Chapter 447 Should I Address You as Malcolm?
Malcolm’s already grim expression darkened further. His eyes flared with a crimson hue when she emphasized his name. He suddenly found his name to be so jarring when she spoke it.
“Do you even have the right?” he shot back
“Whether I do or not, I’m currently the seventh lord’s wife. Etiquette dictates I should address you as Malcolm,” she retorted coolly.
Her audacity was unparalleled!
“Malcolm, do you think replacing something so valuable with something similar can truly compensate for the loss?“.
“What are you implying?”
Was Bianca saying she wouldn’t accept it?
Bianca retorted without hesitation, “When I was a partner, I got there by my own effort! I had
everyone’s trust, which was how I obtained my unshakable position! What you’re giving me now…
do you think it’s the same? Can what you offer me even compare to what I had?”
Indeed, it couldn’t.
Bianca’s reputation in Verde City wasn’t just that of a partner. It was of someone truly trustworthy. With her at the helm, there was no way her client would lose their case.
Could Malcolm’s offering ever match that?
Even if Malcolm now thrust her into the pinnacle of power, it would never equate to what she had achieved on her own.
Malcolm was frustrated when he saw her mocking smile. Before he could say anything, Bianca suddenly leaned closer.
Her warm breath sent chills down his spine.
“You never consider compensating me when you destroyed everything I had, right?” she whispered
Malcolm was momentarily speechless, and his anger reached an unprecedented peak.
The provocative tone she used made him feel as if there were no reconciliation possible, making him want to throttle her right then and there,
No one had dared challenge him like this before!
His ‘instinctive reaction was to reach out and…!
However, all he was left with was Bianca’s mocking laughter as she retreated, the echoes of her tounts ringing in his ears.
Malcolm slammed a fist into the icy wall, wishing it were Bianca’s head.
From the sidelines, Conrad watched in alarm!
The way Bianca continued to provoke Malcolm made him fear for the worst. Especially recalling the way she had pronounced Malcolm’s name earlier…
Even from a distance, Conrad could sense the visible change in Malcolm.
This was turning into a disaster…!
He could hardly fathom what would unfold next
Meanwhile, Cedric had already taken Kayla to Wexford.
Natalie received news of it shortly after. “The private jet from an hour ago?”
“Yes, Miss,” Julian replied respectfully.
Natalie closed her eyes, memories flooding back–images of the child she had seen that day and Cedric’s countless audacious claims.
Then Clyde approached.
Observing Natalie’s furrowed brow, Julian made his exit. Once he departed, only Natalie and Clyde
remained in the room.
Clyde broke the silence. “Are you really going to Wexford with him?”
By ‘him‘, Clyde was referring to Irwin. Having spent time around Wexford, Clyde was well aware that the dynamics between Cedric and Irwin were far from amicable.
Natalie responded with determination evident in her voice, “Don’t I need to reclaim something?”
In the past, she might have let things slide!
However, Cedric had done something he never should have done in his life…
He had targeted Luna!
That was something Natalie couldn’t overlook.
When Clyde heard this, his frown deepened.
“Have you ever considered what Isabella might have done that’s so crucial to him?” Clyde voiced the question that had been lingering in his mind.
