In Hillside Villa, the dim lights created an eerie sense of quietness.Natalie's phone vibrated, and she glanced at the number. It was Irwin.That man...!She answered in a flat tone, "Hello."At this moment, Malcolm's words suddenly flashed in Natalie's mind. He had told Natalie never to try to manipulate a man who was heartless and didn't love her, and then he had named Irwin as an example!Although Malcolm wasn't a good person, she had to admit his words were true.Irwin treated her with utmost tenderness, but she had never seen genuine love in his eyes."I'm downstairs."Natalie was momentarily stunned.She stood up, walked to the French window, and saw Irwin's imposing black G-Wagon parked beside her car. He wore a black windbreaker, exuding elegance and clarity."I'll be right down," Natalie said and hung up the phone. She turned around and grabbed her coat, throwing it over her pajamas. Then, she slipped on her slippers before going downstairs.Lydia was busy

They had all left.All of a sudden, everyone was gone!That night, Natalie didn't sleep a wink at Hillside Villa. She knew better than anyone else what she would face after daybreak.Putting aside Cedric... Irwin and Stephen have been in Simeria all this time.No one would pay too much attention if they were gone for only a few days.But what if it was a long time?And things would be especially bad for her. She was the niece that Stephen had just severed ties with. When she suddenly returned to Regal Horizons International, what kind of ruckus would that cause?!Wexford...What does it mean to them, and what does it mean to her?!At this point, she probably knew Irwin and Cedric had dragged her into the heart of this matter.Last night, she didn't directly confront Irwin. However, she only maintained a pitiful and laughable dignity on the surface...!Back when she had gotten together with Cedric, had he approached her deliberately with a purpose in mind?She didn't know!

Natalie's mind went blank, and she didn't return to her senses for a long time.She didn't even know when Malcolm had left.In her mind, there were lingering images of her beginnings with Cedric, the experiences they shared, and the horrifying outcomes. Undoubtedly, her modest height meant she wasn't the most beautiful girl in school. At most, she was delicate and petite.However, there were plenty of other attractive girls.So, why was Cedric singularly fixated on her?Their seven-year-long relationship had been filled with tender care, but it suddenly turned into a marriage that felt like she had stepped into hell.Her world had been turned upside down after that. There were so many differences in life before and after their marriage. There was also the cruel aftermath and...That massive fire...!And then the fire at the detention center...!Everything, including the reunion with Cedric in Simeria, had always been considered an unforgettable past and an inescapable nightm

Roland's expression was ever-changing as he looked at Natalie.Without directly answering Roland's question, Natalie lifted her gaze to look at him, her eyes filled with specks of starry laughter. "What would happen if the Entes family finds out about Frederick? Wouldn't you need to work hard and fast to transfer that half of the documents?"Roland was silent."Disregarding everything else about the Entes family, you have to admit that the one thing they don't lack is people. If every one of them were to keep an eye out for Frederick, you wouldn't be able to transfer those documents even if you wanted to, right?"Roland felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet!Natalie's cunning smile completely shattered all the threats and toughness in his mind.She was too frightening.If she really went to Wexford, it would undoubtedly lead to further chaos."Roland, how about we make a bet?""What are we betting on?""Let's bet whether Lord Malcolm is more interested in Bianca's

Isabella!Whether in a different lifetime or in this one, her presence had turned Natalie's world upside down and completely torn apart her life.Unpleasant memories flashed through her mind, and then...It froze on the image of Isabella finally apologizing to her, calling her Sis...!Natalie looked at Julian with wide eyes."She's... dead?""Yes.""How did she die?" Natalie asked as if she couldn't hear her own voice, her tone hesitant.Isabella was dead? Just like that? So suddenly?!That was...!"Her body was found in the Orchid River, and the cause is still under investigation," Julian replied."..."Her already troubled expression became even darker.Isabella's existence was a hateful one for Natalie, but hearing such news suddenly shook her to the core.In the midst of her chaotic thoughts, her gaze landed on Kayla, who was sleeping on the sofa. Dread built within her, and Natalie pursed her lips."When did this happen?""Over half a month ago!"Over half a month
