Chapter 401 You…!
However, Malcolm seemed as if he hadn’t heard anything.
The force in his hand grew stronger and stronger until..
Slap!
Bianca slapped Malcolm harshly across the face, While Malcolm was furious, he also returned
to his senses.
The tense atmosphere became even more stifling after Bianca struck Malcolm.
Bianca had… actually slapped Malcolm?!
With her freedom secured, Bianca glared viciously at Malcolm, mocking him, “Incompetent man!”
Everyone present was silent.
She had lost it.
She had truly lost it!
Yet Conrad remained relatively composed. In his eyes, hadn’t the old Bianca always acted this way around Malcolm?
No matter how he suppressed her, her proud demeanor, filled with untamed spirit, always remained unyielding.
Bianca glared fiercely at Malcolm, her gaze pushing him almost to the brink.
Once again, he gripped Bianca’s throat tightly.
The scene made everyone feel like they were on a roller coaster, but Bianca was relentless!
She wouldn’t allow Malcolm to oppress her any longer.
“Bianca, I warn you, stop whatever schemes you have!!
“What schemes do you speak of, Lord Malcolm?
“You know full well!
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Although her face was flushed, her eyes remained the same as always.
They were devoid of any plea for mercy as she glared at him.
With slender, cold fingers, she gently pulled his hand from her neck.

“You probably wish you could end me right now, don’t you?” Bianca smirked at Malcolm.
His eyes dimmed at her words!
“Too bad you missed your chance,” she continued.
Leaning in close to his ear, her voice carried a chilling undertone, “Shall I teach you the proper way to seek revenge, Lord Malcolm?”
“Bianca!”
“Or perhaps you’re afraid?”
“You…!” Malcolm raged, genuinely wishing he could throttle her right then and there.
Bianca had totally lost her mind!
How dare she act this audaciously?!
Bianca stood her ground, letting him come at her. All the while, she wore a haunting smile that sent shivers down one’s spine.
But just as Malcolm was about to reach her, a stern shout came from the entrance, “Stop!”
It was Zane.
He had returned!
Zane was dressed in an elegant overcoat and slowly walked into the villa. There was a chilly air around him, just like Malcolm!
When Bianca saw him, her smile deepened even further.
“You’re back,” she said gently as she approached Zane.
Where had that chilling smile she’d directed at Malcolm gone?
When she reached Zane, he pulled Bianca close and met Malcolm’s eyes.
With a dangerous aura reminiscent of a wolf, he asked, “Malcolm, what are you up to? It’s the dead of night!”
“Zane, you know full well what kind of person this woman used to be!
“No, I don’t. But i suggest you let go of your grudge against her, or else…”
Zane trailed off without finishing his sentence, but he looked deeply at Malcolm, then at
Blanca.
The message was clear.
Watching the two embrace, Malcolm’s anger flared, and he finally stormed off.
He felt as quickly as he had arrived.
The butter and the head maid present shot a fierce glare at the other servants. Even without saying anything, everyone knew that nothing about tonight’s events should be leaked.
The moment Malcolm exited the gates, Zane released Bianca.
Try not to provoke him in the future,” Zane said coldly.
Zane and Malcolm were truly brothers. They even acted in the same cold manner, making them almost indistinguishable.
Bianca retorted, “I’m with you because of a deal! Have you forgotten?
Stop provoking Malcolm? They had just started anew, how could they just end it like this?
As Zane glanced at Bianca, his gaze… intensified.
Understanding Zane’s thoughts, Bianca added, “Don’t worry. I won’t rush things.”
At least not when he deemed it crucial.
Zane nodded. I know you understand the situation, but Malcolm has always been impulsive.”
Ultimately, the message was clear: Bianca should stay away from Malcolm and stop provoking
him.
Bianca shrugged it off.
“Got it,” she replied.
“Rest up.”
With that, Zane turned and left. It seemed he had unfinished business outside and had rushed back upon receiving a call from the butler.
The seemingly cold and indifferent man had a side she hadn’t anticipated.
On the other side of Hillside Estate, whether it was Bianca’s world or Natalie’s, tensions were escalating rapidly.
In the end, Natalie didn’t let Cedric see Luna’s face. Instead, she shut the room door, ensuring Luna was settled before emerging.
She saw Cedric waiting outside with a stormy expression.
“You really care for that child,” he remarked sarcastically.
Naralle replied, “At least I know what’s mine and what’s not!”
Her words dripped with irony.
He demanded she accept Isabella’s child, yet mocked her for caring for her own.
Natalie was mocking him for always being unable to distinguish between his own and others. He had been that way in the past… and that hadn’t changed.
Cedric’s eyes turned cold. “Natalie.‘
“Don’t look at me like that,” she snapped.
Natalie descended the stairs.
Evidently, she didn’t want to discuss these matters at Luna’s door.
After all, Cedric had no place in her world.
Downstairs, Cedric tucked away the envelope and its contents. “Have you decided?”
“Give it to me!”
“This is just a part of it!” he said as he tossed it over to Natalie.
At his words, Natalie felt her anger surge. “You want me to accept her? Impossible!”
She was referring to Kayla.
How could she ever accept Isabella’s child?
Hearing her firm tone, Cedric’s eyes involuntarily dimmed for a moment.
He looked at her sharply.
Sensing his changing demeanor, Natalie felt her heart sank.
Yet her resolve remained firm.
She declared, “Cedric, if you had any heart, you wouldn’t ask me to accept that child.”
At this point, Natalie truly couldn’t fathom the depth of Cedric’s fixation on her. Given his status, numerous women would willingly step forward.
So why involve her?
Ah, because it was Kayla!
That individual behind Kayla had implanted the idea from the start that she was Kayla’s
mother.
