"What you're thinking right now is merely to cover things up as much as possible! After meeting our young mistress twice, I've come to understand that she's not easily fooled.""...""And don't you think your reactions towards her have been a bit excessive lately?"Lucas was silent. At Casey's words, his already grim expression darkened even further.There was no denying it.Casey was speaking the truth.Whether it was Cedric or Irwin, their reactions were overly intense when Casey intervened in this matter. Because Casey was one of Clyde's people, and they knew all too well what it meant to be associated with Clyde."It's only a matter of time before the truth was revealed."So, what's the point of hiding anything? Besides, Natalie isn't someone easily fooled, either.Whatever had caused such a strong reaction from both Cedric and Irwin was certainly not a simple matter. A flimsy excuse wouldn't suffice."Casey!""Mr. Smith, please leave.""You...""It seems you haven

Irwin turned to Shawn and commanded, "Go. Prepare everything immediately.""Irwin." Natalie's tone grew increasingly firm. Her head was already throbbing, and with each passing moment, it felt as though her headache intensified."Give me the phone first."Observing Irwin's behavior, Natalie was certain. Casey must have discovered something. Was the call... from Casey?Ever since Dylan departed, Irwin had been acting strangely. If someone were to tell Natalie that there wasn't any progress on the investigation, she wouldn't believe it!She had to admit that Casey certainly possessed some capability.At this moment, Natalie fully grasped the challenges Clyde had faced and the position he now occupied. The people around him spoke volumes about his journey."After we return from Mount Elven, I'll give it to you," Irwin replied calmly."You..." Natalie's anger surged. Hearing Irwin's response only heightened her emotions. Her phone kept vibrating, momentarily pausing befor

Heather was already furious. When she heard Stephen's assertion that Cedric intended to resolve his issues with Natalie in such a manner, she was beyond enraged. "He must be out of his mind! Not to mention Kayla is still with him!"Exactly.Kayla! Without a doubt, those close to Natalie knew that Kayla was a thorn on Natalie's side. But at a time like this, Cedric's desperation to lure Natalie back to him in such a manner was simply madness. "He's panicking," Stephen sighed.Indeed.Cedric was panicking. With Natalie and Irwin suddenly disappearing from Wexford and the public announcement of their engagement, how could Cedric not be anxious? Once upon a time, Natalie was within his grasp, whether it was for better or worse.But now, things have changed. The current Natalie was independent, making Cedric frantic."What good does panicking do him now? Where was he all this time?" Heather pressed on."...""Not to mention Isabella, but Kayla? Knowing how difficult it

Zane glanced at Bianca. "It's a family banquet."A family banquet?!"The Entes family holds a family banquet every half a year, which is why I haven't taken you there before," he said in a gentle tone, seemingly offering an explanation for never bringing her to the Entes family gatherings.Upon hearing this explanation, Bianca was taken aback for a moment, her eyes revealing a hint of unease. "You don't need to tell me all this.""You are now the mistress of Versant Villa and half of the Entes family," Zane added.Bianca fell silent.Her mind felt like it had exploded with those words as it struck a nerve deep within her. After all, she had never envisioned herself becoming the mistress of the Entes family.Previously, by Malcolm's side, she had endured endless humiliation. If she could, she would have cut ties with the Entes family entirely. But she knew that was impossible. Especially after the conflicts with Faye and now Jade, she and Malcolm would likely remain at odds

In Simeria, the entire mountain range of Entes Mountain belonged to the Entes family. Magnificent and grand structures resembling castles dotted the landscape as far as the eye could see.Bianca was momentarily stunned.As someone who loved traveling and had been to many places, she had never encountered a place where the architecture itself could so vividly depict a family's cultural heritage. Before today, she had only known the Entes family through its history in Simeria, spanning centuries. But witnessing firsthand, even just their architectural brilliance, left a profound impression."Let's go," Zane said, pulling her chilly hand as they walked deeper into the premises.Bianca was silent. Her steps felt unsteady. Were it not for Zane holding her hand, she might have stumbled. She had never felt nervous or fearful before. But now, there was an unsettling feeling of being unable to stand by his side.Her mind felt blank."What are you thinking about?" Zane's voice, warm
