Chapter 399 There Never Was a Bianca by Your Side 

It was a stack of photographs! 

At first glance, it seemed quite dated. 

But in an instant, Natalie’s expression changed drastically as she looked deep into Cedric’s 

eyes. 

A chilling glint flashed in her eyes! 

“Cedric!” Natalie hissed through gritted teeth. 

She rose swiftly, lifting an ashtray as if to strike Cedric directly on the head. 

Her fury was palpable. 

Yet, 

the moment she raised her hand, Cedric’s dark gaze met hers, rendering her motionless. 

Her heart raced uncontrollably. 

With a crash, the ashtray fell to the ground, its impact echoing in the room. Natalie’s eyes held a chilling intensity as she glared at Cedric. 

She took a few deep breaths. 

“These…” 

These what? 

She couldn’t even bring herself to voice whatever those photos contained. 

Her heart was a chaotic mess. 

She felt numb, almost paralyzed. 

It was obvious that she…! 

She was unable to accept it. 

She knew of Clyde’s hardships during his early days in Wexford, but the extent of his hidden struggles was unknown to her. 

He had gone through so much. 

These are all real,” Cedric affirmed. 

What are you planning?” she demanded. 

“You should be asking what I want,” he replied smoothly. 

Natalie fell silent and pursed her l*ps tightly. 

She glared fiercely at him, wishing she could tear him apart with her bare hands. 

What he wanted?! 

How dare he..! 

But as Cedric had once mentioned, he was beyond shame. He lacked the very essence of it. 

“Nat, do I need to tell you how it woes? If this gets out, that child won’t remain a pride of the 

Jarvis family. Your mother will suffer immensely” Cedric softly cautioned, emphasizing each 

word. 

Undoubtedly, Cedric had noticed Natalie’s deep–rooted familial values. She was devoted to Heather and Stephen, so she would obviously care a lot about Clyde. 

For what felt like an eternity, the two locked eyes in a silent standoff. Despite the gravity of the situation, Natalie refused to yield an inch in front of Cedric. 

Yet, Cedric’s patience seemed endless. 

Suddenly, the sound of a child’s cry echoed from upstairs, startling Natalie. 

Without a second thought, she rushed upstairs. Observing her panic–stricken form, a shadow. of darkness crossed Cedric’s eyes. 

Upstairs, Luna had indeed taken a tumble. Thankfully, the child was unharmed but shaken due to Natalie’s prior precautions. 

“It’s okay, sweetie. Mommy’s here,” Natalie whispered, cradling Luna close. At this moment, 

her entire world was in a mess. 

Hearing the commotion, servants rushed in. But seeing Natalie holding Luna in her arms, they knew they could offer no further assistance. 

Everyone in the Jarvis family knew that once Luna laid eyes on Natalie at night, no one else 

mattered 

“Shh, it’s okay,” Natalie cooed as she held Luna close, soothing her distressed emotions. 

As Cedric ascended the stairs, he caught sight of Natalie’s gentle demeanor with the child. The child lay on Natalie’s shoulder, her face obscured from view. 

However, it was evident that the child was very reliant on Natalie. 

“It’s alright, sweetie. Everything’s fine,” Natalie whispered reassuringly. 

Gradually, Luna’s emotions settled. She nestled into Natalie’s shoulder, drifting into a 

peaceful sleep. Natalie walked around the room, cradling the child gently. 

When Natalie turned around, she spotted Cedric standing at the doorway. She involuntarily 

Luna started to squirm when she noticed Natalie had stopped walking. Just as she was about to cry out again, Natalie quickly hushed her. 

“Do we have to discuss this tonight?” 

Natalie’s heart was pounding painfully in her chest. 

Luna was struggling harder now. If she turned her head slightly, Cedric would definitely see Luna’s face! 

If Kyle could discern the truth, then surely Cedric, with all his cunning, would see through it easily! 

Yet, every slight movement Natalie made seemed futile. Whenever Luna cried, Natalie had to constantly pace around the room to sooth her. 

Cedric and Natalie were at a stalemate! 

“Yes.” Cedric nodded curtly. 

Natalie was silent. She didn’t wish to engage further with Cedric, but he seemed insistent. It was as though he wouldn’t leave without definitive answers! 

No one knew how over her head Natalie was at that moment! 

While Natalie and Cedric were having a battle of wills, Bianca and Zane had returned to Versant 

Villa. 

But shortly after, Zane departed! 

With the impending Entes family events, everyone was swamped with preparations. 

There were nights when Zane wouldn’t return at all. 

Tonight, Bianca was restless. She tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep. 

Natalie was the Jarvis family’s biological daughter. Naturally, someone would follow up on what happened back then. 

Bianca was genuinely happy for Natalie. In this way, the only weakness Natalie used to have was now gone. 

Just then, her phone buzzed, interrupting her thoughts. 

It was Malcolm. 

No one from the outside world knew about her relationship with Malcolm. So, in these few days, no one could gauge just how furious Malcolm was. 

Who would dare play games with him like this?! 

After all, his woman had always been obedient. 

He forced her to run the compatibility tests with Jade, and the result was… that Bianca was a perfect match. 

After that, Malcolm went even more crazy and insisted on using her to save Jade. 

However, Bianca was not like Natalie. Natalie had allowed Cedric to treat her that way back then because of her love for him! 

What cau 

Bianca felt no such love for him the audacity to make her comply? He had no leverage! 

“Hello.” When Bianca answered the phone, her voice was dripping with triumphant cheerfulness. 

This audacity caught Malcolm off guard. 

How could she dare speak to him with such provocation? 

Indeed, Bianca’s triumphant tone was unmistakably a challenge to Malcolm, who had 

previously dominated her every move. 

Who would have thought that in the very moment he turned his back, she would align herself with Zane, the seventh lord of the Entes family? 

It was a slap in the face for Malcolm. 

“Come out!” The man on the other end of the line spoke with heavy breathing laced with 

anger. 

Bianca smirked triumphantly, “Is this how the sixth lord speaks to his sister–in–law?” 

“Bianca!” 

“Have you forgotten? There was never any Bianca by your side!” 

Oh? So Malcolm did know Bianca’s name! 

During those times, he had inflicted all kinds of humiliation on her. He had refused to call her by name and instead called her ‘74‘ 

So, why would he remember her name? 

But Bianca wasn’t moved. 

She despised Malcolm, wishing nothing more than to see him suffer!
