Chapter 324 Short
On the solitary island, Natalie spent most of the half–month standing on the balcony of the third–floor room, gazing at the vast sea outside.
She could go out. But each time she ventured beyond, she found the sea surrounded the entire island. Escaping seemed nearly impossible.
After Malcolm’s people brought her here, they cut off all her contact with the outside world. She had no idea what was happening in Simeria.
During this half–month, besides thinking ab Irwin–yes, Irwin.
Bianca, Natalie’s mind was preoccupied with
Until now, the dangerous glint in Yves‘ eyes from that
Voften flashed in her mind.
The sound of helicopter propellers buzzing interrupted her thoughts. Natalie looked up, and her eyes gleamed with a deep fascination. The helicopter landed not far away on the beach.
Men in black suits disembarked in an orderly manner, forming a disciplined formation. The last two men to descend exuded an imposing aura.
One wore sunglasses covering most of his face, and even from a distance, Natalie could feel
that one was Malcolm.
Her expression turned cold, and she rushed downstairs.
Seeing how she moved so quickly, the butler downstairs breathed heavily and said, “Ms. Walker, please be careful.”
Although she was confined here, the people treated her with great courtesy. Natalie had been. well taken care of during this half–month.
As Malcolm entered, he saw her in a white dress, and a smile crept onto his l*ps. “It seems my taste is not bad. It suits you well.”
What kind of comment was that?!
Natalie remained silent, but her expression was more than chilly. “What exactly do you want?”
It had been half a month since that night when he took her from the airport and placed her here. Even a fool could deduce that Simeria must have undergone significant changes during
this time.
The man in black, clad in a powerful aura from head to toe, reclined on the sofa.
“I underestimated your position in Stephen’s heart. Just a niece, yet somehow more important than his own daughter.”
Natalie remained silent.
Stephen’s own daughter. Winona?
Natalie asked, “May I leave now

Half a month had passed, and Simeria must have undergone earth–shaking changes.
These people would undoubtedly reach a quick igreement with the fastest speed, especially after what Malcolm had just said. His words suggested that this time, Stephen had compromised quite a bit for her.
Yet, until now, she hadn’t seen Blanca.
Thinking of this, Natalie clenched her fists,
she used to think this man was immoral and despicable, but what she didn’t anticipate was that with some people… one would never know another’s bottom line.
In fact, with Malcolm, there might be no bottom line at all.
At this moment, the man looked at her and said, “Before, I thought you were just a niece relying on your uncle’s influence. Now, it seems that you’re more significant than I thought. Natalie… why don’t we get married?”
Natalie remained silent.
At his words, her mind went blank.
Looking at Malcolm’s perfect and alluring face, she wasn’t just angry!
This man was a lunatic!!!
Previously, she had described Cedric as shameless. But now, it seemed that those words were more fitting for Malcolm.
What’s more, these words were insufficient to describe him!
Bottom lines, principles–Natalie didn’t believe this man had any of those!
“You’re shameless!” Natalie hissed through gritted teeth.
Malcolm had said those words teasingly, but Natalie knew this was not a joke.
He was serious.
At this moment, Natalie thought of something–the fifth son of the Entes family had once proposed to Winona through Stephen.
But for some reason, Stephen had not agreed at that time.
In reality, every member of the Entes family excelled in their respective fields. However, such
Winona was Stephen’s only daughter. So, Stephen would consider Winona’s happiness more than their family’s interests when making significant decisions for her.
Regal Horizons International already held a prominent position in Simeria, which made powerful alliances less important.

But for the several members of the Entes family, it was different.
The Entes family was powerful, and the question of who would inherit their family was crucial. The conditions that the heir should possess naturally had to be the best in every aspect.
There had never been any marital alliances among the three major forces–the Jarvis family, Maple Peak, and the Entes family.
Natalie had to admit that Malcolm was daring to propose such a union.
After all, he needed to consider the reactions of the many influential and important people in the Entes family for such an alliance!
“What’s wrong? Are you not willing?” Malcolm asked.
“Are you trying to throw me into a difficult situation?” Natalie scoffed at the man.
If she agreed to Malcolm’s proposal, she might never return to Simeria.
She couldn’t do that!
But if she returned to Simeria, would the other members of the Entes family truly allow al union between Malcolm and the Jarvis family?
“Are you worried about your safety? Rest assured, no one will dare to disrespect you!”
Malcolm assured.
“Hah!”
Quite a boastful claim, but understandable.
Once they were married, the Entes family would soon fall into the hands of Malcolm. He had that much confidence.
However, what about before the successful union?
“What if I don’t agree?” Natalie coldly eyed Malcolm. Her tone now carried a dangerous undertone.
The man looked at her with sharp eyes, a hint of amusement flickering in their depths. Yet, the smile appeared so cold.
“Natalie, as a woman with your qualifications, being the princess of the Entes family won’t be
A woman with my qualifications” Natalie retopled.
“Why did your aunt go to Snow City? Are you prefending to be ignorant?” he asked.
At his words, Natalie’s face instantly turned pale
He knew…?!
Clearly, this matter had been well hidden. But as the saying goes, there were no secrets that time wouldn’t unveil
She knew concealing the truth was only a temporary measure, but she didn’t expect this man to find out so quickly.
The man stood up and approached her. He looked down at her, and Natalie Instinctively took a step back. However, the man easily caught her chin, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.
As their eyes met, Natalie shook her head vigorously, only to feel pain.
“You’re really short!” the man sneered.
Natalie’s already unpleasant complexion turned angry in an instant.
“A woman with my qualifications?” Natalie retorted.
