Chapter 306 The Sixth Lord
When Natalie arrived at the company, the first thing she did was call Wendy into her office.
At this moment, Natalie was standing by the French windows. The air around her was cold, and Wendy had never seen Natalie like this before.
Wendy tensed up when Natalie turned to look at her!
“Wendy.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
“Help me arrange a meeting with the sixth lord!
The sixth lord was the Entes family’s sixth son, Malcolm Entes.
In Simeria, people referred to him as the sixth lord. Malcolm held a more significant position than the other members of the Entes family because of the things he controlled, which no one else could match.
Even Stephen would show him great respect when meeting him.
It was also why Stephen was relieved and worried when Natalie secured a collaboration with Malcolm.
He was relieved because she independently completed such a significant project collaboration. But he worried because Malcolm was not an easy person to deal with.
Those who knew Malcolm only had one way to describe him–ruthless and cruel!
At this moment, Natalie even prayed in her heart and hoped it wasn’t Malcolm.
If Bianca had truly provoked him, Natalie would probably understand why Cedric always said. she couldn’t handle this matter.
But if it was really Malcolm…!
Natalie couldn’t help but close her eyes when the thought crossed her mind.
In less than half an hour, Wendy came to report.
“Ms. Walker, the sixth lord is currently in Snow City. He’s expected to return in three days.”
“Three days?”
“Yes, three days!”
Three days…
He was in Snow City?

Natalie furrowed her brows tightly.
Thinking about Bianca being in the hands of the Entes family, Natalie would worry regardless. if it was three days or three hours.
When she had no clues, she endlessly searched for them. Now that she finally found a lead, she naturally wanted to bring Bianca back immediately.
Her breathing became slightly heavier.
Ring! Ring!
The internal line rang, and Wendy answered the phone with a gesture from Natalie.
“Yes?”
“Mr. Frazier is here.”
When Natalie heard it was Irwin, her frown deepened.
Evidently, her current situation was…!
But she still asked her people to show him in.
After hanging up the phone, Wendy looked at Natalie, and Natalie said, “You can leave first!”
“Yes, ma’am!” Wendy nodded and left.
When Natalie was left alone in her office, she lit a cigarette. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the Entes family.
In a short period, she went through everyone in the Entes family in her mind.
She had to admit that the people of the Entes family were not easy to deal with.
When Irwin entered, he saw Natalie’s serious expression.
When she saw Irwin, Natalie instinctively put out the cigarette in her hand.
However, Irwin said, “If Aunt found out about that, you’ll have to endure a month of her nagging.”
And wasn’t that the truth?
Natalie approached the couch and sat down.
“Well, Aunt isn’t here now. Why are you here?”
Irwin looked at her with a hint of gentle indulgence in the corner of his eyes. The emotion, however, didn’t reach the depths of his
eyes.
Natalie asked, “Why are you loolding at me like that?”

Undoubtedly, she was more accustomed to Irwin’s serious appearance. She remembered back in Verde City when she worked to secure the project with this man.
At that time, his serious face almost drained all her courage.
However, a severe glint appeared in Irwin’s eyes in the next moment.
This made Natalie freeze for a moment!.
“Tell Leon not to dig any deeper.”
Natalie was speechless. She was already frozen, but she became even more unresponsive upon hearing Irwin’s words.
After a long while, she finally asked, “What do you mean?”
“Lord Malcolm was the one who took Bianca away. You know what kind of person he is, right?”
Natalie was silent, and her breathing became involuntarily heavy.
Her heart surged uncontrollably at his words.
“When did y
“When did you find out?”
She almost couldn’t hear her own voice.
Leon had just obtained the lead, yet Irwin was already here!
Or had he, like Cedric, already knew early on?
Was she the only one who didn’t know?!
They..!
Irwin replied, “I’ve known all along
“You…”
‘Nat, I know exactly what Bianca means to you.”
Cedric wasn’t the only one who knew what Natalie would do for Bianca.
Irwin also knew, and Stephen… also knew!
Natalie looked at the man before her and once again felt lost.
It had already been difficult to see things clearly around her, but now… everything was even more blurry!
She hated this kind of ambiguity.
The people around her seemned to be wearing masks, and she was the same!
Before she could speak, Irwin continued, “I wasn’t the only one who knew. Cedric knew, and your uncle… also knew!”
“Uncle ?”
“Your uncle knew from the beginning.”
From the beginning? When was that?
So, when Bianca first disappeared, Stephen had already known?!
There was a suffocating feeling in her ch*st when Natalie thought about it.
Everyone knew… Did they know exactly what Bianca was going through?!
They knew that that person had taken Bianca and that she was constantly facing threats to her
life.
Yet, despite all this, no one told her?!
Natalie’s ch*st felt increasingly constricted!
“Is that… the reason none of you told me?”
“Nat, you know what kind of existence the Entes family is in Simeria, right?!”
Yes, she knew.
But even if she knew, what difference did it make?
She clenched her fist tightly and trembled uncontrollably.
These people…!
Irwin had expected her reaction. He walked over to the couch and sat down beside her. Then, he reached out and took her cold hand, slowly prying open her tightly clenched fist. He
soothed her cold hands and tried to share his warmth with her.
Natalie pulled away unconsciously, obviously wanting to put some distance between them!
“Are you angry?”
Irwin’s tone remained indulgent as he observed her, but it also carried an invisible firmness.
Natalie turned her head away, refusing to look at Irwin anymore.
“Since you know it was Lord Malcolm, you should also know you have no control over this
matter!
Why
“Why what?”
“Why did he take Bianca?”
Since they all knew that Malcolm had taken Bianca, they must know the reasons behind it!
This moment left Natalie deeply shaken, and what surprised her was the coldness in these people’s hearts.
Perhaps, that’s just how they were–indifferent to matters that had nothing to do with them…
Indifferent to life and death…!
Especially Irwin! He was even more terrifying!
From how he knew about Leon digging into the Entes family, it was evident that Irwin had a complete grasp of everything happening around her.
This level of control was chilling.
If Leon hadn’t found clues about Bianca, Irwin probably wouldn’t have told her anything.
At this moment, everything she thought she knew became so unfamiliar to Natalie. Not just the masks that everyone wore around her… even their inner thoughts…!
