Chapter 408 Scramble
Compared to the turmoil on Natalie’s side, Biarica had swiftly assumed the role of the Entes. family’s seventh lady, energetically navigating herself through high society. Being the
seventh lord’s wife, everyone who encountered her treated her with utmost respect.
At a charity gala, Zane had instructed Bianca to bid on a painting at any cost.
But fate had its twists, and she bumped into Jade.
“You sly fox! Just because Malcolm didn’t want you, you immediately latched onto Zane!” Jade sneered, barely finishing her sentence before she received a stinging slap across her face.
The force was evident, making Jade taste blood. She could feel the warmth of the slap lingering on her cheek.
“How dare you strike me?” Jade exclaimed in disbelief.
“Does it hurt?”
“I’m going to tell Malcolm!” Jade threatened, infuriated by Bianca’s audacity.
How dare this woman slap her?!
But Bianca dismissed her threat with a smirk. “You’re already an old woman. Yet, you’re acting like a child? How embarrassing!”
“Who are you calling old?” Jade seethed, her face fluctuating between pale and purple with
rage.
Bianca leaned in and said, “Take care, dear. Your temper might harm your kidneys.”
Her voice was soft, but it was tinged heavily with mockery.
Jade staggered back, nearly collapsing.
The sheer audacity of this woman!
Jade felt a burning desire to tear Bianca apart.
She was such a hateful woman! How dare she!
However, Blanca simply smiled. Then, she gracefully moved away, seemingly in high spirits.
At an auction, Jade set her sights on a set of jewelry with a starting bid of a whopping 5 million!
As she raised her paddle, the crowd instinctively made way. After all, everyone in Simeria knew that Jade, the heiress of the Winters family, was deeply cherished by Malcolm.
+25 BONUS
In all her years, no one dared to challenge her choices.
But today was different.
Just as the gavel was about to fall for the third time, Bianca calmly declared, “Six million.”
The crowd gasped, eyes darting to the source of the bid. They were taken aback when they recognized Bianca.
“Isn’t that the seventh lord’s wife?”
“Yes, it’s her!”
Memories of the grand event where Zane and Bianca had stunned the entire Simeria at the Jarvis family’s gathering resurfaced in everyone’s mind.
The showdown between the cherished heiress under Malcolm’s protection and the wife of the seventh lord was a spectacle no one could have predicted.
Upon hearing someone daring to outbid her, Jade turned to see who it was.
When her eyes met Bianca’s, a sinister glint flashed in them. She wanted so much to tear Bianca into pieces…!
Jade’s eyes darkened with venomous rage at that moment, as if she wanted nothing more than
to tear Bianca apart.
“Seven million!”
“Eight million!”
…Nine million!”
Jade hesitated noticeably, but Bianca remained resolute, showing no signs of hesitation. “Ten
million!”
Bianca clearly intended to win that set of jewelry
Jade glared fiercely at Bianca, a warning evident in her eyes.
However, Blanca didn’t even spare her a glance.
Seeing Bianca’s aloof and arrogant demeanor, Jade gritted her teeth and raised her paddle once more. “Fifteen million!‘
Yet, Bianca swiftly countered with, “Twenty million!”
Jade was left speechless.
The onlookers could practically feel the tension between the two women. Rumors once spoke of a harmonious relationship between the sixth and the seventh lord of the Entes family.
But looking at it now, it didn’t seem those rumors were true.
Jade fumed and didn’t realize that the gravel had landed three times. She was distracted, looking at Bianca’s aloof and arrogant expression
She gritted her teeth and forgot herself in her anger!
“Twenty–five million!”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Winters, but this set already belongs to the seventh lady. Perhaps you’ll find something else to your liking later.”
Jade had lost!
In all her years in high society, Jade had never tasted defeat.
But now, she had been bested!
Bianca…!
First, she took Malcolm’s attention, and now she dared to challenge Jade! Did Bianca think she was better than Jade because she was with Zane?!
When Bianca exited the auction hall, Jade was waiting by her car. When Jade caught sight of Bianca, she strode forward to slap her.
But in an unexpected turn, Bianca grabbed Jade’s wrist with such force that Jade felt a sharp pain and broke out into a cold sweat.
“You… You bitch!”
With a swift motion, Bianca slapped Jade across the face.
Unlike Jade’s seething anger, Bianca seemed poised and composed.
The force behind the slap was evident as Bianca’s hands trembled slightly after it.
“You… you…!”
Another slap echoed, further fueling Jade’s fury.
Jade’s heart raced, and her expression twisted into an ugly sight as she looked at Bianca. Her gaze was also filled with intense hatred.
“Next time, watch your words. I wouldn’t mind teaching you how to behave like a true noble lady,” Blanca said flatly.
Your manners are quite bad, you know? Forget about being worthy of Lord Malcolm. You’re not even worth being with the most useless third lord of the Entes family!”
“How dare you bump me with that imbecile and insult me that way?” Jade seethed, glaring daggers at Blanca.
Her gaze seemed as if she wanted to devour Bianca whole
Who didn’t know that the most docile member of the Entes family was the third lord? Because he was a fool, and a fool would naturally be obedient.
Yet now, Bianca dared insult her by lumping her with him!
The anger she felt in her heart escalated rapidly. It was almost as if she wanted to drown Bianca entirely in it!
‘Insult you? Do you even know the meaning of the word? I thought you and the third lord were a perfect match!”
“You..!
Jade’s anger reached a new peak
This was outrageous!
Bianca had gone too far. In all of Jade’s years in Simeria, no one had ever dared to humiliate her like this.
And yet, Bianca did!
“Ugh!” Before Jade could react, Bianca forcefully pushed her, causing Jade to stumble and fall.
“Stop right there!”
Ignoring Jade’s scream, the car sped away, leaving her fuming with rage.
Watching the direction in which Bianca’s car disappeared, Jade seethed, “You just wait!”
Each word she uttered dripped with malice.
Meanwhile, inside the car, Bianca’s mood was unusually cheerful. Whatever happened tonight was just the beginning-
Things would progress gradually starting from now…!
Bianca would never forget the pain Malcolm had inflicted on her and how much he had ruined her life. She would recover all of it.
She would settle to score with him without missing a single detail!
