Chapter 496 What Banquet is Tonight? 

“What are you…” Bianca started. 

“From now on, whether it’s here or at Entes Manor, you better get used to this closeness, alright?” 

Bianca fell silent. 

What did Zane mean? 

Did that imply that tonight would involve intimate gestures? 

Despite being a strong woman, Bianca’s cheeks flushed slightly at the thought. 

“What’s the matter?” Zane noticed her silence and softened his tone, thinking he had startled 

her. 

Warm breath brushed against her neck, and Bianca felt something stir in the depths of her heart. 

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it,” Bianca said. 

“Hmm, good girl.” 

Bianca fell silent, and her heart stirred once more. 

Regardless of how powerful a woman might be, she couldn’t help but tremble slightly when treated like a child by a man. 

After lingering for a moment, Bianca watched with a dazed expression as the man turned away. 

Zane headed straight to the nearby cloakroom, selecting his attire. Coat first, followed by his suit and shirt.. 

Bianca fell silent as a storm raged within her. 

Turning around, she said, “I’ll wait outside for you!” 

“Just stay here.” 

“T–that’s…!” 

Bianca was usually articulate as a lawyer, yet she found herself stumbling over her words 

before Zane. 

Damn him! 

This man, he…! 

“Given that there are people from Entes Manor here, we need to adjust how we interact.”

man had already changed into his. 

The steady sound of his footsteps approached her. A force gripped her delicate waist, causing Bianca’s entire b*dy to stiffen instantly.

“It’s time to go,” a warm voice whispered in her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. 

Zane was simply bewitching! 

Witnessing this scene between Zane and Bianca, everyone’s hearts melted in envy. 

Many were envious of Bianca. 

When Bianca became the mistress of this place out of nowhere, and considering her relationship with Malcolm, many were initially skeptical. 

Yet, the fact that she had become the mistress of this place showcased her capabilities. 

Now, after several instances, everyone here had come to respect and submit to her. 

In the car, Bianca stared out of the window. 

Her tone was unusual as she said, “I’ll find that person tomorrow.” 

That person? One from Entes Manor? 

When Zane heard this, he was stunned momentarily. He looked at her and said, “There are also people loyal to Malcolm there.” 

Malcolm! 

The mere mention of his name caused Bianca’s already tense b*dy to stiffen further, making her heart skip a beat. 

“What kind of banquet is tonight?” 

She didn’t respond to his previous statement. 

Clearly, Malcolm had become such a thorn in Bianca’s side that even mentioning him felt like a waste of time.
