Chapter 336 The Sixth Lord’s Cunning
Malcolm had been upset by the sudden appearance of an heiress for Regal Horizons International back
then.
And now, Stephen’s current maneuvers…
In Malcolm’s view, it was undoubtedly another one of Natalie’s dubious schemes!
Natalie was full of cunning tricks. She was seemingly simple, but her little tricks hit as hard as a
sledgehammer!
It made him wonder how she planned to turn the situation around this time.
Of course, it didn’t matter if Natalie didn’t become his woman. This situation was still an opportunity for
Natalie to become one of his people.
It didn’t seem like a bad idea.
Simeria was now abuzz with activity.
Meanwhile, the Jarvis family was handling things smoothly. Natalie had openly moved from Lotus Villa to
Hillside Villa, presenting herself as if the Jarvis family had ousted her.
At Hillside Villa, Natalie lay leisurely on the sofa. She was waiting for Malcolm to announce either his
engagement to someone else or news that there was never a relationship between them.
On the phone, Heather sighed. “The sixth lord is a cunning man. I’m worried he won’t let go so easily with
the way you’ve handled things.”
After the recent events, Heather wished she could return from Snow City immediately. However, she
couldn’t leave as she was handling the matters there. Fortunately, Stephen was in Simeria. So, Heather
didn’t worry too much.
The situation in Simeria was undoubtedly severe enough that it had also reached Snow City.
Regardless of the grand or significant events that Stephen may have orchestrated in the past, the Jarvis family had never faced such a crisis.
“Malcolm made such a proposal because he wanted to gain the Jarvis family’s support. Now that this has happened, he won’t be interested in me anymore,” Natalie replied.
You
Heather was at a loss for words. She was unsure of what to say to Natalie at this moment.
This girl was seriously…!
Natalie reassured Heather, “It’ll be okay. Don’t worry too much.”
“How can I not worry? If the sixth lord decides to be forceful with you now, the Jarvis family won’t be able
to help you!”
Natalie fell silent, her expression freezing instantly. Heather spoke the truth. With this joint plan between Natalie and Stephen, they had completely cut off that particular option for help if anything happened to
her.
The Jarvis family had publicly severed ties with her. If Malcolm insisted on marrying her now,
infamous reputation could turn into a show of righteousness and love.
his
Natalie took a deep breath. “Rest assured, he’s a man who values interests. The inheritance of the Entes
family is crucial to him now.”
Thinking this way, Natalie felt slightly more at ease.
Malcolm wouldn’t risk everything on a woman with no benefits to him.
Hopefully, he would indeed do as she expected!
“Hmph.” Heather snorted, clearly still uneasy.
Natalie’s head was pounding. With the plan she had, she initially was confident that she would be able to
force Malcolm to back away from her.
But after hearing Heather’s observation, Natalie began to feel unsure.
Sure enough, Simeria’s peace was once again shattered in just a few hours.
The playboy, the sixth lord of the Entes family, instantly became a good man in the public’s hearts.
Even though Natalie was in a precarious situation, Malcolm chose to stand by her. Previously, he had
dismissed the women around him for her sake. And now, he continued to choose her despite her no
longer having the Jarvis family’s support!
“Ptu
When the news broke, Natalie was drinking water. She spat it all over her phone once she saw the
headline.
Her grip on her phone tightened as she read the article. As she read between the lines, she could almost
This… damned man!”
Natalie was on the verge of exploding. It felt as if Malcolm had turned the tables on her.
Well, he had!
The rumors about him had always been unfavorable, and it seemed that dealing with such a man wasn’t
as easy as she had thought.
Just then, her phone vibrated. It was a call from Stephen.
The vibration felt like a burning sensation in her hand.
What should she do now?
Really, she felt like she was going crazy!
“Miss.” Lydia looked at Natalie with concern.
Natalie took several deep breaths but couldn’t suppress the heaviness in her chest.
Then, she said, “It’s okay. I’m fine.”
Answering the call, she said, “Uncle.
“Did you see the news?” Stephen sounded like he was gritting his teeth harshly even as he spoke.
“Yeah,” Natalie replied.
The atmosphere at the moment was more than just tense. Natalie was utterly speechless.
What was happening?
The situation was enough to drive her insane.
“Uncle, I didn’t expect Malcolm to be so stubborn.”
Even in such a situation, he insisted on marrying her?! Who was he trying to infuriate?
Needless to say, Malcolm was hailed as a good man in Simeria now, and the people would start cursing
as the vixen who managed to seduce him.
Stephen’s Lone had been tensed, and it now became even more serious. “Stay at Hillside Villa, Don’t go anywhere
But, Uncle
“I’ll handle it.”
“How are you going to handle it?”
With things reaching this point, breaking off the engagement with Malcolm seemed impossible.
The man now had quite a positive reputation. How could he possibly turn around and throw it all down
the drain?
Stephen’s tone was impatient as he said, “You don’t have to worry about it. Just stay there and be good.
for now!”
Judging by his tone, he was angry again.
Natalie’s head was throbbing. Originally, she thought she could return to work once Malcolm announced
the end of their relationship.
Now that he had caused such a stir, she didn’t know how long she would be stuck in this boredom.
She could tell…!
Malcolm was actually pressuring Stephen and forcing the latter to support him.
In this
In this way, he was telling Stephen that no matter what unscrupulous things they did on their side, he still
wanted to be connected to the Jarvis family.
“Nat.”
“Yes, Uncle?”
“This is the only time… Stephen’s tone was unusually serious.
When she previously wanted to deal with Bianca’s matters, Stephen had already mentioned that Malcolm
wasn’t a simple man to handle.
Once involved, things would become very complicated.
This incident was a lesson for Natalie.
Not everyone would let themselves be manipulated, especially someone like Malcolm. Malcolm was a
man who didn’t back down and was also a troublesome entity to deal with.
understand, Natalie mumbled.
At that moment, she didn’t know what to say. She hadn’t intended to manipulate Malcolm. She just
wanted to force him to back off.
BONUS
Who would have thought that he would be so stubborn?
Stephen was also implying that Malcolm was insignificant in the vast sea of people, and that there were even more formidable individuals in the world.
Also, Natalie had a long road ahead of her. So, she had to be cautious at every step.
