed a complexity and pain that was difficult to
decipher.
Honestly, the emotions between Natalie and Cedric...
Despite witnessing Natalie being utterly devastated by Cedric, seeing Cedric willingly descend into
darkness for her sake left everyone around Natalie feeling bitter. -
On the other hand, Bianca had also seen the relevant reports. Seeing Natalie and Irwin's marriage
certificate, she concluded almost confidently that Natalie was about to undergo surgery.
When Zane came in, he saw Bianca sigh and put down her phone.
Approaching her, he asked in a deep tone, "What's happened?"
Seeing Zane return, Bianca gently touched the adorable kitten in her arms and said, "Nat and Irwin got
married."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she spoke, she subtly scanned the man's face, which remained indifferent.
After a while, Zane frowned and said, "This might be for the best for her. It'll reduce a lot of trouble
when she returns to Simeria."
Bianca remained calm on the surface, but her heart stirred slightly.
"You shouldn't have come back," Zane said, his tone growing even deeper as he sat across from her.
Bianca felt a suffocating sensation at his words. In that instant, she smiled impeccably and replied,
"You forget that we're partners in this."
"You're well aware that you can't do anything in such a critical situation. Why involve yourself
unnecessarily?"
At this point, getting involved would only stoke Malcolm's fiery wrath.
Bianca knew this well. But she couldn't afford to think about that now.
Malcolm couldn't ascend to be head of the Entes family!
Absolutely not!
With determination in her heart and a sharp glint in her eyes, Bianca asked, "Where is Frederick now?"
Indeed!
She had returned because she had received news about Frederick.
Previously, everyone assumed that Frederick was in Cedric's hands. But for some reason, there was
now another rumor that Frederick was in Malcolm's hands!
This person was once so familiar to Bianca, and he had now become a mysterious and crucial figure!
No matter what, Bianca absolutely couldn't allow Malcolm to ascend to that position because of
Frederick's actions.
Zane's frown deepened, and he replied, "We can't be sure right now."
"We have to confirm it," Bianca heard uncertainty in the man's voice, and her already tensed heart
tightened further.
Although Frederick may not be as critical as the Entes family's seal at the moment, he was
undoubtedly a key figure.
In such a situation, there couldn't be any mistakes.
Zane looked at her. His deep gaze carried a sharp penetrative force as if he wanted to see through
Bianca.
Under such a penetrating gaze, Bianca felt uncomfortable.
As she was about to say something, Zane's phone vibrated.
He answered, "Hello."
Bianca didn't know what the person on the other end of the line said, but Zane's expression changed
instantly. His long coat accentuated his towering figure as he stood up, and the aura he exuded made
Bianca feel uneasy.
"Alright, I understand," he said to the caller before ending the call. His gaze toward Bianca grew even
deeper. "I need to go out for a bit."
"You don't need to explain anything to me," Bianca said, feeling Zane's actions to be somewhat odd.
In fact, Zane had been very busy lately. He didn't need to explain anything to her, no matter where he
went.
Zane nodded with a furrowed brow. As he turned around, he seemed to remember something.
He looked at Bianca and said, "Don't try to test him!"
It was as if Zane saw through Bianca's intentions.
When Robert was still around, Zane was always at Entes Manor, while Bianca kept Malcolm hanging
by a thread.
But now things were different!
Now was a crucial time for the Entes family.
If Bianca continued her old ways, she would undoubtedly cross Malcolm's bottom line, especially after
what happened with Faye and Jade's unfortunate fate.
Malcolm placed all the blame for those incidents on Bianca.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I know exactly what I'm doing!" Bianca retorted.
Zane's brow furrowed even more at her response. As he turned to leave, his voice echoed from a
distance, "Bianca, don't force me to make you leave Simeria."
Every word he uttered carried danger and sternness.
When Bianca returned from Yuloria, Zane seemed somewhat displeased when he saw her. Despite
their long-term cooperation, this was the first time he had used such a stern tone with her.
What was the reason behind it? Was it because he was worried about her? Or perhaps he believed
that their relationship had surpassed their original contract?
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, so did Zane's reaction when Natalie and Irwin's marriage
was mentioned.
"Meow!"
Bianca's thoughts were interrupted by the meowing of the kitten in her arms, and a bitter smile tugged
at the corners of her mouth.
She rubbed the kitten's head. "You're such a delicate little thing."
It turned out she had inadvertently squeezed the little creature too hard while lost in thought. Luckily, it
didn't bite her!
In Wexford, Cedric also saw the relevant reports. In truth, he already knew. Despite having made up his
mind, his heart still felt a sharp pang when he saw the news of Irwin and Natalie's marriage certificate.
Kyle entered the room, looking somewhat serious as he glanced at Cedric. These days, there was a
pervasive atmosphere of tension around Cedric.
"Are we all set?" Cedric asked indifferently.
