Chapter 323 Fierce
While it was true that these three forces usually didn openly, it was also fortunate that they maintained a surface–level harmony.
After all, if these major forces were to break ties, it wouldn’t just be a matter between them- it could involve the entire Simeria.
But now, Malcolm had undoubtedly shattered this balance by taking Natalie!
He was the royalty of Simeria, and the responsibility to maintain harmony weighed even
heavier!
So now.
“Aren’t you afraid of becoming a sinner?” Bianca said as she looked at him with cold eyes.
Malcolm’s gaze turned cold as well. He couldn’t help but admit that this woman was incredibly tough. Even at this stage, she dared to challenge and push him to his limits.
“Do you think I care about these things?”
“Yes, you don’t care!” Bianca smiled sarcastically. “What you care about is a woman like Faye.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the pressure on her chin intensified.
At this moment, the man seemed to want to crush her.
A dangerous glint flashed through his eyes.
Bianca had seen this kind of danger more than once in the past two years, especially whenever Faye was mentioned. His emotions would completely spiral out of control.
It was evident that Faye held a significant place in his heart.
Over time, Bianca understood that mentioning Faye’s name would only agitate him.
However, now, she wished…!
She wished she had died a long time ago to satisfy his anger.
She understood better than anyone how Malcolm had easily brought back Natalie.
There were so many people around Natalie. If she hadn’t been willing to leave with Malcolm, those people would have exerted all their efforts to ensure Natalie escaped the predicament.
Yet, Natalie had ended up leaving with Malcolm because of Bianca!
Now, facing the fierce gaze of the man in front of her, Bianca slowly closed her eyes. The expression on her pale face seemed like she had given up on everything.
A loud thud echoed as she was slammed onto the sofa.
Then, the man roared furiously, “How dare you?!”
“If you truly hate me, why don’t you take my life as compensation?! Stop involving innocent people, okay?!”
That was right! If he really hated her…!
Then she would just give her life to compensate him!
In these two years, Bianca understood that she couldn’t escape from this man. She had never left this place and didn’t even know where she was…!
In such a predicament, the only thing she could do was wear that proud mask and act as if she wasn’t bothered by anything.
But only she knew…
Two years were enough to wear down a person in many ways. Countless attempts to escape, only to be caught repeatedly, made her completely aware that it wasn’t so easy.
Her willpower was also gradually being eroded.
Natalie had stirred up her dormant determination, making her pick up her pride once again.
Bianca was the most famous lawyer in Verde City who specialized in divorce cases. She had never lost even once. Her excellence was undeniable. She had never wronged anyone, never fought an unscrupulous case.
She had never done anything wrong.
So, why did she have to be trampled on by this man?!
Bianca was proud of herself…!
“Do
you think
think your
life is worth that much? You better remember this. If you dare do such things again, I’ll make sure your good friend accompanies you when you die!”
Malcolm glared at her with bloodshot eyes as he hissed these vicious words. Then, he turned and left.
The door slammed shut behind him loudly, and even the building seemed to shake under the force!
All of Bianca’s masks shattered at this moment. She sat on the ground, looking like a soulless
doll.
After a few moments, Cynthia entered the room, her eyes filled with pity.
“Miss, please don’t confront Lord Malcolm directly. You’ll be the only one at a disadvantage.”
+25 BONUS
Seeing the red marks on Bianca’s jaw, Cynthia’s eyes flashed with sorrow and reluctance. Whenever Bianca confronted Malcolm head–on, she always ended up on the losing side.
Bianca’s l*ps curved into a bitter smile. “So, do you think I should beg him?”
Beg him?
The outcome would be even worse.
Over the years, with all the court cases she fought, she had encountered all kinds of people.
Men like Malcolm, who thought themselves to be superior, were simply heartless. They wouldn’t turn soft even when faced with weaker people…
in with.
Because they didn’t have a heart to begin
“Well, you should at least protect yourself from getting hurt whenever Lord Malcolm is here.”
Bianca found Cynthia’s words somewhat naive, as if spoken by a child.
“You don’t need to worry too much about your friend. The Jarvis family is not to be trifled with. I’m sure Lord Malcolm didn’t bring your friend here to threaten you. He probably wants to reach an agreement with the Jarvis family.
Bianca closed her eyes, concealing the turmoil and pain within.
Hopefully, things were as Cynthia said…
Time passed swiftly. In the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
During this time, Simeria had become incredibly chaotic, and those involved felt the upheaval keenly.
When Stephen returned, the Jarvis family instantly had a falling out with the Entes family!
This confrontation was unexpected, but what was more crucial was that it wasn’t just between the Jarvis family and the Entes family.
It involved the Entes family with Maple Peak and the Jarvis family with Maple Peak…!
In short, all previous harmony that had been maintained was thoroughly shattered, leading to complete chaos!
In the study at Lotus Villa, Stephen took a harsh drag from his cigarette. He had quit smoking for a while due to health issues, but now he couldn’t resist the urge
It was evident that the burden on his shoulder was immense!
“The fact that Mr. Entés took her away… was actually a good thing!” Stephen said with a frown.
His tone was unusually grave, carrying a certain disappointment.
Cedric was sitting across him, and he understood Stephen’s disappointment was directed at
Irwin.
No one expected Irwin to…!
Stephen glanced solemnly at Cedric. “When do you plan to bring her back?”
Stephen still did not agree with the conditions Malcolm had set. It had to be said that this man knew how to make outrageous demands.
Of course, the one who made the initial mistake this time was Natalie.
Given Malcolm’s personality, he would undoubtedly make a big deal out of this matter.
Speaking of Malcolm, a deeper gravity flashed in Stephen’s expression. “Any news from your side?”
He was referring to news about Natalie.
After Malcolm took Natalie away from the airport, he hid her and entered the current negotiation with Regal Horizons International.
However, Malcolm dared to make demands that Stephen simply wouldn’t meet. This led to the standoff for the past half–month.
Before Cedric could reply, his phone vibrated. Noting that it was Lucas, he answered quickly.
“Hello?”
“Sir, we’ve located Madam’s whereabouts.”
