"Um..." The Entes family's ninth daughter, Lorraine Entes, looked at Bianca with a hint of apology.Bianca replied, "Go ahead.""In that case, Bianca, do you remember the way back?"Bianca paused. She had been so focused on following Lorraine earlier that she genuinely didn't remember the way back! Recognizing her confusion, Lorraine immediately rose and instructed the maid who had come to fetch her, "Kelly, please escort Bianca back to the main courtyard.""Of course, Ms. Lorraine."After exchanging a few words, Lorraine departed. Kelly respectfully said to Bianca, "Ms. Bianca, this way, please.""Thank you.""Don't mention it, Ms. Bianca."Bianca stood up. She realized that she had walked quite a distance with Lorraine earlier. Now, the path back seemed complicated! "Kelly?""Yes, Ms. Bianca.""Does the Madam really have so many children?" Bianca asked with some apprehension.To be honest, just hearing the introductions from the maids at the main courtyard had left her

When they returned to Versant Villa, Bianca couldn't help but ponder how to swiftly conclude her dealings with Zane. Tonight, she had truly come to understand that the Entes family was not to be trifled with!Anyone with a semblance of reason would know not to get entangled with them. Once they did, it felt like sinking into a complicated web."What's on your mind?" Zane asked, noticing her thoughts had wandered. When he looked at her, his eyes held a depth that wasn't there before.Bianca responded in a somewhat frustrated manner, "Why do I feel like I've been dragged into a very complicated mess?"Indeed, that was precisely how Bianca felt. Even though she contemplated how to quickly conclude their transaction, she couldn't shake off the feeling that even after its conclusion, she wouldn't find peace."You're only realizing this now?" Zane questioned.Bianca remained silent.Now?!Bianca's heart was in turmoil as she looked into the man's calm eyes.Without waiting for B

"How considerate of you!" Natalie said, her tone indifferent.Compared to Cedric, Irwin indeed seemed more considerate. However, this demeanor carried a sense of purpose, making it hard for others not to be wary.Irwin looked at her and chuckled."Irwin," she began."Yes?""What does that matter mean to you all?" She was referring to the task she had asked Casey to investigate.Although she couldn't pick up the call from Casey before coming to Mount Elven, Natalie speculated that Irwin's urgency in bringing her here meant that Casey had uncovered something crucial.Earlier, when she had assigned Casey the task, there had been tension between Irwin and Cedric. Natalie became even more curious after seeing their strained interactions.What did that matter mean to them?!From a complex relationship, their interactions seemed to have deteriorated to the point of mutual animosity and revenge. The underlying issues were indeed perplexing."Nat.""Yes?""Just this month... Don

"In recent years, both the Stewart family and Alto have tried to gain advantages from Yvette being beside Alto. However, despite being married to Alto, Yvette never revealed Zane's secrets to them," Irwin explained."Zane's secrets?" Natalie inquired."Yes, Zane genuinely cares for her. Hence, she never concealed much from him.""So, you're suggesting that neither the Stewart family nor Alto treated her as family but rather wanted information about Zane from her?""That seems to be the case," Irwin affirmed.Years had passed, and nothing had transpired involving Zane. Despite their best efforts to separate Yvette from Zane, they hadn't acquired any information through her. Now, with new rumors circulating, it was evident that someone was deliberately orchestrating the situation behind the scenes.Despite Zane's escapades over the years, he had always been favored by the patriarch of the Entes family. This favoritism heightened the competition within the Entes family, especial

"You...!""You wouldn't dare," Irwin countered Cedric easily."Bring her back!" Cedric practically hissed each word through gritted teeth.However, the only response was the abrupt beep of the call ending.Irwin had hung up.The tension in the study, already palpable, reached an unbearable peak. Despite puffing on several cigarettes in quick succession, Cedric couldn't quell the storm raging within him.Lucas was standing nearby, and he sensed the brewing storm. "What now?" he asked hesitantly. The quietness of the study made even the faint sounds from the phone call audible.If it was about how the relationship between them had fallen apart, it had happened a long time ago. But this time... it was completely shattered.Whether it was about the documents or the individual involved, everything had come crashing down between them.Rubbing his throbbing temples, Cedric muttered, "We must find Natalie as soon as possible." The tone in his voice was tinged with regret. He h
