Chapter 317 The Dangerous Man
Due to Cedric’s significant conflict with Malcolm, going up with Natalie at this time would only put her in a worse situation.
“Has everything been arranged?” Cedric asked as his expression darkened.
Lucas nodded. “Rest assured, Madam won’t encounter any problems.”
It would be good if that were the case!
With that, the stiffness on Cedric’s face eased slightly.
In the top–floor office, Natalie sat on the sofa while a man exuding an air of nobility and coldness paced around her office, his cigar releasing tendrils of smoke.
Suddenly, the cigar flew towards Natalie. Without waiting for her reaction, the burning cigar grazed her cheek and flew straight into the ashtray on her desk behind her.
It was a precise and agile shot!
Natalie was silent.
Her cheek stung a bit!
Her gaze towards Malcolm became sharp as she said, “You have excellent skills, Lord Malcolm!
Malcolm approached her and leaned down. His warm breath grazed her face as he said, “I have plenty of other excellent skills. Would you like to try it out?”
Despite the warmth, Natalie felt an endless chill spreading through her b*dy.
Natalie smiled, looking up into the dangerous eyes of the man.
She had to admit that the heavens must have blessed this man. He was infuriatingly handsome, and the depth in his dangerous eyes was mesmerizing.
“Lord Malcolm, are you threatening me or warning me?”
“I’d remember if I had a grudge with you. Speak up, then. Why did you force me to return in such an extreme way…?!”
Malcolm stood up and strode towards the sofa opposite Natalie, his entire being exuding a domineering air.
While the oppressive feeling withdrew, the lingering danger in the air made Natalie still feel acutely alert.

Looking at the man across from her, the smile on her l*ps widened.
“I apologize for using such a method, but the situation was urgent.”
“It better be a convincing reason. Otherwise…”
The man’s tone was dangerous, as if warning Natalie.
From this atmosphere and the danger in his eyes, Natalie could basically confirm that Malcolm… was indeed like the man in the rumors.
Now, the wound on her face stung painfully.
She took a deep breath and asked, “Is Bianca in your hands?”
“Bianca?”
“Yes.”
“Who is she?”
Natalie was silent. At his words, her heart sank, and her complexion changed.
“Lord Malcolm!”
You should know I have many women around me. They don’t have the honor of me remembering their names like I do yours, Ms. Walker.”
Natalie’s already serious expression grew colder at this moment.
Many women.
At this point, Natalie also remembered that Malcolm changed women as easily as changing clothes. There were indeed many women around him.
But Natalie was certain Bianca was different to him.
After all, he had been the one to take her away!
“If you don’t know Bianca, what about Faye?”
Natalie’s tone became heavier.
The already somewhat cold office was instantly filled with tension as soon as she finished speaking.
The man’s eyes became even colder and more chillingly dangerous when he looked at her. The danger in his eyes was like a storm that was begging to be unleashed.
“Bianca is the lawyer involved in Ms. Winters‘ divorce lawsuit.”
Oh, her!

At this moment, a mocking smile on Malcolm’s l*ps. His smile didn’t reach his eyes, and it was
ice–cold.
“She’s known to me as 74”
Natalie was speechless.
A number?!
What did this man take women for?
Natalie’s blood boiled angrily at the man’s attitude toward women.
“Why? Is that woman important to you, Ms. Walker?”
“I want her!” Natalie hissed through gritted teeth.
Her previous restraint was now gradually crumbling.
The man smiled sharply.
It was a dangerous smile.
“You want her?”
“Yes!”
“Well, that’s not going to happen. Pick another woman.
“She’s the only one I want!”
An invisible standoff began between the two.
Malcolm’s face turned colder, and the danger emanating from him reached its peak.
The atmosphere in the office was tense enough that a knife could easily slice through it!
The danger seemed to surge, as if it would erupt at any moment.
After learning about Bianca’s situation with Malcolm and the treatment she endured, all the restraint in Natalie’s eyes completely shattered.
The man looked at Natalie, who seemed like a wild beast, and laughed.
“Interesting!”
It’s no wonder Stephen entrusted such a large conglomerate to you. Despite being so petite, you have such charisma! It’s just a pity…”
This point, the man paused.

When he met Natalie’s eyes, his smile had faded, and the glint in his eyes was as sharp as ever.
Without waiting for Natalie to speak, Malcolm cleared his throat and said, “It’s a pity that you’re still too young. Ultimately, you’re still a woman and too emotional!”
Natalie’s eyes darkened.
“Lord Malcolm!”
“Tell your uncle to be prepared to pay the price.”
As he said that, Malcolm stood up. He turned and headed towards the door, the air around him as cold as ever.
Malcolm had come here in person but never mentioned the collaboration, indicating his arrogance and disdain.
“From the moment you leave this room, I will have no connections with Regal Horizons. So, if you want to kill or torture someone, just come at me.”
“It seems you’re well–prepared!”
“I’ve heard rumors that you’re not an easy man to deal with, Lord Malcolm. I was fully prepared before I pulled this move.”
“Hah! That depends on whether your uncle agrees or not.”
With a bang, the office door was slammed shut.
Natalie stood in place, her whole b*dy stiff and cold.
She had to admit that Malcolm was exactly how he was described to be in the rumors!
He w
He was ruthless and cruel!
Undoubtedly, Natalie’s significant move didn’t even touch the tip of Malcolm’s iceberg.
It merely forced him back for the time being.
After Malcolm left, Cedric entered the room.
When he saw Natalie standing with a cold look on her face, he approached her and asked, “Did you fail to reach an agreement with him?”
“We didn’t even negotiate!” Natalie sat down with a huff.
She was telling the truth.
Whey hadn’t negotiated.
If Malcolm had made demands, she could have done something. But he didn’t ask for anything. He just asked for the reasons and left after issuing threats.
When Cedric heard that, his expression changed.
“It seems that you can’t stay in Simeria any longer.
“What…?”
It was that serious?!
+25 BONUS
Natalie looked at Cedric in disbelief. Although Malcolm had left with such threats, was the situation really that dire?
However, Natalie only knew that this project was crucial for Malcolm, but she didn’t know to what extent.
She had completely offended him!
Now, the situation was extremely difficult.
‘Malcolm is a person who settles scores. You’ve hit a sore spot this time, so he won’t let you off.”
“A sore spot?!”
“This project was related to his inheritance of the entire Entes family.”
