Chapter 537 Poisoned to the Core 

At this juncture, Cedric was well aware that once Natalie located Frederick, she would have no intentions of siding with him or Irwin. 

Her hatred had reached its peak for both of them. 

“Leave!” Cedric ordered, irritation evident in his eyes, clearly reluctant to face the looming issue. 

Upon learning about Blair, Natalie’s emotions had spiraled out of control. She was indifferent to whatever transpired between him and Irwin. 

She had lost all trust in everything concerning them. 

With Lucas gone and the study now empty save for Cedric, he lit one cigarette after another. Smoking half a pack did nothing to ease his growing agitation. 

“Natalie…” He murmured her name, feeling a profound sense of hurt. 

What was he to do with her? 

The void left by her absence grew ever more pronounced in his heart! 

However, she had made her stance abundantly clear. 

She had mentioned that regardless of what transpired in their past lives, even if Isabella paid the ultimate price, it was what she had deserved. 

So, even if Isabella had sacrificed herself for Natalie in the end… in Natalie’s eyes, Isabella was still unforgivable. 

Her years of innocence had now transformed into an unyielding stance of non–forgiveness. 

The ruthlessness Natalie showed him now was just as intense as the injuries she had endured in his world. 

Yes, she was ruthless. 

But could he truly blame her? 

After all, his feelings towards Natalie once had been more than just animosity! 

At least from her perspective, her ruthlessness was justified. 

But some truths were not as they appeared to her! 

Unfortunately, no matter what Cedric said now, Natalie would never believe it. She had decisively removed him from her world in a swift and clean manner. 

In the dimly lit space, Cedric’s eyes were filled with anguish. 

In Simeria, the 

ion wasn’t a better.

With the backing of the Jarvis family, Natalie had returned and maintained relative cal 

around her. 

As for Bianca… 

Malcolm reappeared at Versant Villa, cigar in hand and his gaze deeply fixed on her. 

Bianca remarked, “What, not satisfied yet?” 

They had just seen each other this morning. Yet, at this moment, Bianca knew precisely why he had come. 

Given Jade’s recent condition and Malcolm’s repeated, unexpected appearances, it wasn’t hard to deduce his motivations. 

The significance of the Entes family to him, while a reason for his restraint, wasn’t the primary one. 

The true reason was, in fact, Jade. 

L 

“State your terms,” he said in an icy tone. 

Yet, beneath that coldness, Bianca discerned a sense of urgency in him. 

Undoubtedly, Jade held a pivotal place in Malcolm’s heart because of Faye. 

At his words, Bianca laughed. 

Her laughter was mocking. 

“Weren’t you saying something different before?” 

She remembered the times when he hadn’t given her any freedom of choice, trapping her at every turn. 

How had she responded then? 

She had said that if Malcolm didn’t kill her, she would take him down the moment she found the chance, and she would rip the very skin off his b*dy! 

Seeing him in such evident distress now gave her a sense of relief. 

Yes, he was obviously in distress! 

Even though Malcolm’hid it deep within, Bianca could keenly sense the impending eruption of 

emotions. 

“Previously, you said you would marry me!” Bianca was 

smirking, and her words dripped with irony.
